Biggest in what way? Number of employees? Sure. Revenue? Samsung has got them beat [1]. Also, influential is very difficult to prove definitively. I find that word to be very subjective. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_informatio...

The iPod (MP3 players revolution - everybody got one) The iPhone (mobile phone/internet always-connected mobile phones became a standard) The iPad (literally created a new industry sector...)

The ipad hasn't had that big of an influence - sure it's a huge industry and it's good fun, but people would have done almost the same things using large phones pretty well.

It's hard to argue Samsung are more influential a company than Apple when the look of Samsung's products are so obviously "influenced" by Apple.

I never said Samsung is more influential than Apple. I also never said Apple isn't influential. I don't know where you got those ideas from. All I said is, according to what I found, Samsung has more revenue than Apple. Also, I think the word "influential" is subjective. That is all.
