Apple is considered to be fairer than some manufacturers because they update older models for longer (something Google has now got Android makers to agree to do - for 18 months after launch), so when Apple added the new features on iOS, like multitasking, they offered it to older models too.
Apple is often late to enter the game with new features, but it simply waits until it's working perfectly for one, and easy to market for two. They'll create profiles of people who can use/enjoy the features, and create situations where you can use them. The advertising, and the launches, are as clever as the products (well, actually - more so).
It's great that a company like Samsung can intro a new feature, but often it's a bit of tech that's ready for something that hasn't taken off yet or isn't fully finished (whether that's a new standard for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC). Fine for early adopters who will wait, but no good for Apple.
I've been to John Lewis today and they have two Android tablets that are far better specified than the iPad 2, but one is already being discounted. The iPad still has people looking and enquiring about stock levels (assuming they're still hard to get hold of).
