Samsung, Microsoft, and Sony scored higher than Apple in the latest Forrester customer-experience study, reports the WSJ.

This is the third year that Forrester conducted the survey and the first time Apple has fallen behind any of those companies. The report analyzed surveys from 7,500 U.S. consumers that were asked the following questions.

1. How enjoyable were they to do business with?
