9 new iPhone features.

[IM469]

I was so looking forward to your response but I have to say I'm disappointed. I was hoping for an explanation of how apple wa sinnovative by slightly doing what android has been doing since its inception but instead all you have is insults.

And irrelevant articles. There is no answer. An interesting article how Apple based on the power base built by Apple Bandai Pippin wink: ), is going to be the game console of the future with a developer kit put out a few months ago but they are not letting developers improve the functionality of their iPhones. If you can add Android features one generation of iPhone at a time, tout it as new and get your Apple minions to pay full price for another Android featured iPhone - why let anyone in ?

You guys can't write, think or do math... I'm wasting my time.

You are. Come back when the facts support your argument.

I have no problem if you want an iPhone but claiming that apple is innovative by doing things well behind the curve is laughable.

(and if you want game consoles with developer tools, steam has been doing it on PC for a long time and the current gen game consoles all allow for the indy game developer community).

Do I assume the math reference is because we aren't following the masses (as in the Apple original depiction of IBM) ? We can't think because we dare to question the unconditional faith in all the Apple says or does as being beyond approach ? Or is it our annoying characteristic to stick to facts and figures ? Or is it the smug expression when our teenage relative triumphantly shows their latest Apple fashion statement (as my software developers like to say 'Welcome to Apple Prison') ?

Don't worry OTB - I'm a technology whore. My attraction to the best products on the market has lead me from Palm, BlackBerry, iPhone to Samsung and undoubtedly will lead me away from Samsung. And if Apple builds a better Android that anyone else - I could go back but only with Jailbreak. Although that would involve Apple not just catching Android but leap frogging it. As Steve Jobs autocratic vision crumbles under the pressure of market reality ... you never know .....

No, it's that basketcase thought Samsung's quarter profits were about what Canada's annual GDP is.... in multiple posts he's proved that facts escape him when they don't confirm his world view.

The masses are with Android..... the value is with Apple.

You should check the latest valuation of market reality.....

This is the same moronic argument you made to discount Apple moving to a 64 bit architecture on phones (something their competitors are scurrying to match)..... you really are a fucking moron. If you don't think brining console level game performance to your phone is innovation then you really are a troglodyte.

You should check the latest valuation of market reality

Steve Jobs: Launch lawsuits to try and establish a legal enforced monopoly - Reality: Market share (as you agree) plummets and Tim Cooks starts dropping the lawsuits
Steve Jobs: No large screens - Reality - Apple scrambles to follow Samsungs lead as investors lost confidence drops $ 37 Billion off share value.
Steve Jobs: No NFC - he actually called it a 'trick' Reality - Gee OTB - this is a painful reminder Jobs was wrong for you !
Steve Jobs: No one wants a tablet pen Reality - It is still the number one feature for professionals that sets Note a part from the Apple copy.
Steve Jobs: No third party Apps on the iPhone Reality - There was a huge internal push to convince Jobs to reverse the decision.


Sorry OTB ... Steve Jobs had some great marketing ideas but technically - he was a dwarf standing on other peoples shoulders claiming their achievements as his own. If Tim Cook didn't pull up on the yoke and ignore Job's edicts, Apple would be 100 feet under the ground by now.

Typical bot, when he can't argue he tries to turn the tech forum into the investment forum.

And once again bot tries to switch the tech forum into the investment forum.

Oh boo hoo. Bot is insulting me just because I doubt that apple's innovations are a big deal. So what if Android (and Sony and Microsoft) beat apple to the game dev punch - in Android's case for decades. So what if Apple's innovative NFC payment idea was originally developed for Android.

But that's okay. They have a fingerprint scanner.

.... So what if Apple's innovative NFC payment idea was originally developed for Android.

To be fair, NFC has been around long before smartphones and were already in use on BlackBerry, Widows as well as Android. Apple (Steve Jobs) wanted a monopoly on financial transactions so Apple went on an unsuccessful 'only Apple' route. Fingerprint technology is used by Samsung, HTC and Huawei as well as Apple.

Ok, so far I got “Apple copied Android, Apple spends more on marketing, Apple users are sheep and who cares its just a fingerprint scanner"... could one of you neckbeards post something about Apple being doomed so I can complete my line on Android troll bingo? Pretty please? Thanks!

Why would we say that ? Apple isn't doomed as you may fear..djk. Apple's are listening to investors and distancing themselves from the draconian and shortsighted playbook left behind by Steve Jobs. Bigger screens, NFC, keyboard options, widgets, personalized screens ....

The new Android inspired Apple will survive and grow stronger. As you enjoy your new Apple Android features just let me say on behalf of Android .... you're welcome !!

BTW: It's been about two years for Apple to study the various Android smart watches ... I'm sure they will get one out soon ... you're welcome !

You can join bot in the investment forum to discuss the economics potential of apple vs. other companies if that's what you want.

Meanwhile here in the TECHNOLOGY forum, feel free to discuss the technological benefits of of Apple's innovations.


As far as I'm concerned, the current android offerings suit me better than what apple has. If apple can come up with something that makes their markup worthwhile, I'd have no problem buying apple just like years ago I went with the ipod over the other options.

^this.

I'm not a music person in the traditional sense in that I need a portable music device plugged into me all day when I'm walking or wherever.
But if I were, I would have bought the iPod years ago over other players because it was (IMO) better than the options at the time, although, overpriced.
Then competitors took it up a notch, allowed for micro/mini SD cards (expandable memory) and THAT was a great move.

It's no different than SONY at the time pimping their proprietary mini-disc garbage, then flash based players came out and destroyed them thankfully.

What value? lol
They're all made in China by the same manufacturers and "sweat shop" people. lol

Market valuation got to do with all this?

Yes, Apple has a ton of money.
Reason, because their overpriced products.

He's obsessed with money, he needs to feel justified in his spending. His toys make up for some huge emptiness in his life, it's so clear, it's quite sad.
There's no doubt he spends a ton of money on tech stuff and probably the "high end" stuff to really fill that void, but hey, to each their own.
He's just insanely annoying about it, much like a five year old kid who gets the shiny new bike and just won't shut up about it and is isolated from everyone else.

Work your insecurities out with your therapist or bartender, no one here cares.

You obviously care fanboi.

And the arguments in this thread concerning Apple playing 'catch up' to Android/Samsung only proves i was RIGHT over a yr ago with my topics saying the EXACT SAME THING:

Samsung/Android moving ahead.

Apple falling behind.

Same old same old..

Like I've said more than once over a yr ago.. Over 2 yrs ago.. The passage of time will prove me right and it HAS!!

Bow down and lick my feet OTB cause the case is closed!! :closed_2:
