You really think Apple "followed" Essential? You are hilarious. I bet Essential sold <1M phones total, ever. |

By your definition, I would agree Apple is innovative. By the above definition, I don't. Quote:
However, when you say the entire Android OS is an Apple knockoff you completely prove how little you know and how wrong you are. There's simply no truth in that. You are assuming I said somewhere that Android is superior which I didn't say. I have a preference for Android because I prefer the flexibility in personal choice that Apple doesn't provide, but I never said it was superior. Since my wife has all iOS products I am pretty familiar with Apple and I much prefer the user experience I get from Android. You are confusing your preference with quality and/or innovation. It's not ... it's just your preference. BB10 and Windows Phone ... those were superior and innovative operating systems, but didn't survive. You might not have noticed how much Windows Phone UI made it into iOS over the past few years, but there's a lot of it by the way. That Apple sells millions of phones doesn't make it better than someone else's product. If quality of the OS = sales, Apple and Android would be out of existence by now. Remember Beta vs VHS? As for the rest of your rant, it's quite unbelievable. Could you possibly drink more Cupertino flavoured Kool-Aid? Last edited by JohnnyCanuck; 06-01-2018 at 10:28 AM.. |

Look the reality is... that its kind of irrelevant who invented what... who capitalized, best marketed it, got it accepted and sold it is who matters...
again... myspace vs facebook netscape vs google taxis vs uber That is modern reality... Guess what Leaonardo Da Vinci invented a type of flying contraption...

Now, none of you will get any criticism from me on the wisdom of having bought AAPL. Then again, not complaining about 262% on Microsoft, 131% on Intel, 268% on AMD, 91% on BlackBerry, or 87% on Nokia ... not to mention great dividends on MSFT and pretty good in INTC.
Smart investing in tech stocks is just part of good investment strategy. |

Apple doesn't innovate aside from putting emoji buttons on laptops. The world is headed towards AI and cognitive thinking - Siri and Apple Home technology is as useless as the Newton. Tim Cook makes his money off iPhone sales because the true innovator, Steve Jobs, is no longer with us. (by the way, I love my iPad Pro)

Now show me that when AI matters, Apple won’t be there. Your evidence is Siri? Siri can be updated and Apple is going to be a leader in AR...they are already building the framework for it today with their best in class mobile A-Series chips (one example of innovation) and sheer number of iOS devices active. Since you aren’t the product with Apple, they limit how much they know about you because they don’t constantly collect your data like Google and Amazon. Apple’s strategy is working beautifully and when the money making opportunities shift to AR, AI, or whatever else, Apple will be there. I wouldn’t doubt they are working on big things in those spaces. The point with the Essential is there was one item behind the notch. Apple’s notch has multiple pieces of technology that changed the way users authenticate their phones in a secure way. Apple pays zero attention to Essential, just like users. Apple constantly innovates and leads the industry, as I mentioned earlier in specific examples I provided. |

I've posted what it means to innovate, and apple has been widely proclaimed an an innovator numerous times. Your desire to change the definition of the word is immaterial to the truth. As far as Siri, I think you're being shortsighted when it comes to voice activated interfaces. The development into AI and artificial cognitive thinking requires a massive amount of data on human nuances. A important part of that data comes from Siri, Alexa etc. The value isn't merely to sell a device, or get marketing data for ads, it's to gain access to the immense amount of data about us and our behavior and how we interact with AI.

I'm confused as to whether we're supposed to be bashing the Chinese for their shit IP protection record, or arguing Apple vs Android here
Anyway, if no ones stopping them from making these, what more a knockoff iPhone? https://www.autoblog.com/2018/05/31/...us-copy-china/ https://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/19/...-court-battle/ |

I'm sure when the machines take over the eventual winner will be declared.
Apple produce wonderful designs, Android is an open platform that's becoming more prevalent implemented on a wide variety of non 'phone' devices and environments. I'd welcome Apple design, Android OS in an affordable package, (not Apple's strongpoint). Selling expensive gadgets to those who who have to have the latest and greatest has served them very well. Given the level of personal debt in the US, I wish they hadn't been so successful. |

Well...my iPhone 6S just died yesterday and wouldn’t turn on. Thought about going with Android but since my car only supports CarPlay, I ended up with an iPhone x. Not happy that I had to spend $1,300 on it. Kind of don’t like how everything is gesture based now. It was much easier to close out apps with double clicking the home button and swipe.

They can always do something to enhance closing apps in iOS 12, but there is no reason to ever close apps. Craig F, the software VP at Apple, said iOS manages the apps in the background and you really gain nothing by closing unused apps. Best phone I’ve owned. Also, make sure you’re running iOS 11.4...it’s butter smooth and lightning fast. Also, to quickly pull up the app switcher, just swipe up and right in one motion like a 90degree angle. Once you get this, closing apps is easier. |

Are you this naive? Yes they do and yes you are. Not to the degree that they're are as revenue dependent on data like Google, but make no mistake ... Apple uses your data to keep you inside their proprietary tent.

Apple has no idea what you ask Siri, for example, because it's encrypted. They don't know what you buy because it's encrypted. They don't know what you message people or what's on your phone, because it's encrypted. You can say all that's false and they really know everything about you, but there are no facts to back that statement up. Apple is a leader in advocating privacy. |
