Obviously to market it. Who cares if Apple patented it. In a few years, it most likely will be another patent that's invalidated.
Samsung is already copying it, and will upon release tout it as their "greatest design invention".Haha you could be in for a loooonnnggggggg wait as Apple believe this is the future:
Indeed.
I would never buy a Samsung, but it makes me sad to think that you may need to buy one if you want a flush camera.
I'd like Apple to make a 4" iPhone with a flush camera, no ugly antenna bands, a grippy back and enough battery to last a day even when using GPS constantly. And no hump, please; just a nice, rounded-off design.
Yeah that I admit was a gimmick.
From personal experience though, 3D Touch sounded way cooler than it is in practice. I guess it's personal difference.
2Gb ram was my favorite addition . Had my iPhone 6 Plus had that, I would not have upgraded.
This is an example of how Samsung copies even Apple's BAD ideas. I talked to Joanna Stern briefly on Twitter and she said she was writing an article about how 3D Touch, Live Photos, are just demo gimmicks that the majority don't use. I'm sure people are going to yell at me saying they use 3D Touch, but overall, it's not a well used, or well loved feature.
No, they don't all copy each other, that's a false equivalencies; even the thing Apple supposedly copied were things that already existed in IOS jailbreak before they made their way to Android. And the "larger" phone was the original Iphone, making it even larger, well that's not even Samsung who did it first and that's certainly not an innovation.
It's been out 2 months, talk to me by the end of the year when most big apps have it. Bet, you'll sing a different tune.
SAMSUNG DIDN"T INVENT THE PHABLET, and a bigger screen is not an innovation. BTW, the original Iphone was already a much bigger screen.... Learn to google....
That's a great cop-out.
No, the original large phone wasn't the iPhone, come on, we can't trace everything back to that. The note gets that title, and the entire tech industry would agree.
I don't care about jailbreak or cyanogen mod, we are talking about the companies. Androids xda community has experimented with more things, software wise, then anyone else.
Yes Samsung has copied apple, and yes Apple has copied Samsung. Any rational person can admit that. It's the same everywhere in the industry.
Once you admit that, things start to make more sense. There is a reason these two operating systems look more and more alike each generation.
And their argument is still valid, Apple filed for a patent back in January 2014. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14...sensitive-iphone-touchscreen-in-patent-filing
Lol, Obviously they named Xbox 360 because of marketing!!!! But it had nothing to do with PS3.
Yes it is true. No one wants to use Android, they just can't afford an iPhone.
That sums up a large majority of people on this forum. What's the point in even trying? Better luck arguing liberal politics with a tea party member.
I bet they'll call it "Dimensional Touch," because it "sounds cooler than 3D Touch."
(PS - it doesn't sound any cooler)
I was going to make the EXACT same comment. Fanboyism at its most deluded (or paid astroturfing)!
If the S6 (and its cousins) with their shiny new design couldn't beat the iPhone 6 in an "S" year in terms of sales, I hope Samsung doesn't think they have a better chance against the iPhone 7 with an S7 that is basically an "S6S".
I see more defective Samsung's at work than any other type of phone. The LG's come by their poor battery life naturally, but the ones that are constantly overheating and glitching out are the S6 phones. I see a handful of broken iPhones, but not nearly as many dying and restarting on their own for no reason.
So this will be like the iPhone 6s... except with glass on all sides of the phone again on the Edge version (most breakable phone yet?), burn-in on the screens (also a thing I see constantly on the demo phones at work), and probably won't solve the constant slew of other problems they've had on their phones for years.
Hmm... Wonder why their sales are plummeting.
