I agree with you that Android devices (as Google products in general) do not have a premium feel. I notice that kind of thing a lot.
Yeah, that's pretty impressive I must say. Easy fix for Apple to compete on that though.
This is not a dig at you but the quote itself is the most overused bunch of crap. Competition is good when there IS competition. Does anyone look at this Google phone and think "wow Apple must be scared"? If anything, atleast Samsung tries new things and attempts to push the market forward. This phone isnt making Apple do anything different.
When it competes yes, when instead of innovating it copies it is useless!
You're absolutely right. We're already seeing iPhone CPUs mincing the competition. Double the per-core performance is staggering. Now, let's throw in an optimised OS. Standardised hardware. Great build quality. Stores everywhere. Fabulous support.
If Apple keep this up, coupled with the rumoured aesthetic features of the next-gen iPhone, I just can't see what appeal any Android device could possibly offer anybody.
Plus the same price as an iPhone? They have to be kidding.
If its easy, why haven't Apple already implemented this? Why do other manufacturers have to do this first before Apple?
The first time I saw the iPhone 6, I thought it was an Android phone.
Going from the design of the 4 and 5 to the 6 was a downgrade in my opinion.
Let Google keep the design.
Which is why Apple is selling less iPhones. They need to do something different.
Unlimited high-res image storage is pretty awesome. C'mon Apple, time to compete!
I sure hope Apple comes up with some really awesome stuff for the iPhone 8 cuz they are really going to need it now!
Somehow, I think they will.
The only good thing (and it is significant) about Android is that it's the reason why an entry-level iPhone doesn't cost $1000. So don't bash Google even if you don't like the product.
If I wasnt buying iPhones I wouldnt mind trying that phone. Its not ugly, I dont understand what people are complaining about about. Its quite subtle and clean. I gotta say though its a bit too rip-offy of the iphones look and wallpaper as the marketing wallpaper. But all in all it looks like a nice phone. wireless charging blah blah....iphone doesnt have it either, stop whining.
Every well run Company is ALWAYS looking at what the competition is doing. It would be stupid not to.
But not even the first iPhone cost that much, yet Android didn't really exist...
Though I guess if you throw in the price of the contract, it came to much more than that. Not sure if you could buy the first iPhone SIM-free?
What I don't get is – every Google and anti-Apple site slammed the iPhone 7's aesthetics, and yet these same people are going to masturbate over the Pixel for looking exactly the same.
All I'm gonna say is that phone looks very much like something Google would design. Oh, and one more thing: It's funny that people think Apple has lost their design edge.
LOL, Siri already executes that request perfectly for me. Siri is hardly perfect...surely they could have come up with something that Google assistant would correctly execute but Siri could not do (but apparently not).
