Not just Apple. They do this to other companies as well. Imitate and copy, produce cheaper (often with lower quality), take over market share and eventually destroy the competitor. Apple isn't the only one fighting Samsung in courts. Others include Pioneer, LG, Siemens, Kodak and Sharp. When being sued, they countersue and those expensive legal battles often end in a settlement.
You mean like the several Android handsets that have already done this that Apple are copying!! Can they do nothing original anymore!!
It's the highlight the same boring truth to the same boring people who never read the comments, but just dive in head first with the rediculous Samsung copy this, Samsung copy that. It is so lame. Then on the next page they praise Apple when they copy someone for waiting to do it right. The hyprocacy is off the page..
Hey, it's a design thing.. the content is still relevant.
I know. In the UK, their computer business went so much down the crapper, Samsung stopped selling computers altogether. Don't know about other countries.
Apple have been the product designers for Samsung for some time. Maybe one day Samsung will tell them.
Oh, my bad then :3 People tend to mock Samsung name on the basis that it's supposed to be too long, when they're now roughly the same length. Glat I could learn something todayI was making fun of an actual mid-2014 phone called like that
My thoughts exactly. Not to mention....my god there is nothing like backing up unbridled arrogance with sheer stupidity.
It is the wrong way to see it. It is not like when you add a functionality or when you make a product to looks like an other. There is a trend of a port becoming obsolete, and Apple choose to push in that direction. They does not initiate the trend but since they have a lot of weigh in the industry it is a major move which can be see like an inflexion point. Plus, if they bring a compelling solution to get rid of the jack, the move can be seen as a starting point as all anterior move by the competition would be considered non significant.
Doesn't add anything? Good lord
Love it, let me guess tho, when Apple copy it 100% it will be magical. You sir are awesome lol
iPhone and iOS focuses on usability way more than any other manufacturer at this point. Look at the dedicated mute switch. That makes life so much more easier to put the device in silent mode rather than digging into the menu system. You really need to understand what usability is to appreciate what iPhone and iOS do on day to day tasks.
So click the side of the phone is so much quicker than scrolling up and clicking silent on Samsung phones eh?
I'm not one of those zombie Apple followers but I can see a good design. FYI I have way more Android devices than Apple devices.
Yes it is. As I said, you need to understand design and usability to appreciate it.
Not really, hardly any difference at all.
I bet if they remove a feature, a better or as good of a solution will be implemented. That's what Apple as a company does better. Implement features that have actually been thought through. Not like most of the Android manufacturers, especially Samsung, that crams in features without thinking how it should be implemented to get the intended benefit out of it.
Yes of course. But that's a conscious choice the user will make depending on their use case.Unless, of course, you have set it to be the rotation lock instead
I'm not saying they're flawless but they're way better than the Android OEMs. Also the document thing you mentioned, there's a valid use case. You're supposed to read the document rather than scroll past to the end, isn't that a valid usability scenario?!
Sadly we see this excuse from Apple fans too much. "Apple are just waiting to get it right"
So placing your finger on the down volume for about a second, which mutes the volume is a pain is it. Wow.is your life that busy you can't spare the time?
