Apple worked on tablets way before 2002.Samsung stealing from the best
My fav
What are you going on about. I’m an iPhone user and very much in the Apple ecosystem. Your inability to concede Samsung makes good hardware and has some neat software (multitasking/split screen to name one) doesn’t preclude Apple from also making great hardware software. But the annoying “Samsung sucks and copies Apple” is about as fresh as 2009.
Sure it can. It is actually possible to love and use Apple while acknowledging Samsung and others make impressive hardware and software.
I don’t “love” Apple, but I do think their offerings are the best of the bunch.
Samsungs phone software is not impressive. It’s Android with a skin over the top and a lot of unnecessary changes in functionality for the sake of “differentiation”.
For the record, I like Android, but not the Samsung hacked up implementation. OneUI was a vast improvement over TouchWiz but it’s still not great.
Samsung actually has a good product and good ideas. For example, they provide a portion of their screens to Apple, which shows how advanced their hardware is.
I wish they would stop copying Apple in EVERYTHING and come up with their own identity, like Xiaomi or Google.

Samsungs Ultra series has always produced top end devices. My girlfriends S22 Ultra is impressive but android just isn't for me. Now if it was possible to run iOS on an Ultra I would definitely give it a try..
As far as I can tell titanium is 90% marketing and 10% engineering. Samsung needed to match the marketing not the engineering so they are getting titanium.
Which hardware are you referring to? Approximately 80% of the components in a Samsung smartphone are not developed by Samsung.
The processor, modem, and sensors are developed by Qualcomm, the battery is from ATL, and the RAM is supplied by Micron. And, of course, the operating system is developed by Google.
Also: “The vulnerabilities were communicated to Samsung more than 3 months ago, but the Korean manufacturer has so far done nothing about it, say engineers at Google Project Zero.”
Wanna preface this by saying I'm typing on a s23 rn
But good lord does Samsung lack personality sometimes....their current materials are resistant AND light, what the **** would they use titanium for , seriously

I wonder if they will do things to reduce weight since using titanium will otherwise make the phone heavier.
Apple's embrace of titanium for its latest iPhone 15 Pro chassis appears to have impressed Samsung enough that the Korean rival plans to adopt the material for the next version of its flagship smartphone.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra will be the first Samsung phone to use titanium and the company intends to expand the application depending on users' reception, according to The Elec.
For the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple is using a new titanium frame rather than a stainless steel frame, which cuts down on weight. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are approximately nine percent lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The iPhone 15 Pro weighs 187 grams, down from 206 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max weighs 221 grams, down from 240 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
According to the report, Samsung's adoption of titanium for the S24 Ultra is unlikely to lead to an equivalent weight reduction compared to the S23 Ultra, since Samsung currently uses light aluminum in its flagship devices, whereas Apple previously used heavier but more durable stainless steel.
According to The Elec's sources, Samsung has been mulling using titanium cases for around two years, although the decision to go ahead with its commercializtion only came recently – but not without cost. Titanium is widely used in the aerospace sector. However, it is more difficult to handle in cutting and processing, and its low heat conductivity makes it harder to cut cleanly.
Samsung is therefore bracing itself for lower yield rates, which will push up the price of the frames. The aluminum cases in the company's premium phones currently cost less than $20, while titanium versions could cost up to $100, according to the report. Samsung is said to have "tentatively" set a goal to make 15 million frame units – the same number of Galaxy S23 Ultra models it shipped this year.

I never said it was successful. Just saying Apple worked on one well before Microsoft released one, so you can't say the iPad copied Microsoft.Sure, if you consider the Newton a successful product.
Sure, if you consider the Newton a successful product.
Technologically, the Newton was very impressive -- especially considering it had OCR back then. However, the OCR was a bit picky, and the software was a bit awkward to use, and the Newton was very expensive to boot.
Sound familiar?
agreed...now turn that around and you can say the exact same thing about Apple....you can even find Samsung technology in iPhones.
Then lets be real here. Apple has been late to fix exploits for years. A simple Google search can list them all. But here is one.

Can't wait to hear the chatter when iFone fold comes out lmaooooGood old Samesung.
They really can’t resist can they!
Weird. Samsung is fixing a problem they don't have. Their lightweight aluminum and plastic phones were fit for purpose, light and have very low SARS ratings. Why would they want to follow Apple down the path of expensive finishes with troubled reception and high SARS ratings?
For sure more successful than Microsoft and Star Trek’s product props.Sure, if you consider the Newton a successful product.
