The iPhone is still #1 individual smartphone model. iOS has rarely been the #1 smartphone OS except for maybe a qtr or two. Oh and the iPhone still earns the most profits.

     

    Apple has not made innovative software additions since Siri, which was quickly surpassed by Google Now in almost every way.  iOS 7 is a step in the right direction, but the OS is still fundamentally the same.  Look at the multitasking software in the Note 3.  The S Pen allows for some truly useful software tweaks like drag-and-drop from one app to another in the multiwindow view or the saving of content simply by circling it.

    So, again, what is the definition of the word 'copy'?

    Of course they are, from the same fork handle indeed. However - what AnalogJack claimed is very true.

    Perhaps just like without the US Apollo missions - TTL, WD40, Teflon etc... would not have been invented at that time. Had Jobs / Apple not revolutionized the smart phone and touch based computer with the iPhone and iPad, products heavily based on them would still have been invented, eventually

    Android inc was incorporated in 2003 originally to build a better OS for cameras etc... Apple were already developing touch versions of its OS for the iPhone at this time


    What AnalogJack was referring was the OS not Smartphone. So since iOS is UNIX based, it did not have any role/influence in development of Android. Stating that if not for iOS Android would not exist is not correct.

    Linux is just a free version of Berkley system V Unix. Some licensed parts of the kernel were modified but in the essence is the same OS. If you look on HP, Sun Microsystem or SGI you will see different implementation/flavor and GUI of the base Unix.

    Sure, you don't play games, you just scream and rant.

     

    Copy, imitate, follow a pre-existing pattern.  The standard definition.

     

     

    Go on then.  Prove that if Apple is making a phablet then Apple aren't following in Samsung's footsteps.

     

    Since Samsung are widely credited with inventing the phablet form factor I don't hold high hopes that you're going to rise to the task.

    Linux, being just really a kernel, was written from scratch by Linus Torvald. It provides an appearance of the same OS as you say.

    Not really sure what you think that proves, but it definitely doesn't bear any relation to anything earlier in this thread.

     

    And that "pathetic statement"?  Not something I said.  Not something anyone said.  You're fighting imaginary monsters.

    did you read AnalogJack he clearly mentioned  smartphone.... and my point is that without IOS and the iPhone, Android would not have been hijacked from a camera OS, into an OS for smartphones. There would have been a linux/unix or whatver based smartphone OS eventually, but who knows when it would have been invented/delveloped if it were not for Jobs & Apple

    Hey,

    What i expect them to eventually do is have a line up where the cheapest iPhone will have a 4 inch screen and a normal iPhone will have a 4.5 inch- 4.7 inch screen next year (maybe the iPhone 6), then they will release a 'Phablet' iPhone that will have a 5.5 inch.

    If we have a look back at old Apple products ( http://www.technologeek.net/a-look-back-at-apple-products-of-old/), we can clearly see that the more an Apple device is recent, the more the screen is bigger. This is why I think that the next iPhone could have a bigger screen ;)

    Best regards, Huber Bucher

    You hilariously proved that, according to your own standards, all of Apple's products are copies.  Maybe not their original computer.

    What was a lie?  That Apple hasn't put innovative software into iOS since Siri?  Or that Siri was quickly surpassed by Google Now in usefulness?  I'd like you to give reasons or examples for whichever one it is.

    "Invent" is not the word I'd use. All Sammy did was add a diagonal inch to an existing shape. Are you gonna credit LG for "inventing" a 60" TV? Or another company for making a taller fridge?

    You don't see many people clamoring for a 12' fridge. Maybe Samsung should pretend they know what we want and make one.

    Don't forget the stylus!  That makes the Note a unique product.
