jester3681 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Haven't paid for an iPhone in 3 years I've NEVER paid for one. Of course my phone sucks. It's a kindofSmartphone. Not too cool. Counting down the days until my contract expires, then bye bye AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You post a link to the back story, good for you. I will once again set you straight. Apple has not successfully sued Google over Android ITSELF! Apple has gone after the hardware side and software ADDITIONS to Android on their devices. So to say the courts agree too is a stretch....fanboy retort in.....3......2......

jporter12 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 My HTC EVO LTE works great, no problems.Same here. I don't think I've had the first problem with my EVO LTE. Why is Apple so protective of it's patents (is the stuff in that article above true?) Is it afraid of the competition?Meh, it IS just a phone. A VERY sophisticated phone, but yes, a phone none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama says something stupid, all of a sudden it was "taken out of context" when he's just an idiot for saying things the way he does.

RHill Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I used to care about tech products, but became burnt out on keeping up with it about 6 months ago. They are approaching a plateau in mobile devices, there is only so much functionality you can cram into a UI that is as small as a mobile device. Either the UI will have to expand beyond the device, or increases in processing power and screen resolution will no longer matter. If you don't believe this, think of how many times you have opened the wrong app by mistake....now how about when you were trying to drive and open one.Apple is one of the most iterative companies that exists, they just have an amazing way of convincing their consumers that each iteration is evolutionary and no one could have imagined it before their product introduction.

ChiefScooter Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 That story was about how google stole the design from Apple. Now as far as them suing and winning, they have. Against googles major partners for the android OS.Interesting tidbit: Apple only won a case against Samsung in the USA, which is Apple's home turf. Of course, that's all that matters, right? But in Japan, they lost their case. In Korea, both companies won and subsequently lost.I find it all rather interesting, seeing as how Samsung provides a lot of the physical equipment for the Apple products in question... So basically, Apple sued their own hardware supplier?The real problem here is the patent system. Way too general. Apple made a general patent along the lines of "rectangular, touch screen phone", and then sued the people who came along and made one, even though those sorts of devices were already in production before the iPhone. Apple merely patented the idea. I think that is called "patent trolling."Anyways, regardless of your flavor of phone, both the iPhone and Android phones are great in their own ways, and share some great innovations. I wonder if Nokia will ever bounce back, seeing as how before the iPhone, they were one of the largest mobile phone manufacturors in the world.

drew95gt Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 The point of not having to put out a drastically different phone is that Apple got it right the first time around. The iPhone 5 is just an evolution of a great product, no need to redesign the wheel when you are the one that invented it in the first place. It is the sense of familiarity coupled with the addition of new technology (faster processors, retina displays, better OS, etc) that sells products for Apple. Steve Jobs would be proud of the way Apple is continuing to succeed, he was a bit of a design minimalist and Apple's products reflect that. I am not a iPhone fanboy either as I don't have one, but I do own several iOS devices and really like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at cars in china where they have basically just slapped on Chinese badges and BAM, new car company.You're oversimplifying the issue here man. It's not just that Apple patented a rectangle with rounded corners and that's what all their lawsuits are based on. Google took the iOS, copied it and slapped their own badge on it.And if you pay attention to the news, Apple is phasing out Samsung as a hardware supplier.

Simplysix Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Both iPhone (4s and I'm assuming 5) and the newest androids are great phones. The one iPhone will also do better is work with other toys; Mac computers, iPad, apple tv, docks, so on. This appeals more to some people than others. If you are just lookin to upgrade to a newer smartphone, either would be fine. Itd come down to preference on size and things like that.
