I do admire apple for making smart use of the dumbed down society. Steve Jobs was a great marketer and I complement him for making so much money with so little effort.

Ok apple haters and lovers and everyone in between. Maybe apple stole everything or maybe they are innovation geniuses.. I don't really care. Just look at the pics and check the facts. Windows and Android always have and always will dominate computing.

Why you ask? Money in my opinion. Apple would rival Android and even Windows if they cut their prices drastically so they could attract businesses and a larger part of the consumer market.

There are Linux smartphones?
Like they sell those? Or do people just reprogram existing phones with other OS'
#188 to #123 - rafikithenig (11/15/2012) [-]
I have no idea. Knowing linux users, they probably walk around with frankenphones that duel boot OSs or something.

And if they actually had a decent, internal programming API where others could make programs without setting themselves on fire.

Samsung should have used this in court!
User avatar #70 to #65 - beatmasterz (11/14/2012) [-]
Yeah a post on funnyjunk would be very convincing..
User avatar #71 to #70 - trevcars (11/14/2012) [-]
If it's true it seems pretty convincing to me.
User avatar #75 to #71 - beatmasterz (11/14/2012) [-]
Well for starters every evidence in a trial must be carefully analysed before submitted. They'd have to question op and find sources for all the claims.
User avatar #76 to #75 - trevcars (11/14/2012) [-]
okay, I didn't mean to go to court and use this exact post. I'm talking about using all the information in the post.
User avatar #77 to #76 - beatmasterz (11/14/2012) [-]
ah like that. Sure, samsung had probably thought of that already though.

Alright. OP, why don't you try combining all those ideas into one product and selling it.

Android....Blackberry....

Dumbass.

They did it after the Iphone
#190 to #181 - calibratuner (11/18/2012) [-]
Not Really. Palm Treo is a good example of a company doing it before the iphone. DO some research, there are phones that did the same thing before the iphone.
#191 to #190 - catzombie (11/18/2012) [-]
I guess these companies were terrible at business because their ideas never got through to the public?
#192 to #191 - calibratuner (11/18/2012) [-]
Not particularly. They reached the market at the wrong time. I had palm products and i loved them, i personally would have purchased the palm treo if i could have afforded it at the time, but i was only 14/15. The reason iphone became popular is because of the ipod, and apples marketing techniques. Which spurred a lot of tech movement for the average person to start buying them.

You mean like a Droid Razer? Or a Samsung Galaxy? That is a few years old now and has all of those features? Plus apps to add any feature i want?

It isn't hard to make smartphones anymore.
#182 to #67 - catzombie (11/14/2012) [-]
Those were after the Iphone
#187 to #182 - rafikithenig (11/15/2012) [-]
Oh i see what you're saying. I thought you meant alone the iphone has all that but you were saying the figured out how to put it all together.

Point accepted.
#61 - N. Korean citizen (11/14/2012) [-]
I guess i will be buying products from the manufactors who does best at stealing then

Seriously who gives a fuck. They made a phone which is better than the other phones on the market therefore they sell more. You might as well punish bicycle compsnies for ripping off the wheel.
#68 to #59 - rafikithenig (11/14/2012) [-]
They don't sell more... not even close
#64 to #59 - N. Korean citizen (11/14/2012) [-]
Actually, it isn't objectively better. In a lot of areas, it's objectively worse than most android phones, and costs more. They only sell more because of apple fanboys. A large portion of the price is because of the brand.
#58 - ninian (11/14/2012) [-]
I don't care about Apple nor any other cellphone bullshit. To me it's just another foolish way of stirring trouble and creating "gangs", so to say.
User avatar #57 - Snookbone ONLINE (11/14/2012) [-]
Right, so if I want all that stuff my options are:

1. Buy 6 or so other phones and somehow mash them together with programming and shit so it does all that.
2. Buy an iPhone.

1 sounds more fun to attempt, I must admit.
#102 to #57 - calibratuner (11/14/2012) [-]
Plenty of th e phones on the market have the same features as above, and do more, like the galaxy sIII or the Note II.

Note II being far superior to the iphone.
Even with its large screen, and bluetooth, and gps, and wifi ON, my batter lasts me easily all day, even on the enormous screen, with the fast CPU and double capacity RAM.

Few things Iphone does not have?\
NFC. Which is awesome when you get some tags or want to pair two phones with NFC.
Awesome Interface with widgets that perform like mini programs.
Multiple Programs at once, like one app on the upper portion of the screen like emails, and text messaging at the bottom portion.
PiP, i can watch a movie or show while surfing the web....

Fuck iphones.
User avatar #184 to #102 - Snookbone ONLINE (11/15/2012) [-]
Yeah. OK. Just trying to be humourous I guess. I don't actually have an iPhone. They're too expensive for what they are.
User avatar #72 to #57 - boogihead (11/14/2012) [-]
Or a galaxy III.
:/
User avatar #185 to #72 - Snookbone ONLINE (11/15/2012) [-]
Yeah. They are better, I agree.

The hate for Apple is more of a bandwagon thing, isn't it? I mean, if you think about it, every idea has been stolen at some point at another. But what if, while developing the iPhone, for example, they never knew about the Sony Ericsson sliding feature?

If you learn about the history of the telephone, you would know two people actually invented it at about the same time. The difference is Alexander Graham Bell went to the patent office earlier than Elisha Grey. Maybe for some of the features they didn't know and just thought it was a great idea.

Or maybe they thought all of those products are shit and they are going to make it better. Admit it, after the iPhone came, there was suddenly dozens of comparable smartphones and touchscreens in the market. It changed the game. Remember, it redefined what people think they can do on a phone. They can do things they never thought they could or wanted. But well, the iPhone makes people think, "Wow, that is awesome! I could really find a use for that!" Same with the iPod. Made the CD Walkman obsolete.

Plus, Apple is amazing at marketing. Changed what people think about themselves. Made them think if they have the new Apple product, they are a better person. Maybe the same kind of marketing doesn't work as well today anymore. But back then, wow, people were amazed! Plus, a touchscreen phone! It's easy to use, compared to the Blackberrys and big chunky Nokias at that time.

Of course, all this equals Apple raising their prices because people think of them as better products, so justifying the higher price, plus if people still buys them, why not? They're still a company after all. They are not stupid. We're the stupid ones here. They sought to make money through mass appeal of their products, and right now, everyone hates them for being very successful.

The problem is that they are suing other, rival, companies over "stealing" the features that are listed in here as not even being Apple's to begin with. They actually won the lawsuit in court against Samsung. So they are suing people for stealing ideas and winning even though they weren't really their ideas.
#104 to #69 - calibratuner (11/14/2012) [-]
Keep watching the Samsung case, because they haven't technically "won" yet.

In fact the ban on samsung sales has been removed.

I actually celebrated when Steve Jobs died, opened a beer and destroyed my roommates old iPod. I was actually genuinely happy that that motherfucker died. Fuck you Steve Jobs!!! I hope you rot in hell for creating the Apple Fags!!!
User avatar #79 to #51 - jonaskram (11/14/2012) [-]
Alright, I don't really care how you live your life, but let me ask you if that's really true? I mean, hating a person because of the fanboys the product has created? That's like me hating Gabe Newell and be happy if he dies because the TF2 fags get on my nerves. I dunno, it just seems a bit excessive to me to actually celebrate their deaths.

Seriously, I don't care. I don't have an iphone, but why do people vehemently hate apple?

Because they steal ideas then claim that they're their own!

No, the answer is because some people are complaining about them stealing ideas and now everybody on the internet wants to jump on the bandwagon.

Don't like apple? Don't buy their products, that simple.
#105 to #43 - calibratuner (11/14/2012) [-]
I dont like apple and hate them.

And yes, i do not buy apple, i do not own a single apple product, and will not.
User avatar #55 to #43 - pipedt (11/14/2012) [-]
I hate apple for their stupid publicity campaign that wants to make you feel bad because you don't use their over valuated, hyper expensive, good for nothing products

I'm just wondering, but was the iPhone the first to have all of those features though? I'm not an iFag btw :P
