How Apple is undeniably becoming more like Android

That’s Apple’s strategy. They always win $$$. I love Apple. Take all my money! $hi+

embrace torrent hehehe un na lng kulang IMO

HTC and not Samsung is the first to launch a phablet. People’s taste change. Sakto naman na magaling din marketing ng Samsung nung nirelease nila ang phablets nila.. Konting research author.

Oh, by the way iOS will never be Android because Anroid is Google’s Trojan Horse to make business out of each and every Android users.

Scenario 1: When every other competitor almost gave up in competing with the 9.7-inch iPad, the industry started going for tablets near the size of 7-inches – and they were a hit. Apple, seeing this opportunity, enters the market with the iPad Mini.

–> Apple is a genius in keeping their product line simple, and once it gains traction, only will they release something for variety. This way, R&D and production is tighter to keep production cost lower and profits higher. They’re still in a business, remember?

Scenario 2: Probably aiming to see the profitability of a plastic phone with colors ala Samsung & ala Nokia, Apple recreated the iPhone 5 in the form of the iPhone 5C.

–> They had been doing colors since the time of the iPod mini, and this was all before smartphones came along. I don’t think anyone has an exclusivity with using colors.

Scenario 3: iOS’ redesign on version 7 included a lot of elements from various operating systems. This video points it out.

–> iOS didn’t come out as perfect from day 1. As it is possible iOS had adapted similar elements from Android to improve the user interface, but think of who BLATANTLY copied mostly the iOS interface initially.

Scenario 4: The latest version of iOS, iOS 8, becomes more open with better notifications, widgets and third-party keyboards.

–> widgets had already been in MAC OS since Tiger. As what Steve Jobs said in the beginning, iPhone OS is in its heart based on strong UNIX standards similar to the Mac OS.

Scenario 5: Following the trend of extremely large phones started by Samsung, Apple then decides to release two iPhone 6 devices – one having a 5.5-inch display, more software enhancements, OIS and a different screen resolution.

–> improvement in software and changes in size. iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, iPod shuffle anyone? Also, Apple does not just increase the screen size for the sake of it, Apple makes sure that the interface and usage adapts to the size, and not just stretching everything to make it bigger, with what Android did.

Scenario 6: Smartwatches have been gaining traction since last year, and once again it’s only now that Apple follows suit with the Apple Watch.

–> it takes a long time to do R&D to make a new product. What Apple does is they pace themselves, think about things 100 times first before releasing the product. What Android manufacturers do are they make a half baked product and bring it out to the market, just to say, “Hey! We were first!” It’s an evolution…. first music.. then the phone, then the tablet… wearables I guess would be next. After these watches, I’m sure there might be head gears, rings, pens, earrings or maybe even actual holograms coming out from t-shirts as the next thing in technology.

That defines Economics.

But if other companies tries to copy apple, apple sues them.

jeez you sheep… Just read the document. Stop lying to yourselves and just say “Thank you Apple” for showing us step by step how to do it.

Read the document! http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/8/3227289/samsung-apple-ux-ui-interface-improvement

Android is open and can jump ahead and release SOME new features faster (but they are arguably less polished than what Apple releases in its own time). Just say thank you.

Enjoy your Android, but stop lying to yourself. Read the document. It is an attempted clone that owes its existence to the iphone 1.

Saying apple copied “screen size” … Do you know how dumb that sounds? Screen size?? Ok fine. Thanks for having all your copycat phones try different size displays so Apple can get some free market research to know what consumers are trending toward. I can’t imagine they would ever think to change the size of the screen on their own.

Read the document… All 132 pages, and be enlightened… And then just say “thank you Apple”.

Eh tanginang yugatech para to eh pagkumpara ba naman ang Apple at Android gago ba kayo? Hoy BOB Freking shit ka, wag ka na mag sulat dito sa Yugatech tang ina ka ass hole!

what apple does is refine what’s already out. those who say apple invented the touchscreen gui for smartphones and android copied it are wrong. there already were touchscreen smartphones before that were making use of icons for apps on homescreen, apple just refined the implementation by having everything represented by icons on springboard. yes, android did copy ios’ interface as the former was designed to have physical keyboards, still though it is undeniable that ios is now copying other oses BUT is trying to refine its own implementation. those who say that apple worked out some features in other forms before, like plastic and colors on ipods and widgets on mac os, please note that the author was talking about iOS devices. bottomline is cook’s apple is not taking any chances anymore compared to job’s, the new business model is to let others innovate first then copy what works in a refined way. both apple and and android oems are on this for the profit, no doubt about that, but cook’s apple is more on making sure those profit margins keep rising for the sake of its shareholders and not for creating new ideas for the market.

WHY are we BASHING on APPLE? WE should be bashing on BOB FREAKING for his lame and biased post just because he loves his nexus phone too much. LOL

Hahaha. Laugh trip ako sa mga reaction ng mga iOS users. Ang daming nasaktan. Truth hurts.
Very good Bob!

Apple’s got good strategy and they are open to changes. We, as consumers should be proud that they are reinventing and innovating their products for our convenience.

wala naman problema kung magbigay ng comment regarding sa article.. if may mga point na hindi kayo sang ayon then just point it out. di ko ma-gets kung bkit kailangan magmura or personalin yung author. ganun na ba ka dense ang mga tao ngaun? okay lng mag asal walang hiya para lng sa phone? di nman kayo yayaman kung ipag tangol nyo ang favorite phone nyo.

its like comparing toyota to honda.

even though iphone is introducing new stuff that android already has and has been releasing new products that android phones already been selling, the best thing that apple does is that they implement these things, in the best way that apple does (form factor, best software/hardware integration, apps ecosystem) so yeah there it goes and that explains the prices too. (Android power-user here and windows phones are truly a thing of beauty :)
