Bevista: Os x is not touch friendly. Why do you think windows has been failing on tablets, leading to windows 10? iOS was designed for mobile, and with the rapid advancement in ARM 64bit chip designs and faster RAM, pretty soon you'll be able to use all your apps on tablets in a productivity environment. You dont absolutely need an intel chip or desktop OS to get work done, not with cloud computing making inroads. I agree Surface us great, only as a laptop. It doesntcome near Android or iOS for user friendliness or touch based user experience. |

AAinEqGuinea: Why shoudlnt they be proud? We allowed our expectations of Apple to soar beyond belief, thinking we'd get magical new devices at each Apple event. That is strictly the fault of bloggers, the media, and fans who pore over every rumor, fantasy, wishlist, leak, renders, and fan art. We all know since 2009 that Apple refreshes their mobile hardware every year, with significant upgrades coming once every 2 years. Releasing a brand new flagship every year deteriorates sales and confuses the heck out of peoiple (See Sony and samsung). It's far better to maximize sales until they taper off before releasing a completely new device just in time for when those contracts were up at the end of 2 years. We know the "S" release cycle every year, so maybe we shoiuld lower our expectations. , Apple spends considerably more money on R & D than any other tech outfit. there's a whole slew of advanced prototypes in their labs. So do samsung, Sony etc. But most of these prototypes cannot conceivably be brought to market soon when the technologies are too complex, imperfect, or costly to make commercial sense. Also, what severely limits innovation is battery life: Even the Sony Z5 Premium is 4K UHD only some of the time, reverting back to 1080p in most use cases (see one of my posts above). AAinEqGuinea: His genius was not borne of his ego. His intuition and zen-like quest for simplicity made for many great products. AAinEqGuinea: You know, Apple kind of did. They were first to bring in a successful Personal Computer into the home, first to use TVs to output data, color, innovated GUI and mouse on computers (after Xerox failed to usher it forward), USB, Firewire, Text To Speech, Killed FDD, created the first AIO, fonts, made Bill Gates famous, helped put Adobe on the map, click wheel, multitouch, etc etc. AAinEqGuinea: Flash deserved to die a horrible death. And it did, thank god. Even Adobe admitted flash was a POS. AAinEqGuinea: That's debatable. In any case, like i said somewhere above, i'd think a 64bit ARM-based CPU is pretty innovative, as is Force Touch, or a fanless Macbook and its unbelievably small logic board, as is terraced battery in sheets, or the new rotund Mac Pro, or the 5k on the iMac, or lightning, or USB C (which Apple helped with), or Touch ID, or True Tone Flash. AAinEqGuinea: examples? we shouldnt expect Apple to keep inventing whole new product categories every year just to assuage our own bloated expectations. What i expect Apple as a business to do is enter existing markets, and then innovate within that market. This is what essentially they do, and they're quite successful at it: Payments, wearables, mobile phones, etc. AAinEqGuinea: True. But.....steve has been wrong before. Remember when he dissed big screen phones? Well, the iphone 6 and 6 plus are the best selling iphones ever. And sure he made nonsense of styluses (stylii?) but now it's quite apparent with bigger screen real estate styluses are needed not to replace touch, but to augment it in certain use cases. AAinEqGuinea: Yep. No the first time too. See WWDC 1997, when gates himself loomed large over steve jobs Shoudn't you be more shocked seeing Adobe onstage? Besides, Google is now the common enemy. AAinEqGuinea: i swear i've no idea what this means AAinEqGuinea: Yep. And so far it's working well for them, making killer profits more than the rest of the industry COMBINED. AAinEqGuinea: The ripping has been mutual. In any case, Apple was first with the whole form factor and multitouch thingy back in 2007 before Android changed tracks from a Blackberry-esque ripoff to an iOS ripoff in 2008, with the G1. Then Apple created a new category (or rejigged an existing one, if you so prefer) with the iPad and then all of a sudden samsung began its Galaxy quest with an endless strings of clones and copies. AAinEqGuinea: True, but the blame lies squarely with Ballmer. At least i like the way Nadella is going. If you fail in the mobile space, move to the cloud. Office 365 and Azure are doing pretty well, so maybe Google and Amazon might soon begin to have sleepless nights! AAinEqGuinea: I miss the man too, but i fear were he alive, with his sometimes tunnel vision, Apple might have stuck to churning out 3.5 inch screens and thus gone to the dogs. Thanks for reading!!!! phew! this is so cathartic, after insulting certain tribes on Nairaland. PS: I'm about to start my own blog on tech stuff within the local context, and thus need some encouragement. I also need contributors, commenters, critics, and pals. Anyone who's game please let me know. 5 Likes |

martineverest: sigh. you're hopelessly recycling the same old mantra of Gates saving Apple with a measly $140m or so. but before all that gates was a nobody until he met steve jobs. windows would not have happened without the mac os. martineverest: yes it is, and if you dont know then you;ve no business in tech. No knowlegeble person would even consider comparing a Unix-like operating system with Windows in whatever way. martineverest: No Mac users; Windows users who just bought a Mac. martineverest: No one says Windows is completely useless. There are times one needs to use Windows, hence the bootcamp support. If Macs come with Windows preinstalled, then you may have a point. Besides, i also dualboot Linux: so what? martineverest: this is you being sneaky. Windows has a larger install base, so windows users upgrading in droves means nothing comparatively with OS X. If even 1/10th of the windows 10 install base was coming from OS X, then you might an argument. It's funny that apple with its fewer users makes more profit bthan the entire pC industry, and Apple has been growing while PCs are declining. Why are PC sales falling? MOBILE DEVICES!! And guess who makes the most profits here? APPLE! martineverest: This is largely true, if one considers the dominance of windows. But Google is making inroads and that's why MS went to the cloud with Office 365. Only a matter of time..... martineverest: You're comparing apples to oranges. MS Office = productivity suite; linux = OS; Chromebook = cloud- oriented hardware. But i know what you mean. But i would argue that linux is not very strong in the enterpriser USER environment due to complexity; Chrome OS due to security. However it's funny that most servers in the enterprise and the cloud run off linux, or FOSS apps like APACHE! And no matter what, for now, Apple remains the most valuable company in the world, the most profitable and biggest tech firm. 1 Like |

It wasnt the $150m dat saved apple but microsoft intellectual property(patent). FYI,both gate and job rlationship was symbiotic.apple went bankruptd when gate refused to supply mac office and other service,making mac useless.samething happnd to IBM dat made dem back out of pc industry.. U and i know dat google's dorminance ll be shortlived.dont 4get android is built under microsoft patents,which make android oems pay $5 to 15 to microsoft on every device sold.dont also 4get dat smartfones and tablet sale are decling while windows 2-in-1 sales are increasing.thus,ending the post pc speculation.westerners av noticed dat ARM-based devices are more of consumer base,rada than being productive.the world is gradually returning to x86 devices dats result to success of surface tablets and fall of ipads.iphones is next. iwould like u to answer diz question,Y DID APPLE REFUSE TO MAKE OSX THE OS OF IPAD PRO?.dont also 4get dat d new 'apple pencil' and torch cover are part of microsoft patents |

Apple spend more time money on R &.apple and google are not even in top 10 R& companies,neither are dey in top 10 on the most innovative companies list...IBM,sony,samsung and microsoft lead R& |
Re: iPhone 6s And iPad Pro Announced by ExInferis(m): 8:29am On Sep 11, 2015 |
martineverest: actually among the top 10 are Volkswagen at number 1, samsung, intel google etc. BUT. these companies are virtually conglomerates, or have hundreds of product lines. Apple has a few, so within the context of spending ONLY on mobile devices, i think Apple spends more. look at the attached chart; at the point of developing the Apple Watch the company was spending about $8b dollars with only the Macs, iPhones, iPods, iPads etc as products. volkswagen is the biggest car maker with a range of models and brands; samsung is a conglomerate with interests in devices, chemicals, heavy industries, fabs, financial services etc. Google has a range of products and projects in its X Labs from Fiber, Loon, Car, VR, browser, OS, Android, Glass, and many other quirky stuff. So yes in global tech spending, Apple is a small player. But in mobile devices they;re quite huge. 1 Like

Intel,samsung and microsoft spend more money on research dan any oda companies.get ur fact right ExInferis: |
Re: iPhone 6s And iPad Pro Announced by ExInferis(m): 9:45am On Sep 11, 2015 |
martineverest: Research, yes. No arguments on that. But we were talking mobile devices. On that field in R and D Apple is quite spendy and innovative. Let's review the innovations, shall we? Hardware 1. Gorilla glass. Apple helped Corning revive the strengthened glass business. 2. Six degrees of freedom sensors via accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers. 3. Proximity Sensing 4. Retina display 5. Glass panel on back 6. Pentaband antenna integrated into the frame 7. Liquid metal components 8. sealed battery 9. Touch ID 10. 3D Touch 11. Taptic Engine What then followed were a string of companies, the most visible of which is samsung, that suddenly began copying everything the iphone did and is doing and claim to be original. What were samsung phones like before the iphone? What was android like before iphone? see the attached images: Pic 1 was the original android prototype, the Sooner, running the very first android. see how much it looks like a blackberry? Pic 2 shows the G1 and its icons and interface looking very much like the iphone Pic 3 shows the Galaxy S and how much it copied the iphone, leading to the lawsuit samsung was ordered to pay Apple for infringement Pic 4 Shows how the Galaxy S6 looks a lot like the iphone 6, including ripping off the Touch ID Sensor mechanics, and even the earpods. we can argue about this all day, and i dont even like Apple, but sometimes i get woried when people forget who started this recent mobile trend and accuse Apple of not innovating. every Android manufacturer competes on specs alone, while waiting for apple to release something new so they can all rip it off. everyone used to make fun of Apple's lack of sdcards, sealed battery etc. Now every OEM is copying these features, even samsung which was more vocal than the rest. Macbooks are cloned (HP Envy series, Asus zenbooks etc) with everyone going Unibody, Chiclet keyboard, wide glass multitouch touchpad etc. Oh, and Samsung Pay?! omg, how original. Just copy of Aplle Pay. they even stole the finger enrollment animation from Apple!! 1 Like
