Director is obviously a fanboy, or like poppygt said, Apple paid them or gave the studios free products to feature their brand in the movie.
Ill personally boycott the movie.
It's called product placement and they have to pay for it. Kind of like sneeking a commercial into a movie.

Well...Which android you wanted to see? Eclaire,Foyo,GB,ICS? Have you seen the recent horrible videos of ICS on International SGS2? If I were to decide I would have suggested using IOS in that movie too. Unless Google puts their foot down and controls how much hardware manufacturer can control Android, its going to happen. What did they do with Nexus!!! when everyone is going with 8MB Camera, Google's phone reduces it to 5MB. No wonder Steve Jobs always defeated these guys, even after all these years, they still do not learn.I hate IOS and I think I will always have to stay with the #2 phone OS, because for an other 10 years , I do not see android officially becoming numero uno.
Where has OP been for the past 10 years?
Product placement is all over the place, do you think people drink coke or pepsi in a movie instead of "cola" by chance? It is just a way for Apple to advertise, this is done in TV shows too, just look at "The Office" with HP.

Why wouldn't you watch a good movie just because they decided to use apple products? That's just silly fanboyism.
To be fair, being anti-Apple is not really fanboyism anymore. Apple is being seriously anti-competitive and attempting to control markets for their products by illegitimately suing others out of said markets. By supporting Apple, you're supporting a horrible way to do business.
That said, I'm still going to see it. Do the phones self destruct after giving the IMF people assignments? Or is that left to a few 1st gen ipod nanos?

Apple gave their competition a golden opportunity. If I had an iPhone 4 I would not walk out of a store using an upgrade on a phone that looks identical and basically is identical (OK don't flame but an upgraded camera and CPU/gpu isn't worth an upgrade)

One of the metrics we are scored on is return rate. I've yet to return an iPhone for anything but a more expensive iPhone. I have definitely returned android devices (including the epic touch) for iPhones. I will give someone a fair discussion on whether they are really getting the right phone without resorting to android snobbery, but I ultimately have to look out for me and not get things returned.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Unless I get an Apple diehard with nothing but Apple products I can usually flop them to Android. More specifically the Epic Touch. Larger screen, expandable memory and showing them mine running all the rooted goodies. Plus, a lot of people don't like that you have to use iTunes.

We can't just sell the phone off, because it's defective and that would be considering scamming. I would love to get a refund or exchange but we are unable to do so even within warranty, as this problem "does not exist."

That defense worked for Microsoft when Apple tried to sue them over the icon interface. Microsoft claimed the icon interface came from Xerox. Apple eventually dropped the case.
Also, this is far from over. Samsung will definitely appeal. There are plenty of reasons for possibly winning under appeal.

The main reason for Apple go againist Samsung is Samsung is an important supplier for making apple products especially iphone. If you check history of Samsung phones model, they never have similar model until iphone 3g started to rise of global sales. Samsung then release products like instinct. I worked for a Canadian carrier and I remember Samsung was pushing hard with the Instinct model and had trainings and incentive for sales. Its normal to see competitors being copy cat because its all about money. But samsung was doing it too much. Remeber the smart cover incident? Galaxy tab 10.1 was launched with the same design of Apple smart cover and it was the relatives of the Boss of Samsung who made it. They had to pull away this product line right away. If Apple is a person and that is you. And your buddy Samsung is part of the supplier of your products which you spend a lot of times and energy to design. And one day he created similar product lines and make money from it and dont admit he is copying. So what would you do?
Just my thought, im not a fan of Apple or Samsung. Don't care. Whoever makes cool products and feed my lifestyle, I will buy and use it.

Did you REALLY use that meme incorrectly?
whyyy
all companies are going to branch out into markets that they are already connected to through competition. apple really hasn't ever invented anything, they've just been extremely good at marketing. it has nothing to do with which phone is better, because there is a user for every phone, it just depends on what you're looking for. i was talking to a girl today who has an iphone and she was like holy **** your phone looks awesome. i showed her all the cool **** i can do on it that she can't on hers, and well... she wasn't impressed at all. she didn't care about rooting, she didn't care about custom keyboards, themes, etc... all she cared about was how nice the screen was, that it was bigger, and that it multitasked better, which is something that apple needs to work on and they know it. so yeah... at least the iphone can copy and paste now!

I like how 5 posts are all off-topic. lol!
But I agree with OP. Apple's finally realizing they've lost their superiority in the Smartphone world and trying to continue its dominance in the market industry by trying different markets.

Gestures have taken over my life. I can never have a phone without gesture recognition as well implemented as this one.

I have a friend who is a apple fanboy. He asked me to explain to him why Android is better than Apple. Spent an hour telling him what Android can do compared to apple. At the end, he's still stupid.

Ya i saw the lil bit on abc i thought it was freaking funny as hell! "We love competition because it gives us new ideas to call our own" Is what he was really saying... Trying to say we will build one mac in the US... come on apple show us one thing you you actually invented and not just improved on.... LOL
I theorize that apple is just were they want to be. They have their little garden and their fruit too. People are and will be sucked in. I wantedbabtablet 2 years ago but got an itouch. This was very important because I had a phone at the time that had simmilar specs yet slower than molases ona flat table in alaska! People who adopted android early on went to apple because they were fed up with bugs, slowness and the fact they werent really good. Today, this just is NOT the case but people still distrust android even in its late stage. The apple garden offers all their "speed" at a price. You buy all apple and your stuck with it, Cause its so damn expensive! Comparing android to ios is pointless in the wprld of today because the gap has been filled in with cement. I stayed with android after playong in webos and ios. Android won because I saw the potential as the specs just got more and more ridiculus and the battery finally decent enough to have a phone thats useable. If you look back at apples history you can see steve jobs saved the company. So apple being worried is plausable yet highly implausible. Theyve sols too many things to come close to finacial woes. They need an apple tv because people wanted one. So once everyones convinced they arent gonna make one, we'll see one.

Erm? Apple already has made TVs lol. And monitors for their computers. The only reason apple has so much more money and net worth is because they make 10 times the products android does.. Androids an operating system. Apple is a wide variety of electronics and software unfortunately..
I wish Apple and Android just battle it out old west style. Biggest gun (features) wins. Bringing the law into it seems tasteless. Just let the better device speak for itself.

"Apple, intellectual property thieves hiding behind intellectual property laws" They patent open source software then claim they "invented" it, and then sue anyone else who uses it. If they were really so innovative they wouldn't need to sue every company that one ups them, they'd just invent something better.
