I just want to say Thank You to Apple for their continuous patents' suits, if you think that we will buy ourselves a ****ty iPhone, you're wrong. Even if every smartphone is banned, I'll rather buy a feature phone instead of a fuc*ing iPhone.
Seriously, this company is destroing innovation and technology. Patents system needs to be changed. Now a stupid patent is more important than an essential patent. WOW.

Destroying innovation? Was the iPod not innovative? What about when they came up with the original iPhone? And the iPad? Without them we wouldn't have our Androids. They popularized mp3 players, touch screen phones with minimal buttons, and tablets.
Sure, it's lame that they won the dispute, but they are definitely innovative.
We all know they're douches for the way they're handling it, stop crying and get over it.

There's a difference between being popular and innovative.
They are just popular, and whatever they do, becomes famous and an innovation. But it isn't.
Microsoft built the first tablet. And before the iPhone there were the Nokia smartphones. They just made them popular and said they invented that "innovative" product.
You're confusing innovation with invention. Apple are, without doubt, a very innovative company. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded.

The difference is that Apple isn't going to go directly after Google. Why? Because Google would stomp them out of existence. It's the same reason Microsoft has been going after the various manufacturers for Android lawsuits instead of Google.
Google has nearly endless funds and controls a huge amount of the content that all of the other manufacturers utilize. Going after them would mean a death sentence for their products, as well as a huge portion of their companies. If Apple sued Google over a patent Google would bring history to the table, which would leave Apple/Microsoft without options.
In effect, they'd have the ability to almost shut down production of iPhones and Windows Mobile phones in the United States.

It's not their fault. The patent suits are very tempting and they already own the "Slide to Unlock", don't they?
If Google got the patent for drop down notifications, or Samsung slide up to reject and send sms or HTC to slide to camera. and many many many others, I promise you, there wouldn't even be an iPhone 5.
They have been stealing ideas from Android for 2 years now. I even think that on the first day of the keynote, instead of announcing what's new with Android, they should have announced the new features in iOS 7, hahaha...
It's Google and the other companies faults. They didn't care about the patents but Apple was smarter than them. They even got the patent for "Slide to Unlock" after 2 or 3 years from the announcement. And the funny think, it was already in other phones.
Hope this turns out fine anyways...
This is why I don't own a single apple anything and never will, I had the original iPhone and a Mac mini and aio Mac desktop back so long ago in the mid 2000s and i will never purchase another apple product ever. When i walk by the big apple store in international plaza I just wanna go in and take a dump in the window display. Buncha greedy, self centered, monopolistic pricks is all they are. They don't deserve my money with their shiester tactics.

Yeah, apple must really be insecure about it's "innovation" to patent troll the competition like this.
The government should be telling apple to find something more productive to do with its lawyers.
Also, if I were Google I'd simply ignore the ban and keep selling directly. If that's an issue, fine I guess "ban" the use of Google voice in the USA and tell folks to complain to apple about it's trolling.
Seriously, this **** shouldn't be tolerated.

This is true, but apple is dicking around with a huge source of samsungs revenue and Samsung doesn't need apple to survive. If apple keeps playing with fire, they will burn their bridge and Samsung will use the mfg of crapples parts as leverage against them. And apple only attacks mfgs cuz they know Google will crush them in court. If or when (more likely when) the mfgs and Google team up against apple, apple will end up bankrupting themselves trying to sue a force much much bigger than them on the global scale. Just think what will happen if apple is forced to only sell in the US, they don't own global patents so Samsung, HTC, and Motorola can take them to court in other countries and shut them down

OK... I've seen douchery from Android users too... so don't be throwing stones in glass houses. It happens in every sector where there's two or more predominant or prevailing standards. People are people, and don't always consider that the opposite camp is full of people too.
As for what Apple's business practices, they've become more like corporate America and it's only this visible because it's become a clash of titans in the market. Patent lawsuits happen ALL THE TIME. It shows up more for us because we're swimming in the same waters as the players in the lawsuits.
All that being said, I have both. I love both for very different reasons and the pro's/con's comparison chart has polar opposites on most individual items with some overlap. But I'm not a fan boy of either since I put my douchery baton in the trash many years ago... we all should.

Its how they do buisness, the iPhone is good, youd be stupid to say its a heap of trash but its just their buissness style. Take this USA gnex ban they just pulled off on court, just cos they can't produce anything better they throw their toys out the pram instead and the fact the courts don't just say they are being childish annoys me.

I had an iPhone 4. To be honest I liked it a lot. But for an advanced user its so basic and restrictive its suffocating.
I agree. IPhone is a pick up and go device. A lot of people, even most Android users use the phones as they are. And to be honest the iPhone is more user friendly then Android. Which is good for people that aren't electronically inclined or older folk that want to stay up to date with modern technology without complexity. Same for people that buy dells or HPs. They want to pick it up and use it as it is. They don't care about updating software, drivers, firmware, hardware.

I used to own 2 iPods, 2 iPod Touch and still have the original iPhone somewhere in my house.
They really did make awesome products back then but then they just stopped trying and shift their attention to stop everyone else from trying to innovate.
We all know the core idea of innovation is to take an existing idea/concept and make it better.
I read somewhere on here last year or this year to date (forget which) they spent more on lawyers than on research and design and then claim to be an innovative company. Bollocks to that

Can't be soon enough in my mind. I really don't understand how Apple can get away with the stuff they do when Microsoft was sued for doing much much less.
Also with the whole Apple vs Samsung thing, if it wasn't for the Samsung's SoCs they used through the 3GS (and collaborated with for the A4), the iPhone wouldn't even be where it is today!
Heck, since Samsung manufactures the A4, A5, A5X for Apple, they should just tell Apple to f off and make their own damn chips.

If you refer to advertising and the great marketing, I agree with you, but Apple became kind of the new Nokia. If someone without a clue of technology asks me what phone they should buy, i hesitate to say Android, because it needs more effort and intelligence to set the phone up... But Nokia failed with their bad developement, so will Apple. Project Glass will whipe out smartphones & Apple
project glass?

I would have been inclined to agree with you 4 years ago...now, not so much. Android is painfully easy now. In fact, a lot of things are even easier than iOS until Apple steals more "innovations" from Android and Windows Phone for iOS 6.

- Apple - Innovation through litigation
- Apple iPhones - smartphones for dumb people
- An Apple product is like being at a great buffet but not being allowed to eat much
Some of the stuff I think to myself when I look at my buddy's 4S
Apple makes great products, they innovate and when they don't they compensate with their design, packaging, marketing and branding which is world class, appealing even sexy. Then they start dictating what you can and cannot do with their stuff, after you've paid a premium price for it, and that's where they lose me.
sammy shoulda have shown this video on court
Very nice, gotta love pointing out the obviously copied ideas. Just watch them try to patent the ideas now.
Thanks for sharing this.

So when will they patent software and method for showing notifications, with a pull down menu from a bar blah blah blah?

That's some funny stuff.. I couldn't watch the video because I was trying to catch all the one liners in the text. Lol

I'd have to disagree on this, My mom had no issues picking up a MyTouch 3g and using it. Only thing she had to get use to was using a touch screen and it took her all of 2 weeks to get use to using a touch screen. She easily setup a password, sync'd her contacts, added music, etc. and that was on android 1.6

Uuuuh, 2 huge things I can think of off the top of my head.
1. Only allowed to download Apple approved apps from the app store, no side loading.
2. Entire file system is not accessible by the user.
Just these two put up some huge barriers for people who want to do whatever they want with the hardware, and furthers the idea that they only let you do what they want you to do.
