-They certainly revolutionized it, I would not say they innovated.
-Including a different set of hardware is innovating now?
-They changed the phone market, not really major changes.
-Mac book air is pretty much just an advanced netbook IMO, sure they made more people adopt the concept, but it’s very similar.
-I’m sorry that my standards for what is considered innovation are higher than yours, but then again, I was born in the 90′s.
-;)
-iTunes match I can indeed agree with, pretty rad concept too.

I’m glad you replied and set a few things straight, again I will emphasize that my standards are pretty high, so I don’t count minor changes as innovation.

Comprehension. Innovating typically would be introducing massive changes or creating something entirely new. Most of what he mentioned was just Apple changing minor things and calling it innovation.

I was going off of introducing something new, didn’t know minor changes could count as innovation. Sorry my standards were set too high.

best design, camera and screen go to the iPhone without doubt. Motorola has the best signals and speakers. HTC has the best skin and Samsung has the best reproduction of Apple’s products.

in·no·vate [in-uh-veyt] Show IPA verb, -vat·ed, -vat·ing.
verb (used without object)1.to introduce something new; make changes in anything established.Hi is clearly a troll but Apple did innovate all the things he mentioned. You can prefer Android and at the same time not pretend like Apple didn’t innovate the market for thin laptops, personal computers, music, phones, tablets and even digital consumption of media in general. Don’t be the guy who ignores reality because you like Android. It makes Android look bad.

Sorry buddy, but just because I’m persistent in my point which differs from yours doesn’t mean that I’m a troll. And I can accept reason, maybe you can’t.

I’m just going to ignore you from now on, I can see from your past posts that you’re a troll and refuse to accept reason.

-they innovated in the tablet market with iPad. if you don’t see that well you are clueless
-How many netbooks come with i7s and SSD?
-they innovated the phone market, never mentioned Android. Why are you?
-Seeing trends and forcing those trends before anyone else in your industry is pretty much the definition of innovation
-again you seem to confuse “innovate” with invent. use a dictionary
-you agreed to next
-itunes match. music matching of your own ripped CDs or digital music which is then “matched” in iCloud and doesn’t require uploading. Unless of course the music is extremely obscure and not in the iTunes database which is something that only applies to a very, very, very, very small percentage of people or their songs.
Nice reply from you too bad it was either uninformed or lacking semantic meaning.

That is not a fact kind Sir, and it might be “common knowledge” to the circles you roll with, but it doesn’t make it a fact.

The fact is you know what I’m saying is true. You just don’t want to admit that it’s common knowledge from anyone familiar with current smart phones.

Still can’t debate your point without name calling, eh? Regardless…

It honestly doesn’t matter what any GENERAL majority say about anything, unless their opinions are based on facts. In this case, if different screens from different manufactures are to put an honest test (saying that two screens of an equal tier or level are the ones being compared) then that would weigh more into an opinion in my book, than a group of people who’s opinion aren’t based on something other than their baseless perceived knowledge. Saying that Motorola’s UI or screen is “terrible” in itself, means that the statement isn’t based on any facts, unless you’ve heard every professional opinion on the matter all state that the UI or screen is “terrible.” That is an obvious opinion. Now if you said that Moto’s UI is typically not preferred by Droid- Life users compared to stock Android for whatever reason, would be more of a fact based on recent polls. Now, taking what you said about experts in the field making comments after an honest, unbiased and technical comparison of devices, is a different case all together. I never said an expert’s PROFESSIONAL opinion didn’t matter.

Now you’re just being an idiot. If the majority say Motorla uses poor pentile screens, then yes they use poor pentile screens compared to other companies. When we’re talking about people who know what they’re talking about, then yes, their “opinion” matters.

If I ask an expert carpenter what’s the best wood to make a chair, his opinion is going to be factual because of the experience and knowledge.

Opinions when based on factual information are shared by the majority.
