First off, I apologise if this is the wrong place for this. Long story short, my dad (a salesman selling digital cameras) got retrenched a while back and just got hired by Sony. The company supposedly has apps that let their sales personnel input their sales figures, but they are Android-only...

I guess the question is, expensive relative to what? Apple is marketing their Apple Watch as a watch, not as a computer. When you consider that a decent watch out there already costs a few thousand dollars, the Apple Watch actually seems pretty fairly-priced by comparison. But the simplest...

Because I want one, and can afford one. It's not so much about needing one, but desiring one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

iCloud doesn't even save me any space. It basically mirrors the files already on my iPhone and iPad, such as my photos. For example, I may have 7 gb of photos in iCloud Photo Library, but that also represents 7 gb of photos in my iPhone and iPad. It's really more for the convenience than any...

I think the challenge has always been more of how to make these technologies suitable and relevant to consumers, and how to market it to them. Google glass is the best example. Cool tech, bad implementation, and at the end of the day, people just didn't care because they couldn't see how it...

I would argue that skinning android represents the lesser of two evils for OEMs. If every Android smartphone ran stock Android, it would be even more difficult for them to differentiate their offerings from one another.

Is it appropriate to critique about Material design as an iOS device user? It's not that bad looking, but it honestly doesn't fit in with the design of iOS 7 at all. [emoji14]

Why worry? Chances are, the various OEMs will just lay their skins right over it anyways.

Is there any reason not to save them? How much space do they even take up anyways?

That's also what constitutes the bulk of their profits. Samsung actually sold more phones this year. The problem is that the majority of these phones were cheaper models that earned them very little in profit. At the same time, way fewer people bought their flagship phones, which was where they...

Google and Apple will both win. OEMs will left fighting for table scraps.

Then can anyone here care to explain my observation from a few days ago? My friend was trying to show me a few photos on her Note 3 phone. It took 3 taps on the photos icon to bring her to the gallery. Then it took a very long time for the preview images to render. Scrolling through the photos...

It can go either way, IMO. Android is not without its fair share of drawbacks. In the very least, people would be able to make more informed decisions before purchasing a phone, but I disagree that more people will flock to android because of this. In the very least, this would hopefully stop...

It's more like blackberry realised they can't beat Apple and Android, so they have chosen to continue marketing to people who still want a physical keyboard on their phones. Basically making the best out of a very bad situation.

Or, if Apple goes on being Apple, we will never see points 3-7. It's not that Apple is behind in implementing them, it's that they have no plans to implement them at all because Apple feels it doesn't fit in with their vision of how a smartphone ought to look and work.
