Anyone else eager to LAUGH at what apple has to offer Sept 12th?

[monkeyluis]

Apple thought it would kill flash and increase the adoption of HTML 5.

this hasn't happened nearly as quickly as anyone would hope. Apple hasn't been able to make it rain on this one.

Uh. Wrong. I haven't used flash in years. HTML 5 is way up there in use on most major sites.

Not all ape people are isheep but all isheep are apple people. It is just a fact

Wow apple is so original new features include 5 rows for apps, a black status bar, two toned design, and a panorama feature for the camera.

Hmm where have I seen all of these before?

That is one thing I am really pissed about... NFC. You have to admit with the 20 million iphone that will hit the street, a lot more places would start taking nfc payments. Googs kind pooched it with wallet and now it is going to be left up to others to fix.

And last I checked, Adobe decided to kill mobile Flash.

... Seriously? YouTube videos are not in flash for the majority of users. And adobe killed off mobile flash, thanks to not having access to one of the biggest mobile manufacturers.

They put a hit out on it, but it is far from dead. It will take years for it to go away.

People are going to have to get over the fact that Adobe ended development and wants it to die on mobile. Of course, it's not completely dead yet but Adobe has killed it on mobile. That doesn't bode well for the future of Flash. It's time to move on.

What's ironic (kinda funny) is that CNET - the biggest Apple brown noser - is using Flash for their videos. Certainly CNET is a major site.

We could also laugh at all the minimal android upgrades. Dx, dx2, razr, razr maxx, razr HD, razr maxx hd. They are all phone companies and all do the same exact thing. Not matter what the iPhone came with or what was upgraded it would have sold millions. I'll bet it could have been the exact same as the 4s but with a bigger screen and still would have sold 10's of millions of units. Just like some companies moto in particular does the same thing. Its all about the money

Reason why I would laugh at the iPhone 5? This:

"This is unlike anything we or anyone else in our industry has made before." - Phil Schiller

And this:

"I don't think the level of invention has been matched by anything we've ever done." - Bob Mansfield

Thats quotes from Apple execs. I dont think any Android manufacture ever made claims like that. Most of the features on the iPhone 5 has been out since 2010, 2011....when ppl make claims like this....that makes the iPhone 5 funny. Seems like some Apple execs cater to the mis informed and the fanboys.

I would think if a company released one phone a year.....couldnt they out do everyone else as far as innovation? Or do better?

"This is the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since the iPhone." - Tim Cook

At least Cook was more realistic, honest. I also said this the other day....Apple makes it easy for ppl to make fun of them. Especially when you have execs sounding like fanboys. Also its laughable because of this:

http://news.yahoo.com/iphone-5-verizon-wireless-won-t-support-simultaneous-221501190.html

So....an LTE phone that cant do like every other LTE phone? Interesting.....lol. See.....not hard to laugh at the 5. Maybe it can still do it over 3G. As more days go by after its announcement...I just shake my head...

To be fair...my Rezound has some dumb proprietary charging cable. HTC dropped the ball on that one. But...I can still cables that came with my RAZR, G Nex, Droid 1, Droid X1, etc on the Rezound. I just cant use the Rezound cable with other phones.

So we could say that about a lot of phone companies making minimal upgrades just to get more money out of the consumer. But everyone here gets mad if u call out something wrong with android. Anyone who thinks apple or android is perfect is blind. They all have their pros ans cons. They are suited for different ppl who need different things out of their phone.

Its an Android site.....what do you expect. ....lol. Go to an Apple site and see what happens. As a Skins fan......see what would happen if I went to a Cowboys site and started talking up the Skins and down the Boys...

Like I said in that post.....I dont think any Android manufacture ever made claims like those 2 Apple execs. Thats the difference. And thats what makes it funny. You cannot deny what those 2 execs said isnt head scratching.

Android or Apple isnt perfect..no phone or OS is. Been saying that the past few years...at the same time....Apple, the iPhone gets put on too high of a pedestal ....IMO. And Android, the phone manufactures isnt given enough credit. ....IMO.

I just try to be realistic when it comes to Apple..and Android....and it seems some ppl take offense when it comes to Apple. Like some take offense when it comes to Android.

It is what it is....

You know what the funniest part is? Go check some of the iSheep comments on CNET and such... They are now claiming that this was a good move by Apple because in the future VZ will switch to VIP (remember the Flash argument, LOL). What about _NOW_? I saw one comment which amazingly enough said that Apple is the first one to do this (innovated) and all other manufactures will _COPY_ Apple by removing the extra LTE antenna when VIP is introduced and copying Apple's "chip"... clearly clueless.
In cases like this I'm simply left speechless and shocked.

I'm sorry but I've been reading Apple/Android debates for a while now and I have never seen so many brainwashed loyalists. Apple is a genius at marketing. They created an iSheep culture that finds "innovation" in everything that Apple does, even if it's clearly an inferior feature.

Marketing is a big factor in selling products, even if the product isn't that great, because that is what drags people into their product.
Not everyone actually reads reviews, comparisons, messageboards to find out for themselves which is better for them.

Apple set the standard and they continue to raise the bar. YES, iOS is stale and closed

Im sorry but i had to laugh a bit at that part of your post. I'm naturally biased against Apple but i agree that choice is nice. However if Apple were still raising the bar iOS wouldn't be stale now would it?

Agreed! I've said this before in these forums. We should consider ourselves, well informed citizens that don't follow the status quo and influenced solely on marketing.

Dude that HTC cable is really good... You can't use the cable itself for other devices but it was designed to stay put when it's plugged in. You can still use any other micro usb with the rebound too.

Ironic. The same "better than you" attitude you knock Apple users for is on display right here.
