Why people don't like the fact that Apple is using Android features in iOS 7

On Android, at least, they don't need to be optimized. They look as good on a tablet as on a phone.

I'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about controls and interface.
 
No, more like what I said.

No, my point is that an app should look even better on a tablet compared to a phone, not merely the same.

As a smartphone typically has a smaller display compared to a tablet, tradeoffs often have to be made in its UI (one such example being the numerous back buttons in the app as we scroll and swipe from one screen to another). Tradeoffs which we tolerate because we know no other better alternative yet exists.

These constraints don't exist on a tablet with a much larger screen. There is a lot more room for a different and better layout which should allow for a better user experience overall. People shouldn't have to contend with running the equivalent of blown-up phone apps on a tablet.

While it is true that IOS developers have to code twice (for iphone and again separately for the ipad), what Apple does is to release SDKs which make it fairly easy for them to do their job. And at the end of the day, consumers benefit because they are getting a much better quality of apps.
 
Really? You know what I meant. The same goes for those.

No it really doesn't. There are a lot of games whose controls were never meant to be used on a 9 or 10 inch tablet, and vice versa.

Just thought I'd like to add some fuel to the fire... As I see it has died down.

Some people just like to watch the world burn and I'm one of them.

You could at least try to use a graphic that's even a little accurate.

Incredibly hard to see that picture. What's accurate or not from it?

I've seen it before. Nothing on it is accurate. Just something some fandroid made to make themselves sleep better at night after apple sued Samsung.

Actually it is from ifunny. Not anything I threw together. Sorry about the resolution.

It all comes down to this.. Apple wants to be the only company on the market. They are afraid of competition, and whenever another company comes out with something better than them, they cry and litigate. But once again, they feel it is ok for them to steal ideas from other companies. And guess what... that is ok because sharing ideas is what creates competition. But don't you dare take Apple's ideas though....

Does Apple have the same case against every Android OEM?

No just the biggest ones.

Right. Only the ones that are a threat.

That's funny. In order of events. Assume every lawsuit triggers a counter suit.

2009: Nokia sues Apple.

2010:
Apple sues HTC.
Motorola sues Apple.
Microsoft threatens to sues everybody about file system patents, then sues Motorola over abusive practices.
Nokia, Apple, HTC, Motorola keep suing each other.

2011
Apple sues Samsung.

Yup, you guys are spot on.

That's called monopolization and apple has been at it almost as long as microsoft (although Microsoft has their tactic perfected). That's why I don't support them, they're almost as bad as the standard oil company from the early 1900's.
