Yet, Apple Watch came to market more than a year after Samsung brought theirs to market. In general, Apple trails other tech companies, in most ‘innovations’, even as they might release something to market which seems to not be in other non-Apple devices.
Apple recently ‘innovated’ by coming out with a “Pro” version of their iPad. Nobody had ever thought of a similar ‘pro’ tablet before. :-) Let’s not forget that, Apple was also the first smartphone maker to introduce larger screens t the smartphone space. They were also first with NFC technology for smartphones. They were also first with fingerprint ID, and soon, they’ll also be first with some sort of eye-print for user recognition, and they’ll also be first with a hybrid computer that does PC type work and tablet type work on one device.
Apple: the biggest ‘innovator’ with bringing old technology to their devices.
BTW, didn’t Apple also invent high-definition screes, 4k screens?
Come to think of it, without Apple, technology would still be in the stone-age, where everybody would be copying Moses with his idea for inscribing the ten commandments.
I hear Apple will also be inventing the driverless cars, and the infotainment systems in cars.
Apple: the god of tech, and the initiator of a ‘new religion’, called the Apple-cult.
Actually, the iMac was 5K, not 4K. . . and they sold the entire computer for the price of just a 5K MONITOR in the PC world. Get your snark right, Adorno.
Apple was also the first smartphone maker to introduce larger screens t(o) the smartphone space.
Please show me any smartphone in 2007 that had larger multi-touch screen than the 3.5" screen on the revolutionary Apple iPhone. Please.
They were also first with fingerprint ID
How about the FIRST that actually worked as an ID system, Adorno? I have a friend who had the Motorola with the fingerprint sensor. She had gone through all the trouble of training the sensor to her fingerprint. Nine times out of ten, it would not recognize her fingerprint to unlock the phone. . . but every time I tried it with MY thumb, which was NOT trained to me, it unlocked and opened the phone for me. Every time. So much for its usefulness as a security device. Apple's works and is not capable of being spoofed because it does not actually use the fingerprint. . . reading instead the ridges and valleys in the fat pads beneath the skin of the fingertip. The few claims of people who say they have been able to get it to use a "fingerprint" copy were actually reading their OWN finger ridges below the copy on their own iPhones, and their methods failed attempts at duplication by others or when used on an iPhone not owned by the tester.
I hear Apple will also be inventing the driverless cars, and the infotainment systems in cars.
Apple's CarPlay is already contracted to over 40 automobile makers and is installed in quite a few 2015 and 2016 car models using SIRI voice activation including Honda, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and Ferrari (starting in 2014 with the Ferrari FF). Sorry, you are late with this snark. I drove a rental car with CarPlay installed a week ago. Excellent.
