so apparently there are these bunchful of gossips around regarding the upcoming releasse of what is known to be the 'iphone 5', in roughly 3 months or so...
although not being a strong supporter of apple gadgets myself, I would be interested to here what you guys think about this...
what are the chaces of the next iphone to be called something like the
iPhone 4G instead of iPhone5 ??
just my thought
have a nice day
I think they should call it the "iwill sue you if I can" or "infringe" or something like that....maybe "imaprick"
Sorry. Lost all respect for Apple in the last month.

Because rather than win back market share by improving their product, they've chosen to stiffle competition by using lawyers.
My question would be "how could you have any respect for apple in the first place?" considering what an awful company they are and how badly they treat their customers (as a company, not as customer facing staff).
In 1994 Steve Jobs closed down all philanthropic activities at apple to save money. Now they have "more money than the US gov" those activities still haven't been restarted.
People slate Bill Gates and microsoft, but they forget the Gates foundation gives more money to help aids victims in the developing world than the rest of the world combined.

Yup. He might be a pr1ck when it comes to business, but he pr1cks around well.
Steve Jobs used his money and resources to save his own life, and only AFTER experiencing the hell that was cancer did he even have the inkling to give a little to the community.
Gates, for all the evil that he started in Micro$oft, is planning to give away HALF of his worth. He's pushing for education and technology that will change the world, and I am almost ready to forgive him, and then somebody pointed out Windows Vista.
ADDENDUM: ROTFL, OT is really OT, I forgot to even mention the OP in my first post!
I would call the next iPhone, the iPhuckConsumersOverWhileTheyBendOverWillingly
"The IPoop"? It won't be worth a [email protected] just like the first four anyway!
+1 for Ipoop.
I suggest. ICrap 5.

Wow.
I'm starting to wonder if his health is getting worse.
Don't care
Sad to see. I just hope that his health gets better.
Just think how much their stock would have plummeted if they hadn't bottled it and suspended trading beforehand.
I'm thinking his cancer has returned and he's nearing the end.

I think Apple will be fine for the next few years. Good time to buy Apple stock.
The news is kind of sudden though, I hope Steve is okay.

Oh as a company they'll be fine, but last time he took ill their stock dropped a fair bit.
With him actually leaving it would have dropped considerably, therefore temporarily devaluing the company.
I hope he gets well also, cancer is a very..very tough battle.
Though I'm not a big fan of Apple products still sad to see this happen, the type of things Apple produced during his time there were amazing.
Hope he gets better.
As much as im not a fan of crapple i wish Steve nothing but the best. "Maybe patent wars will stop now??" says the troll. The answer is no...Steve was just a puppet leader....sort of like Manchuria in the 40-70's. The decisions were made by the legal team so i've got nothing against him.
I don't agree with the way he goes about business, but I never wish harm upon another human being. Hope if his resignation is related to his health issues that they make a turn for the better without the responsibilities that come with a position like he was holding... it's amazing how detrimental a high stress job can be to your health.
Certainly one of the most iconic businessmen of his age. Hats off to Steve.
Always saw him as the soul behind Apple.
dont care.. but hope he gets better
YAY! Apple is doomed
without Steve, Apple is not much of a competition
Apple is going to slowly fade into the background just like Windows Mobile did, and PalmOS, and WebOS and all other that came before it
I wonder what would be the next big OS to challenge Android after this.
Steve rescued Apple from the blink of bankruptcy... actually they did, but it was thanks to Microsoft they stayed afloat
so Steve introduced the coloured toiled looking iMacs, and that was a crazy hit, then it came the iPod, that scored them big time, with the introduction to iTunes, to make music downloading easy for n00bs
with the success of iPod the went beyond to develop iPod touch, which was Apple's pre-staging to launch iPhone, they used iPod touch to sort out all the bugs, and get things close to perfect before releasing iPod touch
that was another big score for Apple, at that time there was no much competition from either front for music / phones
Apple's finally launched the iPhone, and well the world went wild after that, and with the introduction later to the AppStore, things got even more exiting, still no competition at the time.
That's how Apple surfed the big waves, and kept racking in money when no body else had good stuff in the market.
back at those times Windows Mobile was ... better than crap, PalmOS was dying, if not done for already. WebOS was barely born, and Android was just a pre beta/alpha stage.
Steve excelled at marketing ideas and presentation, but none of it was fresh or new, he just made it look better.
Everything that Apple released was already existing in the market, just never popularized by any marketing team of any company.
That's the power of marketing
get everyone hyped up, and you get tons of sales, specially target the young audiences, and make everything hip.
that's a good lesson that Google learned well and applied to their products and brand.
Completely agree, besides their company policy is really NASTY, so even if their products may be cool I would never buy/buyed any fruit products.
Apple: Learn to make fare competition or you will fail soon!
Doomed? Stop playing with your Nexus and do your homework son Gizmodo is covering this pretty well:
- The Life Of Steve Jobs - So Far
- Why Steve Jobs Chose the Perfect Time to Resign
- Apple without Steve Jobs Scares the **** out of Wall Street (Updated)
I am not a fan on jobs business practices or ios, but he saved apple and I respect him for that. I hope this move allows him to recover from his ailments.

I really had nothing against apple until they started all these lawsuits. Now I have decided that apple is everything that's wrong with america, and Steve Jobs might be the antichrist (yes, I know he stepped down as CEO but that just frees him up for other douchery).
ive never liked their "my way or the highway attitude"...this patent war is just plain out of hand.

Funny thing is that was the Pandora guy saying Android was not a factor., but since then, both Pandora and last fm has had to upgrade their servers to accommodate the heavy traffic they were facing after their android app was launched ..
Goal in life was to make Steve Jobs resign and I WON!
The Patent System is full of bull****.

I am opposed to patent lawsuits due to it being a far too lax, broad, and generally bs system in the US as it concerns technology patents. But Apple deserves every lawsuit filed against. I have had something against Apple ever since they decided to make their company a cult of personality around Steve Jobs and Apple. They want to play holier than thou in court? Then they should put up with the other side rolling up their sleeves and fighting back.
Complaining about anticompetitiveness. PAH. They just forced Samsung to stop selling Galaxy Tabs entirely in Europe through bs patent fighting. Apple deserves every single case filed against it.

Actually Samsung won the cases in Europe, but the press twisted it to seem like a victory for apple ...

Even the one in German courts were won, the judge threw out all but one of the suits, patents for scrolling in the gallery app, was the only one that held up ... so Samsung was given time to fix it ..

R.I.P Mr Jobs,
Although we used to dislike you for your constant suing of samsung, we still appreciate and respect your contribution to the modern smartphone world, may you rest in peace.
well, the iphone 4s was a major disappointment...
i know, i know... too soon.
RIP Steve Jobs. I hate what Apple has become, but he did a lot for computing in his life.
OMG!
the Apple Stock prices are going to crumble
perhaps it was due the bad performance after seeing the release of the 4s
now Mr. Job has just been transferred to work for the big boss up there
may you RIP in peace knowing apple's fate before you departed
rip steve. you were a legend
Much as I dislike Apple, Steve was a visionary for the tech industry.
R.I.P Steve Jobs, you will be missed by everyone, even us iOS haters.
A sad day indeed....he had such a major influence in technology, especially these last 10 years.
I can't believe it's going to be this fast.
RIP Steve.

I know some retarded fanboy is going to be incredibly insensitive and celebrate this, but without Steve Jobs, none of the smartphones we use today would exist in the way they do now. The man pushed for aggressive innovation and you have to respect that, even if you don't respect Apple's corporate strategies.

that is pathetic -.-
Its just simple business, destroy the competition before they grow even stronger. This extends itself beyond phones to ipads, tablets and anything that competes with Apple.
After all Google acquired the developer of Android in 2005 and it was listed as distributed in 2007. Only until recently have Apple became very agressive in terms of suing and other lawsuits etc. Why? Because he realised just how much of a threat Android has become.
Windows could copy him, he woudnt have cared less but after all, last quarter of 2010 Android was listed as the best selling platform with over 190million Android devices to date.
Only makes sense for Apple to want to curb this growth although the reality is those who loves Apple products will never learn. They could release an iphone 5 with next to no new features and people will still go crazy and line up for days to buy it. They cant do any wrong but those Apple fans should be thanking the healthy competition Android provides because its due this competition that both platforms have lifted their game to out do eachother. SG2 is only as good as it is so it can sell agressively, its the only way potential Iphone owners will consider swapping and due to Android phones like this, Iphone have to provide more features to continue growing instead of crap like Iphone 4s which really is a pathetic upgrade (well not for Apple given how limited the Iphone 4 was) but in reality the features it offers is what many Android phones (LG, Motorolla, HTC, Samsung) have offered for a while.
Either way i dont mind Apple being popular, it forces Android phones to be even better so consumers win either way
I love android but He was good man
I think it's actually quite sad and pathetic the obsession he buiilt up about destroying Android, never mind fairytales about stealing it was all in his mind, he thought he was the main man and Apple were THE most advanced when it came to technology but couldn't hack it when Android came in and pulled the carpet from under him and Apple so decided to cry foul and accuse them of all sorts and issue patent after patent, that doesn't sound to me like a "technology genius" rather a bitter man who simply couldn't accept Apple were being brushed aside by Android.
Anyway this is probably for the general forum.
Just my two cents anyway.
I think he won't succeed.
Who cares what Steve MOD EDIT Jobs said, he was just a glorified marketing man. Apple is rotten to its core - a bit like Jobs now.
I think Larry Ellison will destroy Android for him.
I think that, without Steve Jobs, we wouldn't have these fancy android phones. There wouldn't be a dual-core 1.2ghz phone running an extremely customizable O.S without Apple creating the iPhone. But now there is.
Its called innovation. Company 1 makes a product that sells well. Company 2 "copies" them and creates a different and/or better product. Company 1 then releases an upgrade and tries to beat. Company 2's product. Its never ending and allows for products to improve at an extremely fast rate. That is, until company 1 sues everyone who improved upon their product and is now outselling them!

Was surprise in Steve's book about the bit on Gorilla glass. Was invented in the 60s but Corning couldn't find a use for it. The original iphone was suppose to have a plastic screen but Steve wanted it with glass instead. So his friend suggested he talk to Corning about it.
Corning haven't been making this stuff and Apple wanted this stuff in 6 months for the launch. They converted an lcd plant and got their best people to make the glass.
Apple should have taken out an exclusive license on it. Who knows maybe Steve thinks Andriod stole the glass too.

Apple does not like competition. That's nothing new.
He was only afraid because Android got so extremely popular by being the direct opposite of iOS. Open-source and not restrictive.
