What came first: the Android or iOS? - Dobreprogramy

since yesterday we know that Steve Jobs, recently deceased co-founder of Apple, for Android, lightly speaking, did not like. But only now has been presented Google’s position on the accusations, which is bombarded her mobile system.

Android Jobs has always accused the edgings of IOS. The recently published biography, we know that the former CEO of Apple was willing to clean your reserve funds ($ 40 billion!) And unleash a thermonuclear war, just to destroy Android. Android was in the eyes of a copy of the IOS Jobs, brazen fake, and Google in this case could only ape Apple’s designers ideas. Google has long refrained from comment out of respect for the deceased.

However, the right moment has come to the retort. As might be expected to Eric Schmidt, Google’s board member, rejects accusations of copying. His main argument is that Android simply in the world was before. The project was started in 2003 by Andy Rubin, and in 2005 together with the company was bought by Rubin Google. The first iPhone was shown to the world only two years later. When you release the first version of IOS (the system was still known as the iPhone OS) work on the Android was already well advanced. 5 November 2007 Android was unveiled to the public at a meeting of the Open Handset Alliance.

But the iPhone OS is not created in a month. It was impossible to Steve Jobs came to a head developer just before New Year and had secondments of people to project that on January 9, 2007 on his desk will provide the best system for the cell, which has so far created. Also hard to believe that the iPhone OS could arise as a reaction to the purchase of Android by Google. Considering how long Apple has a habit to work on new products (as we know, for example, with numerous leaks from factories), it seems quite likely to start work on the iPhone even before 2003. But none of this will not work and it should not be at the heart of the matter.

Consider to that adopted by Schmidt line of defense has a chance to refute the accusation Jobs, and whether these accusations were well founded at all. For now, Schmidt was able to politely avoid the issue, but it’s just pretend that peace is not an elephant. That is a difficult task, but let us remember what he looked like the system used by Google before the launch of iPhone prototypes and compare with what was on HTC Dream (known in Poland as Era G1) – the first smartphone with Android, which hit the shelves . Steve Jobs may have been partly right, because the development of Android over the 2006 and 2007 looks a bit like the BlackBerry iOS transformation.

On the other hand, it is widely known that Apple has also inspired by Google’s product, as evidenced by even a notification system in iOS fifth Resolve the dispute and determine wielofrontowego who is guilty and who is a victim of its own volition no court is not taken.

Apple vs. Samsung. The war goes on, but to live without each other can not - Money.pl

first time in the history of the Korean electronic giant has sold more smartphones than the Cupertino giant. However, between corporations takes place two fight scenes and dependent on each other enemies.

When he died on October 5 Apple founder Steve Jobs, the CEO of respect for him Samsung’s Choi Gee-sung moved the presentation of the latest Samsung smartphone – Galaxy Nexus. Despite this, Choi had also denounced the latest presented by Apple `s iPhone 4S defining it as disappointing .

politeness also showed the Samsung CEO Lee Jae-yong accepting the invitation to the funeral service dedicated Jobsowi at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California. However, the Korean took the opportunity to negotiate with Apple CEO Tim Cook renewal of contracts. However, the same day the head of the sector of mobile devices in the company Samsung, Shin Jong-kyun, announced in Hong Kong to tighten patent dispute with Apple. – It’s only the beginning Koreans boasted.

American and the Asian group are fighting with each other prior to 16 courts in 13 countries on four continents. Apple accuses Samsung that this blindly copied iPad. Meanwhile, Samsung claims that Apple infringes patents Koreans.

Yet both opponents can not function without each other almost. Apple and Samsung are mutually dependent on the good times and bad, but from quarter to quarter are becoming larger competitors. In the period from the face to September Samsung sold 28 million of its smartphones, followed by the first company Apple, which sold only 17 million iPhones.

– We Frenemies (friend and enemy) – said manager Kim Keun Samsung-bae in an interview with the weekly Wirtschaftswoche. Clearly Apple and Samsung are both friends and enemies. In the dispute about patents, both companies want to gain time, primarily to re-organize their relationships.

Why Apple sues Samsung exactly?

the one hand, Apple’s creative leader with its innovative products, which is now looking intensively subcontractors who will not be constituted such a threat as Samsung. On the other manufacturer of electronics and instant follower of Asia, who wants to finally qualify from the normal suppliers to the rank of Apple the manufacturer enjoying popular phones, computers and tablet PCs.

There’s a reason Apple is suing Samsung instead of the Taiwanese manufacturer HTC, or South Korean electronics maker LG Electronics, says Alvin Lim from the Fitch rating agency in Seoul.

nineties Apple Samsung supplies company in the relevant electronic components, without which there would be a best seller in California. According to the statement of Swiss bank UBS, the Koreans provide the latest iPhone 4S `a flash memory chips and DRAM, and designed specifically for Apple A5 processor – the most important element of the smartphone.

Apple is the most important customer Samsung

– Apple usually consists of more than one sub-contractors , says Jim McGregor, principal analyst of U.S. research firm In-Stat. The memory chips are also Apple supplies with Japanese manufacturer Elpida and Hynix of South Korea. – does not work only in the case of processors.

The problem for Apple’s happened since the series along with the Galaxy and Android Samsung came in cheaper alternative to the iPhone ` iPad ai `a. But the quick separation of the Koreans is more difficult than expected.

Hong Kong: iPhone 4S sold out in 10 minutes - Official Internet users

analyst Brian White, known for his accurate observation of Apple’s actions in the Chinese market, said on Monday that last week’s sales of the iPhone 4S in Hong Kong lasted a very short time.

According to Brian

orders for the new smartphone from the manufacturer in California could be made only for 10 minutes – as soon managed to run out of supplies. iPhone 4S will not, however, to users for a few weeks. Its sale and shipment to customers is expected to begin in December.

notes CNN , queue, and an unusual interest in the smartphone is a real phenomenon, considering that the Siri (one of the main innovations of the device) is not compatible with the language of Cantonese or Mandarin, which are used in that region . It is possible that due to the large number of customers in Asia, however, Apple will provide this type of support in the future.

is worth recalling that in the last quarter of the Cupertino giant reported revenue of 4.5 billion, of which only 16% from China. However, completely different situation when you consider that a year ago only 2% of Apple’s revenue came from that market. Despite problems with the battery, and Siri, iPhone 4S is currently selling hit, much more likely choice than the previous version of the device.

Czechs withdraw from the offer iPhone - CNN

Czechs withdraw from the offer iPhone / AFP

Czech newspaper “Hospodarske Noviny” reported that the operator does not intend to sell the new iPhone at home 4S. Additionally, the company withdraws from the sale of the previous generation of Apple’s smartphone. Why?

details of negotiations between O2 and Apple are not known, but a network spokesman Hana Farghali indicates that the conditions which required the company from Cupertino are not acceptable. Instead of iOS phones, the network will focus on the sales of popular smartphones running Google. Spokesman stated, moreover, that the sale of iPhone in the Czech Republic is much worse than the devices with Android and Nokia’s Finnish cells. Bending to the conditions Apple was simply not viable.

According to the website BoyGeniusReport

can walk here is that Apple requires operators of high subsidy on each unit in iPhone sales. How to inform the president of the U.S. Sprint network, it is higher by about $ 200 compared with an average price determined on the basis of competition.

an operator decision last year, almost 5 million customers, of course, does not mean that in the Czech Republic will not be iPhone 4S. The new smartphone from Cupertino is available for sale at the competition: in the Czech branch Vodafone and T-Mobile.

Looking at mobile offer and it’s like bragging about selling the iPhone it seems that Apple’s hardware is offered prestige and even a necessity. However, it appears that they do not always go to the profitability and the case of the Czech O2 is the best example.

In Poland for iPhone 4S 5 000 z?. Buy? - Virtual Poland

Polish premiere of iPhone 4S had not been held. However this does not introduce him to some shops to offer. The unofficial channel of distribution, so the prices are, to put it mildly, prohibitive.

iPhone 4S has not yet appeared in the Polish branch of Apple’s offering. There can also be purchased at any of the mobile network operators. But there are shops, and so have decided to bring it to its offer. Do not kid yourself, this type of offer, before the official release, are designed for ultra-fans. Hence, and prices are low.

The store RTV-Euro-appliances you can buy all the variants of the new iPhone, or 16 -, 32 – and 64-gigabyte, both in black and white cabinets. The cheapest version costs … 3 699 gold! The iPhone 4S with 64 GB buy for the price of … well … 4 999, respectively.

Does anyone of our readers to the temptation?

iPhone 4S - is it worth to buy? Review of the first reviews - Gazeta.pl

True, the iPhone 4S is not a breakthrough, it is not anticipated iPhone 5, a new name and quality. Is there anyway is worth attention, especially when we have the previous model?

The ground is strong opening reviews – to such places TechCrunch :

What does the “S”?
When I ask Apple , give vague answers. Point out that some people say that it means “Special” or “Super”. Others that “Speed” (“Speed”) – as the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G successor. Or is “Storage” (“Magazine”, a place for data), because it is the first iPhone with 64GB of memory. (…) Or is “Speech” (“Speech”) or “Siri”. Either of these last two would get my vote. “S” can mean anything, depending on who is using this device. And one thing I know for sure – it is so far the best iPhone.

Techradar.com :

As mentioned, the iPhone looks almost identical 4S as the iPhone 4, which may irritate those who want to show your friends that have the latest device from Apple.

SlashGear :

Quite familiar but new, iPhone 4S from the outside is not much different from its predecessor, but the measure is complete novelty. (…) From the outside, the same as the iPhone 4, from the inside on the contrary. Apple gave up their change-made for change, so left the same 3.5-inch display Retina, glass and aluminum design and a minimalist aesthetic. This decision announced at the premiere sfrustrowa?a many people, but in fact is justified. Expanded to a larger display device itself, probably making it uncomfortable for women, teens and all with smaller hands. Accessories of iPhone 4 will also work with the 4S, which allowed Apple to focus on increasing power.

on which the change is worth paying attention?

TechCrunch believes that one of the most significant improvements is new processor – A5:

First iPhone 4S ahead of four when it comes to speed. Over the last week I tested my most frequently used applications and noticed a sound, and sometimes incredible difference. (…) Do not come back to the iPhone 4 and frustrated with delays. Applications that need time to do the job – such as adding a filter in Camera + – now run much faster. (…) Even greater gains can be seen in games. Apple Infinity Blade 2 presented at the conference, but the leap in quality can be seen even less visually rich applications.

Exactly the opposite feeling is, however, the reviewer Gizmodo :

If you have iPhone 4 is the smallest reason to upgrade is speed. Although the chip has the A5 and is actually faster than the iPhone 4 But not enough that I felt the difference in their daily work, as was the case with 3G and 4

Engadget sums up this little detail:

Actually

can safely say that most of the viscera thrown Apple iPhone 4 and put a new there – starting with the A5 processor. Yes, the same dual-core chip, which is driven by iPad 2, and although Apple did not say it runs at 800MHz – 1GHz slightly lower than in the tablet. RAM is still the same – 512, but the maximum capacity has been doubled, like the iPod Touch – up to 64GB.

According CNET one of the key improvements is the Notification Center (Notification ):

Instead of pop-ups that interrupt your work, the new Notification Center includes the information about messages, Missed calls, application updates, stock market, weather – all in one the spot. (…) This is not the end of the original – drawn from the top of the menu has long been a hallmark of Android – but this opportunity to check all notifications in one place is a good feature iOS5.

However, this change will appear in each device with iOS5. What is reserved only for the iPhone 4S is Siri, a personal assistant, whose ability to recognize human speech is praised for Gizmodo:

Siri, a virtual assistant in the iPhone 4S, understands me almost as good as the people – I estimate that in 85 percent of cases. The Windows Phone is about 80%, and Android 70 percent.

We made a comparison speech recognition by iOS5 with these built-in Windows Phone and Android and found that they are comparable. Although Android bit less friendly to use – it was needed a few more hits on the screen. Windows Phone (…) he had problems with transcription, and sometimes did not understand more complex sentences.

Both, however, note that the advantage of Siri is a communication in the “human” language.

Engadget:

(…) do not need to remember commands. At least not as thoroughly as in Android. If you want to hit the place with Google Navigation, you need to say exactly, “Cross-X”. For Siri you say, “Give me a route to X” or simply “How to get to X” or just “Cross-X”.

Gizmodo:

is human enough. “Is tomorrow will be cold?”. I see the weather forecast for New York. “Where can I drink a beer?”. A list of bars.

With smaller benefits – SlashGear also draws attention to a new camera:

iPhone 4S comes to photography much more seriously with the new 8-megapixel camera, which is a large change in relation to 5 megapixels in the antecedent.

Likewise CNET:

From the beginning I noticed a difference in image quality compared to the iPhone 4 The colors are brighter and sharper images with less clear pixels. It’s no surprise that the camera is doing better in low light, though the flash is often a bit too strong.

Apple promised 8 hours battery with 3G enabled, which would give an hour more than the 4 Interesting that in standby mode, it can withstand less – 200 hours, not 300 as the fourth

summary

Perhaps best summed up his review CNET:

4S needed improvements added to the already excellent device. (…) Android fans are right: the iPhone 4S adds features that allow it to stand in the reins of the phones a few months. But it’s not the point. This phone is not all, but nobody gives comfort to commune and operating it as much attention as Apple. Some believe that it is worthwhile to pay for a more closed and centrally uregulowamym system, while others prefer to have more control. Apple’s philosophy is not only legitimate, but may be right for you. And if so – the phone will not disappoint you.

quoted at the beginning of thought unconsciously refers TechCrunch site Engadget:

Is this the best iPhone as the the event. Yes, definitely. iPhone 4S is a former king, with additives, such as a new camera, without increasing weight. This is the best iPhone on the market, but it leaves us with two questions: is this the best phone on the market and whether it is worth another change for this? If your contract ends and you have the iPhone, and you do not have the number 4, then this is your phone. (…) 4S iPhone does everything better than the iPhone 4, but in terms of what he does, does not differ too much from him.
