What you fail to understand is that China doesn't innovate, they only replicate.  When it comes to new designs and specs, Apple will work with the chinese factory to create what they need.  They then build the machines to create the parts and they get first jump on it for the next few months to a year.  Any other designer like Sony, Samsung, Nokia etc... that wants to build something similar got stuck waiting for new inventory that Apple didn't buy or working with other factories in China and teaching them how to make the knock off.

Nobody is asking China to innovate... they want them to Replicate lol. 

Just so you know my job at my work was to fly to places like China and conduct factory evaluations to decide if our company was going to work with them or not, so I'm quite familiar with what they do and their production procedures.

Of course Apple gets first dibs because they have the bigger sales... so they are priority?  And where are you getting this information anyways.

Also, you are aware that Apple buys a lot of its components from Samsung, Sharp, and LG's factories, right?

As a matter of fact, the processors for Apple devices (Iphone and IPad) are manufactured in Texas at a Samsung Factory:

so you got used to the touch screen then?

Yeah that was definitely hard to get used to I'm not going to lie...  but dude we all gotta evolve, better products are out there...

And if you are worried about the touchscreen, remember, you still have options man... Take the Motorola Droid 4 which was just launched earlier this year...

This bad boy has 1.2 Ghz Texas Instrument Dual Core processor running Android, 4G LTE, decent battery life, AND A slide out physical qwerty keyboard  ;D

LOL yes these devices are out there... but I was trying to point out a device which has a physical keyboard.


And what device are you pimping right now :-)  - I bet it doesn't have 4G LTE though, since they are just now learning how to implement that with the quad core processors!

The reason Apple does so well, is that there is a large group of society that is dazzled by colors and no nothing about technology!  Apple captured the market of technological inept morons by using gimmicks and marketing aimed at the technologically ignorant masses.  Apple products are far inferior to other products on the market and yet cost way more.  For those who know about technology, they laugh at how gullible Apple customers are, spending way more on an inferior products that others produce for half the cost!  Apple = Yuppie technology for those who don't know any better!

all i know is i can look at porn all day for years, and this thing never gets viruses. the proof is right there my friend. apple is superior

Gotcha. A buddy of mine has a schwing(sp?) 30 meter that he rents out sometimes, but a lot of commercial guys think it's too small and just rent them from real companies. He's got a Somero laser screed as well, but they mostly sit in his yard now.

schwings are great pumps, but ya a 30M is better suited for the resi stuff. i have trucks from 32M to 55M in length. too bad about the laser screed sitting, those bitches make alot of dough when running a few times a week.

where do you fit in in the industry??

Apple has found a way to convince it's followers that the Apple 4 is different than the Apple 4s or the Ipad 2 is different than the New Ipad or the Imac is different than the new Imac when infact they are the exact same thing with just some minor upgrades to call it "new".

The fact is when Apple makes a new design, they corner the market by purchasing the entire inventory of the parts they need from the manufacturer.  So they come out with a new 9 inch screen, so they buy ALL 9 inch screens for the next couple years.  This puts all other vendors behind then waiting to create their knock off because there aren't any 9 inch screens available. 

The problem is that Apple is stuck now with millions of the same parts so they are forced to use them all or lose a shitload of money.  They are also forced to stay current and release "new" products or fail to be considered as front runners.  So they pretty much release the same product and call it new with some minor changes.  Sometimes they don't even change the hardware.  They will put in a Processor and limit it's clock speed, then the next release it's the same processor but they maxed out the clock speed and they convince people that it is a faster computer.


So now all you diehards know the truth.


wow... because people haven't been using this kind of technique for decades...

genius  ::)
