Apple didn't innovate anything. Why do people praise them?
After watching the WWDC I've noticed some stuff weren't really new innovative ideas. Parallax was taken from The Astonishing Tribe (TAT, owned by BlackBerry) and added to the UI, the swiping gestures were taken from BB10 OS, Air Drop is basically NFC, the App Store looks similar to BlackBerry World with a white background but has more apps, multitasking idea was taken from either WebOS or BlackBerry PlayBook, and last but not least the car integration idea was actually bought up first by BlackBerry and QNX. Those are things I've examined from WWDC. They might have added their own stuff into the phone but the rest weren't innovated ideas made by them. Some people didn't even like the swiping idea of BB10 OS and now the iPhone has added it to its OS update. Steve Jobs once quoted Picasso by saying "Good artists copy, Great artists steal".So this proves my point. Why do people praise them when they haven't invented anything?
I think you already answered this in your question, "Good artists copy, Great artists steal". Unfortunately this premise seems to be popular among mainstream culture now. Look at all the sampling in music, and remakes of both songs and films. Repacking old ideas and making them more basic is what sells now, even if the originals are better on many levels (on an artistic level or better due to costing less).
That's because they have a bunch of stupid and ignorant fanboys that basically worship them. Then they call Apple innovative just like Panorama even though Panorama was already in Android for years so the reason that they think Apple is 'innovative' is because they haven't tried another OS or another phone and they've only used Apple for most of their ignorant lives.
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why is my car playing music from my iPhone, even though I didn't do anything to make that happen? Also, I was watching a YouTube video at the end of yesterday, and when I got in my car, the title of the video appeared in my car audio display screen. Could I have watched the video? The car has a backup camera, so there's a TV screen in the car. (BTW I have a 2015 Honda Civic LX)
- Why didn't I receive text messages people sent while I was away? - 1 I was away in Italy and I took my cell phone, but turned off roaming and data. Anyway, when we got back my sister received text messages people sent while she was away, but I didn't. People told me they texted me and I never got them. I don't this guy to think I'm ignoring him if he also sent me a text while I was away. I have an iPhone and my carrier is Verizon.
- Why didn't I get the iphone updates? How do I get them? I have an iPhone 4 for Virgin Mobile, and I never got IOS 8, and a lot of my other friends got it. And then Apple put out another update called 8.0.2 to fix the bugs from 8.0, and I didn't get them one either. I went into my 'general', then my 'software update' and it still says '1.7.2, your software is up to date'. So why did I not get either update, and how could I get the new update?
