Apple has copied more from the note series than vice versa.
- ceejayoz 10y agoLike what? And no, Android features Apple copied from Google don't count.
- Nursie 10y agoWell, the phablet form factor - the Samsung note range did create (or perhaps reveal) that particular market, which Apple eventually decided to move into. Software-wise, I have no idea as I've never really used an iPhone.
- ceejayoz 10y agoIf you're going to credit Samsung for the phablet form factor then you need to credit Apple for the iPhone and iPad form factor it built off, and so on and so forth.
- Nursie 10y agoI'm not the initial poster and have no interest in defending the initial claim about who contributed more, I just wanted to give one example where Samsung lead the market and Apple followed. Presumably we should also be giving credit to MS for their early pushing of the tabletpc form-factor. It's all evolutionary...
- samihasan 10y agoSamsung popularized the phablet form factor and so did Apple with the smartphone and tablets but neither can be credited with pioneering these products. At least for me, both are technically fast followers and not first movers but at the end of the day, what counts the most for commercial products are sales and profits and not bragging rights.
- audeyisaacs 10y agoRemember the old "This is your thumb" ad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O99m7lebirE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O99m7lebirE The Note line also had NFC first I believe.
