Why the emphasis on Apple when Samsung was there first? It looks like the competition is making them sweat (pun intended).

Why the emphasis on Apple when Samsung was there first?
It looks like the competition is making them sweat (pun intended).
- jjice 1y agoBut the sweat is evaporating now, at least. But seriously though, I think it's just due to larger market share (at least in the US), so more people are seeing it and commenting on it.
- fooqux 1y agoYou should know how this goes by now. It's not like this is the first time Apple introduced an old technology but marketed it like they invented sliced bread. I give their marketing team credit.
- bapak 1y agoSamsung is not Apple. Relatively no one cares about Samsung outside Korea.
- kyriakos 1y agoI think you are exaggerating how much people care about apple outside US. Apple is popular but Samsung, Xiaomi etc are also very dominant in other markets.
- bapak 1y agoI'm not US based, you have no idea what you're talking about. Market share is not what matters. When an S30 comes out, nobody cares. When a new iPhone comes out, my mother asks me about it. This is why you're seeing a lot of people talking about something that Samsung did first.
- whatevaa 1y agoYou are very from US to think that. Samsung strong in Europe.
- bapak 1y agoTell me when was the last time you heard boomers talk about Samsung. Never happened. Now how many times has nana mentioned "the iPhone" specifically? Also not from the US, I live in Thailand. Everyone wants an iPhone. Those who can't afford it buy Oppo, etc. Samsung may be "strong" in Europe but it's just because it's colorful and/or cheaper. You live in the HN bubble if you think that people care about specs and not brands/price. The choice is generally "Either Apple or whatever else in my budget"
- ahartmetz 1y agoNot everyone wants an iPhone in Germany. It is not in the least like everyone who can afford it gets one and the others Android. Like in most high income countries, the money for an iPhone is available or can be scrounged together for the vast majority of people.
- legacynl 1y ago> The choice is generally "Either Apple or whatever else in my budget" Lol dude, stop acting like you know what's happening in my part of the world. People only care about apple because all major news outlets are payed by apple to talk about it when they hold their yearly sales pitch. People don't act like this with any other product/manufacturer etc.
- orev 1y agoLiterally in the subheading: > Apple joins Samsung and Google in managing heat
- nicce 1y agoUsually it is sign for stability and usefulness if Apple adapts it. They rarely add something very new for mass production.
- cherryteastain 1y agoHeat pipes and vapour chambers are older than Apple
- hn_throwaway_99 1y agoI think miniaturizing it to fit into a modern cellphone adds a few complexities that make it pretty different from the heat pipes and vapor chambers that existed in the 70s.
- fennecbutt 1y agoBut the heading is the attractor.
- GrabbinD33ze69 1y agoBecause average people "care" about Apple far more than their peers.
- numpad0 1y agoSamsung is definitely NOT the first.
- Aurornis 1y ago[flagged]
- dotnet00 1y agoProbably because every Android or x86 thread gets filled with Apple fans doing similar things? This is just how these kinds of discussions go.
- IlikeMadison 1y agoWrong. The vast majority of Apple fans don't care about Android. I never see "Apple fans" going in threads about random Android stuff and talking about it. On the opposite, I see a lot of Android users complain and talk in every single videos regarding anything Apple on YouTube.
- nomel 1y agoIt extends beyond videos. I have a friend that works at Apple. In social gatherings, he'll be vague about where he works, to avoid having to hear people defending their Android phones and shitting on Apple. I thought he was exaggerating, but then he showed me. It's super weird. Tribalism is a hell of a drug.
- rootusrootus 1y agoIt feels like a manifestation of inferiority complex.
- izacus 1y agoWhat on earth are you talking about? There isn't a single Android thread here where some Apple dude wouldn't have an utterly wrong post.

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 1y agoBecause Samsung didn't invent the special patented Apple thermal transfer iShaft technology.
- nabla9 1y agoOppo (Chinese phone manufacturer) also has them and manufactures them.
