Motorola just finished launching their what appears to be fairly successful Motorola X and G lines under the Google name (after being purchased by Google) and is being sold to Lenovo.
Motorola is making the best phone I've used to date.
Nokia is making amazing camera phones with Microsoft.
In my world it's "where is apple now?" None of my coworkers were super pumped about the new iPhone. Before they left the company they were pumped about iOS 7 but just barely ("thank god they got rid of skeumorphism").
To me, despite how wrong this article was, the headline itself looks like it'll be coming true. Apple has been playing defense these last two or three years. Immense props for their initial creation, but the movement it spawned will end up much more wildly successful than Apple will. And the iPhone will fail in a late, defensive move.
- SG- 13y agoI haven't seen the new moto phone anywhere myself or heard it make any news other than Verge type site reviews, so what does "fairly" successful mean? Nokia isn't making anything amazing these days, i suppose they are making the phone with the highest megapixels and phoney ads pretending it was shot on the phone.
- Gigablah 13y ago> Nokia isn't making anything amazing these days Uh, what? I ditched my Nokia a while ago (I hated the ecosystem) but the Nokia Windows phones are undeniably rock solid hardware.
- SG- 13y agoI'm not saying the Nokia Windows phones are good or bad, but they aren't amazing and rocking the market right now. But your comment brings up another point, it's not just about the hardware these days like it used to be for phones, software is just as important.
- Nashhhh 13y agoExactly! When I saw the headline, that is what I thought it would be about: how apple has been playing defense and is destroying itself. They have been innovation free since the iphone 4 and it shows. Unfortunately, they made the wrong call on screen size and it's taken them 4 years to catch up. They also really need to drop this one-model-per-year schedule. Competition is too strong now. They need to release their BS "s" models midyear.
