Steve Jobs email addressed this in an email: http://macdailynews.com/2010/06/29/steve_jobs_on_ios_multita... “People shouldn’t have to understand multitasking. Just use is [sic] as designed, and you’ll be happy. No need to ever quit apps.

Of course you are welcome to do whatever you want. I find taking it to the moral extreme strange though. That leaves you little in the way of daily activities besides pure charitable work. Does your short film make the world a better plac

Here's what I don't understand, and admittedly I have very little knowledge of the industry. There seems to be some sort of approval process for electronics to be vetted during takeoff and landing. Several in-chair entertainment systems se

That's not necessarily the case. $200 is still $200. They pay the contract regardless. The same argument could be made about only getting the high end 64GB iPhone since $399 is a drop in the bucket compared to your contract. Or cable box

I'm not so sure multi-touch was inevitable. I mean, as a general concept perhaps. But the trend for phone during the time that the iPhone was released was tiny-keyboards. It was the Blackberry era. It's no accident that 2006 era Android

1. It's not false. 3G and 3GS having the same form factor proves/shows it. 2. Can you cite where Jobs said it was a generation number? I don't believe that to be true.

by arn 15y ago
I don't see how that's proof. If you throw out the original iPhone since it had no number designation, then there are two models that follow the generation number and two that don't. It seems obvious to me the next one will be the iPhone 5
