I wonder what the chances of Apple jumping on bendable phones is. Apple has transformed into a company that lags in innovation and only makes safe moves. I wonder how long it will take for bendable to become “safe”.
Apple happily sold 100's of millions of "bendgate" phones, and 100's of millions of costumers happily used them and still use today, without a problem.
Android fans are so full of themselves, they think anyone listens to them ahahahah
(search for bendgate)
At no point was Apple a company that was first in a product category. They didn’t make the first PC, the first portable MP3 player, the first smartphone (not even the first all-touchscreen smartphone), or the first smart watch. They won by jumping into these categories afterward and doing them better. Comments like this display an incredible ignorance of how Apple does business just to score cheap points.
This is a chestnut you can roll out in every discussion on new tech, because the history of tech is littered with new ideas poorly executed, then (usually) Apple coming along and defining how it should be done, and then everyone copying that.
Two recent examples I can think of of this phenomenon:
* Asus' ScreenPad, a screen stuffed into the trackpad. Completely not integrated into the overall experience and a total gimmick.
* Any Kinect-like product (LG's Project Tango phones, Intel RealSense, etc), which were essentially hardware demos without quality software to hit useful use cases
