Another example of apple innovation?

What is APPLE planning?

Having said that, it doesn't mean all the cheap accessories are the same quality and we are fools to get the real thing.
This guy did a detailed analysis of the components inside an Apple charger:

He notes that:
He also notes that Apple is making almost all profit on it. But then even more interesting is when he tears down a fake Apple-style usb charger:

One of the first things he notes is:
I have a coworker who loves to get bargains. He ordered an eBay fake Apple charger that is a lot closer cosmetic match than this one. It looks identical to the real one, down to the green dot (which indicates an Apple charger that has had a safety recall fix applied). However, as the article warns, it seems to make his phone malfunction when he uses it. :biggrin:

Oh, and one more thing -- look through the corresponding Microsoft thread and see all the venomous haterade that #1 Apple Fanboi Jimbo dishes out.
All products have their fanboys and haters -- and I think this is healthy. It inspires discussion and competition. We are blessed to have such a vibrant tech industry, and everyone is rewarded for it.

FWIW, I've been an iPhone user since the original iPhone. I read the announcement of the iPhone 5 and was completely underwhelmed. There's not one thing that made me say, "I MUST HAVE THIS for $xxx to replace my (sarcasm) antiquated iPhone 4." Instead, I went out and bought a Samsung Galaxy S3.
1. Since I'll have to change out my chargers / docks / car adapters anyways, might as well make the switch now.
2. Widgets.
3. The innovation just isn't there compared to all the iPhone releases. That's TWO iterations with nothing to be excited about (4S and 5).

Has anyone ordered theirs yet? I'm still waiting till next week or so. I want to see who has the best prepaid service in my area, and if they have LTE, and support for the iPhone 5.
These guys really wanted an iPhone:

Lol did the idiots get stuck?
He didn't take off his license plate and it showed in the recording. They then arrested him. What a dumbass.
Frikin idots lol. Never ceases to amaze me how stupid these crooks can be.
Should 'specs' really be touted as much as they are amongst the Android community?
I would say no because just like the iPhone 4 & 4S, the iPhone 5 (if accurate) has managed to distance itself once again in bench marking scores from its rival Android phones.

Lots of chest beating from the Android phones about their quad-core processors, yada yada yada but still can't top the iPhone.

And yet every one of the Android devices listed is faster than the previously top-of-the-line 4S.
You can bet that when the iPhone 6 comes out, every current Android phone will have bested the iPhone 5 in this benchmark. That's not chest beating, that's just technological progress.

Are you really trying to use logic on him?
Oh, and S3 on Jelly Bean already beats the iPhone 5

It's even dumber than that. In his efforts to get out (after the security gate fell down), his license plate tore off and was left at the scene. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to track down the owner.
Plus, he grabbed the phones (with a value of $100/each, assuming they were 4S's), and left the multi-thousand dollar MacBooks behind.
This was all using HIS OWN BMW X5.
This may be the dumbest criminal on the planet.

Re: Should 'specs' really be touted as much as they are amongst the Android community
The Android community loves to use 'greater specs' as an advantage of choosing their phones but in my example above, the iPhone 5 (w/two LESS cores) beats the S3 in performance. So I pose the question again, is it rational to judge the greatness of a phone by its specs?
Too bad the S3 isn't running Jelly Bean yet and what's the performance of the US version of the S3 (you know the one without the quad-core processor)?
4G still equals LTE, right?
Quite Butt-hurt reaction to my question which you clearly did not answer, nor understand the point of my post. I would hope that the majority of the phones (released after the iPhone 4S) would beat it in benchmark tests.

LTE is 4G, not 4G is LTE. 4G can be a lot of things.
Now get back to the genius bar before someone misses you.

Within reason. But most modern phones are sufficiently fast, and so raw benchmarks become rather irrelevant. If I push a button and a thing happens, it doesn't really matter if it takes 1600 whatevers or 1400 whatevers -- as long as it happens quick enough on a human time scale. If I push a button and I have to wait 5 seconds for the thing to happen, it's too slow. But no modern phone is that slow, regardless of OS.

Which is a rational conclusion everyone would come to but from the Android perspective, its one of the many supposed 'feathers' in their cap to win the spec battle.
Willing to agree to disgree about this.

Which is why, with this A6 chip optimized for iOS is going to make this phone incredible to use.
It's 2x faster than this latest generation iPad I'm using, and I have absolutely no complaints about speed with this thing.

Re: Should 'specs' really be touted as much as they are amongst the Android community
So if you have no complains about the speed your your iPad, why would it being faster be more incredible?
I mean, if it takes 1 second to load an app, and now it takes .8, are you really going to notice?
I think my wifes iPhone4 is still really fast. I don't think my iPad3 feels any faster except in games.

Re: Should 'specs' really be touted as much as they are amongst the Android community
My iPhone 4 was feeling VERY VERY sluggish before I sold it (day before the iP5 announcement) and my iPad (+retina display) is NOTICEABLY faster. I would avoid using my iPhone for the iMovie app because the iPad was just much faster (also more real estate).
No one actively wants a bump in speed but when it happens, its like night & day. No one knew they would need retina displays but once you have them and become accustomed to them, switching back is almost a curse. I'm using my first gen iPhone until Friday & its a sobering experience to see how far Apple has come.
Oh and the A6 is said to be twice as fast. :biggrin:

We shall see Friday when I pick it up.

Because with electronics like these, added snappiness is always welcome.
My iPad feels way better than my iphone4. And moving into the future, it can handle way more powerful apps.
