Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there’s always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

    The LG Prada was the first capacitive touch-screen phone. March 2007 release compared to iPhone’s July 2007 release.

    Samsung also fought a patent war with Apple when Apple sued Samsung for creating a similar phone to the iPhone in 2008. The court docs had examples of Samsung’s first touchscreen phone.

    Apple are very good at marketing and had a powerful personality that people worshiped (Jobs).

    Spend 5 mins watching videos by Louis Rossman fixing Macbooks and you’ll realise they are shitty products.

      A couple months are irrelevant, obviously both phones were designed and released in a similar timetable. Lg prada wasnt a smart phone and didnt have multitouch.

      And while many people have turned against modern iphones, i think modern iphones are the best phones on the market. I wouldnt even recommend an iphone from 10+ years ago but modern iphones have addressed almost all issues that i had.

      They had

      1. shit screen resolution
      2. not oled
      3. tiny screens
      4. terrible cameras
      5. not usb-c
      6. shitty cpu
      7. shitty gpu
      8. very little ram(they still do but most apps are designed with that in mind)
      9. no fm radio(now almost no phones have one)
      10. no headphone jack(same)
      11. inability to easily send media and files from one from to another
      12. limited variety of apps

      I am probably forgetting tons of other issues that i had with iphones over the years. And apple took all these weaknesses and not only caught up to the competition, but surpassed it and made then a key marketing point.

      Samsung also fought a patent war with Apple when Apple sued Samsung for creating a similar phone to the iPhone in 2008. The court docs had examples of Samsung’s first touchscreen phone.

      I actually bought samsung wave in 2010, which was the first phone with an oled screen. And it was great, apart from the limited app support, since it was running Bada, a samsung created android competitor. And since then, i refused to get an non oled screen phone. Once you go black, you cant go back.

      I think that samsung makes the best android phones.

      I dont care or know much about macbooks but it is obvious that Rossman has an agenda and keeps making “artificial outrage” videos(because they bring the views). From what little experience i have, it seems to me that expensive windows laptops fall apart more often than macbook pros. And all windows laptops have shit battery life, which is very important for many people.
