I have experienced this too and with my old Samsung Captivate as well. When people see an Android phone they are wowed by it and by the ability to make it what YOU want. When they see an iPhone, it's just another iPhone, there's nothing special anymore, nothing "magical." I used to get excited over iPhone announcements back in the days where I was a poor high school student yearning to have a smartphone. Now, howveer, I find the annoucements boring because really, there's nothing to be excited about anymore.

Apple where we invented the lawsuit

Sent from the Darkside of the Force
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] look_alive:
Well, it looks like that's exactly what happened, and HTC refused to license.

"Apple reportedly asked for $5 - $15 per device to settle Android patent dispute" (I'm not 'allowed' to post my source link, but if you google that headline, you should find it on the Dow Jones website. Article is dated May 5th, 2012.)

So HTC just went on their merry way and knowingly infringed on the patent. If they didn't see this coming, then they're idiots.

That said, I LOVE this damn phone! I see why Apple might have a little envy smeared on their faces! :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kilo89:
Does anybody know what exactly it is they are claiming infringes on their patent still? I thought this was resolved with the adding of HTC Linkify Dispatcher. I've used the AT&T ROMS and I've seen how annoying this has made the UI compared to the Rogers version, what more do they want?

Apple's patent war has never been anything short of disgusting, and it continuously strikes me as appauling that the American courts so willingly allow a company that hasn't innovated since the first iPod, to maintain a monopoly by throwing up what sounds to me like fraudulent law suits in every corner, crack, and crevice of their corporate dominance.

I will shed no tears the day Apple's investors and end user market put their collective feet down and demand that enough is enough. As a point of personal disgust, I will likely never use my iPod again (well, duh, my HOX and old HTC Vision sound better anyway!)

That certainly seems the case, since the iPhone 4s was barely any different from the original iPhone 4, save for that annoying voice and a better camera, and the iPad 3 was barely any different - again, a better camera, and an upgrade with the Sharp (NOT APPLE) retina display.

I feel you there Bro! I used to be a huge apple fan then after 5 years I realized I was paying more for the same thing. Built my own computer switched to android its a night and day difference... But apple is looking to ban the SGSIII for s Voice basically on what Siri 's design intention is, not what Siri does now. Sammy's version is two generations ahead of siri. And if Siri is supposed to be all that then why isn't apple suing Magellan or IBM over voice control? Oh that's right IBM and Magellan are the property owners of voice control. :D not many people know that -Siri isn't pattent just a PAF (Pattent applied for) IBM and Magellan have the patents.

Perhaps we can create a forum/petition that shows our intent to stop purchasing apple products if this unfounded litigation continues. Maybe if word gets out that enough different groups are doing this, Apple and its shareholders will themselves say enough is enough? It just has to get into the press for a day. I personally am down to just two apple products left in my home. And with E3 in full swing my apple router and desktop better be worried about their replacements being introduced.

As I've stated in previous threads, all Tim Cook is interested in is protecting Apple's Intellectual Property. When he was acting CEO from Steve Jobs' medical leave I worked for Apple, and was on a few of his conference calls. Innovation for Apple is dead. All Apple can do is try to maintain their image for as long as possible before liquidating their assets and jumping ship. The iPhone 5 will be the last design of Steve Jobs. Additionally with the loss of a senior production engineer, you won't likely be seeing Apple creating anything innovative any longer. The company died with Jobs, all Tim Cook can do is fight to stay competitive, then break down and start selling the iOS platform to other companies.

we are all mad at apple but what is google going to help its partners
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
That is such misinformed comment. Google makes more money off of iOS mobile search ads than android. Even though android has larger marketshare in terms of volume - it doesn't generate as many searches or pageviews on google.com. And, that is how it makes money. After all, google is all about making money. Make no mistake; it is not a charitable organization that is handing out free OS to everyone out of goodness of their hearts. It is a very shrewd move to protect search revenue from Apple devices.

If google were to turn off search; people would start blaming google and not apple. And, switch search engine to yahoo or bing. Search is how Google makes money. In reality, android is loss generating division. If google shuts down android - the profit margin of google will go up by $400 - 500 million per year (source: Google's comments regarding android in legal dispute with Oracle over Java).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Pretty good question. Far as I know, for now, Apple has been limiting its attacks to Android vendors, and avoiding direct attacks to Google. The obvious reason is that the iPhone and iPad functionality depends greatly on Google search, maps, and other services.

This looks to change as Apple is obviously trying to sever ties to Google. For one, Apple's mapping solution that will come out with the next version of iOS is an obvious attempt to clean iOS of Google Maps.

Direct attacks on Google aren't far away. Google needs to stick up for its partners, and start defending itself as well.

Like many here, I am so sick of Apple's crap. They were just awarded another US patent for various iPhone features (can't find the article right now, was just a few days ago). One of which is "a phone with email", which obviously existed for year before Apple ever considered making phones. Patent law/process is so screwed up, that it allows patenting of vague ideas, and things that Apple did not even invent in the first place.

Its like Ford or Chevy saying they invented the automobile, then trying to sue every other car company out of existence, despite the cars not looking or working the same, just having the same basic function. It would be an injustice to the public to force everyone to buy one brand/model of a product. People like to have choices, duh.

May crApple executives die slow horrible painful deaths and their loved ones are left destitute and penniless. Scum of the earth, along with many others of course. These are the type of people who laugh at us, illegally abuse and cheat our legal systems, and continue to get rich beyond imagination while the rest of the world is going broke. F them. Eat the rich, it is the only thing they are good for. Average executive makes over 300x the average worker. Largest gap ever. We all know that some bs paper pusher who has never worked 1 real day in their overly pampered and way too comfortable lives are not worth over 300x the rest of us. Should clearly be the opposite. Case in point: ATT's ceo just cost the company over 4 billion dollars with the failed T-Mobile deal, yet he was given a 22 million dollar bonus! If you cost your company 4 billion would you get a bonus? And on top of it the dumb shareholders gave him a contract renewal recently. CrApple hides their money overseas and pays nowhere near their fair share of US taxes. We need to stop all of this nonsense once and for all. We are being conned people.

You need to calm down. It is just a phone. Hang out more with your loved ones rather than surfing the internet all day. Put the phone down and talk to people face to face more often. Seriously, the rage you have expressed here indicates more deeper problem with your psyche that may hamper your professional growth in the long term. You sound too young to understand complexities of corporate world. Unlike movies, there is no good side vs bad side here. Apple, Samsung, HTC, Google, Microsoft etc all are bullies in their own backyard. Don't get too attached with or against one company. Just because you like one device from a company - don't assume that company is good or the other is bad.

Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I hear you, that the post you quoted was a bit heavy handed (but probably not completely serious, also). The scary thing is, that if Apple really had its way, the iPhone would be the only smartphone on the market, and we would all buy one. Its very clear they want to shove their own agenda down everyone's throat, and not even listen to what consumers really want (which is CHOICE). Yeah, deep down inside, every phone manufacturer probably wants the same. What better way to maximize profit then by forcing everyone to buy your product? But Apple is the one making very definitive steps to actually make this happens. Sure its a worst case scenario, that probably won't happen. But if nobody fights back (in particular, Apple's competitors), it will.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
When I look at the mobile landscape; I look at it differently than many of the fellow xda members.

The phone market is very diverse and chances of one company having a monopoly are very slim. The biggest hurdle in innovation on mobile front has always been the carriers. In the past, they had been the gatekeeper of what goes on a phone. They successfully stifled innovation for very long until apple and Google entered the ring and showed what can be done. RIM, Microsoft and Nokia were laughing at them. The carriers still dictate which phone is successful and which is not. But, their grip is getting loose now. But, they are very smart - they have pitted one platform against the other by supporting one or the other at different times. The end result is - all carriers are enjoying healthy profits (except for may be sprint) whereas none of the device makers other than Samsung and Apple are making loads of money.

With regards to the patent cases worldwide - I think it was inevitable with several 800 lbs gorillas in one room. If anyone thinks that Samsung's Galaxy S was not a iPhone kirf; they are delusional and it was definitely going to tick off someone with the ego as large as Steve Jobs. However, they did correct the course and released subsequent versions that are not copies of iPhone. Anyone who has followed the mobile industry for more than 15 years knows that Samsung has always copied the most successful phone design and tried to ride with it. And, knowing Samsung - I wasn't shocked that they did that in 2010 with iPhone or iPad afterwards. In a way, it is a bad thing for android. When an untrained eye thinks the device you have is an iDevice looking device - their first reaction is that it must be a cheap knock off. I love the way LG, Nokia, Motorola and HTC design the devices - they are beautiful, elegant and original. And, that is how they should be designed - something Samsung also has started doing with SGSIII.

Your fears about apple being able to ban all other devices - although legitimate, are impossible to happen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I hope you're right, but I don't take it for granted that its "impossible". Apple has already pulled off huge bans in recent months, particularly in the EU. And the not just with devices that look close to the iPhone, many of the legal actions are based on what are IMO pretty trivial features, not real "inventions". For example, the import delay of the AT&T One X, however temporary, shows how much Apple can do with very little actual substance.

Of course its a multi-front, extremely complex ongoing battle, with bans being overthrown, countersuits, etc. So from that standpoint, I have to agree what its extremely improbable for Apple to completely stamp out the competition. But as I mentioned, it requires the competing manufacturers and Google to keep fighting the good fight.

Totally respect your opinion, and see your points. I think I'm just a bit more skeptical and pessimistic.

I'm also question Apple's argument that the iPhone was really something as novel as they claim. Have other manufacturers taken some design inspiration as far as the look of the device, and some features of the interface? Sure. But not anymore so than Apple drew from devices that preceded the iPhone. During the while "Galaxy S is a Apple clone" court case, somebody posted a pic of a Samsung device that preceded the iPhone by years, and it looked surprisingly like the iPhone. No design inspiration exists in a vacuum. All the tech companies draw inspiration from each other and past devices. Apple didn't invent the smartphone, but they sure act like they did.

That was claimed by phandroid.com here is the link:

http://phandroid.com/2011/04/20/did...r-iphone-design-from-samsung-pot-meet-kettle/

However, talk about misleading article with mixture of facts and lies - just like the Fox News style. The article in the above link claims it was announced during CEBIT 2006. But, it was never announced in cebit 2006. Here is the list of Samsung phones announced in CEBIT 2006.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_at_cebit_2006-news-177.php

Also, here is the Samsung press release announcing the same phone at 3GSM World Congress on Feb 8, 2007 (a month after the original iPhone was unveiled - remember this was just a few image renderings and nothing more). Now, look at the official press release photo of the phone.

http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=3516

Here is actual review of the phone sometime in April 2008 - when it was actually released.

http://asia.cnet.com/product/samsung-sgh-f700-40137400.htm

Here is the video of the interface of pre released version taken in Oct 2007.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r4CifYj_-c

I could have easily pointed towards this wikipedia article but, I wanted to verify facts as we all know wikipedia can not always be trusted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_SGH-F700

Now, I didn't do this to defend Apple but, just to demonstrate how easy it is to fact check something on the internet especially biases and outright lies propagated by blogs - ironically, it is made possible by closed source (black box index) google search engine - so, thanks to Google.

Yes, all tech companies draw inspiration from others but, there is a fine line between a kirf and an inspired design. And, IMO and experience; Samsung has been willing and have crossed that line far too often than any other phone manufacturer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sy7hf7tgtgrf:
Not possible, the government wouldn't allow Apple to be the only smartphone seller. Remember what happened to Bell? They were split because the government wouldn't allow one company to provide cell service or Bell could just make you pay whatever they wanted. The government saw that monopoly again when AT&T (Biggest Remain of Bell) attempted to buy out T-Mobile and the government would not allow AT&T to start a monopoly.

It's no joke, it's just 10MB for AED25 per month with my prepaid line, with an additional AED20 per MB surcharge if I breach my quota.
