Wasn't calling you a troll, calm down. Did I quote you in that post? I simply said I wasn't interested in arguing all night. Thanks and enjoy your night.
Spunky? Anyway.... Still waiting on an answer, from anyone

It's an honest question...
It is not an honest question. If you've been paying attention and are looking to participate in a discussion honestly, then you would already know where they've innovated.
Lol... Wow. I've been participating in plenty of discussions on this forum, both when I've had iphones and when I've used android phones. The reality is, what androidguy said is true. It was mentioned that Apple innovated with the iphone and I simply would like clarification to that... I haven't gotten it because no one can come up with an answer.
-Widespread use of glass capacitive touchscreens.
-Multitouch displays
-High-capacity storage
-Mobile iTunes
-On device App Store
-Quality touch screen music player on a smartphone
I could go on and on. If you honestly don't know where apple has innovated then you either haven't been paying attention or you're intentionally trolling. Given your prior posts here, the latter seems to be the case.
I honestly cannot name many things at all that Apple has done with the iphone in the last however many years that I would lable as innovating. But I will say this, after a week of using the S3, I could not get back to my iphone 5 fast enough. A phone can have all of the gimmicks in the world (yes Im sorry, but bumping phones that have to be the same model to share things, face unlock, motion features, pop up play, smart stay, etc are all gimmicks), but when apps are force closing, lag is present, camera lacks, speaker is low, screen is incredibly dim, arguably unusable in daylight, colors are oversaturated, etc etc......I dont see how "innovating" even bears a strong weight in an argument. But, to each there own. I don't and won't get bent out of shape if someone prefers another device to the one I use.
Again... I didn't bring it up, just asked for clarification
There it is again, troll... Whatever. Anyway... Yeah ok they innovated... ONCE about 5yrs ago, you just pointed that out yourself. It proves my point, apple has done nothing innovating in the last 5yrs...they shot their wad with the first iphone, and have been doing their own version of what other platforms have been doing for years ever since... Nothing wrong with that, just wanted to point that out since people keep saying apple is an innovator... Yeah they were... Once.
Now, enough with this troll BS.... I've been a member here for quite some time. I've had the 4 and the 4s and the 5, with some android phones as well. I've never said anything bad about apple that wasn't true... But as its has been said before, even in a thread intended to compare the two, someone says something negative about apple and they're automatically a troll.... We still have iphones being used in this house, that's why I still come here to check things out.
I'm not sure how he pointed that out. He listed the most obvious things you were asking for and said he could go on. Your real question is what has Apple done lately..as in the last few years right?
iphone 4 brought retina screens. I don't think your android friends were sporting those kind of screens. You had the big crap screens that looked like screen doors after that. Yep, i remember the Evo too. It's only recently that those bigger screens have improved enough to be worthwhile.
iphone 4S refined the iphone 4 making it much faster with a host of updates including Siri, airplay mirroring, and iCloud.
iphone 5 brought one of the thinnest, lightest and fastest phones available. Using in-cell tech, Apple created possibly the best quality screen on a smartphone. Only Nokia seems to be innovating to bring better (not your android buddies). iOS 6 included a superior Maps app, improved Siri, and much more integration with Macs. Headset redesigned.
My question to you is what has Google or Samsung done lately to innovate for smartphones? Besides copy Apple that is.. I'm sure you'll bring up NFC or wireless charging, neither of which are really useful or innovative. MS, with windows 8, is attacking google as well. All those google apps and services are of course available on a windows 8 PC but you have to get past the crap MS is trying to shove down your throat first now. Good luck with that since the start screen is all about Metro apps. How many will start using Bing, IE10, or outlook.com now?
Perhaps you should troll the windows forums? That's the bigger threat.
I'll give you the retina display and maybe icloud as being an innovation... Which, to me means it's a new idea/product that hasn't been done before. The others not so much... Apple maps is superior? Superior to what, blackberry maps? Come on, eve apple acknowledges that their native maps kinda suck. Siri and airplay aren't innovations... They're a different version of something that was already out in the market... Like Google voice actions and dlna
Qualify that... what has Google or Samsung innovated that was not found to infringe an Apple patent?Again, let's hear the innovations Google or Samsung have made with smartphones the last generation. It's just an honest question. I assume you can't come up with an answer. I don't think project butter is one. An attempt to make android not laggy? Maybe the Nexus Q is innovative..lol
Y'all act like I called your mama fat or something... I just never understood where apple has innovated anything in the last few years, but you have totally proved all of my points wrong and straightened me out... So you win, before apple we used two cups and a string to communicate with each other.

The Nexus 4: Google's flagship phone lands November 13th for $299 | The Verge
Here's some innovation. Latest Nexus with 4.2. And no LTE. A glass back (like the iphone 4/4S). I see they ripped off Apple's in-cell technology...but that's more an LG thing. Remains to be seen if that's patent infringing.
4.2 killer innovative features?
1. Panorama. Hmmm. Yep, totally innovative and clearly not done before. Oops, this is full 360 degrees. Take that Apple.
2. Gesture kb. Innovation or copied from swype?
3. Quick settings. Hardly a new concept.
4. Camera has also been improved with a completely redesigned UI focused on single-handed input. What? Let's just say like the iphone.
5. scale-to-fit messages for gmail (like the iPhone)
6. new accessibility options (like the iphone)
7. Google has added widget functionality to the lock screen (like the iphone)
8. Google Now significantly improved (in response to Siri's improvements no doubt)
Clearly, it's easy to see why people flock to android. So innovating?
Edit: Oops..here's some more innovative goodness: http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/...-gesture-keyboard-multiple-users-photo-sphere
1. The highlight killer feature of 4.2 is support for Miracast, an industry-standard Wi-Fi display sharing protocol that allows new devices like the Nexus 4 to stream audio and video to TVs. (Think AirPlay). (like the iphone)
2. Daydream screensavers...lol
I've seen documentaries about apple and Steve Jobs where they even tell you what apple has done... Which is take what other companies do and make it "better".... So I'm not pulling this out of thin air. You can try and turn it into a iphone vs android mess if you want, I'm not going there.....
