Things like large 1” camera sensors, SiC batteries that offer 6-8k mAh, and other cool tech that would improve phones a lot. It’s not just Chinese brands either (e.g. Sony has an optical zoom camera on their flagship, Nothing has some excellent budget to midrange offerings).
It seems really weird, Apple/Samsung/Google are massive companies with so much money, yet they don’t try to offer this kind of tech on even their most expensive phones. In contrast, other phone makers have budget to midrange phones with insane battery capacities, Ultra models with innovative cameras, etc.
To me, it makes sense that Apple isn’t offering these kinds of things. They’re already extremely profitable and have the whole walled garden ecosystem that draws people in. Google focuses more on software rather than hardware, and their cameras are helped by software magic.
What surprises me is that Samsung isn’t trying to get better hardware to get more market share. If they had huge SiC batteries, large camera sensors, or other cool tech, it would definitely help sway buyers from Apple and other brands.
Especially since Samsung is struggling against both Chinese competition and, to a lesser extent, Indian competition. And in the U.S., they certainly want to steal market share from Apple.
What is with the reluctance of these massive tech companies from using the latest tech in their phones?
that would be more believable if they didn’t release the apple vision pro.
Or the years they took biding their time before they finally implemented battery charge time estimation on ios.
Or the time biding their time refining, erm, copy and paste?
Come on!
Copy paste has been available since iOS 3.0, launching alongside the iPhone 3GS.
I don’t know what you’re trying to say with the other two statements
three, point, oh
for copy and paste.
Not one, but three point oh!
Same for Windows Phone 7 when it launched. No copy and paste there either.
so?
Love that the downvote and blunt reply suggests you think I’m not agreeing with you.
It was another example of a massive computer company surprisingly being unable to include a bread-and-butter feature at the launch of their new mobile computing devices.
the downvote wasn’t from me
Why does every rebuttal have to strawman me saying “Apple is perfect and get it right every time”?
I’m offering nothing more than an explanation of how they try to operate. I’m not defending them, or saying they never miss.
Cherry-picked examples are cherry-picked examples.
The trend still sticks
what trend? they made thi ipod, they made the iphone, they’ve been late, really really late, for very basic features on either. And a bunch of just plain bad stuff.
Butterfly keyboards, magic mouse, touch bar on macs, not cherry picked at all. There are tons of examples
