Apple CEO Cook explains how Apple obtains innovative new features for the iPhone

Yeah they did that a lot, all the way back since iOS 5

Envy of app store because your play store is 99% junks and spams.

2nd reply, since phone arena censored me again: @iloveapps: you apparently know nothing of the play store. The apple store and play store both have issues. You really shouldn't make up facts. Try researching whatever it is you want to say, before you say it

List what Samsung has created from scratch.

The bendable display used in the galaxy fold and the special adhesive that it uses.

Nope, developed by Xerox back in the 1970’s. NEXT!!!!!!

They had mobile phones long before apple did... that's a start.

1. In August 1999, Samsung released the SPH-M2100 in South Korea. While it was essentially a phone and an MP3 player melded together into a single device, the fact remains that it was the first phone ever to support MP3 playback. 2. The Samsung Craft SCH-r900 became the world’s first LTE-enabled phone when it landed in late 2010. 3. Samsung Guru E1107 was the first phone ever to use solar power. 4. The Galaxy Beam which was the 1st phone with a projector built in. 5. Eye-tracking used in the Galaxy S4. 6. 1st phone with a heart rate monitor. 7. Multi-window Multi-tasking which appeared on the Galaxy S4 which something Iphones to this day can't do. 8. Gear VR 9. Curved display PHONE 10. Stylus in smartphone. 11. Samsung coined the term "Phablet" with their Note series. 12. Their superior Amoled technology. 13. Galaxy A9 was world's 1st quad camera phone. And if this is anything to go by then it be the 1st company to put front camera behind the display cos to be honest who else is going to do it? Apple?? :D https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_is_working_on_an_underdisplay_camera_solution_aiming_for_the_coveted_alldisplay_phone_design-news-36895.php

This is too easy, first Samsung didn’t invent the LTE phone, Ericsson is the first handheld to use LTE. MP3 was invented in Europe, Germany if memory serves me correct, so all Samsung did was take existing, emphasis on EXISTING, tech and use it. Still waiting for what Samsung created from scratch. Oh and the rest of your list was so ridiculous, it’s not even worth addressing, but I will if you want.

No Ericcson didnt it was Samsung https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication) In October 2009, Ericsson and Samsung demonstrated interoperability between the first ever commercial LTE device and the live network in Stockholm, Sweden The LTE services were launched by major North American carriers as well, with the Samsung SCH-r900 being the world's first LTE Mobile phone starting on September 21, 2010 and Samsung Galaxy Indulge being the world's first LTE smartphone starting on February 10, 2011. But I like how you provided no proof so yeah go for it address the rest :D Thanks that list alone I gave you is more than Apple has done to this day. Enjoy dissecting it apart ;)

Yeahhhhhh....so where exactly did Samsung start from scratch with LTE? Oh and my post is number 6, reread it, it’s clear you didn’t understand my question.

The first time I heard the term phablet was when describing the Dell Streak 5...pretty sure it was the first 5" screen on a phone.

Regarding the battle of wits going on: You all seem to be forgetting that Samsung has more than just consumer electronics. This gives a nice overview of Samsung through the years.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Afpey7Eldo

I'm in such tears right now. You destroyed that loser. I almost cut him some slack and was about to tell him, well Apple did invent FireWire or the standard IEEE-1394 standard. But then I would have to bust his bubble and remind him, Apple didn't create that standard alone.

Er, no. Samsung was a long, LONG way from first to put a stylus in a phone. That happened almost a decade earlier with Ericsson, followed 18 months later by Sony-Ericsson. Long before the word iPhone existed and back when smartphones were used almost solely by nerds and geeks. :-)

I've never said Samsung invented anything, but they surely make plenty of products from scratch. Apple only designs a CPU. Someone else has to fabricate them. Samsung does both. Apple only has an OS, which they didn't invent. It is made of up several OS'. Samsung also has a NIX based operating system. Samsung has factories that not only make products, they assemble them too. How many does Apple have? Apple makes all the money in the world, because they don't have the overhead a true OEM does. And so what. Apple chose a different business model. Apple did with hardware, what Microsoft did with software. They made the biggest of their money off how they started. And both got into the game on the other side. Microsoft now makes hardware other than Mice and Keyboards. Apple now has applications. Both Apple and Microsoft uses 3rd parties to make stuff. Samsung does too. But most of its stuff is made by them. So yeah, Samsung makes a lot of stuff from scratch including the World Tallest Building. There are some thing in the world that have more value than money. Most times it's what you do with it. Apple decided to take the money and build a spaceship that doesn't fly. While Samsung built the world tallest building. Oh and every part of that building was made from scratch. Apple only designed their headquarters. Someone else built it. Samsung designed and built the Khalifa. And Samsung also designs and builds their own building too. And their factories and more. Apple? But you don't have to make a product from scratch to have a good product. But it helps.

"I've never said Samsung invented anything, but they surely make plenty of products from scratch.". Name me a Samung product made from scratch that has zero outside input.

About everything that Apple has is Samsung tech

I'm pretty sure each smartphone is a copy - as concept - of the original iPhone.

More innovative than any Iphone in the last 5-7 years even with all the FOLD issues :D Thats facts. Go read reviews people are loving the folding screen concept its the next big thing. Samsung and Huawei are the big players who test it till its safe for Apple to jump in and they will probably buy all the hardware needed from Samsung or BOE.
