How come none of the other phone brands do gold phones, fingerprint unlocking or even just in general get serious about touchscreens/smartphones until apple started doing them?

Come to think of it they we had nothing but shit mp3 players and shitty PDA's before the iPod and iPad

Well that's just your opinion man.

Because apple are the only ones who bother creating completely new products for end-user instead of just rehashing same old shit with slightly better specs, then pour enough money into marketing said new products and also make them pleasant and easy to use and nice to look at. Literally no one else does that, most vendors just stick some random hardware in some random plastic shell and code some poor-ass software for it. The result is a mess usually.
Google and ms try to do that too lately but without a big success yet.

Apple doesn't offer micro SD and Samsung does the same

Your privacy has been raped, children.

Grow up and realize you don't need your shitty little toys for anything. Common sense and planning ahead of time like a mature, reasonable person is all you need.

A little convenience is never worth your lack of privacy.

Galaxy S5+ has finger print. Probably the new notes
>>
>>51714013
Lmao if you ever tried a gs5 fingerprint scanner you would know they jammed in an unfinished and poorly tested product just to copy apple
This shit only works like 20% of the times, and when it does it takes much more time to unlock than a classic 3x3 grid sign
>>
>>51711982
it's not that nobody had ever thought of that.
golden things, like dumb phones, have existed for a long time. fingerprint scanners have been on laptops since long before the iphone came along.

but because of apple's reputation as an innovative company, they act as a trendsetter. once apple starts doing something, demand for that thing WILL be there. people will want gold phones or fingerprint scanners or whatever apple decides to do next. doesn't matter if they really invented it or if it even makes any sense. apple did it, so it's cool, so they want it.

Antenna lines, if it was solid metal the radio performance would suffer.

Because contrast and the paint would just wear off making it look like shit.
Yes, antennas are made of metal, but they must be isolated from the chassis.

lmao this

samsung pay is not going to take off anywhere and people who live in a first world country like europe or australia can already use NFC to pay on any eftpos reader with their banking app of choice.

>tfw the fingerprint readers on android are a fucking joke compared to touchid on the iphone 6s and 6s plus

why do they suck so fucking much? I can literally tap the home button on the 6s within milliseconds and it will register my fingerprint and unlock the device.

How good is that? I mean you get 2 layers of security and it acts as if your phone is unlockable at all times with no passcode for ease of use but give it to someone else and its a brick.

>>51711982
Sony Z5 you thick cunt.

Now fuck off.

I knew a guy who made a lot of money recoloring iphones gold for people.

He was mad as shit when apple announced their own versions.
