What ideas? Android has never looked like iOS. On the other hand iOS has taken a good few ideas from Android.

Really? Apple copied LG in the first place for the design of the iphone. They have then copied Android and are suing every OEM who designs an Android based phone even though most times there is nothing to sue over. They attempt to block sales. Make up pictures to block sales. That is stifling innovation and its apple thats doing it.

“ If they designed something that wasn't pretty much a direct copy and and bettered Apple's products fair and square then they would have actually innovated.”
Which has been done and apple hate it. Hence the suing.

“ Apple protecting its patents does not stifle at all.. Even the outcomes of these disputes have lead to the companies involved to actually innovate to get the same features without direct copying... Which I do believe is innovating!”
Of course it does!! How can anyone patent a bloody case for goodness sake?

“Just copying and hoping its good enough isn't.”
Apple have managed it for years so far....

“Also I love how people knock Apple for having less of a amazing spec sheet it doesn't matter it does what it's designed to with lesser spec meaning it's a better rounded, better coded device. Every Android product I've owned has been buggy, granted apple has been more buggy of late but it's getting attention as they have been slightly off mark but still way better than products I've owned from Samsung, HTC etc.. The battery issue for example my 4S still outlasts my friends Galaxy S2 and Sensation but apparently there is a battery issue.... Laughable.”
Thats odd since my S2 outlasts my old iphone 4 and my dads 4S by a good day ....
As for the buggy bit i dont know where to start with that! lol

“Remember this..
There was little market for 'MP3' players before Apple brought out the iPod then the whole market became viable”
Rubbish. There was always MP3 players. Just happened apple came out with at the time an absolute cracker. Now in terms of decent sound quality and screens they are bottom of the pile yet still popular. Go figure....

“There was a small market for Smart Phones until Apple brought out the iPhone.”
Agreed, but the market was already becoming popular with them. Apple just gave it a quicker start.
Quote:
“There was barely a market for tablets until the iPad was launched.”
Agreed but remember, there still is. Most people i know at least who bought an ipad or any tablet have sold it on though as its pretty much useless for anything other than a quick surf.

“Reason it just worked..”
As does any other device. Most imbecilic quote ever.

“Innovation by Apple has created innovation in the Market. Stop hating Apple as they were not the lazy ones and have actually got companies to start thinking big.. Companies that didn't were left behind.. Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola etc who were all doing ok until the dumb phone was no longer the market to be in!”
What innovation? MP3 players were already around, phones were already around and tablets were kicking about as well.
Apple did kick them off in a big way although it was going to happen eventually on its own, but innovate they did not.
