While yesterday we celebrated the 15th anniversary of the very first iPhone, journalist Joanna Stern from the Wall Street Journal took the opportunity to share the new documentary she produced on the subject. During the latter, we can hear people like Greg Joswiak, Apple's head of marketing and Tony Fadell, one of the "fathers" of the iPhone.
Part of the interview concerns the time when Apple offered phones with much smaller screens than the competition,especially under Android. A period that Joswiak has not forgotten, who assures that Apple was not behind technologically, quite the contrary.
According to him, the Apple brand had its technologies stolen by Samsung and others who then made up for their technological gap by producing “boring” phones in its own words. He notably accused the Korean giant of having made “bad copies” of iPhones of the time.
One of the sentences that stood out the most from this interview was also said by Joswiak, the latter believes that Android manufacturers have simply “put a bigger screen” around Apple's stolen technologies.
The Galaxy S4 is the iPhone's biggest rival?
A vision of history that does not please everyone, and certainly not the main interested party Samsung. If we knew the Apple brand was in competition with the Asian giant, relations seemed better recently, as the offer expanded under Android andSamsungno longer seemed like the only opponent to beat, but like one among others.
As a reminder, Samsung chose a 5-inch screen on its Galaxy S4, a revolution in 2013, while the iPhone 4 only offered a 4-inch screen. A real difference for the time. We had to wait for Apple's first major change of direction in the history of the iPhone with the arrival ofiPhone 6 and 6 Plusto see the apple brand get closer to the 5-inch mark.
