The ingoing assumption for most folks when looking at industries is: without protection from copying, innovation stops. However, and somewhat counter-intuitively, Raustiala and Sprigman show that rather than stifling industries, there are plenty of examples where industries actually thrive because they are so open to copying.
If Apple ends up winning this case against Samsung — and either stops Samsung from releasing their phones and tablets to the market, or charges them a hefty license fee to do so — does anyone really believe that the market will suddenly become more innovative, or that devices will suddenly become more affordable?
Similarly, if Samsung wins, do you really believe that Apple will suddenly slow its aggressive development of the iPhone and iPad?
All these lawsuits flying around suggest that everyone is already copying each other, anyway. A better solution? That, to me, sounds like an ideal situation not just for consumers — but for the real innovators, too. You have 1 free article s left this month. As an Olympic swimming pool has a capacity of 2, cubic metres aka " one olymp " , that would be the same as four and a half Olympic swimming pools filled entirely with copper.
Imagine that if you can. One other point: it isn't actually a " fine ", because it isn't imposed by or payable to the government it's decided by the jury, payable to Apple. Strictly speaking, these are damages. The story appears to have originated on "humour" site 9gag, which Mobile Entertainment describes succinctly as "a place normally reserved for z-list memes and screenshots of Facebook statuses.
The story actually originated on El Deforma, described by many as "an Onion-like Mexican website" - that is, specialising in fake news. Here's the original ; I'm grateful to Maria Figueroa , who first pointed this out to me.
She also pointed out that the site has a "tip of the day", which on Wednesday had the advice : " Si vas a plagiar noticias, no uses un sitio de noticias falsas como fuente. Advice that Yahoo News could have taken. Turn autoplay off Turn autoplay on. Jump to content [s] Jump to site navigation [0] Jump to search [4] Terms and conditions [8]. If you want a smaller phone in Samsung's lineup, the company removed some features from the larger devices. On the other hand, Apple launched four different iPhone 12 models, all of which have the same basic features, except the larger sensor on the 12 Pro and IBIS-stabilized main camera sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Nevertheless, both Apple and Samsung have some of the best product designs in the entire industry, so they both get very high marks -- both are ranked a 9 in this area.
Historically, I would say both of these companies scored relatively low in terms of product durability -- that's why I have housed these things in OtterBoxes for so long. But, in recent years, Apple and Samsung have upgraded their phones to IP67 and IP68 ratings to make them waterproof and much-improved glass tensile strength, so I would say their products are much more durable.
However, I'm still using cases until someone proves to me they are indestructible. The best iPhone in It trounced it in every conceivable area that was quantifiable. However, right now, for S21 devices in the North American market, Samsung uses Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs that are faster in some raw benchmark areas than the A14, such as memory bandwidth.
It also integrates 5G on the die. In contrast, the A14 Bionic is paired with an older X55 modem chip made by Qualcomm and has to go through interconnects for its data communications pipeline. Apple is a year behind Samsung in 5G systems integration; there's no getting around that. They both have cores that clock out at similar speeds, at a max of about 3 GHz. But we have to remember that the A14 Bionic also has 16 specialized machine learning cores for doing advanced computational photography and computer vision, and it also sports four powerful graphics cores.
Apple highly optimizes its chips for its platform. Apple doesn't go on the open market and source the designs from other semiconductor vendors like Samsung is doing. However, high-frequency adaptive refresh screens do consume a lot more power, which is why the S21 sports a much higher capacity battery -- mAh vs. That could explain why Cupertino has not yet chosen to source these components from Samsung or LG for its own products. The company also manufactures folding displays, which are used on its most expensive Galaxy Z line of devices.
So, while Samsung's smartphones might have higher performance on paper in some areas, Apple's current iPhones' real-world performance with the mix of applications consumers and businesses use on a day-to-day basis often perform faster than Samsung's current generation phones.
And that is because Android is just plain more resource-intensive than iOS is. For that reason, Apple gets a 9, and Samsung gets an 8. While Apple gets very high marks for supply chain management and sourcing components, not to mention that it is a chip designer itself, it's no match for Samsung because it even has to rely on Samsung to provide parts for its products, which includes things such as OLED displays, NAND flash, and DRAM. Additionally, while Samsung uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon in its phones, it fabs those chips for Qualcomm, including the latest Samsung also has SoCs of its design, the Exynos, which it uses in phones it sells in the global marketplace.
So, yes, Apple is extremely competent in this area; it scores an 8, while Samsung scores a Apple blows Samsung out of the water in terms of the native ecosystem. For virtually everything in apps and services, Samsung has to rely on Google.
So, while Google gets an 8 for its ecosystem in terms of the breadth and quality of its service offerings on Android, Apple Scores a 9 because I think its wearables services are vastly superior to what Google has now.
I believe its Music ecosystem and games and financial offerings are also better. I think you can also argue that Google's apps and services as implemented on iOS are as good or work better than the Android version in some cases. Samsung is getting a 6, and even with that, I think we are generous. Part of Apple's magic is how easily all of its products work together without the user having to do much, if anything, to make it work.
Samsung has a line of products from fridges to dryers to phones and smartwatches. But there always seems to be one thing or another that doesn't work right.
They don't control the total experience. Samsung tends to take its cues from Apple when it comes to how well integrated its products should be with each other. However, I am still ranking Samsung lower than Apple; it gets a 7, and Apple gets a 9. The 10 best smartphones.
