    Umm. Reinventing counts as innovation, rihgt?

    It doesn't count in my opinion, but that doesn't matter because they don't reinvent either.

    It should though. Touchscreen were popularized by iPods

    It doesn't though, touchscreen iPods were first made almost a decade ago and so that doesn't matter these days. Not only that, but becoming popularized by Apple doesn't automatically mean they invented or reinvented that thing.

    Well Thomas Edison didn't totally invent the lightbulb but he is credited as the inventor. Same thing applies here.

    He took other people's ideas and claimed them for himself for the most part, that doesn't make him the inventor just because he's credited for it. Why should I praise him as the inventor of the light bulb when he isn't? Why should I praise Apple for being innovative when they aren't?
    I don't say Bell invented the telephone just because he was credited as the inventor for well over a hundred years.

    Only 2 reasons:
    1. They are meant to break over time just so you get new ones. Android lasts longer and costs less
    2. Let's face it guys, they're expensive. (Not comparatively to Mac computers).

    WyattStonhouse How can you hate Mac computers?

    These are all just good marketing strategies.
    look at it this way. If you're only goal in life was to make phones and loads of money, what would you do? assuming that your product is awesome and everybody seems to not care how expensive it is.

    But my point is, what makes it any better than Android? Android devices have more apps.

    more, but not polished.
    Quality > Quantity

    I've looked in the app store for iOS, most of them are junk apps so there really isn't any quality over quantity there.

    I personally think that Apple devices are inferior because you have much less freedom as to what you can do with them. There is not much customization available.
    Android has a lot more tweaking options to optimize and to personalize it.
    As far as Apple in general goes, the reason I don't like it is because Apple products only work well with other Apple products. You can have PC's built with components from tons of different companies to make it better, but with Apple, everything has to be Apple.
