Ok I want to ask iPhone users something. I have the 4s and I love ios6 ... Sh1t is just too smooth. But one thing I don't understand is why is apple so damn proprietary , it's 2012 and iPhone has no external USB port , a custom charging port ( the f@ck?) , JUST got 4G capabilities , and you have to use ITunes... No way around it. I don't get it brehs, I'm not trolling , honest questions that I just don't understand about apple and the IPhone .
Apple makes MONEY off of their proprietary technology bruh. This isn't something new for them. FireWire, iTunes, the original FairPlay DRM, Thunderbolt, etc. are all designed by Apple to:
A). Control the end to end user experience. Steve Jobs infused within Apple's DNA the basic need to have full power over the unit and how it is used. This is to insure quality and make sure that everything works exactly as they want it to.
B).Apple would make NO additional revenue by incorporating a universal charging port, but they make TONS of money from licensing for companies to utilize the new Lightening connector. Apple makes money every time somebody signs up to use iCloud and stream music from iTunes Match, so why would they add expandable storage?
C). Apple has never truly been an "inventor" as much as they've been amongst the best "INNOVATORS" in technology. When 4G debuted it was a battery hog plain and simple, plus the chips used were too big to implement in Apple's famous "Thin is Beautiful" way of designing its products. Steve Jobs was NOTORIOUS for not compromising on design or battery life for
anything. Apple has pretty much never been at the forefront of newer technologies that they weren't directly involved with, so 4G, NFC, etc will all take a backseat in importance until Apple feels like its prime and ready to be used.
Just go on Amazon and search "ipad keyboard"....some are keyboards built into a cases and some are stand alones. I know Logitech makes a stand alone keyboard with a stand.
