It's funny, because Android is the only other mobile OS competitor.

OT: It was honestly only a matter of time before they did this, I believe.

Its also funny that Samsung makes the chips in the iPhone. Team Android for the win.

It's quite amazing how both opposing platforms need each other to exist.

As @Customer mentioned above, It was only a matter of time before this happened.

At this point, Apple devices are only such by the brand name, and maybe the OS. That's it. Apple touts themselves as something special, but really, they use the same parts as every other brand, and usually weaker specs at that.

I think companies are too busy hating each other nowadays to actually get shit done.

Like the space race. Communists had better rocketships, and we had better technology. Imagine if we stopped all the bickering at that point and did something for ourselves?

Did something *together*. I know, right? Unimaginable.
