Again I'd like to refer you to the picture, sums up Apple brand loyalty nicely

No they didn't, 3g touch screens were about way before apple- apple are not innovators, apple are merely quite good a packaging things up and marketing them. That's why they manufacture no hardware themselves. Apple's biggest manufacturer? Samsung!

As any company would be that overcharges for their products, just because they look pretty

[chiefnerd]

Mainly due to the fact hey have zero corporate resonsibilty ie they are greedy. Best example is iTunes- it is larger than the entire recording industry but does not give a penny to encourage new talent. They push their screen manufacturer so hard that employees commit suicide. Apple year end charitable donations? 0%- Google gives billions as do Microsoft. Even Donald Trump gives more.

Apple are just the number 1 worldwide example of pure corporate greed. They do 1 thing very well and that is marketing and all that is is smoke and mirrors- nothing more. It has been shown they did not even develop the inital iPhone design but was 'borrowed' from Sony a fact that was disallowed in court because it was submitted too late but a fact nonetheless.

Sorry to be a photography geek but that's not a macro lens in the iPhone video...it's a 50mm f1.4.

You're not supposed to notice things like that while you're rofling

[chiefnerd]

To be even more pedantic- it doesn't mention a macro lens, just a 50mm macro focus- thats usually handled by the macro setting on your on phone or camera lol

[THP]

But it's a camera and I'm a geek, Arlow!

"And the inclusion of a 50mm macro lens."

It's not a setting on a 5D, it's a lens.

[chiefnerd]

They say inclusion of 50mm macro focus not lens
