Big technology companies such as RIM, HTC, Samsung and Nokia are very angry at Apple. And this is great for Apple. Why? Here’s a simple reason.
Apple decided to open up to the public’s eyes their secret labs. Journalists, or I shall I put this more appropriately, bloggers that were on the campus on this very day, were rewarded by being the first to take a glance into the labs.
Now, their articles are nicer than they were. MG Siegler is being honest.
If Apple really wanted to silence critics, they have a place to do so. I’ve now seen it with my own eyes.
Pro-Apple bloggers were once hesitant, now they’re fully backing Apple.
Apple created a sick system. This visit being the reward. Now, fanboys all around the world are debating whether the antenna videos are true and if BlackBerries are the best smartphones.
The tech world is now focused on something else than on the antenna issue—what do companies answer to Apple saying everybody’s having the same problem? And soon, the debate will be something Apple can control.
Apple bled a little bit by its own fault. Now, Apple is being accused by other companies and so, Fanboys are soothing Steve by fighting for him.
Steve, give me the power.
TechCrunch’s founder Michael Arrington was debating with John Gruber, MG Siegler and Jason Kincaid about Apple’s press conference. The video is above.
He says that there were two key messages from the event. First, that there’s no iPhone antenna issue and second that Apple was going to give out free cases but the second point is paradoxical since there is no iPhone antenna issue.
Well.
First. Steve Jobs apologized. “We are not perfect” is kind of the most honest way Jobs could apologize. The Economist’s tech blog seems to have noticed it, too. So, there is a problem. Jobs, in a childish way, of course, said that other phones have the same problem etc. In what possible way, Mr. Arrington, does that mean that the iPhone has no problems? In no way.
Second — Case made. Apple wants to keep its users happy, so they give them cases.
