it is not very surprising, the boss of one company speaks negatively about products of the other company. But Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, it makes it very fur in an interview. He thinks Android tablets worthless, partly because manufacturers really customize the system and very few applications are optimized. Tim Cook as CEO of Apple, of course, need to be aware of tablets that are not a big fan ‘his’ run iOS, but in an interview with The Wall Street Journal he shows a lot of themselves heard, especially on Android tablets. First, he calls it terrible that Android is adjusted by manufacturers such as Amazon (the Kindle series) and Samsung (well, that I think everyone understands), for example. According to Cook, they customize Android because they do not like the standard version (which you will find include the Nexus series) good enough. Personally, I think they mainly do to stand out from other manufacturers themselves and apply? Now how can you do better than unique content and applications, and a modified appearance Anyway, Tim Cook is clearly not a fan of the skins that manufacturers apply, he finds it strange that offers almost every other Android tablet experience. He praised iOS also for its simplicity (after all, every iPad that runs on the same iOS version looks the same), but that will not come as a surprise.
Cook was not talking about the offer “for tablet-optimized apps” for Android. It’s true that iOS has a lot more tablet-optimized applications, but that’s because there are only two formats are iPads. Android tablets come in all sizes, which make an appropriate application is a lot more difficult. After all, it must be optimized for each screen size, both small (7 “) and large (12.2″). Cook praised the Apple App store, which now has 500,000 iPad-optimized applications, while the Play Store – according to the best man – has only about 1000. I – and many other journalists – agree that Cook commits a big mistake here, because there are more than ‘about 1000′. Finally, Cook named most applications you can find on the Android tablet, just ‘stretched smartphone applications. Clear.
We conclude with another statement of Cook, namely ‘that Android is comparable to Europe. ” Here he means that Android is a collective name for tablets that differ greatly among themselves, while they run on the same operating system. So you have Android tablets in different colors, sizes, price ranges from many manufacturers. Cook like this, but nothing but Android users are just happy. The more different tablets, the more choice, right?
conclusion, the interview that Tim Cook has praised negatively about the operating system’s major rival Google, and his own company. Of course, anyone can say what he / she wants, and it is logical that Cook is not a fan of Android, but personally I think some go too far for him. What do you think?
