          Find a witch to resurrect Steve for god sake to shoot this cook guy. he needed more in restaurant than this. Lets review what he achieved since poor jobs died:
          1. He screwed up with screen size and dug up iPad's grave.
          2. He captures blurry pic with OIS (super bowl) ( i swear 5 years old kid could do better )
          3. He blocks people who make fun of him ( i want my mama )
          4. He made Apple a JOKE!

              It's amazing how many low-information fanboys here think Samsung created Air Touch or were even the first phone company to use it. It's also Amazing how many people don't realize how many times Immersion has done this before.

                  Better in life to use only their own software, program, etc., which you are doing in our own laboratories, and you will have to submit documents to the patent owner, for a PATENT in the Bureau of inventi stock. If you have never worked in this mode, you will have enough problems and troubles.
                  Just as in this case with Apple.

                    Anonymous, 13 Feb 2016No. The air view doesn't require touching and if you touch ... moreYes but he was talking about the features, which they stole from Samsung. The article says where they stole the implementation from.

                      Yeah, so I checked out Immersion's website. As far as I can tell they produce software 'toolkits' for haptic devices. They don't appear to list clients, or have a product road-map and the website looks like it was cobbled together on wordpress. T is technology, R is for research, O is for opportunism, L is for litigious, L is for liar...

                        I see they are as bad as Samsung when it comes to copying things apparently....btw I've only owned Samsung phones so don't pin me as an Apple fanboy.

                          AnonD-491808, 13 Feb 2016Apple 3D Touch Features copycat from Samsung Air View (GALA... moreThose are different from 3D touch by Apple. The way 3D touch works similar to Android's long press. But anyway, Apple already try to patent those features (air view, air gesture) which ifans call it gimmicky when Samsung introduced for galaxy S4 in 2013. Apple moto is sit, wait, get idea (copy someone's idea and shuffle it around).

It doesn't have feedback, nor action. And I have always turned it off. Samsung knows no one cared that why that thing was removed. It was only to preview stuff . Where'd touch is more like an advance touch gesture

                                        Aww the one thing Apple has done since 2007 that they can call innovation, would suck if it's taken away from them.
