AnonD-126854, 03 Jul 2016Yes you are. Or just ignorant. I've used split view on S... moreNo its not. I've been using both apple and samsung products. And the split view in samsung is no where near what apple has. And it is not supported by all apps. Very few apps support it. Actually it's safe to say. That unless it's one of the big tech companies app or a top 100 in all app store app it would not support samsung split view. I bet it's even less than a 100 appa

    Patents, patents everywhere. But all I can see are patents just for the words and the names of those features. What about inventing something for real?

      Apple patented those BSs in Hong Kong, because nowhere else can.
      Even in US will be spanked for those 'patents'

        Or just ignorant.
        I've used split view on Samsung devices for years.
        And it's light years ahead from what see on iPad Pro.

                        In the i7 they will use OLED creen and patient it...i just hope that companies,like Apple will bankrupt, because they are trying to stop tech revolution by patient wars etc.
                        What if Google will patient word "Smartphone" and suid Apple for this? Samsung then can patient everything they inventing, including fingerprint sensor that not they'r(i almost sure).

                              mir, 02 Jul 2016Split view is not their invention. Nor were they the first ... moreBoth are correct. but they were the first to make it right.
                              and no. I'm not a fanboy.

                                Maybe in three years from now people will think Apple is the first one to make this feature mainstream and people will call other companies like Samsung, LG, Microsoft a dirty idea stealer. And then other people on the web will be like " Na'ah Samsung does it first." And Apple fans be like " Apple does it better." And Apple fans will win because they are many Apple fans on the world and they love Apple and it's 'new' feature.

                                      Apple apologists must have forgotten how Apple stole ideas from Appstore 3rd party devs. Like the notification system and weather widget animation.
