Apple Mocks Droid Bionic in iPhone 4S Announcement

Posted by | 10/04/2011 | 36 Comments

It’s no secret that Apple likes to take shots at its competitors when announcing new products and today’s iPhone 4S announcement was no different with Verizon’s latest and greatest Android handset, the Motorola Droid Bionic, sitting squarely in Apple’s cross hairs. While talking about the iPhone 4S’ upgraded 8MP camera and its features, Apple’s Phil Schiller delved into the competition’s camera options.

And in doing so, he took a jab at Android’s cream of the crop showing a chart that showed off the time that it takes to take the first photo and the time that it takes to go shot to shot.

As you can see, the Motorola Droid Bionic is in last place and is listed amongst the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II, two other major Android phones. Schiller wasn’t done though.

He decided to take a full on shot at the Droid Bionic saying:

I don’t know what Droid Bionic customers have to do between taking pictures… like, go get coffee.

Oddly Schiller left out the slide comparing the iPhone 4S’ network speeds against the 4G LTE speeds that the Droid Bionic offers. Still, this hopefully will serve as a catalyst for Motorola to get their act together in the camera department.

    To be fair, I kind of agree with Apple here, and it’s something I’ve been banging on about for ages.
    Not just phone manufacturers, but actual camera manufacturers have in my opinion have been barking up the wrong tree.
    Rather than chucking ever more pixels at the CCD, I’d rather the camera and phone manufacturers focussed more on speed, and ease of use, and image quality. A good photo needs to be taken – and sometimes if the phone or camera don’t switch on quickly enough, the shot vanishes. Plus, a shot which turns out rubbish is about as much use as an opportunity lost, so rather than having ever bigger rubbish photos, I’d rather have slightly smaller, but higher quality and faster taken shots.

    Mr Schiller doesn’t know what Droid Bionic owners do in the 1 second between taking photos…I don’t know what Apple’s iPhone development team does in the 18 months between product launches…

    Droid Bionic kicked Apples ass all over the place! Apple drop the ball and their fans will still buy it even though they know Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s is the same phone.

    I find it hilarious that Apple had to go all the way down the list of secondary features – to the “speed” of their camera – to find something about their new phone that is better than the competition.

    If I need a fast shot, I won’t be shooting it with my phone, I’ll pick up my Canon 5D Mkii or 7D (3.9 fps, and 7 fps respectively). With my 7D, I’ve taken 11 (18 megapixel) pictures by the time that 2nd (8 megapixel) picture is taken and stored by the “fast” iPhone 4S.

    Poor Apple… :-(
