Apple, on Defense, Slams Samsung [WSJ]

For the first time I feel Apple speech is not fair.

IOS is a fantastic phone OS . The iPhone 5 in itself is beautiful, but :

- iPhone screens are small by today's standards

- IOS lacks handy stuff like customizable widgets

- interactions between apps

- the Android experience really is impressive (on high-end phones)

IOS is facing fragmentation with bigger screens. And we will get these bigger screens. For sure IOS fragmentation will remain minimal as Apple manufactures the hardware as well. IOS fragmentation will involve screen sizes only. As for Android, screen size, hardware manufacturer graphic layer and sometime operators' layer implies numerous levels of fragmentation. 

Now, Apple needs to release a bigger phone, and they will. They need to revamp the OS. We know they will.

Attacking Android before the Galaxy S IV is lame. Apple does not need that. Android may be inferior, but so is Windows compared to OS X.
