Apple users bash new iPhone 15: ‘Innovation died with Steve Jobs’::Smart phone fans are griping about Apple’s new devices since the arguably anti-climactic announcement of the forthcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus on Tuesday.
NeXt was founded by jobs when he got kicked out of apple. Then, apple acquired NeXT, and jobs once again became CEO. So NeXT was basically jobs throwing a fit. I’d consider them basically apple.
I’m aware of the history, but I don’t think you understood what I wrote. An app store was written for NeXT by an independent company, without Jobs’ involvement.
Would you give credit to Bill Gates for all windows software written while he was CEO?
Sorry the “that jobs knew about” made it seem like apple stole it from NeXT. I was just saying that of course he knew about. It was a company he started and ran because he was mad at Pepsi.
My point was just that NeXT having something is just like apple having something in my opinion.
Mad at Pepsi? Haha that’s a funny way to put it. He got fired when he butted heads with Sculley, the former PepsiCo president, that he had hired, and the board sided with Sculley.
Giving credit to Apple/NeXT for software made by a different company is creative. The same logic applied to Microsoft makes things interesting.
