We all notice that Apple is very late in introducing some new technologies, in which other companies preceded it. Is Apple deliberately delaying its introduction, or is it monitoring these technologies and monitoring their weaknesses in order to make them progress perfectly? Are there companies that do that? Follow us.

Apple is delaying technology on purpose

It seems that Apple is starving its customers, then providing them the technology perfectly in order to satisfy their hunger. Certainly, Apple has a roadmap for developing and presenting its products in a way that competes with and aggressively those of other companies. It certainly wants marketing points for itself that are not burned by other companies. However, it delays presenting some points from others for some purely technical reasons or reasons related to other legal problems.

Perhaps one of the reasons for Apple's delay in technology is to maintain a simple, well-controlled production line after it undergoes extensive laboratory tests. So, you can imagine transferring technologies to production lines quickly after a few trials, then looking for other advantages and introducing them to the production line and so on, with the aim of providing marketing points and in order to get a head start on the rest of the companies, the matter will undoubtedly become confusing and will happen with good consequences. It also happened with Samsung in many products and its speed in introducing many products into production lines, which led to an agricultural failure, and we all know this.

There is no doubt that Apple has its failures, but compared to the others it is negligible.

Focus on a single product

In general, Apple prefers to produce one model of iPhone devices with the same shape and the same hardware, except for some marketing points such as a larger screen size, advanced camera technologies, and so on. While competitors like Samsung offer dozens of different models. Despite this, we find that Apple had encountered a problem in providing enough OLED screens when it wanted to provide one model that contains that type of screen, which is the iPhone X! Therefore, Apple has resorted to alternatives to those screens, such as LCD screen development Even in its latest iPhone XR. Why? Because it focuses well on the quality of this product according to its own standards and different from others.

Given the facial recognition system

It was found long before the release of the first iPhone. This technology has been in place since 1964 to work on computers! Then it developed until it was introduced in mobile devices for the first time in the world in Japan in 2005 in a “special security device” under the name of 'OKAO Vision Face Recognition Sensor' by OMRON. Then this technology was used for a decade on various devices. Then it became popular since the release of the iPhone X in 2017, which provided this technology in a very advanced way from others in terms of speed, reliability and security compared to other phones.

Looking at the iPad

We find that Apple was very late in issuing any upgrade, almost three years, until the iPad Pro 2018 was released with unprecedented technical specifications, but it will remain ahead of others at times.

Apple and 5G technology

Some recent reports mentioned that Apple's 5G technology will take some time and may be delayed for years. And that is after Intel failed to provide this technology as it should or as Apple wanted it. It is technically known that these chips are the most complex compared to the rest of the chips in smartphones. We have mentioned it in news on Margin last week That Apple and Qualcomm have reached an agreement for several years in which Qualcomm will supply chips to Apple, on top of which is the 5G chip. And surely it will take years to design and test that chip.

The experts, led by Gus Richard, a chipset expert, said, “It is likely that Qualcomm is the only company on the planet that can provide a 5G modem in a phone by next year,” because manufacturing these chips is a very complex process compared to other processors, because it is based on By connecting the phone to cellular networks, this is other than browsing the Internet over time, downloading applications and making phone calls, and in order for these functions to work smoothly and at the required speed, it requires extensive knowledge that is difficult to obtain. This is in addition to the development of other components that serve that segment.

Apple actually started working on that technology about a year ago, and it usually takes at least two years to manufacture a product and a year and a half to test. It is reported that Apple includes about 200 engineers in its modem project at the present time, and intends to employ hundreds of others. Experts predict that Apple's 5G technology will not be launched until at least 2024.

Apple and iPhone foldable

It is clear that Apple is not showing any interest yet with these types of phones. Apple is unlikely to enter that competition anytime soon. Although the race is slowly heating up, companies such as Samsung, Royole, Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo have presented their offers this year, and Samsung, Huawei and Royole have confirmed the launch time of their phones during this year as well, and these phones are Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X and FlexPai. Meanwhile Xiaomi and Oppo are still working on their prototypes.

Imaginary video

With all of this, we find that Apple's thinking is very far from that technology, as it is thinking of providing 5G or providing OLED screens for the upcoming iPhone devices. This is other than developing its phones into things that we find practical more than just presenting a huge phone that bends together, a concept that many do not like. Of people.

And Apple stated that in order to provide a foldable iPhone, there must be solutions to some problems that will occur when folding the screen under different conditions such as cold or heat, as well as bearing that screen for repeated bending times over time. You can review this article to learn more about Apple's claims that foldable screens fail at the present time - Link We definitely saw what happened to the Samsung foldable phone, which soon failed in the hands of the reviewers.

Apple may cancel a product that does not live up to the standards or designs that it has drawn for it until further notice, despite the announcement of its introduction. Like canceling the AirPower charging dock, you can see this article - Link -.

Do you think that Apple is really delaying technology? Do you know other reasons? Let us know in the comments.
