Apple CEO Tim Cook Says OLED Displays are Awful

[JorgenSmith]

Unlike AMOLED which doesn't look like a _TORCH_ in dark places, with an iPhone you can be sure everyone knows how well you are connected and "different" when texting whilst at the movies - assisted by burying the brightness control so far away it just never gets used.

Tim Cook...what is wrong with Apple. LOL

 

[Joe Blo]

Is that Cook ? Or a picture of a gay old woman ?

 

[noobcannon]

OLED is not an apple patent so therefor it sucks. seems legit.

My OLED display set at 50% brightness is bright enough for 98% of the things I do, and I don't need a the resolution of a retina display for 99.9999 % of the things I do. I know that the resolution of the SGS4 exceeds that of iCrap's "retina display". But honestly, that is of no used to me. One thing I really find useful in my smart phone is being able to purchase an extra battery and swap batteries when I need to. I also love the large screen of my phone as it allows me to read all I want without feeling like I need to get a tablet.

No I am not ready to embarrass myself in public with a for morons iCrap product.

WTF is "an amazing experience"? Cook thinks he can match Jobs by using the same kind of adjectives. But it is falling flat. The man is better off doing his own thing.

 

[actionjksn]

What a dick

 

[cmi86]

Damn this guy is just another brainwashed goon just like old steve.

 

[urbanman2004]

Steve should STFU, no cares about a Retina display. The human eye cant even tell the pixel count difference between that and an OLED. Your ranting is hurting the company image

Is it me or does Tim Cook look like that perverted old guy (with the walker) on Family Guy?

He does. But let's not prejudge... Let's post-judge...

Apple is currently courting OLED producers to get screens to use in their new iWatch.

 

[cats_Paw]

Tim cook, steve balmer, and electronic arts will keep amking this world a very entertaining place for a long while.

 

[Krisk7]

Tim Cook is quickly moving up on the popular "love to hate" list.

 

[xcamas]

Retina is better than OLED. People dont care about specs. Isn't OLED spec?

 

[syga]

He does realize that Apple's retina displays are MADE by Samsung, right?

He added that the majority of consumers either don't know or don't care how fast the processor is on a mobile device or PC, which doesn't matter if the experience is great.

Maybe he should have a look at the first iPhone so he can figure out why that device was so incredibly successful and why the company is the technology giant it is today.

The first iphone featured a brand new market with state of the art hardware for its time. With an envelope to expand and grow.

It was not a device that had sub par hardware and an amazing user experience. It had exceptional hardware which enabled a great user experience to boot. Not to mention it was a new way of doing mobile communication that had a learning curve compared to traditional cell phones.

As people catch on to your technology, they want to do more with it. Once people started to get comfortable with the personal computer, they used it for more. In the 80s and 90s, nerds "played" with computers, now everyone uses one.

Because they can take desktops, slap a shiny case on it, hire someone to do their hardware development, then sell it?

I already dislike Apple because of their marketing strategies and horrifying agenda, now they are babbling away their frustration with stupid remarks!

Darn it, only if i could convice the people around me of the great Piece O'S* this company is...

All they have in their favor is the community, formed by robots who have been brainwashed so througly, they even come forth to defend their "beloved gadget brand"

It didn't feature "state of the art" hardware, but it did make a new market.

 

[NyRoc]

Real gangsters don't have to tell people they are gangsters and the better of the two displays doesn't need to be touted as better. Seems to me like hes being pressured to tout just how much better retina is. I love my gs3 and I will never get an iphone, specially if apple users and the chief are this pathetic..

If anything you need MORE powerful hardware to power all those fancy GUIs and animations

You don't need to twice the brightness if you display can show much better black levels. It's contrast levels that matter. My smartphone with an OLED display already goes much higher than I would ever need. He's just defending the old ways. Nothing new, nothing true.
