By reacting with a apparently hastily-written e-mail and Web page, Apple displays that, yes, Samsung is on its brain. But are both businesses out of really new concepts.
Apple is sending email's to persons who acquired iPhone 5 inquiring them in which way they like their iPhone 5.
dispatching a long list of why they will love certain thing that they currently own appeared a forced and rushed answer to the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S4.
Of course, when the iPhone 5 came out, Samsung was swift to conceive a panting laundry-list of alleged assessments between its phone and Apple's.
Yes, right down to its lack of S-Beam. anything that is.
It appears like standard operating method when a competitor's phone comes out to interpret to people why yours is still better.
Yet to glimpse Apple do it appears somehow strange. Just as referring to Siri as "it" in this e-mail seemed strangely hurtful to that overly harassed assistant.
It's not as if the Samsung Galaxy S4 had persons opening their agency and restroom windows and ululating to extremes.
The general agreement appears to have been that this was another pleasant phone -- if you like those sort of phones.
There was a similar answer after the launch of the iPhone 5.
But for Apple to seem it desires to offer this hasty reminder of its phone's virtues does propose an acknowledgment that the Galaxy S4 is giving it more than a little fear.
It is, really, a assess of respect to the affray when you have to mention (however obliquely) to it in your connection.
Regardless of what Apple's solicitors might want to tell referee Lucy Koh, these teletelephones are different. They have two distinct aesthetics, two distinct mind-set.
although, it may well be that both Apple and Samsung are actually out of concepts that will move customers to paroxysms, so they're now organising for a somewhat grubby battle.
Apple's fast answer will likely not be accompanied by any large advertising crusade. That really would be an extremely public acknowledgement that Samsung is beginning to consume Apple's nerves.
But it does suggest that any upcoming iPhone 5S may not exactly be a magical transformation either.
It might also propose that it will shortly be time to redefine what a phone is -- certain thing Samsung has tried to do, rather effectively, with the Galaxy Note.
With the next iPhone that comes out, you can be certain that Samsung will conceive some sort of publicity that will denigrate it as, who understands, little, featureless and just not plasticky sufficient.
But, in the end, possibly persons just aren't as stimulated about phones as they used to be.
