Should Apple Be Accused of “Stealing”?

After Apple announced the iOS7, an argument concerning Apple “stealing” features is a hot topic among people these days. It is not the first time that this kind of argument raises when something new is released,so is it really reasonable to accuse Apple of stealing? The answer is simply; No. We can understand why people complain about Apple “stealing”. People are disappointed with Apple’s new operating system as most of the new features are already seen in Android’s phone. However, this is quite common in the technology realm, as we have seen so many cases like this before. Many things we are now familiar with are original ideas of someone else. For example, if someone took one idea and made it perfect, he would be considered as the leader of this trend and he will surely be imitated. So this is what Apple is experiencing now, we could say that Apple is not so trend-leading in some degree, but Apple shouldn’t be accused of “stealing” ideas from Android if Apple claimed they are the first one to offer these features. We would love to hear your opinion on this so you are more than welcome to leave a comment.
