I think Apple will come out looking great because they are less likely to release things that suck. It seems smarter to hoard cash right now rather than spending it on hardware for an unproven workload.

Yep, Apple is great at this. There have been times when random Android phones were ahead feature wise, but this doesn’t cause Apple to lose its customer base, even when Apple releases the same feature 2–4 years later. The same thing happened with smartwatches, Apple entered that industry late, yet the Apple Watch now dominates the market against well established players

		Even the iPhone itself. They played around a bit with the Newton and Rokr E1, sure, but for the most part they sat back and let everyone else make all the mistakes first.
