In the interview, Schmidt said that the relationship between Apple and Google in the past year is "going well or not", and against the report that the two are in a hostile relationship, "Adult business interacts with each other Although it is similar to the controversy, what actually goes is not to send bombs but a huge trade, "he said. It seems that Apple and Google are talking about each other's strategy strategy.

However, as Schmidt thinks, real losers in such patent war are start-up companies. "Both Apple and Google are doing well.The real loser is Android's young co-founder Andy Rubin, who has been established by Android and later created by a company Danger that was acquired by Microsoft after a new terminal I tried to make a version, but I wonder how they can now obtain patents for the products they offer? "

Schmidt's admiration point is where he acted politely, but Google and Apple still seem to be trying to slack each other. A few years after iOS began to rely on Google Maps, Apple decided to use its own mapping platform with iOS 6 map application. But the map that Apple actually made will result in the user providing an incomplete map, and Tim CookApologies on the websiteIt is also new to memory that I did. This choice that Apple does not rely on Google to create its own map has resulted in widely accepted hostility among the two. In the meantime, Apple did not forget to hurt the various Android makers at the trial. The conflict between Apple and HTC ended in a contract between the two in November, but litigation with Samsung and Motorola is still ongoing.


In addition to the patent dispute, in the holiday season, iPhone and iPad will face directly against Nexus series which is the highest masterpiece of Google, but the battle of these earnings and reputation is very important in the relationship between the two It is thought that it will become.
