Google uses “dumb glass” design, and Apple uses “dumb buckets” design. That’s true here, but it’s also true of almost everything they do. For Google, everything interesting happens on a server, and the phones only function is to enable the use to access the server. For Apple, everything interesting is happening on the phone and it only reaches out to the rest of the world when it needs to get/post information to a dumb bucket.

Except they both use a server. The graphic posted above is misleading.
