More like Apple copies an android feature that is more than a decade old then claims it as some kind of innovation.

slaps a buzzword on it and makes a trillion. Can't believe some iphone users consider widgets modetn

My old boss would always buy the new IPhone the day it came out and brag about features and a lot of the times I would be scratching my head being like how is that different then what I have on my 4 year old android Galaxy 6??

They just got widgets? Widgets have been on Android since my first smart phone in 2011 at the very least

Now they do, but the iPhone was revolutionary when it was released. Apple literally changed the world with their invention.

[-] Whippen@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

A lot of people forget the early days.

Android had copy/paste first, Apple didn't for a long time.

Android had MMS support first, Apple didn't for a long time.

Android had multi tasking apps first, apple didn't for a long time.

Android allowed app store apps to duplicate inbuilt apps, like web browsers, music players, email clients. Apple banned these for a long time.

I remember having to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS to have swipe down toggles we now know as normal today. It was called SB settings from cydia. I'm pretty sure this was also standard on Android. And file manager.

Android was a poor comparison when iPhone first released. I had one of them. It was neat because it was new, but realistically it was a piece of shit compared to the iPhone. I'm no Apple fan boy, but they genuinely changed the world in many ways

When iPhone first released... it was a piece of shit compared to the HTC Dream with Android. The main improvement Apple did, was removing the keyboard.

If there were slide qwerty phones I'd still be buying them to this day.

I miss them so much. Those, and IR transmitters being common, That's a major one to me. Almost 20 years ago, I had control of every single T.V, DVD player, VCR, etc. That came my way thanks to the palm TX, it had IR and a nice little app where you'd just choose the make/model of the device you're trying to control and bam, your screen became the remote you needed. Iirc the buttons also could be used so you didn't necessarily have to do everything touch screen.

Now on my super fancy modern smart phone I couldn't dream of doing that. Hell, I even struggle to use it as a remote for my Roku because I use my device as a hotspot and Roku requires both devices be on the same network. Why can't we figure out how to do what we did so easily 2 decades ago?!
