    suggest to their customers that it’s new and innovative

    I’m a big Apple critic too but to be fair that message reads pretty neutral. Where do you see the claim it’s new and innovative?

      I suppose the fact that they feel the need to announce it rather than to just do it.

      Anyway this is fairly standard operations for Apple. They did the same when they added widgets to iOS. Gee wow, guys thanks for adding a feature that has been in Android for about 20 years.

        I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.

        Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.

        Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.

          Their software feature announcements are done at their developer conference. Many times they are telling people who make apple software about features. Apple developers don’t care they Android had something first. They develop for Apple and need to know what Apple products do.

        Honestly, if they didn’t announce it, would their users even realise it was added? As much as I dislike Apple, I feel like announcing the feature makes sense.
