of course. We, the 1% of technical people on lemmy, we know it. General people only know that apple innovates first, the rest are bad copycats. In general, everything becomes incredibly popular only after apple implements it.
Emoji, nfc payments, third party keyboard, copy and paste, widgets, internet browsers that aren’t a skin of the system browser, wireless charging, 4k video recording it’s all stuff that come to android years or decaded before apple, yet the average people is always thinking that apple is first
What he said has merit and it also depends on the region. I had a person insist iPhones used type C charging in 2022. I did not want to argue with stupid.
The twist here is that Android was a blackberry competitor, they redid the whole UX after the iPhone announcement. You can read interviews with the original Android devs on the subject.
There are features that came first to Android, and features that came first to iOS, but the iPhone is what kicked off the current paradigm.
But it’s also technically correct that from day 1 Android supported multiple methods of typing, which allows to quickly pivot from physical keyboard to on screen. And it was also flexible in multiple ways.
While Apple was patenting the size of the phone and the radius of its corners, Android was launching push notifications, which is what allows companies to send messages and allows for video chat calling.
yes but for general people is apple that innovated first, the others are bad imitations

Bear in mind that Apple phones are the default.
In your country.
Nobody else’s.
