Wireless charging comes to mind, a friend in my group chat said it’s nice to see Apple innovating and I was like… You know that’s not new tech, right? To which he responded: “It’s new for the iPhone, so it’s innovation for them”. I facepalmed so hard.
I’ve switched over to iPhone myself now as of about ~4 years ago, but I don’t delude myself into thinking it’s particularly innovative. I switched over 1) before Android flagships started getting more than 2-3 years of software support and 2) because Android Auto absolutely sucked ass in my car, half the display was the AA logo, probably because they didn’t support wide screens at the time. It was simply a better value proposition for me back then and now I just enjoy the convenient and familiar UI and not having to worry about a software update changing my phone from OxygenOS to ColorOS (FUCK you, Oneplus! It was a perfectly useable phone on Android 10 and now again with a custom ROM on 15, but 11 or 12 or whatever fucked it up real bad)
Your friends said wireless charging was an innovation.
They asserted apple does it.
I’m trying to get some understanding of your statement is all 🤷
What u do see if Apple doing things that everyone says is awful and thank god android isn’t doing it…. Just for android and manufacturers to follow suit.
Then tack on the marketing hype cycle presenting it like it never existed before and it’s some revolutionary technology.
Examples?
