As a mobile app developer, I lost count of how many times Android would implement something New And Shiny, and then Apple would come along, sometimes years later, implement that same thing for iOS and declare and market it as Magical and Revolutionary. Usually the iOS one would be a better one, because they'd let Android work most of the bugs out, but I don't recall too many things that Apple did that had never been seen before.

    Yes. I remember being argued down that "we don't need copy and paste! That's not an important feature!". Smh

    Right click!? Two mouse buttons are way too confusing for Mac users!

    What's the key combo for right click on macos, if your track pad and mouse aren't working? No one knows... Or can tell me. They always say "jUsT gEt aNothER mOUse"... Yeah dickhead, I'm on a plane, what's the key combination?

    Windows it's shift+f10.

    This is so true.

    For 10 years (2011 to 2021) I carried both an Android phone (personal) and an iPhone (work provided). Both phones were updated about every 2 years.

    Over those years I've watched IOS get closer and closer to Android. The funny thing is Android has also been creeping towards IOS in some areas, though that is to a lesser extent than the other way around.

    In recent years they've gotten pretty close to each other in basic functionality.

    I still prefer Android, but IOS is much less annoying to use than it was a decade ago.

    Guy at work literally laughed when I said iOS totally ripped off android navigation, thought Apple did that, pulled up a YT vid of when gesture navigation started, he walked away with his head down.

    Then of course I followed him around going on about restricted Bluetooth for years, NFC chips they couldn't use, how long ago the first Google wallet came out, and of course, how I can move my icons out of the way so I can actually see my wallpaper, which is too advanced for the apple devs LOL.

    But agreed, iPhones are half descent now, great hardware, just wish people could actually use it the way they wanted to .
