Sure, Google has beat them to the punch on some great features, but Apple was a pioneer in this industry.

i don't think people are arguing that Apple hasn't been a bigger overall innovator in cell phones over the past 15 years, just that Apple is lagging way behind today. also, and this was a lot more common in the past than today but still exists, Apple fanboys pretend like the choice not to include already-developed tech in their phones is a better choice....then 3-4 gens later they adopt the tech.

for instance, remember when Apple refused to change the size because 3.5" was "perfect" and Apple knew better?

hell, just look in this very thread with the whole "iMessage" stuff. iMessage may have at one time been forward thinking but it's now old tech. however, apple fanboys IN THIS THREAD, tried a "gotcha" (and were totally incorrect about the tech of Google's messaging which is superior to iMessage). how long until Apple bends the knee and the fanboys start to pretend like they're innovating?

When Apple "invents" something, it's the greatest invention of all time. Nevermind the fact that other manufacturers have already invented that invention. Just watch...the moment Apple embraces in-display fingerprint readers, the media will lose their shite and call it "revolutionary".

The only reason Apple is successful is because they've built a brand around exclusivity. They've become a social status symbol. The first couple of iPhones were amazing and close to flawless. But the software layout grew stale and frustrating to use over time. Very little has been done to fix this issue and I refuse to buy another iPhone until there is a complete revamp of iOS. There should be absolutely no reason for me to have to leave the Phone App in order to mess with the Phone App settings in 2020. None.
