bluetooth in ear version of "airpods".
My favorite in this long saga is when iPhone finally started having the drop down taskbar ("notification center") - invented by Google/Android like in 2007 or 2008. iOS didn't have this elemental feature until 2011. LOL And yet, when it came out, the fanboys pissed their britches as if sliced bread had just been invented.
Ditto Siri. Google "talk to text" or "voice" or whatever you want to call it had been radically superior to Siri for years before Siri's debut. And Siri still sucks.

GenAI FOMO has spurred businesses to light nearly $40 billion on fire
MIT NANDA study finds only 5 percent of organizations using AI tools in production at scale
US companies have invested between $35 and $40 billion in Generative AI initiatives and, so far, have almost nothing to show for it.
According to a report [PDF] from MIT's NANDA (Networked Agents and Decentralized AI) initiative, 95 percent of enterprise organizations have gotten zero return from their AI efforts.
Only 5 percent of organizations have successfully integrated AI tools into production at scale.
The report is based on 52 structured interviews with enterprise leaders and on analysis of more than 300 public AI initiatives and announcements, and a survey of 153 business professionals.
Maybe that's why Apple was shy.

Oof, reading comprehension my guy. I was stating that Google and their entire Pixel lineup starting with phones, now pixel watches and now pixel buds is, yes, copying apple's strategy and "walled garden".

I have both and nope. Not even close.
I now know you're beyond biased because literally every YouTube tech reviewer and even sound engineer's have given praise to Apple AirPods Pro 2s (dunno about the 3s).
I like some google products but stop being an anti-apple sheep.

I'm not trying to get in between the three of you, but "smart" phone really means something with an app store.

What chips have surpassed the M chips? Snapdragon is only better at multi-core performance. It doesn't surpass it in power efficiency, graphics, single core performance and AI.
If you're comparing them to Intel and AMD, it's x86-64 vs ARM. Intel and AMD need way more power and are a completely different architecture.
And just as importantly as processing speed and power, the M chips are designed from the ground up to only run Apple software. And the software is similarly written to optimize performance based on the chips unique Mac only architecture.

So we are just going to exclude their Nexus line of phones, which were basically superior to iPhones in every way
But the Pixel line turned 9 years old in October

I think the only phone I hated more was the Blackberry Storm. I was coming from a Droid Incredible which I still think is one of the best Android phones ever made.This post was edited on 11/4/25 at 10:33 am

Haha that's fair. I used to laugh at the original AirPods but somehow the airpod pro's don't bother me. Fair enough point though.
Guess my whole point (maybe I phrased it poorly?) is that Google, with the Pixel lineup of phones, watches and headphones seems to be going to same route as apple.
Samsung has pretty much done the same a while back too with phones, watches and headphones as well.
Anyhow, I like different functionality points and features of both platforms.

They aren't copying Apple.
The smartphone world has moved on to ecosystems. Now you have to offer an ecosystem if you want to keep your customers.

I was hard into Windows Phone, which essentially had a non existent app store. But, you could bookmark websites and essentially make them apps on your phone. Oddly, even before password managers became common, it was a better authentication experience than having to constantly re-authenticate to every goddamned app every two weeks like we do now. The apps are only updated to maintain rankings in the store, and it always rears it's head just after I leave the driveway.

Yeah. MS threw all kinds of money at developers and couldn't get the big ones to develop the popular apps. BB ran into the same problem.
First it was about OS. While they were figuring out OS, Apple changed the game and moved on to apps. BB and MS were unable to get the apps and let's face it, without the top 20 apps you are dead in the water, as they were.
Those two fell by the wayside but now it has evolved to ecosystems. Thus you see Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and even Nothing offering earbuds and/or tablets.

MS Surface laptops are under-rated, especially when bought used at a discount ($300 for 16GB of RAM, 256GB) in a sleek package.

I suffered through the original windows phone before iPhones and a million rom flashes later I gave up entirely and orphaned my 5,000 xda posts.
Flashing roms still a thing?
I did have some good times on xda

agreed. Unfortunately, they don't have a matching phone anymore.
