iOS user: “DUDE have you seen [new iOS feature]? This is the bee’s knees!” [10 minutes of gushing omitted for brevity]
Android user: “…Yeah, we’ve had that for 15 years.”
Even the iPhone itself was just a more advanced version of a PDA or other handheld PC device that existed years before it. Logically, phones would have advanced similarly with or without Apple.
Doesn’t look like a black rectangular piece of glass to me. I think the point they were making was that there was a design paradigm shift when the iPhone came out.
Floating apps. And split screen. I was playing Pokemon Go with reddit open in the corner in 2017 and it was old then. I dunno when iOS got it, but it’s recentish.
Neither floating apps nor split screen were ever released for iOS. Split screen was added a while ago for iPadOS, but floating apps (Stage Manager) was released just last year.

To be fair, Apple had a PDA, the Newton, back in 1993… Not that it was the 1st again…
I had one called the iPaq.
Apple has since then made it illegal to trademark products starting with “i”. Irony.
iRony.
“Irony”, its probably what the “I” stands for.
It wasn’t an entirely new concept but it completely redefined what it could be. Look up what Android looked like until the iPhone was demoed.
HTC Dream with Android.

What was your point again?
Yeah that’s exactly it. This phone was a reaction to the original iPhone. I was there

Remember when “resize window from any corner” got a round of applause?
Or when two mouse buttons would be too confusing to users?
edit: fixed typo
Apple always had only one button, right up until it had zero.
Wait what does that mean, how else do u do it and what device was it?

Copy muthafuckin paste. That was a laugh, listening to explanations of why you didn’t need it, until they “invented” that too.
This happens the other way too FWIW
