    Now they do, but the iPhone was revolutionary when it was released. Apple literally changed the world with their invention.

      A lot of people forget the early days.

      Android had copy/paste first, Apple didn’t for a long time.

      Android had MMS support first, Apple didn’t for a long time.

      Android had multi tasking apps first, apple didn’t for a long time.

      Android allowed app store apps to duplicate inbuilt apps, like web browsers, music players, email clients. Apple banned these for a long time.

        I remember having to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS to have swipe down toggles we now know as normal today. It was called SB settings from cydia. I’m pretty sure this was also standard on Android. And file manager.

        Android was a poor comparison when iPhone first released. I had one of them. It was neat because it was new, but realistically it was a piece of shit compared to the iPhone. I’m no Apple fan boy, but they genuinely changed the world in many ways
