- Comment on Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch 1 month ago:
It is a bad thing as it happened just at a transitional period in chargers. If it was just another USB A connector, then it wouldn’t have been an issue. But we are now in the transition of USB C chargers and most people don’t have a “box of them”.
Newer devices are advertising that they have ever faster charging options, but these need the newer USB C connectors to reach these advertised speeds, which as I mentioned, most people don’t already have. So you are stuck buying another thing to use what they were advertised as having.

- Comment on Disturbing increase in violence at school as principals say both parents and students are making threats 3 months ago:
Spare the rod, spoil the child. And you’ll end up with kids who bring machetes and spears and knives to school; weakling sad little runts who cant learn to be responsible human beings and who have such low self esteem they need weaponry to threaten others with. Sick.
The prime example of the kind of person mentioned about in the beginning right here.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 4 months ago:
Though since I’m bored, I’ll bite again.
MS got their original UI from Xerox, just like Apple copied as well. The difference was, Apple was sued for the copying.
As for Android, what about it? It was started in 2003 by Android Inc, and Google bought it in 2005 to build a “handheld mobile device”. You know, when Steve Jobs was showing the Moto Rokr, Apples failed first foray into smartphones? Apple just looked around, saw Microsoft was building for the modern smartphone and even Google was already getting a jump start into it as well.
And well, this being Apple, they just copied someone else (big shocker here…) And they ripped off LG, but LG in the end didn’t sue. It’s well known that the LG Prada was shown off (and won the iF Design Award) in Sept of 2006. 5 months later, a (now known) glitchy prototype that even when released wasn’t complete (no cut and paste).
The real issue for you isn’t your “done seeking out a non-group think argument”, the reality is you are desperately looking for a group-think group that only sees Apple as some all mighty and infallible company that can do no wrong and none can do better than them. I wish you the best of luck finding such a group, but as you’ve noticed, it won’t be here.

The problem with your iPod comparison is most likely you didnt use a good MP3 player. They existed before iPod, they just didnt get the marketing blitz Apple did. Cowon comes to mind, and had much better quality audio.
The iPhone was copying what MS had innovated with Windows Mobile 2005 (a fully usable mobile phone that didn’t need physical buttons.) Issue was 3rd parties kept putting keyboards on the phones, so Microsoft created their Surface range to help stop these blunders.
As for your other comments, the iPad was Apple rushing to compete with Android tablets like the Android Vega.
Apple was always noted as having low res (1600x900 screens) while everyone was moving hi res like 1080p. You can thank the PC world for those, or you most likely still be using a 1600x900 screen.
TouchID? Fingerprint scanners have been on laptops for at least 15 years.
Face ID? You mean Windows Hello with MS’s Kinect technology?
OSX was innovative… by dropping their own macOS coded OS in favor of using someone elses work? Ok… odd flex there…
OSX came out at the same time as WinXP, not 95… Worst. Apple. History. Revisionist. Ever.
The first wireless earbuds were released in 2014, long before airpods. And companies like Sony already made them common and popular before airpods.
As for the Vision Pro, its literally Apple aping Microsoft (again). Its called the HoloLens, came out in 2016. Here is a TED talk about it.

It’s one of the leading companies in restaurant equipment. Worth a little $750 million. It’s a serious company and they didn’t care.

Lucky you.
Had to call a company for support of a $40,000 piece of equipment. They were at first willing to help and asked to FaceTime the call. When I told them I don’t have an iPhone, I was pretty much shut down and told to just call a local repair man. (The repair man, not associated with them, helped me completely over the phone. Didn’t need video or anything)
- Comment on Japan prepares regulation requiring Apple to allow sideloading 6 months ago:
Most likely it means what the OS allows and won’t allow. In this case, it will focus on iOS and allowing you to install software without using the app store (3rd party stores)
- Comment on Apple Develops Breakthrough Method for Running LLMs on iPhones 6 months ago:
It was, and then Apple bought it out.
- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 6 months ago:
Issue is, the scroll circle was a copy of the Braun T3 Pocket Radio made in 1953.
And Apple didn’t start the touchscreen phone revolution. That goes to companies like LG (LG Prada, was was publicly displayed in Sept 2006) and others. Everyone always forgets that Apples first attempt at a phone was the [iTunes Motorola Rokr](i.guim.co.uk/img/media/…/2616.jpg?w=300&q=55&auto…), and Apple had to watch other companies move the touchscreen phone forward and then copy them.
- Comment on Steve Jobs Rigged The First iPhone Demo By Faking Full Signal Strength And Secretly Swapping Devices Because Of Fragile Prototypes And Bug-Riddled Software 6 months ago:
No, that is Steve Job’s attempt to having re-write history to make Apple look better. The truth is, the prototype you are referring to was called “Sooner”, but at the same time, they were making a prototype called “Dream” (in 2006) that was a full touchscreen.
osnews.com/…/sooner-prototype-dropped-well-before…
On top of this, phones were already moving to full touch screens. Windows Mobile 2005 was designed for touchscreen only (MS attempt was the Start menu on the bottom), but it wasn’t a requirement and companies wanted to play it safe. After that came the LG Prada which was a full touchscreen phone.

Google bought Android in 2005. The iPhone was announced in 2007. The iPhone didn’t have anything to do with Google and Android. Google had a slower hardware start because it has to convince companies to switch from making Windows Phones to Android Phones.

And so does Apple with Apple Arcade exclusives. This isn’t even talking about the lockdown nature of the devices that are designed from the ground up to kill competition.

Little bit of everything. Just do a filter to break it down to software.
Quite a few of these games have been translated too, though you will need an emulator to run them, and it’s not easy since the only emulators I know of are in Japanese.
