    It’s not the applause of awe, it’s the applause of “fucking finally.”

    Same thing happens after Google events. The last big feature that made everyone lose their shit was Google deciding to actually update their phones for more than a couple years. Shitty update support has been something iOS users have mocked Android about for a many many years.

    There are other examples, but the point is that both ecosystems have reached the point where they’re just cloning each other 90% of the time.

      Not really, android typically has software features 5+ years in advance of iphone. Most of the “cloning” was done in the first couple years smartphones existed.

        I feel like I know how this thread ends. It’s happened before and it will happen again.

        Two folks go tit for tat and list out features that each brand clones from each other during their last event, and the events before that.

        In the end we both lose for spending the evening arguing about two operating systems that we’re both using for the same exact shit posting.
