Apple, with the iphone, did pioneering capacitive touch screen and biometric. Android brought smartphone to the mass and trigger the stupid camera war.

Apple-Fanboii-Checklist:

Trace everything back to the original iPhone
Be sure to mention Apple's Marketing buzzwords like "biometry" or "live photo"
Offhandedly treat "Android" as "product for the common masses" with a hint of snobbery
Treat "The Android" as a monolithic entity instead of a licensed OS that has nothing to do with the devices it runs on per se
Call anything that was a marketing focus for Android-Using-Companies but not for Apple for a time some derogatory name because only what Apple did was right

I’ve never seen someone shit and vomit so hard into a 5 point list before. Congrats on that one, go grab some water.

Named the one pioneering thing they actually did
Didn’t use that word but biometrics have nothing implicitly to do with iPhone. Regardless, imagine referring to a named functionality by its own name - so controversial. You’re just trying to take words away from people.
You’re being paranoid, where do you see snobbery in this comment please point it out if you’re willing to defend this point
Again, imagine referring to something as it is socially known. Android, pedantically, is an OS yes but everyone in the fucking world when they hear “android or iPhone” know that means an iPhone or a phone running android. 🙄
What the fuck are you smoking

Cool username by the way. What’s the origin? Sounds awfully a lot like a specific slur I know of. A trolls MO certainly would line up with whatever your shit post of a comment was.

More riveting conversation, what a surprise.

"riveting conversation" eh?

Watch the completely uncalled for aggression you spewed towards a silly little post about brand fanboiis. Insults followed by attacks, followed by calling me racist for my nickname. This is pathetic and nothing more. You may believe you dealt some sort of blow to me and "win" or something, yet the only thing you did is flail around like an angry child.

All this aggression against a post that was meant to tease someone, which you might have noticed had you read my other post 3 answers down.

Even if there was a conversation to be had about Android vs iOS or the like (there is none, everyone should use their hard earned money to buy whatever is the best products for them and that's it), even if you made some interesting point somewhere in that ball of hatred you call "conversation", I'd not engage with that point since the tone you set is not worth my - or everyone else's - time.

capacitative touch screen

Motorola PDA's form 1999 already had it. I was playing jawbreaker instead of working back in 2001.

You're too young for the stance you want to take. Let the adults talk.

Give the credit where its due. Android was designed to be used on a device similar to BlackBerry (Sooner), the success of the first iPhone made them switch to a touch design from the ground up. Your Motorola didn't start any trend. That's why I use the word "pioneering". Use shit just to claim "first" without making any major impact is called "gimmick", like the 2k screen on my old LG G3 (hate it).

Empty barrel truly make the most noise.
