capacitive multitouch was so influential that google instantly shit themselves internally and reworked android from a clone of blackberry’s hardware and software* into a clone of the original iphone’s hardware and software if you can’t tell the difference between that and a gimmick to the point where you think anything about the iphone duo, which copied every part of its design from existing phones, you shouldn’t be doing tech journalism * don’t reply guy to me that this isn’t accurate, I used prerelease android before the redesign

and here’s the thing right for a period of time, apple had a group of customers who liked their products because they were a good value capacitive touch hooked up to a good UI was worth the money macOS was a pretty good unix hooked up to a good UI macbook pros had their issues some years, but the power management was excellent people have been calling apple a brand that people only bought to be fashionable for years, and it wasn’t accurate back then unfortunately, I think apple agreed with those people. cause none of the above applies to apple devices anymore. there’s nothing particularly special about any ios device, and the UI is jankier than ever. they fired all their old unix pros. your MacBook Pro would have great battery life… if the OS and the AI shit you can’t turn off without third-party patches (for now) weren’t sucking cycles they don’t need to apple always considered itself a fashion brand, and the people making it anything else have all been fired
