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
  
  Nice try though, have been an android user all my life and only own one ipad. Typical stupid online generalization.
  
  Too late, you already angered the android extremists. Come at me haters
  
  All hail the little robo dwarf trashcan thing that is supposed to be an Android while looking nothing like a human!
  
  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.
  
  What...the....fuck?!
  
  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.
  
  Not reading that wall of text, know damn well it equates to I don’t have anything intelligent to contribute to this convo and I am a troll.
  Textbook.
  
  Okay, shorter then: your bio asked me to point you there if you were "unduly rude or disrespectful" , so here we go:
  @stevedidWHAT
  Edit: corrected quote and link
  
  I'll admit that I made a rash judgement call on your personality based off a stupid comment and thats ignorant, unfair, and not the kind of person I wanna be.
  Your 5th point however is what tipped my judgement - that didn't read like a tease to me and, specifically, read like you were accusing someone of calling android companies derrogatory names when they hadn't done anything close to that. It read like you were trying to paint them like some snobbish asshole, which this person was nowhere near in their response. (See your 3rd point as well.)
  I apologize for the rash judgement of your character and that alone.
  
  Refer to your bio for being unduly rude
  
  Keyword being unduly
  Dude tried to shit on someone with nonsense, I responded, albeit irked, with points and logic and all I got back was “huuuh” “whaaat” “I’m not gonna talk” which is classic troll bs as we’ve all seen on the rise, and called it out. I take that rule seriously (thanks for looking through) so I would like to talk about this in specifics if possible. What specifically did I say that was rude/uncalled for?
- 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.
  
  👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
  
  Jsyk I downvoted not because you’re necessarily wrong but because you were a dick when the other dude hadn’t even engaged in anything like that
  Not very cash money of u fren
- The "stupid camera war" killed the amount of UFO and ghost sightings, while increasing the sightings of meteors and police brutality, so not all that stupid.
