You’re right... looks like is not the proper word for it... Apple is years behind in specs and features is better.
The rainbow flag representing the fight for gay rights was introduced years after the Apple logo. That's an urban myth already debunked by Rob Janoff who designed the logo.
The Apple logo's colours are representative of the Apple II's colour monitor. The Apple II was the first personal computer that could do colour. The colours in the logo represent the colour bars on the screen.
I’m adding the word “appears”. Apple “appears” to be behind, but they aren’t really.
Hey, this is fun.That's almost the definition of innovation.
If something is brand new, it is an invention, not an innovation.

Innovation means taking something existing and make small changes or find new uses and gain economic success.
Seems like something Apple has been doing for decades.
Maybe you are thinking about invention, which is something different.
Yes, we get to thank Jony Ive for that.
No. iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 have already had Home Buttons that were no longer physical buttons, but simulated by the haptic engine. Both iPhones could have had a flat pane of glass where the ‘buttons’ are located and it would have worked equally well.
It was removed because they didn’t have the under-glass touchID sensor ready by the time they needed to feature-freeze hardware to make their manufacturing window.
This led to cascading compromises that resulted in the current UX mess.
Apple logo colors not based on lgbt rainbow
Thank you for debunking that idiotic trope that keeps resurfacing.
Thank you!

What UX mess are you referring to? The UX is fine, although I recognize anybody can pick anything apart.
I think the 7+ is the best iPhone ever released for its time, with the XR a close second. The XR (and the 11R/XRS) will still appeal to the 7+ crowd.

I swear to God last Monday I was browsing UberEats, hadn't yet decided what I wanted. As I swiped to multitask I placed an order by accident. And you can't cancel an UberEats order once it's done (unless you call the President or something).
I had pizza for dinner on Monday and Tuesday...
Well, as we've had them for over a year now: They are "rounded" physically by being a really precise stair-step of pixels, but in software, the display exists as a rectangle Apple's developer guidelines specify a built-in safe area to keep web and other content out of the corners for WebKit browsers (with custom CSS properties) and a similar function exists in Xcode's interface builder. You can override them to go full-screen / full-bleed though, as many games do.
Well, the “rainbow” Apple logo... which contains 6 of the 7 colors in the actual rainbow, in a different order- was 1st used in 1977, and the actual rainbow, used as symbol for the gay community was 1st used in 1978, & not well known until the mid to late 80’s at least, you know, due to the internet not being out yet & these things having to pass by word of mouth.
Sooooooooo... you’re DEFINITELY wrong. (Unless you’re claiming Steve Jobs was either psychic, or a time traveler?)
See, the problem with boldly claiming your made up stories are factual in the information age, is that a 2 minute Google search can easily expose your lie.
Probably best to preface wild conjecture with phrases like “it makes sense to me if perhaps...”, “just maybe...”, & the like- as opposed to “blah blah blah DOES INDEED mean...”.
Just saying!
Wow what an inflated opinion of yourself you have.

Hey Tim: ever thought how cool it would be to have a flying car to enter the stage?

Good information. In either case, some pixels would get "cut off" with rounded inner bezels as opposed to the traditional rectangular screen. As shown in the image I've supplied below, though, it may not matter a great deal in practice.
Actually, I was talking about the four corners on the screen inside the bezel. If we round off the corners in typical macOS apps, it would look like this:
In practice, if the curve radius is not too large, there isn't too much that will get cut off. I imagine it would be a little annoying for web developers or graphic designers who want to access those "dead" pixels that are unavailable due to the inner bezels of the display, though.
Very well stated. These same whiners are probably the one's who complained about "no keyboard" when the iPhone was first released.
Agree here. It's a product, you either buy it or you don't. I don't like plenty of brands or products, but I don't sit there consistently wasting time bashing them over and over, expecting a different result. Apple is a business, first and foremost - they are going to do what is best for Apple. If you don't like the products, there is plenty of competition to choose from today.
If the camera was flush, when you put a case on the phone the camera lens is now recessed, causing issues with your photos/videos.
The XS was technically the first full product line of gesture iPhones, think of the X as a preview. Yes the naming is now messed up a little but if Apple followed the old pattern this would be an S year
Well, considering some other forums are filled with "Apple can do no wrong" cultists, at least this place has some balance and rational thought.
I look forward to seeing what features they'll introduce that are innovative and ground breaking and that have been done by others for years. I hope I'm wrong...
We saw a prototype with a vague release date. I’m talking about a firm, buy now because it’s available.
What are some groundbreaking smartphone features in recent years from the competition? I can think of 2, but wouldn't call them ground breaking - under screen fingerprint (Face ID feels more innovative) and night sight (been done through apps/tripods before, but definitely a great feature in the Pixel). What are the others you are referring to?
Under screen fingerprint isn’t really owned by android. Most are using Qualcomm hardware. “Night sight” is cool and I wish Apple would have at least offer the option. However I can almost hear the words “copying” creeping into the posts.
