I've been using jailbreaks since iOS 3 and have seen all the features in those articles get implemented over time, often times after I've already had them for a while via Cydia packages.
So then you should have been aware of the features/ideas that first made it into Cydia and later adopted by Apple.
However, that is not what you originally said:
Nor were any of the later features copied from the Cydia hacks except maybe Control Center.
The articles, which btw are 3 individual people looking to draw clicks and not "the internet,
Opinion, not provable, therefore will be ignored.
listed things like "Viewing animated GIFs in the Photos app," "FaceTime over 3G," "Custom Wallpaper," "Dark Mode," and "Screen Recording". Really, those are the stolen killer features?
Goal post moved via subterfuge.
No one said anything about killer features.
However your apparent knowledge/memory of the JB community hottest JBs is either faulty or not honest.
You picked some of the lamest examples to prove your point.
What about these:
- Mobile Notifier (Apple actually hired this developer)
- Wireless Sync
- Smartscreen (widgets on the lock screen)
- TVOut2Mirror
- Snaptap
- Wifi Hotspots (that was a big plus on jailbreak)
- Folders
- BTstack Keyboard (bluetooth keyboard)
- Copy and Paste
One of the features they listed was "Viewing animated GIFs in the Photos app," and the rest were basic things like that.
Whether it is basic or not is irrelevant to your oringal statment.
As if that's some patentable idea Apple copied.
Irrelevant. The perception on the internet is certain things introuduce by the jailbreak community were later picked up / borrowed by Apple, contrary to what you originally stated.
And none of the UI looks similar to the jailbreak tweaks, except maybe (as I said before) Control Center.
Again, moving the goal post.
The look is irrelevant. It's the idea that was according to the internet, copied.
