1/ After android wholesale copied iOS years ago, lol.
2/ I thought people said iOS 7 was, now we find out iOS 26 is?
3/ That was windows 3.1, imo.
4/ People are threatened to leave Apple over LG? Do it. That’s the only way to send a message to Apple. Complaining and then buying product which leads to record sales doesn’t send the message.
Seems like we agree on many points. Nice.
Some comments for other points:
1/ Yes Brave Apple Hero. Google did it actually. I don’t know what even slightest input to this discussion it has, but yes - it’s true.
2/I don’t know. I used Android then (using Apple for 5 years). And not “we find”, but “I find”. Might be right or wrong, but my opinion is that Ive would never agree on LG (nor Jobs).
3/ That was 3.11 _as well_. But not only. Look at buttons, windows, whatever in iOS or macOS. Rounded (a bit) rectangle is a standard. LG changes that. Base shape is capsule, of course expanded to rectangle-like shape for larger sizes.
4/ No you’re wrong. Not using Apple is just one of many ways to give message to Apple. There are many others like giving feedback to beta versions or writing commments on this forum. BTW. All methods have the same result: NONE. And most important. Giving such advise is sort of … not quite best behavior. Forcing people to stop using product to give message? Really? Giving up environment that user got used to, just because one of 100s of aspects of a product doesn’t meet their needs. Strange advise, indeed….
EDIT
… especially when no competition exists but only duopoly. On one side Android (my opinion - ugly system for which people buy with privacy) and on other side Apple products which used to be great but start to be broken because “something is rotten about Apple” (John Grubber, 2024).
