A processor does not a product make.
Although it can break a product. Go figure .
Have a great one yourself.

"Your thinking about invention, it’s not the same as innovation. Common misconception."
Fair. Apple doesn't invent anything new. Better?
"Apples 3d Face ID system can’t be compared to a single camera, that’s not very accurate."
3D is more secure but they mostly do work the same in most cases.
"You do realize taking what someone else started with and making it better isn’t as easy as you make it out to be."
I never said it was easy.
"There still aren’t any wireless headphones that work as well as the AirPods."
There most certainly are even better ones depending on your criteria sound being one and if you are not in the Apple/iphone ecosystem.
"You can’t give Samsung a handicap for releasing a prototype device as a Flagship.
It will damage the brand. Not for fans that appreciate Samsung failed attempt, but by affluent consumers who actually end up buying the device and then swear off Samsung and the galaxy line of phones because of it."
Ya I'm not sure it was really released as a flagship. You literally quoted me saying it wasn't ready to be released but I give them props for trying. But agree wasn't the best business move.
Our OP needs to update this article.
LOTS of hearsay and FALSE information ...

AT LEAST MKBHD actually admitted to his goof up ... Mark ... hides behind Bloomberg like a fish!

Apple Watch and iPad come to mind. You could argue iPhone. Best is obviously subjective, but you could make a reasonable argument for all of them, none of which were the first to market.
And none of them were best first gen were they. Again you can argue that but how many flaws were overlooked because it was the first of its kind?
Best is a horrible word to use .

No he didn't ... oh that's the excuse he made ... yet after unboxing thousands of phones he should've figured out when you remove the seal plastic, THAT'S IT ... there isn't another beneath on the screen. Again it was a newbie move he should NOT have made ... Grumman ... inexcusable.
EDIT: in fact look at MKBHD's updated unboxing for the replacement Galaxy Fold, notice he removed the seal and did not try again.
Too often the internet jumps on assumptions and runs with it on any medium. As if this was "Synapse which would fully unite us" lol.
Errr. Do the plastic wraps not usually come with an easily identifiable tab that shouts, "pull here"?
Do you have a vested interest in Samsung's reputation?
From the Verge:

Samsung's folding screen is only useful until it breaks. If it's likely to break in normal use, then it is not useful.
Errr. Hate to break (
) it to you .that goes for every screen .Also .What is normal use? Most people don't prop their phones up for a photoshoot.
Lets see what the feedback is shall we?
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this amazing joke I’ve just thought of. Ready?
“You’re folding it wrong”

My $1200 "Premium" Tablet has multiple bright spots, and the screen becomes unresponsive if tilted at a certain angle.
So yes, the story is probably correct.
Actually yes, you could probably argue that they were were all best as a first gen product. They may have lacked some features when introduced, but they didn't have major issue like the Galaxy Fold. I expected the Fold to be junk, but not this bad.
Indeed, not worth commenting on. Some people just have a very stunted idea of what innovation is.

I think that he was late and jubilant actually was the joke itself.
Apple is in fact responsible for a lot of inventions and industry standards, not really the thread to go into it though. You were referencing innovations, and apple is an innovator.
Regarding the fold, no you never claimed it to be a flagship and I never claimed that you did.
The galaxy fold is the new flagship this year. Flagship devices usually aren’t mass produced, exceptions do happen.
No I’m afraid in my testing the w1 chip is far superior to anything on the market, relating wireless headphones remaining paired to each other, exceptional Bluetooth and microphone clarity.
You just had to add that in there, eh? Could you imagine if the car industry came out with a totally different car, with different controls, every single year? You'd have to re-learn how to drive every time you bought a new car. No... sometimes when a product design arrives at near perfection, it's not consumer-friendly to change it for change sake. Meet iPhone. Now go enjoy the great tech you have in your pocket.
Poor analogy.
- I don't buy a new car every year or two.
- Controls aren't features. However features probably add controls.
- He is talking about performance spec bumps. Using your car analogy, the same car model from a different year could have a totally different engine which increases performance. The same car might also have a better display for its sound system, etc. Apple has nothing new or innovative to offer.
(Samsung has both with this phone, however I would never have use for such a stupid device [some people might]. Samsung butchered this, though the users peeling off the protective layer from the screen are dumb.)
Edit:
I do like the idea of rollable screens, it would bring this scene from Babylon A.D. come to life:

I would expect premium quality from a $1300 computer- but 8GB of RAM and a 5400RPM hard drive from last decade aren't it.
And I agree. But If you’re going to use a tag line like “unfolding the future”, have the quality to back it up.
Yes you can only “unfold the future” once, just like with the galaxy fold, your not suppose to keep “unfolding the future” or you will break it. Everyone knows that.
Oh and another thing, because the screen has to be foldable, it's not made from glass. It's plastic. We are already accustomed to, and expect, gorilla glass protected screen on our phones. Let's see how long this $2000 phone last at the hand of consumers.
