As a mobile app developer, I lost count of how many times Android would implement something New And Shiny, and then Apple would come along, sometimes years later, implement that same thing for iOS and declare and market it as Magical and Revolutionary. Usually the iOS one would be a better one, because they'd let Android work most of the bugs out, but I don't recall too many things that Apple did that had never been seen before.
Not to mention in the early years, all of the logic you'd see from iPhone enthusiasts who would convince themselves that they didn't need X or Y feature from Android and in fact iOS is better without it anyways because it just works, only for Apple to turn around and implement it a couple months or years later anyways.
Basic features like the notification shade, quick actions, home screen widgets, etc. I saw a lot of people happily claim they were better off without these things.
Yes. I remember being argued down that "we don't need copy and paste! That's not an important feature!". Smh
Right click!? Two mouse buttons are way too confusing for Mac users!
Oh man I forgot about that one! ๐๐ญ
What's the key combo for right click on macos, if your track pad and mouse aren't working? No one knows... Or can tell me. They always say "jUsT gEt aNothER mOUse"... Yeah dickhead, I'm on a plane, what's the key combination?
Windows it's shift+f10.
I remember this!
