      I’d rather buy an iPhone instead of a shitty clone that won’t receive updates after 3 years.

      You need to look more carefully and androids because there’s plenty that are not clones. Very few all clones so you appear to be selecting for your own bias

          When did Apple release their Foldy phone? An Android manufacturer (spacing on the name) is already getting ready to release a tri-fold phone

          In any case, iPhone and Android copy each other all the time. Sometimes it’s Android copying iPhone and sometimes the opposite, it’s just the way it goes in the smartphone industry

            or 10x physical zoom, punchthrough cameras, USBC…

            In a lot of ways, iphone just copies android. They are just better at marketing themselves

                im saying that the android broke ground and got there first on all of these, while the iphone likes to pretend its cutting edge.

      It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.

      You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there’s more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren’t vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.

      But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.
