You're being a hypocrite now. How long did it take for Apple to use USB-C, and only after being forced to by the EU?

How long did it take Apple to do away with 60hz iPhone even after Google has been using 90+hz on the A series for several generations now?

You're more of a fangirl than anyone else other than that 🤡 Kamal.

I never denied that, did I? Unlike some of you, I don't deny what's obvious. Don't deflect to the topic of widgets. I never claimed Apple was first; my point is that Google only bothered to revisit and improve their own widgets after Apple released their polished versions. It is a fact that Google essentially neglected their widgets until Apple forced their hand.

I would like to share a quote from Google that highlights your preferred system.

Google heavily revived and overhauled its own widgets after Apple introduced its redesigned, highly polished widgets in iOS 14 back in 2020.

I'm starting to believe you write these factually wrong articles on purpose.


On Android - in any app - you just mark the text you want and press Copy. If you want to edit what you copied, in case you copied to much (whole message etc) just press Edit. Done.


This way you can also copy multiple things simultaneously...from multiple messages and so on. And have them all easily accessable - simultaneously.


On iOS or iMessage? Nope, you cannot do it. It just provides the most basic copy/paste-functions.



It's aman. He's always writing these asinine articles for clicks.

Wth are you talking about? Widgets have never not been polished on Android. You're just trying to find any excuse to make for Apple being late to the party, as usual, and acting like they actually did something.

That's exactly how it goes. Google often neglects their own features until Apple releases a polished version, forcing Google to finally go back and fix what they had left for dead years ago. It’s a recurring pattern where they only prioritize improvements once they feel the pressure from the competition.

The highlight select functionality has been included in the messages app for literally years. Now that they've added this new menu, it's harder to use highlight select partial messages.

iMessage has it's strengths for sure, but it's all moot thanks to that crappy keyboard experience on IOS...took Apple six months to patch the missed keystrokes and ghost letters bug..drove me nuts when typing on my 17pm. Better late than never I suppose.

Fixed…yeah, now it’s just crappy instead of super crappy. Baby steps..

Yeah that's what I always do to. I have a Motorola and it works fine to copy and paste. I think instead of belly aching about stupid features and the Apple Dou they should pay more attention to actually understanding a phone

You, my friend, are completely wrong here. That nincompoop has been a hypocrite for some time.

Please don't let me catch you uttering such incorrect information again.

That sh¡t is definitely still super crappy. In fact, every keyboard for the iPhone is super crappy. I already don't like Gboard & SwiftKey on Android, but they're abysmal af on the iPhone.
