The fact that a stupid little animation is getting all the headlines shows what a truly underwhelming product this is.

You aren't giving credit where it's due. The fact that so many Android users are scrambling to replicate this effect across the internet proves it's a feature people actually want. Personally, after seeing it on the iPhone Duo, my Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra feels a bit lackluster in comparison. It’s definitely a polished touch that I wish my device had. It’s wild that after eight years of foldables, neither Samsung nor Google thought to implement this. It just goes to show how Apple considers the finer details that others overlook. This level of polish makes my Fold 8 Ultra feel lackluster by comparison—I'm 100% shelving it as soon as the iPhone Duo arrives.

Android devs are, users couldn't give a toss.

I know i know , but the fact remains that as soon as Apple showcased the animation, Android FANGIRLS were all over it.

No they weren't. Devs thought they could scam an app with some vibe coding. Users couldn't careless

It is notable that despite their persistent efforts to compete with the iPhone, they have yet to achieve comparable success; however, their ongoing commitment is commendable.

"Then why do some consider it a gimmick?"


That's calls jealousy.

Animations like that are cute for about five minutes, and after that I just want to use my damn phone. I wish iOS had an option to disable animations like Android does.

Seriously there is no comparison when fan boys get impressed and defensive about an animation over all the good quality of life features that Samsung has developed over the years, seems just nuts to me. And the bar is really low.

An animation is the biggest trick Apple could come up with after eight years? Boy, how that company has fallen.

For real. The smooth animations has iPhone swooners thinking it's better but that's simply not the fast. As much as I like Phil Dunphy on Modern Family, "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" isn't always accurate.
