Best alternative to iPhone?

The whole world knew apple had their AirTags ready to launch along time ago.

Apple AirTags have been ready for years — here’s the proof

Dates on AirTags’ packaging hints at 2019 design

Typical Samsung would be out of business if they didn’t have apple to copy off. ?‍♂️?

Pots and kettles. Every company copies. Neither Apple or Samsung would be around right now if they only implemented tech they came up with entirely on their own.

Jony Ive's entire industrial design output was, ahem, inspired by Dieter Rams and Braun. Even the calculator app has the same colour '=' button! https://www.cultofmac.com/188753/the-braun-products-that-inspired-apples-iconic-designs-gallery/

Jobs famously said that "Good artists copy, great artists steal". Which was a Picasso quote, by the way. He went so far as to say Apple was "shameless about stealing great ideas".

And on the other side we saw years ago the documents where Samsung used iPhone as their guide in designing the S1. This goes both ways and I'm thankful for it. It isn't good for the industry or customers for ideas to be siloed in with any one company or brand. Jobs was a bit hypocritical with saying what good/great artists do. He didn't mind Apple copying, but wow was he pissed when someone copied Apple.

Speaking of copy damn shame we have to wait at least 2 more years for periscope zoom lens to be on apple devices

Apple has copied android features most years and they need to.. I also fail to see this as a bad thing

Without companies like Samsung apple wouldn't feel the need to add any new features

You guys just threw a bat signal up. You can expect another clueless Apple fanboy post followed by laughing emojis to arrive any minute now.

Proves someone has no legitimate point when all they can respond with is that stupid laughing emoji.

It truly is the "I know you are but what am I" for the internet age.

Shame this isn't Twitter, I wouldn't get banned for describing them with my favourite word.

Then when the iPhones gets 120hz...all the Apple fanboys will all say how great it is and how Apple invented it or improved it somehow on the iPhone and it is different and better than the implementation on any and all Android phones.

It has been this way with every feature the iPhone gets that Android phones had first....

I will have to resist those discussion because I always get into arguments over the stupidity of it.

Especially the old tripe about Samsung copying even when their product came out years before.

And Samsung released their Smart Tag first but somehow they copied Apple.

It’s because they have a time machine. They go to the future, see what apple are going to do and then come back and make their own version and get it out first.

Not like Tile haven’t been on the market for years and years before airatags and smart tags

I bet Samsung had a time machine years earlier. Then Apple released theirs a few years later and called it a iTime, slapped a Apple logo on it, and said it was revolutionary and innovative.

I can’t wait for the new WearOS Galaxy Watch. Being it on Samsung means it can be available in my country readily, unlike previous WearOS watches. Hopefully the chips are proper and current instead of the outdated Qualcomm wearable chips.

Personally I like Samsung Phones the best at the moment. I got a used Z Fold 2 with help from family and it's better IMO than the current iOS devices out there. I could never go back to 60Hz display after having the 120Hz. It's so choppy. I like having a better filesystem, love DeX, the displays, more widgets than iOS, customizing default apps, changing launchers and themes, etc.
