Damn, reminds me of when they announced copy and paste was coming to their phones as if it was some incredible breakthrough, and yet everyone else had it on their phones for a long time already.
Now they’re adding basic map features from a decade ago and have the gaul to suggest to their customers that it’s new and innovative?
I wonder what other old, basic phone features Apple customers just don’t have. I feel sorry for them, people playing that much for a premium device deserve better.
I suppose the fact that they feel the need to announce it rather than to just do it.
Anyway this is fairly standard operations for Apple. They did the same when they added widgets to iOS. Gee wow, guys thanks for adding a feature that has been in Android for about 20 years.
If their events are held to give us news and updates why didn’t they tell us that the new AirPods pro2 have a new chip for extremely low latency use with their VR headset?
Because it’s not to give us news and updates, it’s to sell you on the latest flashy slab.
I mean it’s obviously not news, news. It’s marketing. Most people just don’t care about latency on a product, especially when it’s for use with another - not even released product. What do you expect?
Their software feature announcements are done at their developer conference. Many times they are telling people who make apple software about features. Apple developers don’t care they Android had something first. They develop for Apple and need to know what Apple products do.
Honestly, if they didn’t announce it, would their users even realise it was added? As much as I dislike Apple, I feel like announcing the feature makes sense.

I’m a big Apple critic too but to be fair that message reads pretty neutral. Where do you see the claim it’s new and innovative?

I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.
Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.
Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.

How do you know it has that chip?
It was reported on by a tech YouTuber. It allows 360 degree low latency audio for VR
And presumably Apple told them. They aren’t going to list everything in an hour and a half keynote.

You mean back in ios3 in 2009? I wonder what phones you think everyone else had back then.
They still don’t have touchscreen support for MacOS. Windows added. Multi-touch sorry in the early 00’s. It’s absolute insanity
