Eeesh. What a horrible article.
It's written with that boastful, proud ignorance I absolutely despise in someone pretending to write tech articles. "I know virtually NOTHING about what's going on with tech, so I'll just follow Apple like a sheep and boast about things I have no idea about."
It's been gone over a million times, but there's nothing special about AirPods- nothing about them required the removal of the headphone jack, Apple users gained NOTHING losing the jack and Apple's long since been exposed as lying about every single reason for it. The sheer ignorance overflowing that article- acting like Apple's every misstep was some sort of brave new move: "they 'solved it! by offering wireless charging!" Yeah, gee, that everyone else had years prior.
It’s not unlike the notch. When the iPhone X came out, people all around the net pointed and laughed at Apple’s brazen design, but barely a year later, it’s hard to find an Android phone that doesn’t have one...
What a hack. First off- Apple wasn't even first with the notch. It was a terrible design compromise. He doesn't even seem to realize everyone else is moving FOWARD from stupid notches except for the laziest copy-cat makes on the Android side. (And by the way, many of us are STILL pointing and laughing. This isn't something you get to claim as a positive.)
Samsung just announced the A80. Now see, THIS is actually innovation:
Xiaomi has the Mi Mix 3 which has a pretty innovative slider, there are pop-up designs and even Samsung's current phones have smaller holes instead of a full-on dumb notch.
Plus we're on the cusp of folding screens and a host of designs much more forward-thinking. Apple is the one playing catch up- design wise in the smartphone arena they are positively LAZY. That's all there is to it. Billions in the bank and even the Chinese companies run circles around them for more innovative designs. Spend some of that money on some ACTUAL innovation Apple, then get back to us.
And this final bit of pure ignorant-yet-arrogant drek:
And when it arrives, Apple will make it sound like it’s a brand-new feature. Samsung and Huawei fans will laugh and remind everyone that they’ve had the same feature on their phones for months. But...
There is no Buuuuuuutttt.... after that statement! That's just pure shilling nonsense- people will laugh and remind that they've had the same (and better) features for months because they HAVE, and because Apple's playing catch-up most of the time. That's not some "oh they're sooo brave" thing, that's just a result of their laziness and knowing they can keep recycling old designs and their hardcore fans will lap it up.
Guy is just writing nonsense summed up as: "Every time Apple is late to the table, it's awesome and all part of a master plan that's sooo brave..! Even when they aren't innovating, they really are...! Missing features are better than ACTUAL features..." on and on.
What a load of rubbish.
