How many times does the most overrated company in the history of mankind need to blatantly rip off another company's tech before people realize they've developed literally zero new products ever? First they stole the PC from Xerox, then they copied BlackBerry and Palm's smartphones to make the iPhone, then they stole Samsung's home screen icons...actually maybe it was Samsung that stole from Apple but I'm not letting facts get in the way of a good story at this point...then they stole the iPad from Microsoft Courier, they stole oversize phablet phones from Samsung after making a big show about how they would never do it because their tiny screen was the exact dimensions that covered a human thumb's range of motion, then they stole Watch from FitBit, they stole Apple Music from Spotify, and now they're stealing the folding phone. That's not even mentioning all of their ridiculous civil cases over IP theft with Qualcomm and other companies over the years. This is by far the most shameless, morally bankrupt tech company ever, perfectly personified by their history of smug, arrogant CEO$ from Job$ to Cook. And yes, I know Zuck stole Facebook from the Twinklevoss babies and later copied features from Snap and Tiktok - big whoop-de-do that's nothing compared to the indefensible thefts of Apple over 40 years. https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/15/22233644/foldable-iphone-apple-screens-report

Something you’re missing is that Apple doesn’t always invent the thing, but they do polish it into a quality, desirable product and into their coherent ecosystem. If not for them we would still be using terrible phones and using 6-in thick industrial looking laptops. Your points are off the mark. Xerox openly shared the PC stuff with them. iPhone and BlackBerry are leagues apart. Now, they do need to support third-party app stores where they don’t take a 30% cut and stop being some anti-trust monopoly or whatever.
People can just tell how miserable FB is nowadays.
I’d be jealous too tbh
“Good artists create. Great artists steal.” - Steve Jobs
What fb folks didn’t want to admit is that fb chooses to be on the opposite side of the users’ interest. blaming apple will only expedite the perishing of the social network kingdom
Watch “everything’s a remix”
Did you just compare the iPhone with blackberry? That’s like comparing Facebook with email Jesus Christ
You have to separate the ability to invent something and ability to accelerate the adoption of new innovations and see value in there. Achieving any one out of these two will increase the life quality and the fact that later one makes more money just pure capitalism. Lower risk, higher reward.
Facebook copied MySpace
Ouch
Calm down, I know you are micro and soft, I can feel your pain. Remember, an apple a day, keeps Facebook away lol
