Apple hasn’t been innovating in the smartphone space since at least half a decade, compared to the android landscape

And yet every time Apple does something, Android vendors are happy to drop their innovations and realign to whatever Apple’s doing.

Case in point, the latest Samsung foldable that just happens to be the exact same unseen before form factor as the upcoming Apple foldable, released the month before, even though Android has been “innovating in the foldable space” for like 10 years now.

Because until now no one working on those foldable phones had the guts to say “wait let’s not just the take the existing phone screen aspect ratio and make it foldable, this new screen technology should make us rethink the overall form factor” - it took Apple to make that step.
