Did he forget about windows mobile pda phones that predated the iPhone? I had one of these before the iPhone was a thing: https://m.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_iis-933.php

iPhone undeniably brought the technology forward by years, even if only in terms of software. I don't even like iOS, but it seems disingenuous to compare iPhone to those, or the Samsung tablets, or anything that came before it.

Here in the UK it took over 3 years, after the initial release of the iPhone, for it to even support MMS messaging. Most people around me had Blackberries until Apple actually gave reason for them to consider switching, which took years. It was largely considered to be like the iPods before it: focused on the fashion/'cool' aspect of it.

I would not say they brought technology forward, and I'd go as far as to say the strive to bring forward functionalities of the iPhones improved after Jobs (I understand this is a hot take and may result in downvotes, just my opinion based on local experience).

While apple did improve the design, they mostly made it “cool”. Before that they were “nerd” phones. The Motorola V3 was a “cooler “phone at the time until the iPhone came out.

I’m with you, but it seems like this post got taken over by passionate haters

[-] labsin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lol haters. Can't really blame ppl for saying fanboy if talk like that.

You post a hateful quote and ppl nuance it. Doesn't seem that bad.

I miss when devices came with infrared transmitters.. Also it had a mini sim & built-in Bluetooth/wifi at that time, wow.

[-] wason@lemmy.ninja 3 points 2 years ago

Xiaomi phones still come with infrared, mostly used to control TVs, fans, AC units, etc.
