“Where people praise App for things other people have already done.”

Did anyone say Apple was the first to do this? No, no they did not.

So are you saying that nobody is allowed to be praised if it’s been done before? Because that’s what it looks like to me, please correct me if I’m mistaken. Thanks.



GP said that "Apple made it practical" while quoting a part about having user-replaceable batteries, implying that Apple's use of replaceable batteries in a device tracker was Apple's innovation.


No it's implying that there was a worry that Apple wouldn't have user replaceable batteries. They at no point reference any competing product.


I disagree. The comment is drawing a contrast between what apple did and "devices like this".
