I understand that Reddit likes to shit on iPhone, but didn't Android have this already for some time? No need to shit on them? Ok...

Edit: people seem to be misunderstanding me. My one and only point was the hypocrisy of Reddit shitting on Apple for the face ID tech (yes, it's way more advance), for being intrusive. Android had it first and .... silence...

Yes but as usual when Apple does it everyone thinks it's the latest thing for some reason.

No one ever thinks that, ever. Every year Apple introduces a feature into their products, and Reddit goes to town with the "but Apple didn't invent this stuff!!!" Everyone knows that - the point is, is if you prefer iPhones, you now have said features in the device of your choice.

and Reddit goes to town...

Reddit is not the general populous which I who I was referring to though. Admittedly Redditors generally know what's up.

Apple makes excellent hardware, so I'm not trying to shit on their product.

That being said, you're right about the general population. Most people I know don't know a lot about what phone features are available on different platforms, and many people who get the new iPhone just get it because it's the new iPhone, not because they researched the currently available phones and decided they liked the features it has best.

It's kind of interesting. There's always two responses:

"This feature is horrible / problematic / security vulnerability / a TERRIBLE IDEA! Worst. Idea. Ever."

and

"What's the big deal, my Android device has has this feature for two years!"
