I always found them to be funny BECAUSE all they showed off was speed and a new camera. Past the first iPhone release much of the technology was already in Android phones before Apple. The whole "but we perfect the technology" was such a BS answer that I never really cared to see how Apple now had multi-touch, or Biometrics, or whatever else last year's tech you're adding it and charging crazy prices for.

Perfecting Battery management and Privacy settings made iOS markedly better for normal person long term usage, something google didnt really resolve until Android 9.

Even if Android had features first, the overall OS was a drag on battery, and apps were an all or nothing allow. Even if those things dont matter to people as a flashy feature, they matter.

My point is, when you are building a foundation, having better windows doesnt make you better. An accomplishment doesnt count fully if you missed the scope of what you were supposed to achieve.

Multi touch from Apple was a big deal, heck, there was only one bad implementation of a capacitive screen phone when the iPhone came out.

No phone really did Face ID or Touch ID right before iPhone, and multi-touch was basically nonexistent before Apple popularized it.
