Apple brings some BlackBerry 10 flavor to the iPhone X

Bla1ze
12 Sep 2017

Apple has just unveiled their brand new iPhones (iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X) but as they were demoing the iPhone X and all its new features, folks couldn't help but notice that some of the 'revolutionary' new features weren't exactly all that new. Check out the video in the first tweet below, bet it looks awfully familiar to you!

Swipe up to go home. Swipe up to multi-task. Feels like something I've see once before in a smartphone operating system :-)

So #iPhoneX with no home button can do now what #BB10 did few years ago, swipe up to go home!

Yeah, the new iPhone certainly brought a bit of BlackBerry 10 flavor along with it. Some folks will argue that it's copying features, while others will say Apple doesn't downright copy them, they just improve upon them. No matter how you look at it, it's always amusing to see Apple tout things as new while others sit back and say 'I've had that on my phone for years'. In other news, Apple also invented wireless charging and tap to wake today as well. Thanks, I guess, Apple.

Google already tracks a lot of your data, whether you want them to or not. But for a mere pittance they'll track even more of it! Why? All so they can better sell ads to put in front of your face. Cooooooool.
