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 from the bottom to go to the home screen? BlackBerry did that years ago with #BB10. Copycats. #iPhoneX

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.

Means that BB10 OS are not dead yet. I wonder if BlackBerry Passport 2 coming soon I will cancel my iPhone X purchase. I'm the only one Apple staff using BlackBerry! You heard that John Chen?
Posted via CB10
I love my Z10 and have been looking to update as my aps are no longer updating. I'd go to the a new Blackberry using Android Operating System however I don't like the Keyone because of the key board (excess baggage) however I don't think I'd get along well without the Hub. Too bad Apple didn't think that the HUb would make a difference for their X model, I'd be all over it. Way to go Sam, a friend worked at General Motors in Oshawa and drove nothing but MoPars. He used to say when GM buys his cars for him he'll drive it otherwise Dodges for him. May be some one knows of an android Hub app?
Can't believe what I am seeing. BB10 reincarnated in the form of an Apple. Is that why they are calling it the X.
From now on it shall be known as...
AppleBerry

Apple will still blackberry hub not the fake android app hub lol, then they will make blend just for the heck of it and let everyone use the iphone on any computer

Posted via CB10
BB10 is clearly the best OS made in the last 5 years. It is a real pity that it did not work for BlackBerry. Its failure cannot hide the quality of the OS though. So it is not a surprise to see other platforms copying some of its features.
Posted via CB10
It's funny to see them copy and stake claims on old features. That's all that video was worth to me.
Sent from one of my SE Passports using BB10 superior software.
If BB was smart and had a Marketing Brain, they would come out with a ad blasting the Apple X saying this is old technology that BB had years ago in their BB10 or something like that.
Kick apple in their apple balls but im sure the people at BB Marketing have not even noticed, dumb as ses
Absolutely. Apple sue the **** out of anyone who do anything remotely similar to them. Blackberry should be jumping up and down and riding on the back of the publicity.
I've logged back into Crackberry for the first time in two years or more just to reply to your excellent comment.
Easier for me to move on I guess. But still can't live without pkb.
Posted via CB10
The only other options for PKB than BB are Mod for Moto Z (see other posts) or a keyboard slider cases for an Iphone.
Maybe BlackBerry should license a physical keyboard to them.

I wonder how John Chen feels at the moment? Maybe regretting dumping BlackBerry 10!
Posted via BlackBerry Passport
Doubtfully. Had they not dumped it they would surely have filled for bankruptcy by now. Continually dumping money into something that does not generate a return on investment is a horrible business strategy.
All people do are talk about having it on an older phone. But don't support the company by purchasing their phones.
What's the point, when they just keep annoying it's users so much. Currently lots of priv and DTEK customers are fed up.
They don't make any BB10 phones to buy.....otherwise we would buy them.

I'm a long,long time Apple user but I use a Q10.
I'm not a fanboy of BlackBerry at all.
But Apple's claim of a new way to navigate by using BlackBerry OS10 gestures, was utter B.S..
They should be publicly called out on that
Posted via CB10
They made no such claim, and they aren't BB OS 10 gestures. BB10 totally swiped them from WebOS.
For these reasons, ny distaste for Apple increases every year.
Posted via CB10
Get over yourselves guys. Apple didn't claim to invent gestures. What's more BB didn't invent gestures, and I didn't see them credit anyone when they presented them. When I saw these gestures on the iPhone, I immediately remembered my dear Palm Pre. And since that is also dead, I am happy someone is keeping the UX alive.
Where did they hide the squircle, I wonder?
BlackBerry is soft. All they can do is have the leash of Google around their neck and stand guard while doing nothing. BlackBerry ain't gonna do anything but continue to D'ride Android until Google has no more use for them. We need another OS to jump in the ring.

A phone that get closer to my reference, Passport SE. A few years, and we'll get the most awesome phone on planet, the Apple Passport with hub, pkb, 1:1 screen ratio, exactly the same build as Passport SE but with app support. We have to wait when people get bored with useless infinity display with horns, and manufacturers get back to the productivity and functionality route.

Appple iphone X Introducation
http://ally.sh/ht5Ez
As I have stated before it was only a matter of time before google and Apple adopted the best from the rest so to speak. I had an iPhone 4 back in 2010-13 and I loved that phone especially cydia and the entire jailbreaking community. Apple took a very soft approach and slowly patched exploits to the boot Rom. They were probably just scouting the best ideas the jb community had to offer and incorporating them into ios proper. Why would it be different for BlackBerry, apple simply took one of the best features bb10 has and I bet they are working on their own unified hub right now. If the clock was back to when BlackBerry was the **** and they dropped bb10 in 2007 or 2008 BlackBerry would probably be a world power now.
Wow, incorporating others technologies and calls its own with price tag of $1000 or more! Easy money, isn't it? Well without BlackBerry smart devices introduced to the market first, Apple Steve Jobs wont be able to come up with an iPhone. I remembered when Chrysler first invented Minivan and all the sudden, every car companies have Minivan.
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble here, even though I'm a happy BB10 user and will be moving to Android soon.....reluctantly....but BlackBerry didn't invent these swipe gestures, Nokia did with their Swipe UI used in MeeGo Harmattan on the N9. Still to this day I believe that was the best mobile OS (save for the security of the QNX based BB10).

https://forums.crackberry.com/news-rumors-f40/bb10-copying-nokia-n9-meeg...
I could go on with links.
The reason I came to BB10 from Nokia S60/MeeGo was the inspiration that BlackBerry took from Nokia with the gestures, BB10 was a refuge for me...now Android will have to be a refuge for me going forward as I will NEVER go to an Apple device, I refuse to give Apple my money (though I would have paid for FireWire if I ever needed it and would have preferred it to USB), Apple isn't a tech company, they are a marketing company, and have a cult like following that eats up everything Apple says is new an innovative, even if it isnt. Apple iOS (it's not the only IOS, there's Cisco too) will not be the refuge for me this time as BlackBerry was last time due to similar UI features.
I'm likely sticking to BlackBerry Android (KEYone or one of the new ones coming out) due to security, or a new Nokia Android (plus the BlackBerry Hub) if they get picked up by Rogers (saves me on the initial out of pocket expense).

If you are sticking with bb for security you are in trouble, bb gave the fbi back door access to secure all the government contracts!
Also very excited for the iphone x
FBI who are they? They don't have any offices in Canada Do they?
BlackBerry went to Android.
BlackBerry 10 software team went to Apple.
No surprise that the new iPhone has a BlackBerry 10 influence.
iPhone looks like a better BlackBerry 10 replacement than BlackBerry Mobile.
It's too bad, because I never liked iPhone, and hated Android. Google *is* the Evil Empire, but Apple is the Cardassian Empire.

Bring back BlackBerry 10 fools!
Posted via CB10
Not much news here, every time apple releases a new device that is technologically inferior or a year behind Samsung and others it's revolutionary and all of the sheep line up to buy it. The gesture is just one more example, but it works for them because generally speaking people are stupรญd.
BlackBerry should launch Blackberry os 11 with apk support. Build a new store with apk files and build in an alternative linux runtime or maybe from cm.tizen or whatever to run these apps. Let TCL bring out these devices and ad that android apps run with the same gesture apple x using now. Get the price right for 500 euro and seems to me a win.
There's 99.99% I will not use any Android BlackBerry device after my Passport will become obsolete so it's good that Apple is copying BB10.
I see this as a proof that Apple knows how to sell something to the consumer market, BlackBerry doesn't.
Posted via CB10
Come on people let's go to social media and blast Apple for copying BB10 features.....
Glad to see somebody point this out! This is the only place I've seen anyone mention that the gestures are BB10.
Blackberry still the best forever !!!
I don't care what any sucka says. You can yap how "BB10 is dead". Telling us to "move on" or "the ship is sinking " etc... At the end of the day everybody will always miss BB10, wish they devices had BB10 features. BB10 was and still are a trend setter. Go ahead and read through the Android forums and your guaranteed to see BB10 mentioned and how they wished they still had this and that on their new device. Call it what you like BB10 will forever be alive. Not physically but it will live on. Let's see what else with be ripped out of BB10. Too many overpriced phones that are loaded with useless bells and whistles. Can't wait to see these suckaz lining up for days for a device. Swear majority of them did the same thing last year. Smh. Anyway, back to my Z30.

"Useless bells and whistles...." like turning your face into a talking fox, or pig, or alien....that feature tells you everything you need to know about what apple thinks of its customer base.
Posted via CB10
OK guys, we GET IT that iphone x copied the bb10 swipe gestures...BUT PLEASE THE BIG PROBLEM IS...blackberry had these gestures for the PRIV AND DTEK?!?! BUT TOOK IT OFF FOR THE KEYONE?!!? it is the only reason why i went with the KEYONE thinking it had those easy swipe gestures esp going to the hub.
is blackberry bringing this back??? in an update or whats going on, someone please tell me, why did i buy the KEYONE....not JUST for the keyboard and why in all reviews of the phone it didnt mention that. common
Which one do you prefer? Copy it or abandon it?
Apple already said they will not be the first company to build phone, but they will be the company to build better phone. I am using Keyone now. If Apple can have BlackBerry software keyboard, I will abandon Android to IOS. Display better, camera better, apps better, accessories better, OS smoother. What Blackberry designed product only earn a very very small crowd of fans and just not enough to motivate BlackBerry to grow the people organization. BlackBerry fans who love physical keyboard are way too small community.
Blackberry 10 would be turning in its grave now and the irony is that they have named the device iphone 10 too! I kept telling rather begged the management of blackberry to listen to my advice but they paid no heed. Today after 5 years apple has copied what blackberry delivered way back and it will be more successful than blackberry ever could imagine.
Posted via CB10
what the f....
It surprise me how BlackBerry can find amazing new ways that we can't even think about to screw their amazing products
I just got the all black keyone and in now way could the iPhone add anything relevant to make the X better then this phone. Here is my thing and I am excited about the new blackberry future. If iPhone is using blackberry 10 stuff then things are on the up and up for BlackBerry again and that is very exciting
The iPhone is only $300 more than the 2 year old PRIV. Not a bad deal considering apple will support it for many years.
On a different note, my q10 has finally updated today too 10.3.3!! :D soo happy lol shame about my priv :(

EE UK, think they must have forgotten about BB10.
I have a T-Mobile USA branded Q10 & I still haven't gotten any 10.3 updates. I'm stuck on 10.2. I don't really want to fool with manually updating it since my primary device is my unlocked Z30. It's a lesson learned: always buy unlocked devices.
Posted via CB10 with my awesome ๏ฃฌ Z30 STA100-5/10.3.3.2163 on T-Mobile USA who keeps disrupting & improving the wireless industry.
Few points come to my mind here:
- Shows the power of Apple marketing...BBOS developed the idea of gestures and yet, the iphone sheep tards thinks that what iPhone has shown is revolutionary
- Can BBRY take Apple to court in this case? I hope BBRY filed some patents about this touch/gesture features. It is a clear case of patent infringement.
Hope that Apple will not go back to selling iphone with PKB and BBRY will still do nothing about it.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the iPhone X demo was webOs and BlackBerry 10. To me BlackBerry 10 was a solid OS and capable of doing very well had it been handled properly. The nail in the coffin for BB10 was the app ecosystem (yes, I know you can sideload and there was a workaround). Had BlackBerry 10 be able to fully integrate the Google App Store with services, I think things would definitely be different.
On the other hand, I have to give Apple credit. They do have a way of marketing and making what has already been done look awesome! It is what it is and Apple will continue to "WOW" the masses because they know how to market.
I really wish BlackBerry would have integrated some of the gestures from BB10 into their Android devices. Having said all that, I'm not buying the iPhone X LOL!
We need to update for BlackBerry 10 system in fast time.. bb 10 fast and security but need to more support from blackberry company.
Posted via CB10
$1000 for an iPhone with features I already have with my Passport? Yeah right!
Posted via CB10
The new iphone x is great but I would still stick to the TCL's Blackberry Keyone. If only BB appstore and OS versions improved just like with android and ios the originality of bb might still be in demand.

Real shame...Blackberry killed off BB10; the best OS they ever made only for Apple to prove the company right a few years later by giving the biggest compliment (shamelessly copying without acknowledging) to BB10.
Unfortunately for Blackberry, Apple will go on to sell millions of iPhone 10 and Blackberry will stand around watching because Chen won't want to look like a fool by reviving the BB10 OS
I absolutely disagree with your point. Swipe-up-to-home is an awesome, intuitive gesture. The whole operating system however stands on totally different things, though. And it's you who don't want to see it.
Posted via CB10 using my ๏ฃฌ Q10!
Yeah, and once customers compare BBWorld and Apple's App Store, they will march back to the store, return "this POS phone" (probably the nicest thing they will say) and walk out with the iphone. People don't buy an OS. They buy an ecosystem.
Hopefully those trageds in Google can implement the same things into Android too. If Apple may implementate such a "difficult gestures", I guess that Google cannot be the one behind. Oh God, how I hate Android-hemeroid, but what else can I do than move onto K1? :( :(

Posted via CB10
Be a bit objective. There was NEVER ever anything that was even close to "ecosystem". In the beginning it was unstable, undeveloped, slow, laggy, no-apps OS running on SUPER EXPENSIVE phones. I am sad for it too but that's how the story goes.
Posted via CB10 using my ๏ฃฌ Q10!
And another totally misguided persons anger, at the man who had to clean up the mess his predecessors (plural-make no mistake about it) failure to act appropriately in response to the new looming threat the IPhone and Android presented.
Is this BB10 patent? If such, is it necessary to sue Apple? They are such "inventors", lol, that they must to borrow things from others. LOL
I highly doubt it is a BlackBerry patent considering Meego Harmattan and WebOS were around long before BlackBerry 10 was. The Nokia N9 launched in 2011 and had this same exact gesture for going home. That's who BlackBerry copied when they made BB10.
Why do people here think that BlackBerry created this? Apple is a copy cat company big time, but they aren't copying BlackBerry. They are copying the same company BlackBerry copied.
They think blackberry created it for the same reason people will think apple created it.

It's so sad that while Blackberry---the pioneer in making gesture or swapping features---depreciated its features, Apple, bound to make tons of money out of them, saw the opportunity and jumped on the great features. Now, the whole world will appreciate the innovation and thank Apple, instead.
Apple will presumably sway BB10 fans.

Gestures of BB10 copied to iPhone X pronounced as iPhone Ten. BB10 and iPhone Ten. See the similarities?
@#ยฟ*Berry
OMG Apple copy BB10 gesture function. BlackBerry should sue Apple for this.
Now Blackberry can build hub for Iphone X! Just take my money Apple!
What if BBry says they have licensed this to Apple - Comments ?
I doubt BlackBerry has a patent on it. WebOS had a similar concept.
Yep! If BlackBerry had of just executed better and we wouldn't be in this mess! BB10 for life!
Watching that Z10 video reminded me how good BB10 is/was. Real pity what happened.
I know. :(
So Apple is ripping off similar features as BB10? Big deal for Apple I guess..., not so much for BlackBerry though now that BB10 is six feet under. Just goes to show, without marketing knowhow, even the best will fail. Well I say, good on you apple! I hope your new phone is a smashing success.
As for BlackBerry, take notes kids. Maybe you will be able to put your grown up pants on someday too.
Apple has always brought things to their hardware and software claiming it's NEW, but in all reality it's ONLY NEW to Apple because other manufacturers have ALREADY DONE IT months and sometimes years earlier. Apple, slow to the forefront as usual.

Why? They themselves copied those things.
Google search Meego Harmattan and WebOS. Apple definitely loves to rip off other companies, but BlackBerry didn't create any of the things Apple is copying here. BlackBerry only stole those ideas before Apple did.
This actually makes me sick!
I always preferred to swipe through my phone versus tap. BlackBerry 10 was superior - what a shame! @;:+!

I don't hate the fact that Apple copied bb gestures, its the fact the reviewers called it a steep learning curb when it was blackberry, but all of a sudden now that apple have done it, its innovative
Unfortunately, tech "journalists" are always myopic whenever Apple is concerned.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for um, Android
I'll happily admit iOS is a great OS. Probably better than Android, and in terms of development, better than BB10. But it's like a black box, so difficult to move files between different devices, and seems to be entirely geared towards consuming content rather than producing it. They still can't get cut n paste to work properly.
Posted via the CrackBerry App for um, Android
You nailed it. That's why I hate the two choices of OS right now....they're consumption devices, and what I really need is a production device. Even as Android and Apple improve, it's still in their heart and soul as consumption devices, it's part of their DNA. Personally, I'm still rocking a z30, and will be for a while to come. Our company bought spares since we don't yet see a viable upgrade path. Android is too invasive and insecure, and Apple just doesn't offer the productivity our team needs.

I hope BlackBerry does sue them. I think it would be hilarious to watch Apple's lawyers present Exhibit A: The Nokia N9.
If BlackBerry can copy Meego, why can't Apple?
I just got my Z10 out of the box in the drawer. Fired it up and look! Its like the iphoneX!
:)
I'll use an Android phone over an iPhone any day as my daily driver. Come to love the Keyone over the Pixel and iOS. Even without gestures the Keyone's keybo shortcuts make this the most intuitive interface I've EVER used.
The only reason I still hang onto to iPhone is iMessage and FaceTime are popular to most and VVM. Why hasn't Android added VVM natively?
Just trying to imagine what apple would have done with bb10,
This actually breaks my heart - features we all loved in an all-but-forgotten OS, now showing up elsewhere and getting the widespread praise we never got. Sigh.
So the closest we can get to a BlackBerry OS is to buy an iPhone X. Oh, and the apps will all work too. Now, if they would just put a BlackBerry keyboard on it I would be set!

What makes BB10 the best OS and what did they create?
People seem to forget that after the Java based OS, BlackBerry couldn't come up with an original UI to save their lives. The PlayBook copied WebOS. BB10 started life as a copy of WebOS, but then switched to a direct copy of Meego Harmattan. Everything people like about BB10 was on Nokia and Palm devices before BB10 existed.
BlackBerry bought QNX. So what exactly did they even create with BlackBerry 10?
And all this while TCL puts the finishing touches on new touchscreen BlackBerry Android with a home button.
Oh, such bitter irony...
+1^
One company knows how to market products and the other doesn't. Its that simple.
Blackberry really should re release bb10 and market it the way they are doing it with the Keyone. Crackberry Kevin had me just as excited for it as I was for the Z10/bb10 to come out. Unfortunately it is probably to late to do it as most people have dumped the OS for one of the other two. I still think if they gave it a really good shot they could bring it back. There was way to many great features to it.
Posted via CB10
I wonder if Palm was saying the same thing when BB10 came out?
This is very frustrating being a BB10 fan. Is already widely known that apple does this. But the fact that BlackBerry failed to do so much on their own OS/brand when it was needed. It is hard to choke down watching them fall apart and resort to a second hand OS among other stuff. I am still BB10believe. Lol.

MAYBE I'M LOOKING INTO TO MUCH, but is BlackBerry Partnering up with Apple in some way or another. Remember they partnered up with Samsung and they got some of Blackberry's piece of the Pie inovations and ideas. Trying to gain some more income and traction in their company.
Just a thought..
Also wanted to add , did anyone notice that there was a Chen on stage of the Apple Keynote podcast maybe a brother or cousin to Mr. Chen of BlackBerry or just by chance.
Just a thought...
you know if you put the BlackBerry launcher App as the centre shortcuts swipe up its almost like bb10. it will take you back to your home screen. still not the same as BB10.
That is a great idea!
John Chen you see this right?!!!

It will be fun to watch the iphoneX users fiddle with their phones wondering how to get to the home screen before the muscle memory wears away.

The phone looks like the essential phone with BB inovations. Apple will claim to be the only company to inovate. No they steal and make their own other companies inovations. Having said that all tech companies do it.
Bastards stole our sh@t !
Didn't Apple invent everything that ever changed the game? *facepalm*

BlackBerry just has to come out with a real Flagship Phone to combat with the Apple Core User Base.
Yeah, real flagship... Are you willing to pay USD 1000 for an Android phone? See how overpriced were already their DTEKs and how bad support they have.
Posted via CB10 using my ๏ฃฌ Q10!
Dtek was a sham (test), BlackBerry is going to lose customers because of it. I have the Dtek60 . It is an insult to the people who spent the money on it . A Flagship BlackBerry phone 800-850 would be a contender. I think the Passport would have been that phone if it had Android back when it first came out.
Interesting, I've been hunting all over for a DTEK60 at a bargain price in Canada without any luck so far, maybe I shouldn't be looking so hard
So in typical fashion, next year's Android will have swipe gestures to copy Apple. And we will have come full circle...
AGREED!!. I distinctly remember speaking to a blackberry rep when the Z30 was in a store years back. I spoke to him about the genius of the swipe gesture and having a buttonless phone. I told him to mark my words that everyone is ignoring BlackBerry and giving them no love but one day soon Apple will do the same and be praised as leaders and visionaries. Well folks that day has come!!! LOL!!!
A guy in my office just ran around touting all the things Apple came up with today. I just sent him this post.
Lol, is he crying yet?
Oh yes Crapple, can I please have to get a second mortgage to own your slave made junk. Please oh please Crapple can I?.

Crapple it may be, but God that OS looks fluid.....
Wonder what is being said in the blackberry board room tonight, toasts for killing bb10 then more toasts for shafting priv and dtek customers then toasts for pushing crackbians over to iphonians.....
Long live gestures, and I'm giving blackberry one right now lol
You go buy your iCrap. Crapple will control you like Scientology contols people..baaaahhhhrrraaainwashing.

Too bad BB is now Android Berry. Let iPhone bring it to us. I will buy it for sure!

At the end of the day BlackBerry had to kill BB10 as it was destroying the company. They were too late to the market. Having said that, apple really hasn't brought anything new to the table. Sure an extra feature here or there but nothing that changes core user experience. The premium market is shrinking fast and it isn't what most people need. Sure the fansboys will foam at the mouth for a day or two but that is it. It's too pricey for what you get and people understand that.
Posted via CB10
If BlackBerry knew how to market and fired Chen they would of had a chance
Naw, BB10 was too late and app developers didn't support the OS. Once sales fell and Thor put up the for sale sign, Chen could do nothing to save the OS. Stop blaming Chen for the BB10 failure.
I made such comments in last week and some people were jumping on me with things like bb10 wasn't good and losing money now Apple took it up why all the whining! Carry on iPhone!
Posted via CB10
Another uneducated comment
Get out of here Crapple fan boys. Baaaaahhhhhh.

Fk Crapple. They can literally rot in ****. I would never "Jump ship" what kind of crack are you smoking. More Crapple gimmicks. I'll stick with my BB10 thanks.

I think BlackBerry is a bulshit right now. They kill the BlackBerry 10 OS intentionally in flavor of apple. They know that is the next step of the new ios and they give us the creepy android. I'm so mad right now. That's not real.
Haha. You cracked it. It was all a liberal conspiracy.
Do you live on the same planet as the rest of Us?
No, i live on Mars. Think again. Look back. So, why BlackBerry abandoned the OS10? They could update the android runtime to the nougat, and the KEYone could be on BlackBerry 10.4 OS. Or, they can pay the big names on aplication to make apps for BlackBerry 10. But don't. They don't do that. Why? Only software? Only make money. Why BlackBerry are day one prepare with their own apps for IOS X? I think you don't think. I'm not argue with you because my iq don't let me.
They abandoned BB10 because they never made a single cent of profit off of it and they were smart enough to realize that that would never change. BlackBerry isn't a charity. They have to generate profit from the products they create to stay in business.
Updating the runtime, paying big app developers, advertising, OS updates, new drivers for newer hardware - all of those things cost lots of money. How much more money should BlackBerry have invested in a product that they literally lost billions of dollars on? How many more billions should they have thrown away on a almost universally unwanted product?
@Witmen, Exactly!
All those crying about the dead of BBOS could start by looking at themselves, and ask why they did not persuade all their friends, family and colleagues to buy a BBOS device? Failling to do so is a big part of what killed it....
The most effective advertising of anything is one user persuading a potential buyer to buy it, simply by telling why they are so happy with what ever it is.
Blackberryesque....
This comes out when some BlackBerry fans are contemplating buying phones from other OEMS.
How is Apple's Face Unlock different than Android's 'Trusted Face' feature in 7.0?
3D and infrared scanning.

Ahhhh I'll have to read up on this more. Nice.
.... and BB10 copied from Nokia's Meego Harmattan gesture UI as found on the Nokia N9.
But hey BlackBerry invented gesture UI didn't they ;o)
Exactly!
BlackBerry delayed BB10 immediately after Meego was officially killed off and they changed their entire UI from a clone of WebOS to a clone of Meego Harmattan.
I used BB10 when it still looked like a shrunk down PlayBook and then one day there was an update and it looked exactly like a Nokia N9. BlackBerry straight up ripped off the UI for BB10 and they didn't even seem to care that everyone in the know knew about it.
At least Apple waited several years before they copied Meego.
So, basically our next BB10 device is an iPhone.

BB10.4? ๐
Yes that's very true they hired so many BlackBerry engineers, so naturally they will mimic bb10, to this day a very awesome OS
Haha that's what I call "operate beyond the enemy line" :D
Posted via CB10 using my ๏ฃฌ Q10!
Apple = the Christopher Columbus of smartphones
Next, they'll "invent" flick-typing.
I hope.

Good news, cause after the priv, iPhone will be my next phone!
Apple alwys inventing what it's been already invented...
Posted via CB10
Nope that's BlackBerry Power, from BlackBerry people who were kicked out from BlackBerry (thanks to John Chen and his team) and Apple hired them.
Posted via CB10
Well when you remove the home button on the iPhone... some type of gesture is required... use what works!
The difference between BlackBerry and Apple is that Apple actually encourages their developers and recognizes talent and ideas.
BlackBerry goes "derp-derp Enterprise doesn't like it"
I'm conflicted. My BlackBerry 10 experience was the best and it was a sad day to see it not be adopted by the general public. Glad to see Apple using some of the great features of that OS. And as I age, I wish Apple more success than I used to. Why? Because my mutual funds (read retirement) are tied in tight with Apple's stock price. Not that I'm going to buy it. My KEYOne suits me fine. But go Apple stock go..
If you really love BlackBerry, you should go iPhoneX!
BlackBerry kicked out talented and loyal employees - Apple adopted them!
That's what you get with BlackBerry people working at Apple!
That's way more BlackBerry than "KeyONE" with it's "outstanding" Snapdragon 625 processor.
What a joke BlackBerry has become!
Thurber should be kicked out!
What a sum of incompetence.
Posted via CB10
Not impressed with the Snapdragon 625 are we... hahaha
Buying a phone with 3GB of RAM with a Snapdragon 625 in 2017... for the amazing price of $729.99 CAD plus applicable taxes.... But wait, we'll give you the shipping FREE!
Tell me again that you're not impressed ๐๐๐
I bet you believe that the moon landings were a hoax.
You (insert word here) , comparing a company on the ropes to the richest company on the planet, and expecting the all amazing iPhone killer to appear. You know nothing about business. Nothing. Drop your bs rhetoric and grow up.
Apple success was making everyone believe that they need to own an Apple and that they are special.
Excellent timing, and marketing, all wrapped in a pretty package that looks good in a ladies hand as well as the lbgtq community = billions.
At the time when Apple hit the Phone market BlackBerry was the most selled and most popular Smartphone maker and Apple wasn't the richest company...
Posted via CB10
That has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Your bs about Chen destroying the company is utterly misguided. Your villains are Lazaridis,and Balsillie, who failed, FAILED, FAILED, to act and bring about BlackBerry 10( or similar) while they had the chance. Thorstien Heins attempt failed as his introduction of BB10 was too late coming to market and didn't gain traction due to "APPGATE". Chen has had to clean up this utter mess that was left in the aftermath and you can't get that through your head.
If it wasn't for Chen, BlackBerry would have already been sold and chopped up into bits.
Their stock dropped after the big reveal.
I frigging laughed!
Funny isn't it? the irony of it all... Blackberry uses it and get's no applause from anybody, because they didn't care for it that much and concentrated on business as usual. Business purposes... Business aka serious users....
Now here comes the King of all DAU's (term in the software industry), presents it as new (because they actually care if somebody believes them), and sell the revolutionary device to the masses... Here we go again...
And some people believe Apple does a better job? LOL, sure they do, they target the more gullible and naive users. People who don't want any hassle with their settings... Everything has to be easy, simple, enjoyable...
DAU's of course... Dumbest Assumable Users.
So be happy Apple understands you and gives you want you desire... (facepalm)
But at least they give there users what they think they want.
They make them believe they want it... Steve was a true inventive genius when it came to marketing. He knew how to target them, how to make them feel about his products... And voila, he got them by the balls, and very soon you heard nonsense like "Steve has improved my life" in the media... He proves my point of how susceptible his sheep really are and still are today
Cue Orson Welles in final scene of movie "1984."
Posted via CB10 / AT&T /Z10 STL100-3 /10.3.3.2205
Ummm...Orson Wells wasn't in 1984...John Hurt and Richard Burton were in the last scene...
Posted via CB10
Oops! You're right, i.e. John Hurt not Orson Welles. I was referring to the end, or near the end where he declares his love, which might have been for Julia or Big Brother.
They are so brainwashed that it's the only phone out there. And think that they came up with the idea first. Sure they came out with the toy . IPad and Ipod..... They started on the kids first cause that is where it all starts at . I think they are getting a little worried because they are losing ground and others are passing them.
But BlackBerry came out with the real phone.....a great communication device....
BlackBerry did market hard on the 'No Home Button' and new gestures when launching BB10 and Z10. It was the tech reviewers/analysts/media/FUD peddlers that successfully downplayed BB10 innovation saying the features were too unfamiliar to users who preferred the familiarity of a home button.
They clearly do something right because people are going bat-fecal crazy over animojis. Invention is the mother of all necessity. It's not Apple's fault BlackBerry didn't adopt that motto back in 2008.
Hate Apple with a passion, I would not put 1 red cent in their pockets. I wonder how apple heads will be purchasing the new phones. I understand their market in China is slowing down.
I miss the Z10!! And BBOS10
Get a Z30!

Bet JC and Alex Thurber are kicking themselves. Why oh why is the world so unfair. BlackBerry 10 was too far ahead, but with a Marketing budget of $4 a day, not much could be done. Guess BlackBerry 10 lovers have an easier device to transition to now compared to android. Oh what could have been.
BlackBerry didn't even appreciate the good features of BB10 well enough to bring them to Android. In fact they probably believed the all gesture UI of BB10 hurt sales and would harm BlackBerry Android.
Totally clueless.
I remember a concensus that BBOS consumers thought BB10 gestures were too hard to migrate over, so they went for the simplicity of iOS. My, how things have changed.
Give it a rest..... Google has strict policy as to how far anyone can alter androids ui.
I'm waiting for when Apple will copy Picture Password and claim its the most secure login of any device ever created in the history of the world.
I know, right. The whole time I was watching the presentation I just kept thinking about how amazing and ahead of its time WebOS, I mean BB10, really was. Come on guys, BB10 was totally a rip off of its own. What goes around comes around.
Not to mention all of the things the media calls new or revolutionary, like face recognition or iris recognition, or minimal bezels, etc etc. All of these things are present already on competitor phones, whether BlackBerry or others.
Wow, Apple is so fresh, so new, so inventive, original and creative... I wanna throw up, don't you?
I love it! BlackBerry had their chance and couldn't. Maybe they just never had a chance to begin with coming in so late when iOS and android controlled the market. Just like webOS couldn't even though they reacted faster.
At least now those gestures live on in iOS. Never a fan of the physical home button. Even now more of a reason to go iphone /ipad!
Love BB10, tried out BlackBerry's Android DTEK60 and no so impressed.
I only came to Blackberry after HP killed off WebOS and needed a new phone. BB10 was an improvement over BBOS7, but now that Apple has WebOS gestures, I will definitely pay the price to upgrade from iPhone SE to X.
I just don't know why BlackBerry didn't port these features over to Android. Still time I hope? I think bb10s features are still better. All said, give Apple credit. It's now the only coherent ecosystem across all mobile and nonmobile devices and it continues to bring on board the best of others, and notch them up a level at the same time.
May eventually get there on the new slab, but reckon apple will sue blackberry for copying there programming or something lol
Way too late for BlackBerry to catch up now. They had the OS figured out before it's time and then just gave up on it with terrible leadership at the company.
Posted via CB10
Even if they do manage to port them over people will say they have copied apple!
Apple does and BlackBerry doesn't!
Kick out Alex Thurber - this guy is a mess for BlackBerry!!!!
Liar and no vision and no clue about mobile handsets!
OS10 was and is still so advanced over anything!
And they killed it!
Now Apple has a clue to market that vision.
What ret****.
Now BlackBerry frustrates Android-Berry users with their decisions!
Posted via CB10
Wonder if my passport could be loaded with ios.....
BlackBerry isn't even able to load Android 7 on their ANDROID devices.
Apple has the iPhone X with taste of OS10 and BlackBerry offers the KeyOne with the Snapdragon 625 and old Android UI!
Wow!
We all had it back in 2013!
Posted via CB10
Take it that's a no then, must admit still prefer my passport.
I love my Passport with OS.
My last BlackBerry after 2005 of loyalty...
Posted via CB10
Dude stop it with the loyalty card, I get it, you're upset, but BlackBerry has to make money, it's business.
Man you are tedious......
