Fantastic post. There is absolutely no denying that this rings true.
Most PC and Android users who will point out that their devices get
certain features before iPhones do neglect to mention that they are
usually cumbersome, hidden or barely functional. When Apple decides to
implement the same functionality, it is done in such a way that it
appears seamless and even the most novice of users are able to take
advantage of them right away. Also, what they implement sometimes
appears like the most obvious thing, such as the way that Mac OS now
hides every window when you click on the desktop or natural scrolling.
