Oh good grief, could tech "journalism" please outgrow their juvenile obsession with tiny signifiers? "Apple used orange first, you can't use it now!" It's the tech equivalent of 'everything deploying the same very general plot arc is a copy.'
Next up: If anyone but Mercedes-Benz makes a 4 wheeled automobile, they're copycats, because Mercedes did 4 wheeled automobiles before anyone else.

@FeralRobots And really...who gives a shit?
@mrdiamondj fuck, not me, I wear a Garmin that I don't plan to replace at least until I can't get it through a day on a single charge.
@mrdiamondj (I drank the smartwatch koolaid when I decided to get serious about weight loss, so I am at least that far gone.)
@FeralRobots I just got a Galaxy 6. Liking it way more than I thought! Very nice to not have to have your phone right there all the time. But it's a copycat industry...I remember when the market had Google One, Xbox One, Sonos One, etc.
