This article is tragic.

I concur...

Sorry but I stopped reading the article after the 1 entry.

Apple air pod pro were released in 2019

I have Sony headphones WITH transparency mode and spatial audio which were released in 2018....

So did Apple also copied Sony ?

I guess the writer is blinded by his fanboism

What a pathetic attempt to draw readers with clickbait.
Well, I use adblock just for this type of articles.
Pathetic and clearly wrong.

Hey NotebookCheck, can you please let go of this misleading writer or at the very least remove this terribly wrong article? I've had all these features in my Sony headphones long before the first airpods came out.
Articles like this will just push people AWAY from this site. You won't get more readers.

Amused to find my comment removed despite not saying anything offensive or against the rules  ;D  Happy to say it again: take a look at the article writers history

How low can you go?

NBC: Really low.

Lol, and who did apple blatantly take those idea from Mr author? Obviously an apple fan boy who isn't aware that most apple features are taken from other manufacturers and brands 2/3 years later🤣

Horrible article! First off noise cancelling has been in other headphone for example JBL the rock headphones. So in terms apple stole that from them. Next the find my buds. That has been in devices for a long time, apple didn't do anything special to put the into there buds. Lastly the hands free assistant is also in many and many of devices yet another nothing stolen. Since you lie about stuff here are some facts apple came out with a update to kill old phone batteries. They also lost and have to give people batteries. Whats sad is they still lost nothing from doing bad and still gained money off of cheating you. $30 battery replacements when they should be free us a joke (apples batteries are $10 or so to make if that). Android all the way!

What even is this article?!
Apple is NOT the inventor of either of the mentioned features..

So basically Apple blatantly stole the features of other companies. They didn't even take the effort to rename them. Shameful article.

What a joke of an article. Classic fanboy thinking they invented everything they do.

Apple hasn't innovated since the first iphone

lol, just lol.

Hahahah what is this article, this can't be real.

Bro what? Sony did all of this before Apple. Also, the original 2017 pixel buds had "Hay Google" support. Most of the other things Apple did before Google, but Apple sure wasn't the first with any of those.

This article is so stupid literally everything mentioned has been done by most companies if not all that want to have a comparative advantage in the premium headphones/earbuds market. I would even say that apple had "copied" some of those features from Sony. I would honestly love to know how someone who thinuks of themselves as someone who knows about tech could actually write an article that bad. Please know your s*** before you go off writing an article about something.

Somebody didn't do their homework. Ask Mom for another hot pocket and rewrite your article factually.

Go write for MacRumors instead. What a waste of bytes.

Don't believe everything you read. Most of these features have existed on Android and in Google pixel buds. Not to mention other devices have had features like these before apple in some cases. Oh and do you like your apple notification bar? Well your welcome that came from Android.

This is a terrible article with completely wrong information. You shouldn't be allowed to write such rubbish. 'hey Google' assistance worked from the first day I got my pixel buds. @notebookchat.com - you are losing credibility

So sad, but the only thing original that Apple does, is their lack of customisable OS'S, and their original presentations of their NEW product's, and how X apple product is the best so far, till next year! Sony has had most of these things plus more, and other's still do it better, plus more. Better still, the other brand's work with non-apple hardware as well! I'm guessing this reviewer believes its impossible for ANY Apple device to be hacked, broken into, immune to failure also. I'm not saying some stuff isn't good but misleading the public either via lack of research or negligence devalues the credibility of anything read from this site, but it's not the first time!

Is this an onion article? The fact you listed one reference shows you have some homework to do.

Echoing the sane posts on this thread. Please research further as your information is misleading,  basically clickbait.

Is this article serious? Smells like an onion. All of those things are just natural progressions for ear buds that exist in one way or another on other Google products and other wireless earbuds.

This is blatantly false and the Apple fanboyism is out of control. Many of these features have been around for years on Android and with other companies. I have the original Galaxy buds and they can do many of these things, and Sony has the same features on their buds.

Yes, Apple's ecosystem is solid, but more often than not, they're actually the ones taking ideas that are not their own and tweaking them to fit their purposes. But people keep thinking it's the other way around like Apple is inventing these groundbreaking new features when they're not.

Damn. Everyone makes mistakes, Mr. Author man, but come on. If you make a mistake as big and as annoying as this article, at least have the decency to take it down.

Uhhh sorry but Google had "hey Google" assistance summon since pixel buds... My pixel buds and buds A both do that. I don't think actually research was done during this article...

There's air of errors in this article.

wow. Apple didn't invent any of these things.

Did Apple pay for this article? I wonder if an article full of false accusations could have legal repercussions...

Oh wow.

Um he/she has only been posting on this site since 2022. That explains it all right there folks.

Did you Google anything before you wrote this piece........o.s.?

Please do some research, then snap your keyboard and never call yourself a techwriter.., please.

Ok.
By selling earbuds that connect to devices using the Bluetooth protocol to transmit audio via vibrations into the user's ears, Apple must've copied someone, no?
The logic here is so dumb.

The author of this article is a total hack. Bose had all the features he said Google stole long before apple. Apple is the real thief here in this article. But this author if you want to call him that is to busy kissing the taint of apple to do any real research. Apple has been ripping other tech companies off for years.

Well it's a bit sad to read this on a website I used to consider respectable.

I feel like the editorial board show take  down this article full of falsities and remind to its author one thing or two about proper research before writing and publishing stuff.

That's a nice change, it's usually Apple borrowing from everyone else.

I'm sorry, but this article is filled with claims that have no basis...
1. "Find My" was already available with the first generation of PixelBuds from 2020 (even for individual earbuds).
2: "Hey Google" and hands-free operation have also been available on the 1st. Generation of PixelBuds
3: transparent mode already existed far ahead of Apple with earbuds from brands like Jabra etc.

I love this website actually, but this article is incredibly poorly researched and almost sounds like it was written by an Apple Fanboy...

Reading all the other comments is great. This is such a bat take. Most of these features were around long before the Apple Airpods Pro. Some of them have even been in previous Pixel Buds. This is such a poorly researched article and blatant Apple fanboyism. Do better next time, please.

Ignorant people shouldn't be allowed to publish an opinion article. This is so stupid. Apple didn't invent these features.
