It’s an article about a new feature in iOS. It’s factually wrong and awful but it doesn’t claim anywhere that the face detection is revolutionary.

What was your goal by bringing Android into this? That can only result in unproductive discussions and it’s also kinda irrelevant.

Because the reaction to this on HN is like most other things Apple announces after others already have, and as often is the case (and not helped by the article) it misattributes magical features that aren't even in the feature being discussed. I guess I should've just kept my groaning to myself.

You might be a victim of confirmation bias. Not everything should be seen from the Google vs. Apple angle.
