thinking about the rabbit guy who thinks that apple couldn’t figure out how to turn the flash on on their own phones until someone made a flashlight app

Amyville Hoyrrorno, he’s 100% right. the original flashlight app used the screen and was innovative… you could select brightness and color temp right in the app. there was no flash at the time.
that is what revealed the usefulness of using a phone as a flashlight
3 3Samueloh dang I was only remembering when there was a back flash for the camera but no OS button to turn it on. Still, his point is still very dumb since his hardware startup just got evicerated by gpt-4o lol

apple is known for usurping their own star ecosystem developers, not as bad as microsoft but they definitely have a long history of it.

fuckface "squeaky" from:meyeah, but he's talking about "all your codes", as if the thing that was preventing Apple from developing this themselves was their access to the app's source code

AROAHI get your point, but we were using our phone screens as flashlights in the flip phone days. Let’s not pretend this was an incredibly innovative idea.
