Eh, Apple brought all the basic smartphone features to the market, but they seemed to stop innovating in good ways. Their Apple Pay is proprietary, whereas Samsung phones simply create a magnetic field that mimics a card strip - so they can be used anywhere someone can swipe and the business doesn't need to buy a special terminal. Android also has handy features like using a swiping motion to quickly take a screenshot (I blew an iBot's mind when he saw me do that on my phone.)

Samsung removed MST (the magnetic strip faker you just described) after the S10 series, the S20 and up don't have it
That's crazy... the fold has it (I think I have the Fold 2.) Damnit, can't keep anything nice....
