Yes, this highlights several points:
1. Different companies have different focus and strategies. I would say Google likes to experiment, but sometimes has poor follow-through. Apple often waits a few generations before committing to new technology, so they often are not innovation leaders, but they execute well.
2. Roll-outs often do not occur all at once. There might be blockers which are not immediately visible, such as regulational, financial, cultural. A regulational example would be how Apple Watch's ECG was not rolled out world-wide at first, and was spread slowly as various countries gave approval for this feature.
- smileybarry 4y agoApple Watch ECG is a good example: it required actively applying for regulatory approval, and they ended up accomplishing that on non-US/EU territories. Whereas Google just sticks to the same 10-or-so countries for rollout. (I had Nexus/Pixel phones for a decade up until recently)
