No part of the definition of “introduction” implies that it is a first party app.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y agoTo introduce: “…; originate: introduced the new product in several test markets; ….” [1] [1] https://www.thefreedictionary.com/introduce https://www.thefreedictionary.com/introduce
- scarface74 4y agoIt still doesn’t imply it’s a first party product. I can “introduce Angular to my team”. That doesn’t mean I wrote Angular.
- mattigames 4y ago"Google introduces Angular" does mean that (even if you didn't knew what Angular is beforehand)
- scarface74 4y agoIt absolutely doesn’t. People have been “introducing” other people for centuries. Where in any dictionary doesn’t imply any such thing? So if a consultant from McKinsey “introduces cloud best practices to company $x”, does that imply that McKinsey created AWS?
- mattigames 4y agoAll your examples include "to", an specific demographic which implies it wasn't created by them, languages have a lot of subtext clues like that.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y agoIndeed, it doesn’t imply creating a product; “introduce” can directly mean creating a product through the sense of originate: ”…create…” [1] [1] https://www.thefreedictionary.com/originate https://www.thefreedictionary.com/originate

- scarface74 4y ago“Words Mean Things”. Tell me where in any dictionary does “introducing” something imply who created it?
- mgkimsal 4y agohttps://www.dictionary.com/browse/introduce https://www.dictionary.com/browse/introduce to create... as if for the first time;
- scarface74 4y agoOut of the six definitions and you conveniently skip the first one: > to present (a person) to another so as to make acquainted. Which is exactly what Apple did in the submitted post. Also if you look at the 2-4th definitions. The submitted title jibes directly with what Apple did.
- FireBeyond 4y agoIf you're going to complain that he skipped the first definition (hint, subsequent are no less valid), then I'm going to complain that as the app is not a person, the first definition is invalid.
- mgkimsal 4y ago"Tell me where in any dictionary does “introducing” something imply who created it" I just did, then you moved the goalposts.
