Samsung has that reachability thing since note 4. Different gesture to activate but works exactly the same. Guess apple has got a way of hyping up something unlike other companies. Many people still don't know many android phones have this reachability thing and it works as well as the iPhone's.It's not about rushing and cramming as many features as possible; it's about introducing new useful features that work seamlessly in a new phone.
When I was an intern in 2004, I was a supporting role in a TD department in car electronics company. The project was about implementing car camera. The clarity that was achieved then is already as clear as what we see today. Many TD companies have a lot of projects on hand and are way more advanced than what we see in market today. So don't be surprised how many advanced stuffs apple and other companies are doing now.
As for seamlessly.. When Apple introduced large iPhone 6 and 6 plus, they also introduce a feature known as Reachability.. To double tap the home button to lower the screen to half so that the thumb can reach the top of the lowered screen.. It works even when inside an app. Sure.. Android has apps like one hand mode for Xposed mod on rooted device but nowhere it works as seamlessly as iPhone.

For the unreliable suppliers part, got to be careful if buying apple. Some iPhones are using Samsung SDI batteries.
Just Google and you'll see. I rmb that BMW and Tesla also using batteries from Samsung SDI. Quite a number of companies using batteries from them since they are one of the largest suppliers.
Not arguing just pointing it out. Don't know what you mean by not being able to use it with a thick case but it works well and it works system wide with any apps. Even games cuz it just shrinks the whole screen down to one corner depending on which side of the screen you choose. It was a feature that worked, not really a gimmick. In fact, I find the reachability on my iPhone more gimmicky than the note 4 implementation. The iPhone one just move the top half of the screen down but doesn't shift the screen nearer to the hand you are using. So hitting back still requires some stretching.Wanna argue until the cows come home?
Most android phones require rooting to have this function. And samsung's implementation is weird. How are you going to use this with a thick casing? Note 4 was released same period as iPhone 6. Given that Samsung released big phones way earlier, how come they only had this "one handed operation" only in 2014? And does this function works seamlessly across most android apps?
You implement features when you need it. Not just add as gimmick.
In Apple QC we trust
