This is literally something from 10+ years ago.

Yes. One person said "feature X always existed" and the reply was "not until iOS 6", which is corroborated by their link.

Based on what people are saying in that link, iOS existed for something like 6 years before it got working web page picture uploads. Meaning the person saying the feature has always existed was incorrect.

And iOS 3 introduced the App Store? And iOS 2 introduced copy paste? This doesn’t seem like much of a delay.

In the grand scheme of things. In a world billions of years old? 3 years isn't much of a delay. And those features, with the small "delay", still weren't "always" available - which was the claim ("the api always had those features").

IME WebSockets work fine on Firefox but not on Safari, at least not naively
