Can we decide not to say 'drop' for releasing something? I think dropping is removing something that was there before. Like, eh, losing. I had to read the title a few times for it to make sense.

That’s the English language for you... always evolving.

So… foldable screens on phones from two competitors, and Apple responds by showing us how a photo feature can save a failing relationship?  ;)

Vote with “your feet” and don’t read articles with “drops” in the title.

I don’t have an issue with the word “drops” but it’s a word that requires context to be understood.  A title doesn’t provide the context, and is just annoying.

For example, “He dropped in a picture of xyz into the website” works.
