Google surprised and released a sharp version to the world more than a month ago Androidu 13, though of course only for its Pixel phones for now. Apple then he is preparing his presentation of the new iPhone 14 in September, in which it will already be available iOS 16. But what functions are in it Apple u Androidu inspired?
It's not a surprising tactic. Operating systems are already packed with many features, and adding new ones is getting harder and harder. However, manufacturers have historically inspired each other, and now it seems more important than ever. But don't think that it's only Google copying Apple's system, because it's no stranger to stealing a little bit either Android, and not only in the case of its current 13th version. It also goes back a long way to the past.

Lock screen widgets
The most obvious and visible function that the company Apple in a system iOS 16 introduces is the addition of widgets to the iPhone's lock screen. Thanks to framework updates Apple With WidgetKit, developers can now create widgets that provide quick and clear widgets directly on the lock screen informace. Widgets can be customized as well as placed just below the clock. Apple it also limits the number of views to four widgets, assuming they are all small in size. However, you can mix and match different widgets, as some, such as the Calendar app, can use either a 1×1 or 2×1 widget.

How long is this case Apple behind? Only about 10 years, because in case Androidversion 4.2 Jelly Bean was already able to do that. Unfortunately, it didn't last long because the lock screen widgets were in the system Android 5.0 Lollipop again removed. However, there are some third-party apps that bring back this feature and the device can do it too Galaxy.

Live text
Back in 2017, Google presented a completely new image recognition technology called Google Lens at its I/O conference. Since then, the company has continued to introduce constant innovations in this functionality, which allow you to point the camera at something and get the maximum information available from it. At the I/O 2022 conference, Google also announced a new feature called "scene exploration" that allows using the best phones running Android identify more products in your area with just one tap on the display.
Instead of Apple worked with Google to make Lens available to iPhone users, developed its own image recognition technology called Live Text and Visual Look Up. It was first presented at the WWDC21 conference and then made it into the final version of the system last fall iOS 15. With this "intelligence" he can iPhone recognize text and other objects, which provides the ability to interact with what is on the display, including the ability to translate texts in foreign languages. In a system iOS 16 thus the evolution of the Visual Look Up function is taking place, which is expanded to recognize, for example, birds, insects and statues, etc.

Shared photo library
Google has had shared photo libraries available since 2017, which it announced along with the Suggested Sharing feature in version 3.0 of the Google Photos app. By comparison, the last released version of Google Photos carries the version number 5.92, so it's been around for quite some time.

Overall, iCloud's shared photo library is pretty much the same, but there are a few drawbacks. The first is that you are limited to sharing albums with a maximum of five other people. It's great to have one place to share photos and videos with friends or family. However, you're likely to hit the five-person limit fairly quickly. It's not even a fair comparison, since Google Photos allows an unlimited number of contributors to an album. Now it will be possible to take photos in iOS 16 also automatically send to shared albums.

Improvements to the Mail application
Apple's native mail client for iOS it pales in envy compared to almost every other email mobile app. Even the macOS version of the app is completely different compared to the one you'll find on the iPhone. Apple however, it now brings some long-awaited features, such as the ability to remind later, schedule or cancel sending an email.
But all of these features have been available in Google's Gmail mobile and desktop apps for years. Functions such as reminders or cancellation of sending have been available since 2018, the possibility of scheduling emails appeared in 2019.

A standalone fitness app
It's been eight years since she was pro Android released Google Fit, giving users a single app to track various workouts and health metrics. It's absolutely amazing that the Fitness app hasn't been on as a standalone app yet iPhonech available at all. Unfortunately, even so, it looks like only a handful of users will be using the app when it's actually available. Because everyone has already found alternatives and practically has no reason to switch to Apple's solution, regardless of whether they have Apple Watch or not.
Is he stealing??? 🙏🤦♂️🤦♂️
So he's certainly not borrowing them with Google's permission, whatever the case with patents.
