6 iPhone Features That Were Copied By Apple From Other Devices

Let’s be clear, both companies Google and Apple lift ideas from each other to perfect their operating systems and provide a wide range of opportunities. Google has recently announced some of the new features that are a part of the upcoming new Android P operating system. These gestures essentially work almost exactly how it does on the iPhone X or other iPhones.

OLED Displays

OLED displays have been used by one of the largest smartphone manufacturer Samsung since 2010 and we finally saw Apple use the technology eight years later. Today, almost every flagship out there uses an OLED display but it was first implemented by Android companies like OnePlus, LG, HTC, Huawei, Google.

Wireless Charging

Apple was so late in this to implement the wireless charging especially since we have seen Qi wireless charging on Android smartphone since the year 2012. It was first introduced on the Nexus 4 and was later introduced in every Samsung flagship device henceforth.

Water Resistance

Sony was the first smartphone company to introduce their gadgets that were both the dust and waterproof. It became one of the highest requested features by Apple iPhone users and Apple finally introduced in the year 2016 it to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

Full View Displays

Before the iPhone X, Apple was using the same design for the all the iPhone since the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus that included the full view displays. In fact, Apple is still following the same design for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

Hey Siri

Even though calling out to your voice assistant for scheduling alarms and reminders have become a staple, it wasn’t so easy on the iPhone earlier. One can simply say “Hey Siri” to launch the digital voice assistant without simply doing any other thing. Although this feature sounds awesome, it was first introduced on the Moto X in the year 2013. It was the first phone that could detect your voice when a user would say “Ok Google Now” to wake up the phone when on standby.
