I mean isn’t that what all big companies do to each other? If iPhone is regarded as the first smartphone then technically all other ones are copying them.
I’m not a purist or anything, just see how all major players end up fairly uniform outside of some niche bits and bobs.
You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re missing half the equation. You see, the implementations here actually work fairly decently and feel nice to use. Still took them way too long, and they’re still getting too much credit. But the entire experience is more polished.
That either matters to you or it doesn’t. It didn’t used to for me, so I used Android for years since it’s significantly more customizable and capable.
Now I have multiple computing devices and need my phone to fulfill a more general role, and I’d like that to be an enjoyable experience. So I’m on iPhone again.

You can’t steal a feature, to be fair. Only the implementation can be stolen, not the idea.
