Apple hasn’t been an industry leader for decades. The reality is actually the opposite of what you said. There’s no innovation coming out of iOS. Android launches cool features and 4-6 years later iOS might add them. Sometimes their additions are crap, like their implementation of closed captioning, which only works for a couple of sentences and then stops. Their keyboard scrubbing is inferior too, as are many other parts of the OS. iPhone does have some good things going for it, but they’re far from innovators or industry leaders these days.
Didn’t say they were. But the pixel 9 undeniably looks more like an iPhone than previous pixels.
Frankly, I haven’t seen anything I would call innovation from any manufacturer in the smartphone industry in years. Just the occasional parlor trick. The industry is continuing its slow crawl towards more and more similar devices.
And I’m writing this from a pixel 8, for whatever that’s worth.
