Apple announced iOS 11 last week and many people rushed to install it even if it is still in the preview stage for developers.
Just like any new iOS release, there are differing opinions from Apple friends who are overly excited about what the company has added to iOS 11 and the Android community, which is watching and laughing because most of the new iOS features have been on Android for years.
Ένα βίντεο που δημοσιεύτηκε στο YouTube δείχνει 6 από τις δυνατότητες που φέρεται να αντέγραψε η Apple από τη Samsung και γενικότερα το Android. Η σύγκριση που παρουσιάζεται στο βίντεο γίνεται μεταξύ ενός Samsung Galaxy S8 και ενός iPhone and as you will see it is clear that there are indeed some similarities.
The first of the features said to be pre-existing in Android is the one-handed keyboard update that is part of iOS 11. As shown by user XEETECHCARE, iPhone users and Samsung device users have devices with almost the same look and features only that Apple was the second to make them available.
The second iOS 11 feature that is very similar to the Android feature is advanced tool screenshot tool, which not only features an identical thumbnail of the screenshot at the bottom of the screen, but also provides editing tools similar to those found on Samsung devices.
Then, there is the new Control Center, which can be further customized to iOS 11 with shortcuts to the functions that users want. In Samsung, these shortcuts are called quick actions and have been around for so long while iOS users are discovering them now.
Notifications also have Android-inspired options in iOS 11, with users now able to hide on-screen previews locking. Of course, these settings have been around for a long time on Android and Samsung phones. Apple users have them =in 2017.
In addition, iOS 11 acquires a new feature called "Upload Applications" or "Offload Apps," which frees up storage space used by a particular application but retains its documents and data. Of course, this is similar to the cache option available on Android, though users also have bonus options to free up space, manage the application, and delete all data from the same menu.
Finally, there is a screen recording tool that is similar to Samsung's. It allows you to record what is happening on your screen and then save the video. The Samsung Galaxy S8 already has such a feature that offers fast enrollment and screenshots.
It's quite clear that these iOS features have been inspired by Android, and this time Apple can't boast of being the first to announce them, though they presented them as very important innovations….
