APPLE V/S ANDROID V/S GOOGLE
Apple, over the past few years has incessantly been a brand that stands most unique and exclusive amongst its contemporaries in the Smartphone market in terms of the hardware and software.
Can apple give us some Android OR Google features making it copycats? Argument is still on, as for many it’s a , “YES !”.
“ALTHOUGH”
Few of the following mentioned features approve of the argument made above possible:

- New vibration pattern particularly in iPhone 6S or upcoming iPhone 8
- In line video in a minimised state.
- Uninstalling stock apps is possible on iOS 10 similar to previously enabled android feature.

- Categories tab in app store is back.
- The Voice recognition assistant being upgraded, gains new abilities as Apple is opening up a Siri third party API FOR DEVELOPERS WHICH MEANS it has an app support system for using third party apps , helps one in giving Siri detailed commands.

- ( Note: it’ll automatically start clearing up the cached data upto 2 gb also, if device is really low on storage)
- Using Maps has become easier in Apple, due to the upgrades in iOS 10, yet, Comparisons are being made in Google Maps and apple Maps as data sources of both are relatively same but the execution of Google Maps makes it a little more user friendly for a lay-man as well as for the superior lot.
