Apologies, iPhone users. These 5 brand-new iOS 17 features initially appeared on Android.

Yesterday, iOS 17 was formally unveiled at WWDC 2023.There are several ways in which iOS 17 and the Android operating system are comparable. Here is a list of nearly ten characteristics that

While the Vision Pro, Apple’s first augmented mixed reality headset, stole the spotlight at the opening keynote at WWDC 2023, iOS 17 also drew a lot of attention as Apple showcased a slew of fresh features and software updates for the mobile operating system.

Comparisons between Android and the most recent iOS 17 are, of course, unavoidable now that we know all that iOS 17 will bring to the iPhone. Let’s examine the aspects of the two operating systems that are comparable.

1) Smart display functionality while charging

With the addition of Standby capability by Apple, iPhones may now display a wealth of information while held in landscape orientation or when utilising wireless charging. Briefly, the screen will provide notifications for things like the calendar, smart home features, and picture albums.

For Pixel phones, the features that are now being launched have prevailed. The display of the mobile phone shows Google Photos, smart home buttons, Google Assistant, and other features when it is placed on the exclusive wireless charging station. Apple, though, may further the technology by making any MagSafe wireless charging pad usable.

2) Offline map downloads

We are unable to determine if this feature is a recent addition or perhaps a mistaken omission from earlier versions. Google has supplied offline navigation and the opportunity to download and utilise offline maps since 2012, but the fact that Apple is now providing it after a decade says a lot.Moreover, the feature allows you to download a rectangular area from the map and not the entire map so an upgrade is still required on this feature.  

3) Live Voicemail

Transcribing voicemails so that you may choose whether or not to access them was another function that was added. Although it goes by the name of “live voicemail,” we have already seen something similar with Google’s Call screen function.

In order for the caller’s information to be used by the recipient to determine if the conversation should be continued, Google included the capability for its Pixel phones back in 2019. Even if Google implemented it earlier, we can only assume that Apple’s introduction will encourage the former to make the functionality available globally.

4) Dropping wake words for some commands

Instead of utilizing a wake word for each command, the new update allows you to roll out back-to-back instructions with only one voice command, “Hey Siri.” The brand wants to make using a smart assistant easy.

Google, however, came out ahead of Apple with their Android TV system in 2017 and their phone upgrade in 2019, respectively. ‘Quick Phrases’ was the name of the feature that allowed for ongoing talks. You may use this feature to access tasks like setting a timer or stopping an alarm without saying “Okay Google.”

5) Quickly undoing an autocorrected word

Reverting a term to its original spelling is another capability that Apple OS now provides. Okay, now we understand. This is as fundamental to every Android user as the system’s calling capability. For Apple, though, this is a significant change. where you may return to the term that was autocorrected. Despite the fact that Gboard has been providing this option for a very long time, you are still unable to just backspace the word; instead, you must manually choose and alter the word. So, yes, a significant upgraded feature.
