You are delusional. Apple has been copying Android for a long time. When Steve Jobs died so did iPhone innovations. Just the foldable phone alone Android has had for years. Also, Android already has animations when you unfold the phone with Axiom Wallpapers. This year you also got live translation that Android has had for years. AI built in? Android has had that for a couple of years.

What else did Android have first? Home screen folders, system-wide dark mode, app locking and hiding, custom app icon tinting, home screen widgets, call screening, rcs messaging, call recording, free icon grid placement, the app drawer/library, live wallpaper, changing default apps, pull down notifications, actionable notifications, quick settings toggles, clear all notifications, picture-in-picture video, a local files app, predictive text and swiping to type, night mode photography, reading text from photos, multi camera systems.....I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

It doesn’t matter who had the technology first; nobody is claiming Apple invented the foldable phone. My point is that after watching the unveiling, the iPhone Duo makes existing foldables feel outdated. Compared to my Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the interface on the iPhone looks far more polished and engaging. I’ve used foldables daily for the past two years, and I’ve already noticed several features that Apple handles much more fluidly. I’ll know for sure once I have both devices side-by-side next month, but as of now, I believe Apple has successfully raised the bar and outperformed the competition with their first attempt.

It’s standard practice for the industry; Apple introduces a feature, and Android manufacturers immediately scramble to copy it rather than innovate on their own.

Just gonna ignore that Apple have copied literally everything else from Android about this phone. And everything else they've done for the last 10 years huh tuganuts

Right like the form factor is already bad, and it doesn't really bring anything to the table. An animation that provides no actual benefit being it's Mark is pretty lackluster.

Once again Apple leaves Android in the dust trying to play catch up to latest iPhone innovations.

Apple copied the entire foldable concept, so there's that.
