Google’s “Digital Wellbeing” suite for Android offers a focus mode that disables some apps, but this doesn’t offer niceties of Apple’s version like multiple distinct profiles, blocking specific people, and cross-device sync of settings.Īt WWDC 2021, Apple took quite a few notes from Google, launching “Live Text” to allow you to copy text from your camera or any photo and “Visual Look Up” to show information about anything you can point your camera at.

For Apple to not “steal” some of Google’s ideas, and vice versa, would leave the companies stagnating rather than growing. will rightfully build on each other’s successes and failures to ultimately craft better products. Steve Jobs famously quoted Pablo Picasso in saying “good artists copy great artists steal.” In the realm of tech, ideas are regularly shared, stolen, reworked, and improved – it’s the nature of the beast.Ĭompetitors like Apple and Google - or Coke and Pepsi, or Xbox and PlayStation, etc. iOS at WWDC 2021, let’s set down our pitchforks and have the right expectations.
