Apple copied by the competition once again. In 2014 Jonathan Ive, Apple’s senior vice president of design, said that he didn’t like that other companies were “inspired” by the company’s designs from him.
In response to a question about what he thought of Xiaomi’s design, which has been accused of copying Apple.
We can underline the phrase of Steve Jobs: “Great artists copy, geniuses steal”, Apple continues to hit the nail on the head. This time the leading role is for Samsung and WhatsApp, we will tell you below.
Apple copied by Samsung, cloning lock screen and other functions.
This time, Samsung has copied the iOS 5 lock screen customization in the latest OneUI 16 beta update. Lock screen customization in iOS 16 is the most important feature of iOS 16.
Together with iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island, this feature gives iPhone a whole new look and helps customers give their devices a more personalized look.
While some Android manufacturers are already trying to take advantage of Dynamic Island through software.
Samsung has decided to take inspiration from iOS 16 and give a similar look to the lock screen of your device.
Samsung’s process for customizing the lock screen with OneUI 5 Beta 3 closely resembles the iOS 16 approach.
The Korean company currently offers five different watch models, while Apple offers eight. Both operating systems also allow users to change the color of the clock.
When it comes to adding new wallpapers, both operating systems offer collections with wallpapers of similar relief.
Apple offers built-in and third-party widgets, while Samsung currently only offers notification widgets.
WhatsApp: similarities with Facetime.
WhatsApp offers fast connections for FaceTime-like calls and encryption for video calls with up to 32 people.
The iOS app adds an important feature for all users: the ability to share a connection to start a call with a single touch.
This feature is very similar to the ability to share a connection to start a FaceTime call with friends, which was first introduced in iOS 15.
The WhatsApp announcement comes from a Facebook post by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta.
Mark said, “Starting this week, we’re introducing calling connections in WhatsApp so you can share a connection to start a call with one touch.”
“We are also testing secure and encrypted video calls for up to 32 people. There will be more news soon.”
With iOS 15, several improvements have been made to FaceTime. One of the features available is Quick Connect, which allows users to make a call. This feature is also available on WhatsApp from this week.
Another cool feature announced by Zuckerberg is end-to-end encrypted video calling with up to 32 people, which is currently unavailable.
From now on, users will only be able to make audio calls with multiple users. This feature was introduced because people are less and less reliant on video call services for study or group work.
This year alone, WhatsApp has added several new features for users, such as the possibility to reply to a message with any emoji, the increase in the limit of groups, the announcement of the new “community” function and the improvement of group chats. , which allows administrators to delete messages or groups.
After the death of Steve Jobs, there were many rumors that Apple would lose its ability to continue to innovate. Many years have passed since then and the company continues to build on its successes.
Logically, this is not a coincidence, but responds to a series of guidelines that have marked the development of this company since its foundation, Apple copied by the competition and sometimes it is a privilege to be copied.
