6 Apple Features that Similar to Android

Jakarta – The iPhone 15 Series has finally rolled out and there are some amazing upgrades on offer. But, more than a couple of these upgrades are not exactly original. Apple and Android OEMs are no strangers to copying from each other, after all. 

Therefore, here are six features in iPhone 15 that similar to Android, as sourced by Android Authority. 

1. Action Button

The mute switch has long been a fixture on the iPhone line, but that changes with the iPhone 15 Pro series. The new phones offer an action button that can be remapped to your desired function or app.

Hardware shortcut buttons have been around for years on Android phones, with the likes of Samsung and BlackBerry offering programmable keys in the late 2010s. 

We don’t see them much nowadays, but phones like the Nokia XR21 and Samsung’s rugged phones continue to offer the option.

2. Folded-zoom Cameras

The most notable iPhone 15 Pro Max camera upgrade is the 5x folded-zoom camera, which works using most of the same principles as folded-zoom periscope cameras. 

In saying so, Apple’s execution differs somewhat from Android OEMs in that the camera sensor still faces outwards instead of sideways. 

So it’s not quite a periscope design, but it still uses prisms to reflect light to enable Apple’s 5x zoom, much like all other Android periscope cameras out there. 

amsung’s Ultra devices are still among the best camera phones thanks to a 10x 10MP periscope camera and 3x 10MP tele lens. However, we’re guessing that the iPhone will offer competitive or possibly even superior results at 5x. 

While we’re talking about cameras, Apple also borrows a UI feature from Google and Samsung when you zoom in. More specifically, the iPhone now displays an overlay window that shows off the entire scene as the 1x camera sees it.
