Why do I have an iPhone? Seems like they just copy shyt off Android
Apple is bringing split-screen multitasking to the iPad, which some Android devices have had for years.
With iOS 9, which debuts in the fall, you'll be able to view two apps alongside one another on the iPad thanks to a new feature called Split View.
Both LG and Samsung have been offering split screen multitasking on their Android phones and tablets for ages. On certain Samsung devices, you can open more than one app on the home screen and resize them with a feature called Multi-Window. LG has a similar feature called QSlide that also lets you tweak the transparency of each window, too.
You'll be able to move videos to the lower corner of your iPad's screen while using other apps.
Another new feature to debut with iOS 9 is Picture in Picture, which is exactly what it sounds like. When you're in a Facetime call or when you're watching a video, you'll be able to minimize that video so that it only takes up the bottom corner of your screen. This allows you to check your email, send a text message, or look at your Facebook without having to interrupt the video.
LG introduced a similar feature called QSlide to its G2 Android phone back in 2013. It lets you resize apps and move them around the screen. You could do this with a video to get the same effect as Picture in Picture.
Apple Pay will soon be able to store loyalty cards from your favorite stores, which Google Wallet has always done.
When iOS 9 debuts this fall, it will let you keep your store credit cards and loyalty cards within the app, eliminating Passbook. Google Wallet already offers this capability.
The iPhone 6 is Apple's first phone with an NFC chip, which means you can tap it to make payments instead of using a credit card. Android phones have had this feature for years.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus both come with NFC support, or Near Field Communication, which means you can tap your phone against certain payment terminals to buy things rather than using cash or a credit card. Android phones have had this feature for years, even though mobile payments haven't really taken off just yet. Phones from as far back as 2012, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, have NFC built-in.
Android had third party keyboards long before the iPhone did.
Ever since iOS 8 launched last year, iPhone owners have been able to download third-party keyboards such as Swype and Swift Key as an alternative to Apple's keyboard. Android phones have supported this capability for years.
