Well, they've shown exactly what Google had shown a month ago at Google IO.
- gehsty 8y agoI guess that’s probably when they started working on it as well /s....
- mikkelam 8y agoObviously they have spies ;)
- Tomte 8y agoThat's obviously untrue. A major difference between Apple and Google: Google does lots of fancy machine learning to make Google Now magically anticipate everything. Apple introduces a kind of low-key programming in graphical form to let the user shape Siri's abilities. I find the latter very interesting, it's a bit like Tasker lite. And more important, the first few times Google Now appeared on my phone I was creeped out. Just because I had googled an event weeks ago on another device doesn't mean I want you to tell me to leave now and present me with the map and traffic information!
- izacus 8y agoWhy are you talking about Google Now? There hasn't been any announcements on I/O about it, it's pretty much a deprecated brand. The common point here are phone use management features which were unveiled on both OSes in the same year it seems.
- cube2222 8y agoSorry, was commenting on the part mentioned in the title, which -was- already introduced at Google IO. Anyways, still, there's not much innovation happening there these days in my opinion.
- madeofpalk 8y agoI doubt they developed this entire system wide feature in one month. If they did, it would be _very_ impressive.
- cube2222 8y agoI'm not saying that. I just don't see any meaningful innovation.
- madeofpalk 8y agoDemanding 'meaning innovation' on a regular schedule is how you end up with TouchBar.
- Razengan 8y agoThen it's even more amazing that they could knock up a clone in just a month to announce it at their annual conference! Which happens to be the only time when they announce new OS features.
