>contrary to Google

My Android phone worked out my home and work location without me telling it. That was a bit weird.

Every time I switch back to Android tricks like that are actually kind of nifty (but not enough to get me to stay for long).

My colleague was really impressed by Google Photo's automatic indexing of pictures being able to find the most obscure objects in pictures

iOS does that too — on-device! — but as a result may not identify as many obscure objects. Seems to handle common ones well, though.

That sums up most of iOS's ML-ish features vs Android, slightly less impressive, but on-device so privacy is improved

iOS does that too – after a while of carrying it around.
