Though Apple is lagging behind in innovative features in recent times, I think they are at a higher level because of the excellent hardware that complements their software and vice versa. I think Google feels let down by the other mobile manufacturer's hardware and hence wants to bet big on improving its in house hardware expertise.

I am interested what innovative features are offered on other flagship phones that are not available for iPhone users? My impression is that smartphones matured enough not to have any major breakthroughs in recent years. That said Face ID is magic.

I feel like their approach to user-friendly security is plenty innovative.
