> Yeah, I'm pretty happy with how Google tends to follow Apple's better ideas
they just innovate in different areas. and they borrow from each other all the time. Android introduced multi-tasking, notifications, PiP, widgets, etc. iOS introduced the app screen, app store, gesture navigation, fingerprint unlock, etc. I think Android tends to cater towards power user features (like PiP and multi-tasking) whereas iOS tends to focus on UX (like gesture navigation).
Finger printer reader was first introduced in Motorola Atrix (Android). Then apple bought the company that provided finger print scanner to Atrix.

I'm reading this from ArchLinux on an M2 Macbook Air that i just bought. Works great, but i suspect some drivers aren't tuned yet.
It's frustrating. They make fantastic hardware, but their software leaves a lot to be desired, and they are extremely insistent on maintaining control over the devices that they sell. The M1s look like a small step in the right direction, but they have a lot of lost trust to rebuild.
