> It really feels like, with both iOS 8 and iOS 9, that Apple is scrambling to play catch-up and focusing more on copying Android's killer features than on differentiating themselves.

Isn't this a good thing? If Android has a good feature, I am happy if it comes to iOS, just as I am happy when good iOS features (e.g., ask for permission on first use, rather than on install) come to Android. I would be significantly less satisfied with an NIH mentality on either system.

I agree.

I'm just pointing out that it's a huge change in Apple's product planning from what came before, and I think it should be noted.

(and by "before", I pretty much mean "under Jobs")
