Yet again - Apple sherlocks functionality - copying - instead of innovating which isn't a bad thing - it just proves that Apple can't innovate.
*Apple sherlocked these apps at WWDC 2025*
<https://www.macrumors.com/2025/06/11/apple-sherlocked-these-apps-at-wwdc-2025/>
MacRumors specifically talks about how Apple sherlocked several apps at
WWDC 2025 by introducing new features in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe that offer similar functionality to existing third-party solutions. Examples mentioned include enhanced Spotlight replacing features of Raycast and Launch Bar,
Call Assist acting like Robokiller and Truecaller, and Notes app for Apple Watch replacing various third-party note-taking apps on the watch.
I repeat that it's not necessarily a bad thing when Apple developers are forced to copy existing functionality because htey can't innovate, but it does provide more evidence that Apple long ago lost the ability to
innovate.
All Apple can do now to "innovate" is remove basic functionality so that
the poor Apple customer is forced to figure out a way to buy it back.
Oh, and Apple usually innovates a half dozen "exciting new emojis" too!

Subsuming functionality that exists in third party apps isn't
necessarily "sherlocking" them.
Alan, Apple has been taking ideas from other companies, improving them,
and making noise about their "innovation" for decades. Of course, same
is true of Google!

I never said that they hadn't, asshole.

You have denied that Apple copies others since the went to larger phones since, well, Apple introduced a plus-size phone. At the time you stated
Apple was just "following consumer trends" when larger Android phones
had been out for years?
