But Your Name tells me Android always copies iOS! Which of you is correct?

LOL, I didn't know that since I have him filtered out.
There had been times when Android manufacturers have copied a feature on the iPhone, but it happens a lot less now, if at all. I wish there were Android devices with a Ring/Silent switch like the iPhone used to have, but Android manufacturers never copied that and Apple eventually decontented it to save money.
And to be fair, while Apple often is late with a useful new feature, that is already on Android, they had already planned to include it but they tend to meter out new features to create ongoing demand for new models. It would make no sense to put all the new features, at once, into a new model, when they can add them one or two at a time so that there is a reason to upgrade. Almost no iPhone users are going to switch to Android to get a new useful feature, they'll just wait until the iPhone offers it.
Android manufacturers don't have the luxury of slowly metering out new features because they are competing so intensely against each other.
A lot of the useful Android features that are missing on iPhone are conscious decisions by Apple to not include the feature in iOS. The fanbois will insist that "no one needs that feature," without understanding the usefulness of it.
