The big new feature in iOS 16 is lock screen widgets: true, actionable, customizable widgets that work on everything from a 5-year old iPhone 8 to the newest iPhone 13 series.
And now, a bunch of bloggers claim that Apple “stole” this feature from Android.
Accepting this premise however, is a very, very slippery slope for… Android itself! The reality is that in 2022, no major Android phone supports lockscreen widgets in a user-friendly fashion. You don’t have the feature on the flagship Google Pixel, you have very limited customization on Samsung phones, the reality is that it doesn’t really exist natively on Android.
