They are both copying each other.

I don't think that was his point. Companies take features from competitors all the time.

But even with that "feature sharing", Android's flagship phone still feels like more of a knockoff compared to any iPhone.

Having owned every Pixel and the Nexus predecessors, they have about a 3 year lifespan, software is slow and freezes start after a few updates, the battery isn't great to start but shits out after year 2, then oled burn-ins.

But I got $5 for my Nexus 6P bootloop class action settlement, so there's that I guess...

When your reviews are nothing by lies why should I believe anything else you said?
But when Apple copies your feature, your feature gets better. When you copy Apple's feature, it feels like a cheap knockoff.
Google's swipe typing is better than Apple's clone of it.
