This is never ending story in every fan based forum
Android / Google for sure, copies some of Ios / osX feature (google music, google drive, google pay, google photos, google now ... ), and vice versa (live photos, more cam mpx, retina flash, 4k vid recording, split view multitasking, apple pencil, bigger phone, smaller tablets ..... well different name, with "better performance" as they said, but come on, it's the same concept which android phone has been using for years..
The difference is some android phone try to "re-image" iphone avowedly, but ios always have "reason" for the "so called" copied features
Of course, aparts from all of that, some really amazing innovation do comes from both os (force touch ?? Cool)
Samsung may be a copycat at their early age, but now, they do give some great innovation. Samsung pay is amazing.
Quite a long time I don't use android phone, all because of the lagging issues, I switch many android phones for years and never get wht I'm looking for, then I switch to ios 3 years ago and loved it so much (still do), and swear never to look back , better os support, no lagging, clean and simple.
But hey, I tried note 5, amazing screen, nice body built, and no lag at all (of course huge ram consumption as well ). Really nice feature, Spen is great, no complaint (at least for now). And I love my note 5 . That remind me to never say never Lol.
and for me, it's nothing near iphone 6+, some curving at back cover, glass material and totally different home button, how come it's iphone "alike" ? Because of the size, candybar and touch screen ? Seriously ...
(Of course I still love my iphone 5 as well, so not not taking side or biased here
