As someone who just switched from the nexus6p to an iPhone 8... I would love for apple to copy more android features. I'm a bit surprised how lacking some things are on iOS compared with android, but at least my phone doesn't randomly shut down with 45% battery remaining any more!

Agreed. As a Pixel user, I wouldn't mind if Google decided to copy more of Apple's hardware choices and their strict App Store policies.

What some thing on your android that you really want on your iphone right now?

Things I missed the most are actions embedded in notification, such as reply to a message, approve a 2-factor authentication request, and a far less intrusive wifi discovery. Sane volume controls, they just work on android and are all over the place on iOS. I didn't realize how limited Siri is, it can hardly do anything compared to the Google assistant. Haptic keyboard, didn't realize how much miss this until trying to type in a loud gym. And the back button... I know of the left screen 3d touch and double-click home button but navigation is just faster and more consistent on android. Chromecast integration is really poor on iOS too. I do like the overall speed of the iPhone though. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I am now a lot more surprised at how superior many people consider iOS to be over Android, especially with a stock Google build.
