I mean isn’t that what all big companies do to each other? If iPhone is regarded as the first smartphone then technically all other ones are copying them.
I’m not a purist or anything, just see how all major players end up fairly uniform outside of some niche bits and bobs.
Temperamental? Like sometimes I would get an email and it wouldn’t show on the app but if I logged in to iCloud in the web it would be there. Also sometimes it hangs when refreshing but these problems seem to be less than previously.
Used to use Gmail, moved over to Icloud mail when I made the switch to Apple. I love how it scans the mail to add any event into my calendar if I want it to.
Sometimes a wee bit temperamental though
Exactly the same. Photos in all devices (except work, obvs) file shared on iCloud is on all devices, I’m hooked into the ecosystem now.
