As an Apple user, what are they behind on? What features are other makers shipping that Apple is missing?

(Genuinely curious, perhaps there are third-party apps I can use to bridge the gap.)



Apple fans would be going crazy with excitement if Apple unveiled Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (AKA "nano banana"). It's the most powerful image editing tool since Photoshop 1.0.


Pardon my ignorance, but is this part of Android or a standalone app?

Is it something that is not usable on Apple devices?


It powers part of the Google Photos app on Android. It can be used on Apple devices through Gemini, but it is not well known yet.


Probably because Google marketing is the worst. Wtf is “nano-banana.” This is straight out of a Silicon Valley HBO skit.


I can almost excuse them for not hyping this too broadly because of how disruptive to certain jobs it will be.


You need to spend a week to disable all AI features in Pixel. You need to spend just a day to disable all AI features in iPhone.
