Why Android Is Copying the iPhone X's Most Hated Feature

Sometimes imitation is just a baffling form of flattery. Nowhere is that more often the case than with Android and iOS, dueling mobile operating systems that have been "borrowing" features from one another for years. Many of these moves have made sense: The iPhone slowly adopted popular Android phone elements such as wireless charging and edge-to-edge displays, while Google has learned from Apple's App Store and quick settings menu. But in the next version of its mobile operating system, Google plans to emulate one of the iPhone X's least favorable features: the notch at the top of the display. According to a report from Bloomberg, Google is working on an "overhaul" of its Android platform that will include the iPhone X's signature notch at the top of its displays.
