Honor MagicOS 8.0 has presented an idea to take advantage of the mobile screen, without trying too hard!
In the fast-paced world of technology, the competition between Android mobile devices and Apple’s iPhone has been a constant source of debate. One of the recurring themes in this rivalry is the adoption of features between platforms. In one of the most recent proofs of this claim, the Chinese firm Honor has copied the sleep function that Apple released in iOS 17without a hint of dissimulation.
The cycle that occurs back and forth may bother some, while there are those who argue that innovation is fueled by inspiration and continuous improvement and there are even brands that pride themselves on being worthy of imitation. Thanks to the post from X’s @techdroider account, which we share below, There are some notions to judge this case without having both devices at hand.

Honor copies the Sleep Mode of iOS 17
With the release of iOS 17 in 2023, Apple introduced the Sleep or StandBy feature. A specially designed mode to make better use of the iPhone screen in landscape orientation and it goes great on the nightstand.
The addition of StandBy mode or Sleep mode in iOS 17 completely transforms the look of the iPhone lock screen. This view of the user interface offers quick access to different types of information through system widgets and third-party applications.
With all the advantages in terms of design and practicality, it is not difficult for it to be a function that others want to have. With your operating system MagicOS 8.0, Honor has done the same, without altering much of the iOS version and the result is quite striking.
Honor is far from the only brand imitating the best features of Apple services and devices. This year, Huawei will launch its Watch Fit 3 smartwatch, which will blatantly copy the design of the Apple Watch.
According to reports that have leaked details of the device, Huawei will break its own rules. Until now, His watches had been characterized by having original designsespecially that of its predecessor, Watch Fit 2. But in terms of news, not many relevant changes are expected, for now.
The dispute between Android and iPhone over feature adoption is not a new phenomenon in the technology world. While is true that Imitation can generate controversy and raise doubts about the originality of a devicebeing the one that everyone wants to imitate is an indicator, even necessary, that does not need too many explanations.
