Early on in the smartphone era, it was pretty common for Android devices to liberally borrow some of the iPhone's more creative and novel features. In fact, one of the more interesting items to emerge during Apple's fierce legal battle with Samsung a few years back was an internal Samsung manual that detailed how to closely mimic the iPhone's icons and user interface on its own smartphone line.
A few years later, and with the smartphone market now at a point of maturity, the narrative of Android endlessly copying iPhone features has essentially run its course. These days, we're just as likely to see Apple borrow pre-existing Android features and introduce it as a brand new iPhone feature. Widgets, OLED displays, and Night mode for low-light photography are just three examples of iPhone features that were first brought to market on Android smartphones.
