Apple and Google have a long and storied history of "borrowing" ideas from one another, especially when iOS and Android are concerned. Things have gotten to the point where, after years of back and forth, the number of unique features on each platform is pretty low.But each new iteration of Android and iOS software comes with some exclusive new features that the other platform could benefit from. The reveal of iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 is no exception, and there are plenty of impressive things that will be launching on iPhones later this year.I've been a loyal Android user for the past 15 years, and even I have to admit that Google should be taking notes right about now. Android should definitely steal these five iOS 27 features as soon as possible.Reframe

That means Reframe is capable of taking your photos and altering the perspective, changing the look and angle in the process. Best of all, it doesn't just work on Apple's spatial photos, or even photos taken on an iPhone. The photos can come from any camera, and Apple Intelligence will be able to run them through Reframe.You adjust the perspective on your screen, based on a real-time preview, and generative AI will fill in all the gaps to make it look as though you shot that photo from a totally different angle. This means you don't need to worry so much about photo composition, because iOS 27 will be able to fix it for you.New parental controls
