Google wants to transform iOS into an Android interface

In the war between Google (Android) and Apple (iOS), anything goes. After reproaching the European Commission to have “forget” his competitor in a matter of economic monopoly, the web giant is now prospecting directly among iPhone users. In a recent official blog post entitled “Bring the best of Google to your iPhone”, the company unveils several images of the phone to the apple, whose interface is filled with widgets Google. In subtext, GAFAM even suggests to its readers to replace some native iOS apps (like Safari, Photos or Calendar), by its own alternatives, namely Chrome, Google Photos and Google Calendar.

According to Google, using its widgets on an iPhone’s home screen should ensure that users no longer have to open the application menu. The company also recommends using Smart Stacks to stack multiple widgets on top of each other. Thanks to our usage patterns, iOS will then be able to determine precisely which widget should be displayed at what time of the day.
