Apple came out chasing Google in an event on Monday which announced dozens of new features for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac lines
Widgets, a staple of the Android home screen, and calls as floating notifications instead of events which hijack the full screen of the device have been available on Android devices for years - but will be available on iPhones too from this autumn.
New app tracking controls will be introduced to the App Store too, similar to the nutrition labels on food, giving a detailed view of what data each app uses to track users. A redesign of the iPhone home screen will also make a new feature called the"App Library" automatically organise various apps into groups, from social media apps through to streaming ones.
