While it doesn’t get a massive hardware overhaul, the iPhone 16 still manages to raise the bar for what a smartphone can do. Thanks to Apple Intelligence and some thoughtful design changes, the iPhone 16 will debut with capabilities that will make even flagship Android users green with envy. So, now that we’ve swallowed the bitter pill, here are some of the iPhone 16 features we’re dying to see on Android – at least on flagship phones – that Google and Samsung can’t move fast enough.

Competition between flagship smartphones usually comes down to small things. But this year's iPhone clearly stands out for the way it combines capability with convenience.

While Galaxy and Pixel devices have their own tricks, iPhone simply knocks it out of the park with its new Voice Memos features. The update brings support for multi-track recording, which is primarily aimed at musicians and songwriters, with the latter also benefiting from the new transcription option.

If and when the feature becomes available for Android devices, it will undoubtedly make it onto our list of Android apps every musician should have.
