Apple spent a great deal of time taking the best parts of Android, like its rich home and lock screen customizations, and integrating them slowly into its phone software. Remember how Android offered widgets way before iOS?
Well, it looks like Apple’s catching up with its competition. For my latest matchup, I’m putting the new lock screen customizations with iOS 26 and Android 16 to the test to see which one does it better. I’ve always preferred Android’s incredible customization, but I’ve been very impressed by what Apple has done with iOS 26.
