Apple accused of 'Sherlocking' by copying popular app features at its developers' conference.
Apple has been accused of copying popular app features at its annual developers' conference. Critics argue that many of Apple's new iPhone features, such as recording and transcription services, have been copied from other popular apps. TapeACall, a call recording app, is one example of an app that faces competition from Apple's new feature, which is seamlessly integrated into iPhone calls and offers a free service in contrast to TapeACall's paid subscription. This practice, known as 'Sherlocking,' has been a point of contention for app developers who fear that Apple may be looking to replace their products.
