You will be surprised to know that OPPO has completely copied iOS 18 with ColorOS 15, which Apple uses on their iPhones and iPads. A few months ago, an event was arranged by Oppo in China, in which Oppo presented ColorOS 15 as a new operating system, which came with a completely new design. This is probably the biggest update from Oppo since the beginning. Even its launch video looked similar to Apple’s video. Icons have been redesigned, all the animations have been redesigned, and believe me, these are the same animations as in iOS 18. So it looks almost like iOS 18, but it arrived with Android in November 2024, just a few days after that China event.
However, this will not be just an aesthetic change. Oppo says that they have also made changes at a very low level of the system so that high performance can be achieved. The response speed of opening everything along with applications has been greatly optimized. It also brings a lot of artificial intelligence features, including a new and much improved voice assistant. Although this is for China, globally they will probably still use Google Assistant or Google Gemini.
But, Oppo has copied iOS 18 even in the voice assistant, which is quite noticeable, because when you open Siri on Apple, the same animation is now visible on Oppo devices as well, a colored bar across the screen that looks exactly the same. Apart from this, Oppo Share now also has an animation and activation gesture, which looked exactly like AirDrop. So, just bring the phones together, and it definitely looks like a clear copy.
Actually, Oppo has also integrated a way to send files from Oppo to iPhone with maximum speed, which is equal to the speed of AirDrop. Although it was initially said that it would be compatible with AirDrop, now it seems that it is an additional tool, but it can be installed. But I don’t understand when Oppo launched ColorOS 15 in November, why they named it lik this, because the features of OxygenOS and ColorOS 15 seem to be the same. Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme share the same operating system, just with different names. So soon, all these new features and this new design that has been given in ColorOS 15 will reach all the upcoming mobiles of other brands as well.
Tell me, what do you think about what Oppo has done? Because it is possible that some US users may not like iOS because it comes with many limitations or because it does not have some features that we get in Android. But it is possible that they like the aesthetics. So, I think ColorOS 15 with its focus on this aesthetic can be quite attractive for users who probably like the look of iOS 18. And now, with nice software features like split screen or floating screen, which we usually don’t get on iPhone, this will be totally positive.
But, on the other hand, there may also be some people who probably don’t want to have anything to do with iOS, because in the beginning iPhone was very expensive and they used it for fun and modern features have started coming in Android now. So why would people spend so much money to buy an iPhone, now even Android has started giving features like modern iOS in less money.
