Profiles on Nokia (Feature phone, S60, S^3) worked more or less the same way. You could make different profiles for different things and choose what notifications you would get. You could even set timed profiles to activate/deactivate profiles automatically, like Apple.
Surely, Apple's implementation is more powerful now, but I am comparing with something ~15 years ago.
