Yeah, except, THAT'S NOT THE POINT!
I'm saying that a lot of people say that Apple copies but if Google does it's "magical" and "really cool and new"[
Where has anyone asserted this?
What i can do is find you dozens of examples of Apple fanboys doing this in response to things such as notification centre etc..
Both sides are guilty of this but you are acting as if it is only Google fans, I would argue that Apple is more guilty because:
1. They were the ones who started throwing accusations around
2. They were the ones who started suing everyone
3. For the last 2-3 years, Apple has been doing the vast majority of the feature catchup (AKA copying)
4. For a lot of the stuff which Google did copy from Apple early on, they have re-engineered new implementations (eg elastic banding on scroll)
Yes, Google introduced a couple of long overdue features which have been in iOS for ages (screen casting etc), but in other instances where they have entered markets Apple is in (Android TV vs Apple TV), they have extended functionality significantly.
Almost all of the major stuff (in car, wearables, most Android 5 features), Apple has either only just made an announcement (and thus they would have been in both Apple and Google product pipelines for a long time) or Apple is only rumored to be doing them.
Despite the massive amount of products and features announced, you chose to focus on a few relatively minor features (which Google did take from Apple) and generalise that to be "Google copies and are hypocrites" and then act surprised by our reaction.
When Apple has been accused of copying (particularly iOS 6 and 7), the features taken from Google were extensive and were
central to their presentation.
