In WWDC this year, there was no significant hardware announcement, which was ironic for some. However, it was the software that ruled the whole conference. We saw OSX Yosemite inspired by iOS 7 like touch, and the new programming language Swift.
The iOS 8 also was introduced in that event. Looking at it, one can definitely say that it's somewhat inspired from Android in terms of functionality. It's good for iSheeps, not Android users since they're using that core features since or even before the release of 2.3 Gingerbread. That indirectly states the fact that Apple is really worried about people asking features from them which they can't offer due to traditional restrictions since the release of the 1st Gen iPhone. However, it's a good effort from Apple, I'd say.
Though it's some of the features like self destructing message and iCloud syncing, answering call from Mac itself and new keyboard are good, but they're still in Android since earlier versions of the release ( if this features aren't stock in Android, applications from Play Store are available at any point ). While iOS 8 is focused on health too, that are many more awesome application available on iTunes for it. One of the best part of iOS 8 is family sharing. This feature is not present in Android. But integration of third party keyboards is good thing, but still it is present in Android since earlier versions. Apple designers now are teasing their mind with the question " What to do new with iOS. now ? " . So they're indirectly focusing on advancing current facts, rather introducing new facts in iOS, which they can't afford rationally due to their traditions. iCloud drive can directly be compared with Google Drive, and Google+ auto backup easily makes available all the photos that you take to multiple Android devices that are connected with same Google account. iOS 8 now supports Air Drop between Mac and iOS, which is cool but nothing quite exciting, as this was supposed to be introduced during iOS 7.
Apple designers weren't hypothetical during designing anyway. Quick suggestion keyboard is nothing new. But overall it's an good effort from Apple who's trying best to keep it's Operating Systems' advanced and in competition with what present market demands.
