Google Lens is now available on the iPhone

article published on 17 March, 2018

Google's one of the more known ad campaigns, for Pixel phones, has reminded people of how limited iPhone's storage is. Google Photos offers unlimited storage which Apple doesn't and that's why, the search giant claims, you'll often run out of storage space just when you're about to snap an important picture.

Waste! Google like Microsoft using scare tactics once again.

If the given storage from Apple isn't enough for the vast majority of cellular users then tough! It's been enough since the Iphone inception and i have yet to hear of ANYONE bitching about their 64/128/256GB of storage not being enough to hold all their pictures and therefore requiring them to delete pics to make room for more. Last I heard this nonsense was like 8 years ago and only with those that had 16GB or maybe 32GB.

Uh......can you say "USB cable to computer and copy/paste to offload?"

I so hate MS.

The sheep has spoken. The fact that they tell you what you can and can't do with something you purchased is crazy. Also, its 2018, why in the world do you need to connect your phone to a cable to move information. Is Apple really that limited. Google also stole a lot of this tech from Office Lens which Microsoft released years ago.

Apple sucks but has one hell of a marketing department.

This software is an obvious iteration of Google's AR tech, such as "Google Goggles", released in 2009. If anything, M$ copied them.
