After getting an iPhone and exploring some of their API documentation after being really impressed with system provided features, I'm blown away by the stuff that's available. My app experience on iOS vs Android is night and day. The vision features alone have been insane, but their text recognition is just fantastic. Any image and even my god awful handwriting gets picked up without issue.
That said, I do love me a free and open source option for this kind of thing. I can't use it much since I'm not using Apple products for my desktop computing. Good on Apple though - they're providing some serious software value.
I can't comment on what Apple is doing here, but Google has an equivalent called "lens" which works really well and I use it in the way you suggest here.
