  • When Apple creates an app or a feature that has functionality found in a third-party app, it is referred to as sherlocking. The name dates back to a “Sherlock” search tool in OS X that Apple enhanced with features that were cribbed from a third-party app called Watson. Watson’s developers accused Apple of copying the product without compensation, and from then on, sherlocking has been used to describe apps that are supplanted by Apple.
