I wouldn't attribute credit specifically to Apple for this. Any other modern phone could have done this. The credit really goes to the hardware capabilities in most of these new phones and to the authors of the software to have mashed up all these capabilities in an attempt to make a truly useful tool with a very intuitive and fluid natural interface for real-life, real-time translations.
