Will Apple copy the UI & UX of Chrome for iOS into its Mobile Safari (and the Safari)?

With all the usefulness and intuitive features that Google has brought into Chrome for iOS (and desktop Chrome), such as: the tab view, stacked tab view, access points for all the features, inclusion of incognito window in the main browser itself, displaying almost all (cool) features of the Chrome desktop client, multi-device browser seamless experience, etc. It feels like Google is showing us how Apple has forgotten itself (read its core principles of design) when it made Safari (and Mobile Safari).
Answer:

Nope. Chrome on the desktop has been out for a number of years now, and desktop Safari has shown no indication that they are interested in any of Chrome's features. A part of it is that Google has a lot more people working on Chrome than Apple on Safari. They'd never keep up even just trying to reach feature parity. Another argument would be that the browsers are simply focused on different things. Safari's new features have been things like Reading List, Full screen mode, retina display support (in fact, supporting integrations with new OSs and hardware revisions would already be a lot of work), and gestures; they have their own roadmap and motivations for what features to build. And as long as both Safari and Mobile Safari are the default browsers for their respective systems, there is probably no need to copy features from other browsers.
