We love both mobile operating systems and their corresponding devices, but just like Android has its many advantages so does iOS. Here are our favorite parts of iOS that outdo their Android counterparts.
Google Reportedly Set to Launch Tool Revealing Battery Degradation Over Time for Phones and Tablets, Says Android Authority.
Introduced in iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1, NameDrop is a novel feature that facilitates the sharing of contact information between nearby iPhones and Apple Watches by holding them together.
WhatsApp Boosts Android Security and User Experience with Passwordless Login, Eliminating Two-Factor SMS. Here's How to Activate It.
10 app store on android can connect over wifi and who buys things almost everything on android can be done for free or gotten for free.
9 o.o must be an apple thing
8 you can do similar on android
7 apple support is some of the best cant argue there
6 i get variable rates out of my android depending on location. now i get about 17 hours out of my battery
5 itunes is utter garbage and there are apps and programs that can do what it does.
4 just makes false sense of security and makes everyone think that every app is made by an angel.
3 android apps are cooler
2 android is quite easy to figure out to use inefficiently to find the hidden gems and all the goodies (which apple doesnt offer on iphones) it takes time and testing, i actually used the first iphone when it just came out and i hated it, wasnt appealing at all when i looked for the deep settings.
1 eh you got android with this one, but hey there is always nightly builds for rooted users?
LOL at this crap article..
He's saying bullshit and then write "on a personal note i don't really like that blabla but obviously it's better".. LOL
Interesting that some of the 'bad' (IMHO) points of iOS are touted as strengths in this article. Lack of true multitasking, the fact that 5 year olds can use it (meaning it becomes boring and restrictive to adults), sameness of the experience (i had and iphone silverback, 3, and used 4 and the user experience is the same - boring for me). Lack of crapware? How else would you describe the unremovable - and unhidable - youtube?
I have tried them all, and so far I like Windows Phone 7 best, but sadly for Microsoft, they are not seen as 'cool'.
hmmm, funny article this.
guess he doesnt send files over bluetooth. oh wait, you cant with an iphone <unless u get a third party app> but seriously, a feature like that left out.
guess he also failed to mention that he cant load an mp3 as a ringtone. guess he loves apples standard tunes too much. beats beats beats!!
android can do much much more than iOS. its an open platform. sure, with the head start that apple has they obviously gonna be ahead, but its only a matter of time before android surpasses them.
one things which bugs me every time is Flash on iphone
Flash is still a big part of the internet. Apple has what, a 3 year head start? They damn well better be better at this point. iTunes has a 100 mile headstart. It's bloated software and runs slower than any other software I use - or should I say use as seldom as possible for my 1 remaining iPod. Having 3 handsets to support makes Apple's life very simple, and that is to their benefit, as the development times are far shorter.
All that together and Android is catching up big time. Apple is scared to death of how quickly Android is being developed, and thank the good lord, as Apple needs real competition. Now I cannot wait to get my hands on a Windows 7 phone, as they look cool as hell and the more integrated they are to Office, the more valuable that they become.
