iPhone vs Android! Isn’t it an unending argument? While the users of the iPhone have long been advocating the benefits of owning an iPhone, the Android users have never backed down. Each of the mobile operating systems has its strengths and weaknesses. This is not about proving which one has the upper hand. It’s rather about pointing out some unique features that iOS offers to its users that an Android phone doesn’t. Although Android has been touted for its flexibility, iOS has some cool features up its sleeve. Let’s have a look.
The 3D Touch
While most smart devices generally have 2 kinds of ways to interact with an app. You either press something and use it or you long press and get some options. But the iPhone has a cool feature. It has a hard press. When you put pressure on the screen and press a little hard on anything, new kinds of options are displayed. This is something that Android doesn’t provide. This feature lets the options be displayed in a more organized way rather than being cluttered.
Better Emojis
The meme culture is the hip thing right now. Emojis is the universal language too. You don’t need to know a language to express your emotions when you have emojis. iPhone takes it a step further. But with the latest iPhone models that have iOS 13.5 and further, you can send Memojis or Animojis, which are expressive characters modelled after your own image. It’s an impressive feature and still not available in most Android devices.
iMessage
The iMessage is a closed community of Apple users who can talk to each other over the internet or a closed network and share high-quality videos and photos. The app is touted to be extremely secure. Android may have a lot of chat apps but none of them matches up to iMessage in terms of features as well as security.
Timely Updates
Android users face issues with updates. While some phone models don’t get timely updates, some have stopped getting support from the manufacturers. This is an area where apple stands out. Not only does Apple give timely updates to all devices, but it also maintains good support for old devices as well. Recently the iOS 13.6 was rolled out which was compatible with older devices as well and it introduced some cool features.
Easy connections
iPhone devices are easy to pair with other wireless gadgets. You can even pair many devices simultaneously with your iPhone and your Mac such as the AirPods. These Apple gadgets also come with cool features and don’t require a user to pair the device again and again like the Android devices. This is something other Android manufacturers have tries but the seamless experience in iPhone stand out.
Conclusion
While many would say that many of these can be done by Android by using apps, it is simple to understand that getting features through apps is not the same. iPhone offers some really unique native features that are still not found in the Android devices.
