Nowadays, even ardent Apple fans sometimes wonder whetheri just some Android was not worth trying. It is true that are currently some of the competing mobiles are really tempting, either because of the smaller cut-out from the display, the presence of a 3,5mm jack or a better connection with the Windows system, if with this OS you have to work. Despite but there are features in the iOS operating system on iPhones that Android will never seem to offer.
iMessage
One of the things that Android users can dream about forever is sending messages via iMessage. Users on all modern iOS devices they can send to each other texts and media using WiFi or internet data, saving on mobile operator SMS charges. Videos and photos mohou send without compression, and when the file is too large, the recipient will receive a download link from iCloud. A cherry on top cake then there are animations, the option to react to Facebook Messenger or the option to send money via Apple Pay.
iMessage was launched over 8 years ago, Android phone manufacturers so they had enough time to at least approach her. No. OFa all ta For years, Google has experimented with various alternatives, yet none of them have been successful enough for the peopleé started one of them defend as a strong argument why switching from iPhone to Android is not so painful.
Why? Because there was no marketing communication and it was a separate application, not a function built directly into the Messages application. Therefore, users had to burden themselves with installing and then using another Messenger because of those two friends who did not want to use Facebook. Later, all three switched to WhatsApp and it was quiet. It is therefore not surprising that even Samsung has decided to pre-install WhatsApp on its phones. By the way, remember Google Allo? That's okay, neither do we.
FaceTime
The same can be said for FaceTime. An elegant solution directly built-in v iPhones, iPads and Macs allows you to organize video calls and, now, video conference calls for up to 32 people. Abyes to start using FaceTime, all you need is the Apple ID you used to log in to the device when you first set it up and your phone number. In short, a completely intuitive solution.
On Android, Google first tried it with the Hangouts application, then in 2016 it announced that devices must have the Google Duo service preinstalled instead of Hangouts. After turning it on for the first time, you must agree to the terms and conditions, enable the required permissions, link the service to your phone number using a verification SMS and I couldn't get any further. I turned off the service and uninstalled it. Fortunately, with this application it was possible.
bloatware
Which also brings us to the next point. It took Apple many years before it opened up iOS and allowed users to delete those system apps they don't want to use. Like Akcie or iBooks if you prefer paper books to digital ones. However, Android does not allow this, and so on your new Galaxy S10+ you will find Email, Gmail, Samsung Internet, Google Chrome, Galaxy Wearable, Wear OS, Galaxy Store, Google Play, Microsoft Office suite, Google Docs suite, OneDrive, Google Drive, Samsung Gallery, Google Photos , Google Duo, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Music, Spotify…
Yes, some of the apps are really handy for the user and allow them to do things efficiently across devices. Others are here just because se advertising partner or operator has decided that you definitely want to play the first version of Angry Birds from 2020 in 2009. Not to mention that according to many security experts, the bloatware that is installed on your phone contains bugs and security flaws that can leave your device exposed to threats. The sad thing is that it is not always possible to remove these useless things, you can only disable and hide some things, but they still remain in the device's memory. Why does my phone have to be connected to three cloud services when I upload everything anywayi on OneDrive?
Cloud, data backup and recovery
Although it is according to me audacity that iCloud only offers users 5 GB of space for free, I also have to admit that the way the iPhone is connected to this service is second to none. Really. Every time I put my iPhone to charge, the phone starts backing up data even if I don't want to so something really happened bad, I don't have to worry about losing my data. I can download them to a new device, or when I restore my existing phone, I can simply re-download them to it. Speech je especially about photos and videos. When my iPhone 5c finally died, I lost practically nothing, except for the memories of the times when this phone served me reliably. Actually yes, there was Flappy Bird installed.
updates
Updates are a thing ve which Android will never, ever really It doesn't match the iPhone. And no matter how many Android One initiatives Google organizes, not all manufacturers will they give in even those who join the initiative perceive it more experimentally. As a result, of all the phones that the given manufacturer releases during the year, maybe 3 or 4 are supporting the initiative. And so, the Google Pixel continues to be really the only kind of Android phone that receives various updates on time. With others, you have to wait 3-4 months, after which maybe you will also receive updates in your region and from your operator. Because... actually, as a regular user, he doesn't even knowm.. And why, when a competing operator releases an update for my Samsung, is my operator quiet. Even after many years, Android still presents itself as it isaher to make updates.
On the other hand si Apple controls everything by itself and when it releases an update, with rare exceptions ji will release to all supported devices on the same day, at the same time, and with the same offering of news, fixes, and improvements. No matter what operator you have. It also pleases, that iOS 13 is compatible with the really old iPhone 6s released four years agomand half a year ago. And not only that, the latest speculation is that iOS 14, which awaits us at the end of the year, will be compatible with these old iPhones. The latest system on a five-year-old device? I will be happy if my Galaxy S10+ lives up to something like this.
FaceTime, iMessage. I don't understand why these two functions are already such, a bit over-the-top, the song of the users of the Apple ecosystem as such an advantage over the competition. I don't know anyone who normally uses text messages when there are so many better ways of communication, viz. Whatsapp, Telegram, Messenger and countless others used by both Apple and Android users. Long years ago, this might have been an advantage. Today I doubt it. The same goes for video calls. I understand that "Applisti l" are used to it and it is so convenient for them, but I wouldn't consider it an advantage as such.
As for the bloatware... I understand that Apple users have a bit of a tendency to see half blindly and judge anyway, but really? Sure, there are tons of Android phones in the world that have bloatware, but there are plenty more that simply don't - you can choose.
The same goes for updates. When you buy a phone for eight thousand, you can't expect much, if above twenty thousand you would probably expect support. But I admit that even that is questionable, because a Samsung like this is incredibly slow for larger updates, on the other hand, there are phones with Android where you get updates like clockwork. Again, you have a choice.
You are generalizing too much. :)
Anyway, have a nice day.
better way of communication ??? and what? whatsapp or viber? that's my app for selfies that you don't have credit for :D it's definitely never allowed on my phone and imessage is great, most of the people I communicate with have ios and it's the most convenient way to send anything and for free without the need for mms etc... this what you are talking about is bullshit
Dear Mr. Blahout, get yourself investigated. You've probably needed it for quite some time. You are exactly the proof of who Apple and their famous IoS are making money from. I also know a lot of people who have an iPhone, and yet most of them use the applications for communication that you reject because they are simply the most widespread and they don't have to worry about whether the recipient has the iPhone that you praise.
