These are all things 1k phones should have and this is just off the top of my head
I have the iPhone xs max so yes I do know what they are about.
The home screen has looked the same since the start of the iPhone.
Am I saying iphones are bad? No they are great phones but they are basic where you can't do anything great on it. On. The note and S series the things you can do on it is endless.
So no way in hell should they cost what they do
You’re saying that they can’t do anything great on the iPhone. Is adjusting the screen quality or having on screen widgets really that much of a defining detail of doing something great vs being basic?
How about how the iOS system does do things android doesn’t do well:
Messaging integration, I can get messages on my phone, then sit down on my computer keep messaging, then go for a run and answer texts from my watch. That alone is worth an extra 100 to me.
FaceTime- built into the software and I think you can conference with like 30 people? Pretty useful.
Measuring app- built into the software this is something I use regularly at work and it’s pretty accurate
Built in qr code scanner
Security - this is pretty unquestionable at this point
Activity reports for managed accounts- have kids? Want to make sure they aren’t spending too much time on the phone
3D Touch - actually really useful
Offload- you can delete apps without having to delete app data
Software updates - pixel is pretty much the only android phone I’ve used that does regular updates when new software comes out. We will see how Samsung is with the Galaxy S10+ but security updates used to be pretty sorely lacking.
Just saying there are other useful features that both platforms should pick up on, it doesn’t make one better than the other or one cheaper and not worth as much as the other. Both are great platforms. Definitely need to stop all the platform bashing in here. It’s definitely not something that goes on as frequently in the other forum, and if it does happen it’s usually shut down immediately.
