Exchanges arguments between iOS and Android fans are common – and not always end well. Each user can easily find dozens of arguments to “prove” that his preference is the better, despite the fact that both systems have their pros and cons.
Apple, creator of iOS, is already quite known for its unique features and exclusive equipment that puts up for sale. But against facts there are no arguments in the last year, the brand apple had to yield and integrated in their systems some features that Android users had no very <. /> p>
The Business Insider went in search of these features. found 11 . Now see:
The new version of iOS 9, announced on 8 June at WWDC conference, will be released in the fall. Among the main innovations are the options multitasking (multi-task) for iPad. That is, the user can choose to view two applications side by side and work on both simultaneously.
The brand called this the Split View . But both LG and Samsung already had the same features in their Android devices, although with different names:. QSlide and Multi-Window , respectively
The “Siri” has been improved: the new version of the voice assistant will come included in iOS 9 and the leaders of Apple promises “more proactive”. In other words, it is expected that the experience with the “Siri” will become better and better as the assistant in will “know” better too.
But this is not new. Although they are different concepts, the “Google Now” existing on Android, does this for at least three versions ago. The new “Siri”, such as “Google Now”, you can communicate with other applications on the device and detect certain user habits, using this information to improve the suggestions it offers.
For those who have devices Android, lose yourself walking in a city was never big problem. And from the fall, it will not be problem for Apple fans.
Google Maps are great for directions and find information on public transport and other services. With iOS 9, maps of Apple will be improved and will now also include this type of functionality. As already exists in Google Maps, Apple Maps can tell you how to get to a particular destination using the underground networks, trains, buses and other means of transport.
Another “new” iOS feature 9-called Picture in Picture . It allows users to perform tasks on the device at the same time they see a video or talk to another person via FaceTime. When you enable this option, the window minimizes to a small perfectly adjustable square, without video or audio to be interrupted.
Again, this feature is not new. Technology QSlide LG allows this since 2013 with any application. – Which includes the video and video calls, of course
This point is related to the so-called “proactive” that devices equipped with iOS 9 will now feature. The new generation of Apple devices will make application suggestions based on user habits. And the Business Insider gives an example:. Is usually listen to music when you go to work, the iPhone will automatically open the Apple Music so you plug your headset in the morning
Some HTC devices (One M9) and Samsung – equipped with Android – also do this: indicate relevant applications based on user habits and even in the daytime hours. And as the Android system allows you to install launchers developed by third parties, some, such as the Aviate, offer similar features.
The next version of Apple application store Pay payments will allow discount cards and vouchers, together with the already usual credit cards. For users of the corresponding Google service – Wallet – this feature has been available for some time
Only at the end of last year is that Apple decided to include in their mobile NFC.. This feature allows us to, for example, make payments bringing the iPhone to certain terminals.
But in 2012, although this type of payment was not yet common, smartphone as Samsung Galaxy S3 already had this technology. In addition to shopping, NFC technology allows, with the aid of a tag , perform tasks or set of tasks automatically on your phone. This system tags is already supported on most models of Android phones.
The Android operating system has adopted the concept of widgets in the first few versions ( Eclair 2.0, released in 2009). Are small interactive applications that update automatically presenting relevant information to the user. For example, a widget meteorological updates itself throughout the day with accurate information of the weather, based on user location.
The brand apple surrendered the concept last fall and added widgets to iOS 8 – but slightly differently. The widgets in Android are adjustable and add to the initial system screens. In iOS, the widgets appear in the Notifications panel.
With the eighth version of the operating system from Apple, it became possible to “invoke” a “Siri” assistant without even touching the phone. Just for this, say out loud “Hey Siri”, instead of pressing the phone’s initial button. In 2013, Motorola (Moto X) had a similar functionality but for the Android wizard, “Google Now. Google’s assistant already own permits, and you can program it to react to the phrase” Okay Google “.
As in the case of widgets , the only Apple devices now support the installation of new keyboards last year -. as the Swipe or Swift Key However, at that time , Android users have long were familiar with the concept
In 2012, with the arrival of Android Jelly Bean -. 4.1 version of the operating system of Google – it is now possible to interact with certain notices such as for example, reply to messages without even opening the application. Some alerts allow even perform tasks within the app , how to share certain content or save for later. Apple decided to include this feature in iOS 8, launched last year.
The adaptation to the demands of consumers is increasingly essential. (Getty Images)
The tug of war between the technology giants – in this case between Google and Apple – have become increasingly intense over time. So it is not surprising that both find themselves obliged to “copy” the best of each other .
The Business Insider also said that this is not necessarily evil . “It shows that Apple is willing to adapt to customer requirements,” the site .
