But Apple doesn't do it which is the more important part. I want Google Assistant as he default voice Assistant.
Again, Google HAS TO do it that way, because they don't sell their own devices.
I want to set Google apps as default. I want all Reddit links to open directly in Apollo and not the default Reddit app. No way to do that.
You can't do that on Android either!
You cannot take advantage of Microsoft's Timeline on iOS or recieve SMS messages or phone call notifications on Windows.
And I don't want my SMS and phone calls to go to a third party I don't trust.
Apple does that on iOS/macOS for a long time.
Apple needs an operating system update to update simple apps like iBooks, Safari and iMessage. The equivalents on Google need a simple app update. Chrome is updated almost every week or so.
Because they chose to be that way.
Or do you think they can't update their Apps through the AppStore?
Apple's iMovie, GaragaBand, that photos App thing, all update through the AppStore.
You clearly know nothing about Android. The beauty of Android is the variety. No 2 phones are the same. Samsung's Experience skin has features which stock Android would take years to implement. People do not care about updates on Android otherwise the Pixel would have broken sales charts by now.
That's fragmentation and it's the worst thing about Android.
I need that to get real work done. I have an iPad Pro and aside from emails and basic office stuff the file management is worst because I cannot organise my files or put custom file formats not supported by iOS in it. Android allows me to transfer proprietary custom file formats my work needs.
You CAN!
Just give me an example that you can do on Android, to allow me to prove you are wrong.
No you can't. It doesn't support proprietary file formats. On Android I can connect to my PC, open the file system in Windows. Put the files by creating folders wherever I want and I can access them on my mobile later.
Again, you are wrong, it's just BS, I'm going to prove you are wrong, as long as you give me a concrete example.
Well iPad needs Bluetooth enabled for universal clipboard to work. No one uses chrome books anyway. It's all about Windows. I give Google 10 years max before they dump chromebooks like they did Android on tablets and Microsoft did to Windows RT.
No, it just needs a network connection, can be through USB, Wifi, Bluetooth, any connection.
No it's not. You can't use apps as a substitute for system features. Google Pixel is a secure phone and does stuff iPhones cannot. I can recieve SMS messages and phone call notifications on Windows. No way to do that on iOS. You cannot use Split View on phones on iOS. There is no way to try out apps which break the App Store rules. You can only use what Apple wants you to use.
No, it's not a secure phone, with Apps on the Play Store, like every other Android phone, that steal your bank account money, it's not.
And there are ways to try out Apps which break the AppStore rules for a long time, you can upload them through Xcode, or you can use an Enterprise license for enterprise Apps.
It doesn't have a recent security mechanism, like FaceID. It has iPhone 6-era fingerprint reader, and on the worst place to put it...
But everyone knows what you are after.
The keyboard on the Plus phone doesn't even have number key above the letters and there is no way to enable it or set another keyboard as default. This should all be basic stuff by now.
It's called OPTIONS, it's not something that Apple can't do.
On iPad, there is a number key row.
Some of the countries I have visited, Apple Maps lacked basic navigation and Siri was complete crap compared to a Google Assistant yet there is no way to set the functional apps as default. Google does it that way because they recognise they are not the best at everything
We have Google Maps on iOS, then what?
In most countries, Google Assistant doesn't even exist!
I am talking about the phones, not tablets. The Plus phone is 5.5 inches. The newer iPhone to be released this year is 6.5 inches even bigger than the Note 8. It definitely needs PiP.
Also Samsung skins have supported PiP since 2013 iirc.
Yeah sure, I'm sure lots of people are using it...
The fact is that iOS has PIP, and Apple only needs to change
if iPad {
pip.enable()
}
to
if iPad || iPhone {
pip.enable()
}
Simple.
How do you know no one uses it?
Because there are practically no Instant Apps there.
Name one from a Forbes 100 company.
I do not use it for piracy. It's either a blanket ban on innovation or innovation which comes with its fair share of disadvantages.
Yeah, sure, I'm sure people don't use that for piracy.
All flagship Androids get updates for 2 years minimum and with Google increasing it to 3, this will only improve as time passes. With Project Treble being mandatory on Android P, OS updates will be even more irrelevant on Android an before.
Not true.
No Android OEM gives timely software updates, it's always with months or half years of delay. And they have been promissing "project treble" for 10 years now.
Google only gives you 2 years, that's a joke compared to Apple's 6.
Also have you checked the situation of iOS updates? We needs to reach the X.3 or X.4 update to get a functional operating system without battery drain or lag. Google also faces issues like this on Android. Samsung and he others simply wait till all bugs are ironed out which usually takes a year before updating. We do have carriers messing up the situation but I only ever buy my phones outright at full price.
That's not true, and Android software updates are always more problematic, just you don't see YouTubers suiciding their carrer to report that.
I don't know about you but I would rather wait for a year and get a fully stable version of the OS than updates which break more than they fix. I am hearing reports of iPad Pro battery drain on iOS 11.4. Makes me even happier I have stayed on outdated iOS 10 till Apple comes out with a release which is faster and more stable. I am enjoying the stutter free experience and 1 week battery life.
No.
Because the problems are even worse on Android.
There's a lot of people complaining everytime that Samsung and others update their OS's. And lots of problems.
Siri does not even recognise my voice nowadays, it's that bad. Google Assistant is bang on all the time. And it's not even my accent. Alexa and Cortana also recognise my voice flawlessly.
Then it's your voice's problem, because it recognizes mine, and English is not even my first language.
In fact, there's not even Google Assistant in my country, and there's Siri.
Have you watched the demo of Assistant's conversation with a real life human? Lol Siri is demolished by Assistant. Siri doesn't even work in all Countries outside he US.
Yes, and it's BS.
Can you do that with your phone? Of course you can't, because it was faked.
And Apple would never do that, no matter if they can or can't, it's inconsiderate for the person on the other side.
You only get malware on Android if you were doing something you shouldn't be doing or trying shady apps. I keep hearing Windows is a malware infested mess and MacOS is beacon of perfection yet ironically my Windows installation on my MacBook which is 5 years old boots faster than High Sierra does. I can actually post a recording of this. Zero malware on any of my Androids or Windows and I have dabbled with custom ROMs and visual skins on both.
No, there's malware on the PlayStore, and phones that come with malware pre-installed.
Imagine if this happened with iOS...
Do you see your beloved YouTubers reporting about this?
No!
Not a single one!
Because they are all paid by Samsung.
In my opinion if you are playing with fire, you deserve to get burnt.
Are you feeling the heat?
