IPhone and Android from the point of view of psychology. Security Service

Let's immediately arrange, dude: no one can say with confidence that the iPhone is really cooler than Android - and on the contrary: no one can reasonably convince you that Android is cool, and the iPhone is a waste of money. When it comes to smartphones, it is necessary to understand that any criteria are relative thing, everything depends on your needs, expectations and budget. Therefore, do not think that we are trying to persuade you to buy your phone on Android. We simply decided to focus on the advantages that smartphones have from this OS: who knows, maybe you're talking about to spend the dear masterpiece from Apple and you decide that Android is a rational alternative.

12. Standard Micro-USB cable

We have nothing against Apple. We have editors, of course, there are owners of iPhones, iPods and MacBooks - where without them. But these very iPhones have one trouble (except prices, of course) - the fact that Apple's Apple cables are used. Apple refuse to use conventional connectors micro USB. And thereby complicate our life, and in addition to this, our wallet devastates. Imagine: You will have to have a special charger, a cable for connecting to a computer and something else - and things from Apple is expensive. And one more thing: the company pays designers and engineers to develop all this business, and the cost of their work is included in the price of your iPhone. Not really, right?

But if you have a phone on Android, you can connect it to a computer one of the 15 Micro USB cables that are already lying at your home. And if you suddenly lost the charger or the same cable, there is nothing easier than to reach the nearest store and buy the necessary thing for a maximum of a couple of hundred rubles. And this is a serious advantage, agree?

11. Old good stylus

Founder Apple Steve Jobs said: "If you see the stylus - throw it." And it can be understood: if the engineer team is not capable of creating an interface that does not require additional tools, it can really be regarded as a failure.

Of course, this can be regarded differently. Apple's chip is an interface that is intuitive. And what method of entering information is clear than handwritten? Until now, there are plenty of people in the world who believe that writing something from the hand much faster than to dial on the keyboard. Over time, they may change their mind, but right now why not give these guys what they want?

Smartphones like Samsung Galaxy Note II go with the stylus, and Android is well supported by such an interface. But the iPhone is not.

10. Vibration when pressing

Do you like when the phone responds to every touch of vibration? Yes, for me. This is not the big deal, but for some such vibration is an important thing - especially for those who only recently began to use the virtual keyboard and want to be sure that he really clicked on something. And if you do not like this feature - turn it off, and the case with the end.

But on the iPhone you do not have this choice. He does not vibrate when you click on it.

9. Simple information sharing

8. Ability to configure the desktop

Do you always wanted to keep any specific widgets at hand? On Android, you can configure everything at your discretion. You can combine icons as you think about, and nothing will be for it.

IPhone? Sorry, dude. Only standard icons. What? Don't you want all of them displayed on the workpieces? Do you want to arrange them in a different way? Ha ha ha! Well, yes, you can quiet them in folders, but the folders will remain on the desktop. Get used to.

7. Ability to choose a keyboard

You may need time to get used to the virtual keyboard. There is an option that the version pre-installed on your phone does not quite arrange you. That would be cool if other keyboards were extended with another placement of letters, another smart way input - yes?

If you have a phone on Android, you can try to install another keyboard. And if you do not like it - one more. And if it does not go at all - well, buy a phone with a regular clay.

If you have an iPhone, then you will have to get used to what is. Of course, that's good keyboardBut if you want to experiment, then this will have to refuse.

6. You can attach to the letter any file

This iPhone bug is so crazy that he could be in the first place in all of our list.

And the thing is also the fact that the client for Gmail is also a holey, as for applications. So if you have mail on Gmail, sympathize, dude. But if you have a machine on Android, then the client for Gmail continues to be a shit, but the standard interface can attach any garbage to the letter. Well, at least so.

5. Middle Communication

In the promotional video of Samsung Galaxy S3, you probably saw the moment when the dudes make their phones to each other and exchange files, right? And all because Android supports the Middle Communication Technology (Near Field Communication). Its development is not completely complete, so applications have a limited set of functions. So far, you can cross each other pictures and music - but it is not very interesting. But in the near future, with this system, it will be possible to pay money from electronic wallet - Is it not wonderful?

And what is the iPhone? And he has not yet supports this technology. Perhaps they simply decided to wait until she turns into something really worth. But still, in this regard, we risk falling back from progress if you buy an iPhone.

4. Additional memory

Do you miss the built-in in your iPhone 64 GB of memory? Yes, do not worry. Just insert a flash drive into the Micro SD connector, and ... oh, wait, the iPhone does not support additional memory cards. So be content with what is. But there is no such problem on Android. Hooray!

3. Replaceable battery

Not all Android phones are doing well charge - remember the same Samsung Galaxy S3. But they have at least a replacement battery, and if she completely fails, it can be replaced with another. Or you can buy additional batteries, charge them and carry in your opinion - for example, if you are on the road. But if the battery is extended to the iPhone, they don't care here.

2. The screen is more ... or smaller

Apple so tried to make the screen on the iPhone 5 more - but he came out not so much more, how much long. Thanks to this, the desktop fits more icons on the desktop, but at viewing the media files it is practically not reflected in any way.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3? Here he is truth in a big screen. And the same with HTC One., Sony Xperia., Motorola Droid RAZR and LG Optimus - they have more screens than on iPhone 5.

And what if you do not want a gigantic screen? Well, okay. Full phones on Android with a smaller screen.

1. Simple interface on PC

When you connect your smartphone on Android to a computer, you can dig in its contents, as in the usual folder on the hard disk. If you want to throw out or remove music, photos, videos or documents, you just have enough for the icon, pull - and the thing is in the hat. And even on the iMac, you can do the same if you download the Android application (as we have in the photo).

And what about the iPhone? Well, good luck to you, dude. You can add media files (pictures, videos, music) through iTunes - and it seems to be simple. Simply, yes, not quite, because the creators have pleased to make iTunes unreasonably difficult.

And if you want to throw other files in your iPhone? Sorry, buddy. You will have to feel myself an idiot: nothing will come out.

10 most productive smartphones according to Benchmarck Antutu

Top models iPhone. Excellent flagships on Android both at the speed of completion of complex tasks and in synthetic tests. For example, with the latest chip A11 Bionic recodulates 2-minute 4K-videos in Adobe Clips for 42 seconds, from Google requires almost 3 minutes, and Samsung Galaxy S8 is over 4 minutes. In the most popular applications for GEEKBENCH and Antutu performance testing, the first places with a large margin also occupy new iPhone.

2. iPhone possess the best cameras

Alone the best cameras Samsung has SAMSUNG among Android smartphones Galaxy Note. 8 and Google Pixel 2/2 XL. The first copes perfectly with the subject shooting, and the other two are able to surprise nightfoots and photos in HDR mode. However, in the test, which also includes simple scenes with natural light and portrait mode, iPhone 8 Plus still wins. In most cases, it will allow you to get much better and pleasant to the eye pictures.

3. Best software and hardware integration

Each technical innovation in the iPhone is integrated with a multitude of iOS software functions. This provides additional features and simply provides new sensations from the use of the device.

In an example, you can bring the technology with which a stronger click on the icon allows you to open a small menu and immediately go to certain application functions. Another example is a unique portrait mode with studio light on the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It is provided additional camera and branded photo processing algorithms.

Also, it is also impossible not to note the technology of user recognition on the face. It works at the TrueDepth sensor set and artificial Intelligence. It is the latter that allows you to recognize the owner even in the headdress or with a beard. All these features are laid at the level of the system itself, while Android devices are limited to their own shell. To make such functions become available to all, Google itself should take care of them.

4. iPhone remains the easiest to use smartphone

Despite all the promises of Android-smartphones manufacturers, optimize their own and make them more easy, iOS on the iPhone remains the easiest and intuitive system. It is possible to reproach it for the lack of external changes, but for many design preservation, on the contrary, is a plus. Apple from year to year improves iOS, while maintaining its simplicity and recognizable appearance. Changes your iPhone 6 on the iPhone 8, you will not have to re-study the interface and search for familiar features. In addition, there is a convenient transfer function of all necessary data.

5. Operational and large-scale iPhone updates

Fresh iOS 11 distribution schedule, according to MixPanel

The undisputed advantage of the iPhone is the updates of the system that are coming almost the same day to all compatible models. For example, according to the MixPanel analytical company, the iOS 11 is already installed by more than 70% of all iPhone. Latest statistics for distribution android versions No comparison is coming. Fresh OREO is currently installed only by 0.5% of devices, and last year's Android 7 Nougat has not even crossed the mark of 25%.

6. The best applications first appear on iOS

Pocket-Lint.com.

Many games and applications to this day initially go to iOS, and already after some time appear in Google Play.. The example can also be brought and, and Snapchat. Even Instagram on Android became available only two years after the debut in App Store.. Developers are much more profitable to create applications for iOS, as, according to statistics, only in the United States, the average user has spent 47 dollars on the App Store applications for the application. For Android and Google Play, this indicator is 30 dollars.

7. The absence of pre-installed "garbage"

Having full control over software iPhone, Apple completely eliminates the possibility of the appearance of pre-installed applications from third-party developers. This applies to both the operator services and the partner software that can be found on many Android smartphones. It can be translators, additional browsers, unknown file managers, office utilities or games. Often unnecessary applications You can not even remove from memory.

8. Additional features when working with Mac

DigitalTrends.com.

FROM new feature "Continuity" Notifications about calls and messages on the iPhone can be taken directly through MacBook. You can also start writing email Or edit the document on the iPhone, and continue on Mac. Even universal, which allows you to copy the text on the smartphone and paste it into the document on the device with MacOS.

9. Best service and support

When there are any problems with an Android smartphone, you can try to find a solution on numerous online forums or come to the store, where the smartphone was purchased. The seller, depending on the problem, can send to service center. There, the device is usually delayed not for one week until the queue happens until it.

In the case of the iPhone, you have an extensive database of useful reference articles on the Apple website, as well as the opportunity to get a direct consultation in the chat with an employee service service. If the problem is not solved remotely, you can go to an authorized service center.

In which he presented his vision of gestures in Android, at the same time calling the current gestures to reside. After reading this material with complete confidence, I can agree with his opinion, although before that he considered gestures quite normal.

To begin with, explain the ideology of gestures. Gestures allow you not to simply combine 3 navigation buttons in one, they help change the user interaction with the system. IN currently In Android, there are 3 buttons, each of which performs its task.

Task gestures - remove the interlayer in the form of buttons. In other words, to go to the desktop, the user uses a button that performs the necessary action. The task of the gesture to make the user without the help of the button independently performed the action. Thus, we get rid of an unnecessary layer in the form of standard navigation buttons. Why the user click on the "Home" button to call the closing animation of the application when the user itself can become an animation initiator using a specific gesture.

From the point of view of psychology, gestures are clearer and more logical buttons. Shifting the window with a gesture, relying on the physics of objects, the human brain expects such behavior of the elements on the screen. In the case of the buttons, the non-clear person will be incomprehensible to the functions included in them. Using gestures, the user directly interacts with the elements on the screen, it allows you to immerse it in the system, give a feeling of freedom of action, the user will better understand the layers of the system and its device.

In Android P gesture Up opens the menu of the latest running applications with search. In this case, the repeated swipe up calls the menu of all applications. Noah believes that Google in this way will further want to abandon the desktop, and the menu recent applications Must be the main window of the system. I agree with such a position, and in my opinion, such a decision will be the most correct, since the menu of the latest applications allows you to recover with gestures to make the process of using the device as convenient and fast.

Android problem

In the case of gestures in Android p Noah notes their confusion. Initially, it is not clear, before us the buttons or control of gestures. Gestles in Android P can not be called full. We have a lower navigation bar, and in the same time gestures are used. What are gestures, when the bottom useful display area is still used by the navigation buttons? This is the absence of organicity.

Why do I need a "Back" button? After all, it was possible to come up with a gesture that would save the system from an extra and unnecessary button? I do not need the "Home" button. The system does not need buttons at all - gestures do not imply the use of buttons.

As an example, Semus leads gestures in the iPhone X, while not counting them perfect, but believing that they are better than those available in Android P. What is the significant difference between IOS and Android gestures? In Android, swipe Up opens the menu of the latest running applications, and this is normal, but the problem is in the animation. In Android, the animation occurs linearly without any freedom. In the case of the iPhone, the swipe Up squeezes the application window into a small icon, which is placed on its place on the desktop. From the point of view of psychology, this implementation is more logical, it creates a feeling that the user with his gesture controls the entire process of hiding the application.

Fix android gestures

Noah considers the implementation of the swipe up with the call menu of the last running applications good, so it does not propose to change this gesture. In the article, the main focus is made on the "Home" and "back" buttons.

This will make rid of the "Home" button. Thus, we set the position menu of the last running applications in the system - it will be located on the left of the desktop, and the "up and left" gesture will be logical in this case. If the user scrolls the last menu menu for a long time and turns out to be in an extreme left point, it will be possible to quickly swipe left, which instantly takes the user to the desktop.

The main task of the gesture "up and left" to create a sense that the user itself manages the process of transition to the desktop, and does not use the buttons that perform this action for it. We wrote about this at the beginning of the article.

I did not like Noah and Slider Scroll Menu latest running applications. The slider came to replace the double click on the "Home" button, which allowed to switch between the last two running applications.

Now a little about the "Back" button. What is the essence of the "up" gesture? Noah decided to make this gesture to the system. That is, "Up and Left" gestures and up and right tolerate the user to system windows. Thus, the action "Back" he decided to set the "right" gesture on the navigation band.

This action is logical, as we switch between the internal windows of the application, and there is no need to go to the system menu, that is, the "Up" gesture (and earlier we defined its purpose) will be illogical and wrong, since we are in the application window, and not in the system.

RESULTS

In my opinion, such a vision of gestures in Android P is extremely convenient. I hope no one will take to work in Google. What do you think? Observe in Telegram chat or lower in the comments.

People began to see worse. According to the study of the famous British Okulist David Allamby, the number of shorters increased by 35% compared with 1997, when the smartphones were not and in risen, and cell phones Only started to go into use. If the progression continues, by 2035, more than half of people around the world (55%) will have weak vision.

Thanks to Allambey and his experiments even a special term appeared - on-screen myopia.

Is the vision really spoil?

Results these Research of British scientists can be believed - confirm the experts of the Russian RAMS Institute. The report says that reading from a small screen and even in an uncomfortable posture and with a sits of vision at times faster than, say, reading a paper book at home in bed.

"Under the blow" mainly are those users who, with the help of gadgets, cast trips to the subway, trains, route taxis. Vibration, change of illuminated and dark sections of the tunnel, shaking cars - all this prevents the look and makes it less often blinking. In addition to impairment, the use of devices in transport can cause headaches and even nausea.

Smartphones are also harmful as computers?

No, smartphones and 7-inch tablets are violated much more harm than computers. Of course, the reason is the screen diagonal. To see what It is written in the tiny, you have to bring the device too close to the eyes, and this negatively affects the concentration of vision and contributes to the destruction makula -plot of the eye, which allows a person to distinguish small details.

Do all the phones are equally harmful?

The famous ophthalmologist Andrew Hepford warns that violet and blue shades are applied the greatest damage. From this point of view, "fear" is primarily the displays, which are known for the uneven brightness of colors and the predominance of purple.

AMOLED displays have long been installed on the devices of the company, and their acidity (Excessively intense, untrue brightness) was the parable of "in the towns". It is clear that this characteristic also affects the eyes not in the best way.

How to use the gadget so as not to plant eyesight?

There are many recommendations on this matter, however the main thing is why you need to follow is the distance from the smartphone to the eye. Curious experiment organized by American " Magazine of optometry and science of vision» (« Journal of Optometry and Vision Science") Showed that out of 129 participants in experience did not hold the gadget at the required distance. People brings mobile devices to the face on average by 4-6 cm closer than the permissible.

What distance do you need to keep a smartphone?

In the publication of the same " Journal»The rule" 1 – 2 – 10 ", To follow, should anyone who wants to stay with good eyesight. Rule says: The smartphone screen must be placed in 1 foot from the face (30 cm), the computer monitor is 2 feet (60 cm), " blue screen»TV - 10 feet (3 m).

Exercise "20-20-20" - What are we talking about?

« 20-20-20 "- a famous exercise recommended by ophthalmologists and allows not to overload the eyes when working with a smartphone or computer. Every 20 minutes of work should be discussed from the monitor and focus it for 20 seconds at any point located at a distance of about 6 meters (20 feet). This time will be enough to get the eyes of a well-deserved rest.

Is it possible to set up the phone so that the vision does not fit?

Adjusting the gadget settings, you can reduce the negative impact on vision. Primarily it should be installed quite a large font,to text on the screen, it is clearly visible from a distance of 30 cm. On Android-smartphones there are fonts of types " Large"And" Huge" The value of letters is regulated by a runner, which can be found in the section " Text size"In the main settings.

Also it is worth adjusting the brightness. It is necessary to proceed from how well the room is high. Remember: when in the dark you had to look at the too bright display, you felt physical pain. This is a big stress for the eyes! The owners of the iPhone are recommended to use the option " Autoward" (In chapter " Wallpaper and brightness»Settings) - It automatically adjusts the brightness of the display for external conditions and copes with this" with a bang. "

Set up the gadget so that the vision does not fit at allwill not succeed - for this you will have to completely refuse to use mobile devices.

Is it possible to preserve vision thanks to mobile accessories?

Accessories can also help. When using a smartphone, the screen whom he glances, the user needs to be prepared for the fact that the problems with vision will not make themselves waiting for a long time. Even small choppers lead to an overvoltage of the eyes. Get rid of glare easily - need to stick on the screen a fruit film. This accessory is inexpensive and also durable. As a bonus, a matte film will protect the display from scratches and fingerprints.

Another useful tool is contact lenses with HD optics. Lenses allow you to reduce eye load, even if the user reads from a mobile device with poor light or with regular lighting shifts. In the Russian market, lenses with high-definition optics from the company are widely represented Bausch & Lomb..

Proper nutrition - Assistant Advanced Yuzer?

Vitamin A has a positive effect on vision. In large quantities, it is contained in fish, blueberries, carrots, eggs - it is precisely on these products to focus in a diet of a person who suffers from "gadget dependence". However, it is important to remember that well eat not enough to preserve vision. It is estimated: to compensate for the damage that gadgets are applied to the eyes, a person needs to eat 5-6 kg of carrots every day.

Is it worth worrying about visibility if you wear lenses or glasses?

Permanent "Communication" with a smartphone also has a negative impact on the vision of people who use contact lenses or wearing glasses. If, let's say, on debt work, a person is forced to constantly "sit" in a smartphone or at a computer, it is recommended to contact an ophthalmologist. The doctor will help you choose the optics, taking into account the health of the eyes and professional activity of a person.

There are several recommendations for those who do not think the ride in the subway or in a taxi without reading. First of all, such people should think about acquiring an electronic book with technology E-ink. Such books do not have the backlight, their pages are visually similar to ordinary paper, the font value can be customized by anything - due to this negative impact on vision is minimal. Plus electronic books E-ink lies in long autonomous work - Since energy is consumed only to turn pages, the device can do without recharging for a whole month. Minus - High Cost: e-books lately rose generally, and deviss E-ink It will cost the buyer in the amount of about 10 thousand rubles.

Paper literature also does not need to be discarded from the accounts. When reading text with paper, the eyes are strained much less than when concentrating on a tiny screen of a smartphone - therefore, a negative effect below. Objection to buy real Books are expensive, as a rule, unreasonable. Business literature can really fly "in a penny"; Artistic for sale in online stores Ozon. and Book24. Practically for nothing. Libraries also no longer canceled - here you can take a book for free.

iPhone 7 - a device that you want or not, causes discussion to the vast debate candidates for the presidency of the United States. The new generation did not become the same breakthrough as the iPhone 6, in two versions of which the traditionally tiny diagonal of the screen unexpectedly increased. Nevertheless, for Apple and all fans of "apple" products, the output of the iPhone 7 is a grand event.

In one of the discussions, the user who considers himself a fan of Android devices amounted to a list of basic advantages and disadvantages. new iPhone.. Among them are five reasons why the owners of "googlofones" will spit from the iPhone 7 and five reasons why they will want to acquire a "apple" novelty.

"Vs"

1. Low screen resolution

Despite the fact that the screen in each generation apple smartphones It becomes better from the point of view of brightness, color reproduction and many other parameters, its permission has not changed for three seasons.

I do not say that the screen is bad. It is sufficient for most users. Until you start peering in fonts and icons. And ... see pixelization. Yes, I quit. And I have a complete right, given the cost of the device.

But this is not the main thing. Key "Fishka" apple screens The fact that they are very easy to smash. The usual mineral glass does not experience the drops as well as, for example, the last generations of Gorilla Glass or the unbreakable screen of Motorola flagships. In the new generation, this drawback has been preserved - at least, Apple has not stated that they solved the problem of the fragile screen from the "seven".

2. No headphone jack

Lack of 3.5-mm connector for headphones. Until you encounter this feature of the iPhone 7, do not think as uncomfortable. Yes, in the kit there are headphones with Lightning. Yes, there is an adapter. And here begin "but".

Adapter is the first candidate to be lost. Plus, the appearance of a beautiful iPhone 7 with this cheap "layer" between the device and headphones for 200-300 dollars much loses in the integrity of perception. I would definitely left the adapter in the box and forgot about it.

Complete headphones for me is not a solution: Earpods have such a construction that does not allow them to keep in my ears more than three steps, and after 30 minutes of listening to music without movement in the ears space begin to hurt. Not mine.

There is one way out - Buying wireless headphones Or headphones with Lightning. And these are additional costs, and not the smallest. Good wireless "ears", for example, are not worth 3 and not 4 thousand rubles. I do not like when my capabilities are artificially limited.

3. Dimensions and compromises

The size of the current iPhone line is the main compromise of these devices. It would seem that you still need for happiness: a very small iPhone SE with 4 inches, iPhone 7 with a diagonal of 4.7 and "shovel" 7 plus with 5.5 inches.

But a person who is accustomed to Android arises a problem. If in the direction of the iPhone SE, it is unlikely to look after its microscopic size, then here IPhone 7 may interest it. And here it happens. Standard diagonal screens on Android - range from 5 to 5.7 inches. Most of the convenient smartphones fall into the range of 5-5.2 inches (for example, Galaxy S7, HTC 10, Sony Xperia XZ). After such devices, the screen on the iPhone 7 is clearly small.

"But there is 7 plus!" - You will tell me. Right. Only he is so shovel that in size even more than hot in every sense of the novelty from Samsung, Galaxy Note 7, where the screen diagonal is greater than in 7 Plus. And from this choice in favor of the "plus" I would also call a compromise: you have to sacrifice convenience and compactness for the sake of big Screenthat, as other manufacturers show, is not always required.

And one more thing - Wireless. Apple on the presentation has long been talking about the failure of the wires and the transition to the era of "Wireless", that is, wireless. My legitimate question: where wireless charger Lost? It's time to add to the iPhone, 2016 in the yard.

4. no notification indicator

Trifle, tell me. The iPhone can turn on the screen when you take it off the table. Yes, a little thing, yes, can. But it does not mean the significance of the notification indicator.

I always know what kind of notification flew to my Samsung: Missed call - the indicator blinks blue, the message in Facebook Messenger is green, someone wrote in whatsapp is yellow. Without taking a phone in your hands, you see who could call you or write you. Very convenient, but iPhone users are not available, and sorry.

5. Price

Android-smartphones have long ceased to be "cheap zapod under the iPhone". Price tag on samsung flagships Or Sony, and recently, even on the Chinese Huawei who loved me, as close as possible to the cost of the iPhone 7. But I used to watch, for which the manufacturer asks for such money.

In the case of the same Samsung, I understand the pricing by 100% - the maximum performance on the most modern and technological hardware, best screens (Yes, and in fashionable curved), magnificent ergonomics.

In the iPhone you pay for another - for the apple on the back panel and the overall balance of the device, which works perfectly, despite the characteristics mediocre by the standards of 2016.

For rather big money from the iPhone you get the best on the ecosystem market - your MacBook and iPad Pro always work in a bundle with your iPhone, everything is synchronized, everywhere general content is convenient. But sometimes too intrusive. And some things (such as binding to iTunes, and now also to Lightning / Bluetooth headphones) cause irritation.

The price tag on the iPhone in Russia personally causes questions. Another thing - in the USA: If we compare prices with our, the residents of America, the device will cost cheaper on one fifth or even a quarter (depending on the state tax) - this is the conversation!

"Per"

1. Device "All and immediately"

Waterproofing, one of the best cameras in the smartphone market, great speed, games are guaranteed without brakes - in the iPhone there is everything you need from a modern smartphone. All this is concluded in the well-collected, pleasant and stylish housingAnd in the case of "just" seven more and ergonomically close to ideal.

2. Camera

When you buy any fresh iPhone, you can be sure that the camera in it is a gold standard for the category of mobile devices. iPhone 7 is no exception, but in version Plus. Also with a steep chip - a double camera. And in Apple did a truly unique thing. For the market android smartphones double camera Not news: take for example Huawei P9 or LG G5.

But for the first time in the industry, the second camera is used for portrait shooting (will be available later from software update) and hardware support for a 2-fold optical zoom. In my opinion, this is a much more applied story, rather than a black and white module in P9, which improves color reproduction.

The implementation of the wide-angle chamber in LG G5 is also very interesting from the point of view of the final result, but the function proposed by Apple seems to me potentially more popular. We are waiting for the influx of steep portraits in Instagram.

3. Battery.

I do not like to live in the constant sensation that the smartphone is about to discharge. This feeling personally for me is internally similar to the situation when you are late for an important meeting, - such an unpleasant feeling that is slightly nervous and takes out of equilibrium. Almost any smartphone on Android is able to introduce me to a similar nervous state.

But the iPhone 7, and even more than 7 plus it is unlikely to succeed - even since the iPhone 6S Plus, which I tested a year ago, the battery showed itself from the best side - after a whole day of active use, there was almost half of the charge. The promised increase in lifetime from one charging (+2 hours for 7-ki and +1 for 7 plus) should make the iPhone 7 one of the best "long-livers" from one charging on the market, and it costs it dear.

4. Music

I love to listen to music. Almost anyone modern smartphone It is able to adequately reproduce the tracks of my favorite performers. But not everyone is able to do it so that I nodded with pleasure, having heard a clean sound with an honest juicy bass and a high level of detail in my favorite headphones.

iPhone has always been good in terms of sound in headphones, and without them too. Even one speaker iPhone. 6s Plus played quite decently, and the stereo sound of the speakers "seven" will block last year's flagship.

There are "musical" smartphones in the market with special chips responsible for the musical component that can satisfy even the most demanding listener. But none of them cannot be called a truly massive smartphone for everyone. And iPhone can be a good choice For those who need a good sound (let it be overshadowed by the lack of standard 3.5-mm Jack in new products).

5. Applications and games

Optimization, optimization and optimization again. Instant launch of even the most difficult toys and applications is about the iPhone. Developers still earn mainly on iOS applications (Android is much less profitable) - therefore, they pay so much attention to the platform and products for it.

It is here that most exclusives live (let it even in a short period of time) - often it is the iPhone users first to receive new applications and games (the same MSQRD or promised to the MARIO presentation).

You do not need to delve into the details and think about whether you will start the game with maximum settings Charts or not, - on a new (and many old) iPhone guaranteed to work absolutely everything that is available in the App Store. And it's great.

conclusions

What do we have at the exit? I, as a person who has changed one Android flagship for many years, is obviously one thing: Android platform is more flexible, a variety of manufacturers and models of smartphones gives customers a choice.

Want easy interface? Please - here's you new flagship from Huawei. Appreciate operating system without "add-ons"? Google's top smartphone (before Nexus, and soon, likely Pixel) is already waiting for you on the store shelf. Want to maximum productivity And the better functionality in your device?
