5 “innovations” for iPhone 6 not new to Android phones

Mga tanga at bobo at madaling mauto lang bibili niyan… if i had the money i’d choose note 4 and G3 instead… baka nga sa Mi3 olats na yan

One word. “Customization”.

Apple still lacks that feature that some android users have been enjoying for so many years. Para din mood ng tao, paiba-iba. I’m content that my phone can give me a different user experience depending on my mood. I can have a windows experience with Launcher 8, or even iOS if i feel like it. Plus there’s Themer and a plethora of alternative launchers available in the play store. Want 3D? there’s Next Launcher. Want speed? There’s Lightning, etc…

If Apple acknowledges the online theming community and make the iOS a little more accessible to customizers, it will be a win-win situation for both apple and the consumers.

iphones are for people who wants attention and wants to feel important. 99% of people who buys the stupid product is purely for vanity and nothing else.

meron ako iphone 5s, y? may pambili ako e, pera ko to anong pake nyu. hehe

marami din kasing apps ang nasa ios na wala sa android.

sa ios, madaling mag-print via wifi. basta naka-connect ka na sa wifi network madali na mag-print. sa android kasi hassle. hanap ka pa ng compatible na app para lang maka add ka ng printer.

ung mga games na magaganda sa ios una lumalabas.

parang kotse land din yan. if you can afford to buy a bmw, would you still buy a toyota, considering both cars can take you from point a to point b?

The author of the article clearly knows nothing about iOS. Ever heard of continuity? Look that up and see if your android can do that seamlessly without lag or installing anything. As for the specs, benchmark results of iPhone 5s beats S5 to a pulp and that phone is from 2013.

Btw how much screen estate did s4 innovate to s5? .1 in? Wtf

android cheap rules!!!!!! i feel superior using my android phone!!!!

ok, lets wait for their 2016. lol

I use nfc everyday on my Nexus. I have a nfc tag on my car door which toggles Bluetooth on, turns on Waze and Spotify when I tap my phone. Another tap will do vice versa.

boi im pretty sure android fans are a sucker when the first iphone came out and android just copied it

Fanboys insist that iOS is the better ecosystem? From someone who owns an iPhone 5 and a Note 3, i can tell you for a fact that apps crashes more frequently in iOS.

Lets Begin
1.HD display, you say that we dont have HD diplay, well come to think of it, we have retina display, wich is more advance and more sharper than you amo led tech.

2.NFC? we have that too, only thing is it work for apple to apple devices only you get the point? “Exclusivity” my friend :p

3. Wifi Calling: Whats the point of using it when you have viber or whats app. also i would like to let you know we have iMessege and face time, we can call via voice and as i can recall also video :p since the first gen I phone.

4.Optical Image Stabilization, we dont need that our camera lens is not that crappy anyway.

5. Quick type: pls we have that, its dreaded for its auto correct fails.

Nuf said…fckr

one-sided article. title pa lang mukang hater na ang author!

ill just grab my popcorn.
anyway, both have their pros and cons. been using iOS since 2009 and android since 2010. back then when smartphones were like very rare in the ph.
seeing both platforms evolve to one’s preference is pretty amazing..

to settle once and for all..
Apple’s market is for the people dwelled in their iOS ecosystem of apps.and yes, it is innovative for their ios to finally integrate the features that android had and hopefully they would learn from the mistakes of android and then make it better for their users to enjoy and overall a better experience for iOS users..that is why they sell big time.

android on the other hand is giving the best money can buy and strive to make it easy to learn like what apple does. but overall, its offering the future of smartphones and what technology can really do.

In the end it’s still about preference. No need to say someone is stupid or is sheep just because he/she prefers an iphone to an android. Or telling those who like android that they are cheap.

If you prefer a certain OS or phone then go buy it and use it.

Telling someone that his choice is stupid will not make your choice better.

Each have it’s pros and cons. One can be good at something while the other cannot. Both platforms experience lag and apps crashing; meaning that there is no perfect o.s. Some may contest that one is superior than the other, but it all boils down to preferences. With regards to price, the iPhone is expensive due to majority (or all) of its parts (camera, screen, etc) are outsourced. Wherein unlike in some android phones (for example Samsung) manufactures most of its parts that gives them lower price.

Dumbest defense of an apple fanboy:

“Wala kasing pabili kaya bina-bash ang iPhone…”

Apple turned to be a hypocrite calling othr phones as copycats.Google shoud have patented a 5″ phone just to piss apple off with their claim of a rounded rectangle

My background is in usability. It surprised me before the iPad was released that almost everyone (Apple, Android or whatever) said the iPad better run existing desktop apps – totally useless idea, but I now believe fairly obvious.

There’s always an argument of adding “runs desktop apps” an an option/feature, which would be a good thing, but at an early stage all that does is delay or stop a developer from making an app designed for touch. This would lessen the experience, and have people decide that a regular laptop would work better for them. An extra feature can be a hindrance.

On a similar vein, surveys of touch-keyboard users in the first year of iPhones showed that iPhone users were 80% happy and would be prepared to use a touch keyboard on any phone, while only 20% of users were happy on other phones and the rest wouldn’t want a touch keyboard again on an iPhone or any other phone.

The experience is very important! And Apple did it much better in the first few years. The iPhone 1 actually did less than my Nokia, but most of the Nokia features were inaccessible to my father and a pain for power users, so you didn’t bother. The resolution “improvement” is meaningless to me regardless of what an Android phone does.

What I’m missing is the usability reports. What does an Android phone encourage in my daily usage, in comparison to an iPhone. Does it do things consistently. Essentially “what would I end up using differently on an Samsung vs Apple device”. Not “what COULD I do?”, but “what WOULD I do?”.

The question is difficult to answer. I know that historically Apple got higher marks for that question, and I know historically other companies don’t understand the distinction (and understanding it is important), so for now I’ll stick with the iPhone.

But I’m hugely pleased that we have 2 highly competitive companies doing things in different ways, it really pushes the whole industry forward.

Definition of “innovation”: Innovation is a new idea, device or process.Innovation can be viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulated needs, or existing market needs.This is accomplished through more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments and society.

On the hardware side, there might not be any innovations, just inclusions (Apple Pay is definitely an innovation though) but on the entire iPhone 6 and Apple Watch presentation, the word “innovate” or it’s derivatives have never been used.

It’s interesting that a “review” site like YugaTech often reviews cookie-cutter Android phones and only has good words for these but gives flak for an iPhone?

It’s like the expectation of an obviously Android-focused site is higher for Apple than Android devices. That every single Apple release should definitely have an innovation, and a hardware one at that?

I’d like to also say a few things about some of the points above.

NFC: NFC is old tech but has Android ever been able to truly leverage on this? Doesn’t the pathetic number of Android phones with NFC and the number of existing NFC-capable devices like wireless speakers show that Android use this mostly as a buzzword and niche feature? How many outlets have rolled out support for Google Wallet? With NFC on iPhones, can anyone say with a straight face that mobile payments and NFC-enabled gadgets won’t suddenly swarm the market now?

OIS: This is a nitpicky thing to complain about. You mentioned *one* other Android phone with this feature but even without OIS, the iPhone cameras have always been superior and is the standard to which other phone cameras are compared to.

Now to the people in the comments complaining how iPhones are overpriced: they’re not. Just because Apple doesn’t make cheap devices doesn’t mean they’re overpriced; they cost as much as your Android flagships. People who focus on sticker price are sadly uninformed. Owning gadgets is like owning a car. There are costs to maintain it. Just the superior and fuss-free warranty policy of Apple is more than enough to justify it but then again, people who never had any Apple stuff wouldn’t know about it.
