The dispute between Apple and Samsung in the smartphone market has been running for almost 10 years. Back then Apple introduced the iPhone 4 along with the Koreans their first Samsung Galaxy S. Apple is already on the iPhone 11 and Samsung for the Galaxy S20, and since then many things have happened.
Throughout the 10 years of competition both of these companies were present enemies in court, a Korean company sentenced to pay Apple for infringing its copyright, with foreign friends, Samsung and Apple are partners with most of the OLED panels including the iPhone made in Korea.
At the moment it can be said that both companies are at a very high level, both in terms of design and operational efficiency, however this is something that did not happen 10 years ago. The Samsams were quite clear your Android customization layer was not in par
Text that shows Apple was a mirror to look at
If the iPhone represents something from the launch, and almost all Apple devices, it is because it has a handy operating system. For Apple, software is just as important as hardware, and that's why he wants both to be completely managed. However this is not something Samsung can emulate, because even though it can customize Android, the system is not for you. In that case Android companies have taken a long time to reach out to the darkness and iOS capabilities, and articles like this one from Samsung show what they should be working on.
For this list of things that make iOS better, we're talking about iOS 4There are many today that will seem foolish to us, but then they made a difference. We won't list them all, which you can use in the official document, but some of the ones we found interesting:
- Landscape mode, a few Apple apps like notes or a calculator changed when you turned the iPhone into a mucus land, which is something Samsung devices didn't do.
- Duplicate symptoms, on Android there may be repeated icons on the home screen, something that doesn't happen on the iPhone and that Samsung saw it as a problem due to user confusion.
- Copy / Paste Function holding the name down, something that was not available on Samsung smartphones.
- It's easy to keep a number as a contact, on the iPhone only needed 3 steps, for Samsung up to 5 steps.
- Link to a URL, phone number or address, when you save a note or receive a message via a web page, number or address on the iPhone that you can press and will allow you to access the web, call or see an address on a map, this is something that was not available on the Galaxy.
- Calendar icon, on the iPhone the calendar icon changes daily indicating the current day, something that never happened on the Galaxy that was the default icon.
- Return to top of website, Galaxy did not return to the start of the web page when it clicked on a status bar like the iPhone.
- ITunes, believe it or not, Samsung is envious of a powerful computer program such as iTunes that handles everything.
- Difficulties in switching between languages on the keyboard, on iOS you can have multiple keyboards running at the same time and switch between them easily, on the Galaxy S you had to go to settings regularly.
- Songs for song, iPhone was the paca to show the lyrics of the songs that were played.
- Visual effects, Samsung wanted to copy the results by deleting a message, note or email on iOS.
As we can see many things Samsung wanted to emulate from iOSOver time, many of these jobs have changed, though some remain exactly the same as we had 10 years ago.
