Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone is not dramatic at all. And even more so since applications like WhatsApp can be easily transferred to the other system. This is something that more and more users are doing and they are probably doing it with the help of a series of reasons why iOS stands out from Androiddespite the fact that both operating systems are already very mature.
Personally, I honestly believe that choosing between one system and another is a matter of small details. I myself have straddled both for years. However, I believe that there are elements for which someone interested in buying an iPhone might end up deciding. We review them here.
1- You will buy high-end
We are not talking about a question of status here. It’s obvious that for many, an Apple product like the iPhone is something to brag about. However, we are moving more in the direction of the advantages offered by a high range in terms of materials, performance, updates and other features.
Depending on the model you choose, you may find Android phones with better or worse features. However, the iPhone ones will never be bad. And while it is true that this is something to be expected given its high price, it is no less remarkable that even an iPhone SE, the brand’s cheapest, already comes with high-end components. range.
2- Construction with high-end materials
We have rightly highlighted this previously and it is iPhones are made with high-quality materials which play an important role in terms of resistance, durability, sense of touch and, why not say it, in the aesthetic field.
They are not the most durable cell phones in the world and of course they can break if bumped or dropped. However, Apple tries to make them as durable as possible on all their edges. On the front with a Ceramic Shield that they presented in 2020 and which has continued to improve, it is a set of improvements for the panel that guarantee greater resistance to scratches and shocks.
At the rear we find steel or titaniumdepending on the device chosen. All are polished to facilitate comfortable use in the hand, but also to guarantee greater resistance to shocks as is the case on the front side.
3- Better resale value
Rotate it with the first point, iPhones triumph in second-hand sales losing little value compared to what it costs. This will always depend on the condition of the terminal, as well as its age. Regardless, as a general rule, it’s usually easy to sell them if they’re in good condition when they’re one, two, or even three years old.
Unlike other brands, it is hardly devalued because Apple does not lower prices nor does it make offers that, in the long term, end up causing the product to lose economic value. In addition, Apple itself has a program to renew the old iPhone in exchange for a discount on the new one and that although it is usually lower than the average value of what would be obtained on the platforms buying and selling, it’s a good solution if you don’t want to make it complicated or you are in a hurry to sell the terminal.
4- Apple’s magical ecosystem
Obviously, it’s not magic, even if it looks a lot like it. If you own two or more Apple devices Great benefits can be found through good communication between the two. And we’re not just talking about syncing photos, files, or other iCloud-related items.
The “magic” of this ecosystem is experienced with functions such as AirDrop to quickly send files between several devices (even if they are not the same owner) or the universal clipboard which allows you to copy a text or a file on a device and paste it. on another. Also interesting is the ability to use an iPhone as a Mac webcam or even control the iPhone from macOS.
5- Customer service
There are kind, caring, determined workers at Apple and any other company like it. Just like hostiles who generate more problems than solutions. However, there is something that we have been checking for some time and that is that Apple is generally the most efficient in areas of technical support and customer service in general.
Whether in an Apple Store, at the SAT (Approved Technical Service) or online from home, How quickly the problem is resolved is astonishing.. Either with a repair of the terminal itself or with the delivery of another. By going to a store, in most cases you will leave with the repaired iPhone in two hours maximum. If you prefer to do it from home, they will collect your terminal and return it to you for free in less than a week.
6- Focused on privacy and security
Apple has been banking on privacy for some time and winning everywhere. From fully encrypting your data in iCloud to forcing App Store apps to use privacy labels, to glowing elements on the screen when one accesses things like the microphone, camera or the location.
This is in line with their commitment to safety. And there is nothing better than the StatCounter data which shows that, since there are recordings, The majority of malware designed is intended for Windows (nearly 60%) and 20% for Android.. On iOS it barely exceeds 9% and this is largely due to the complexity of accessing this system.
However, one should not be careless here either. Ultimately, they can scam you in several ways, regardless of the operating system. There are many scams that reach the iPhone through channels such as SMS, email or social media.
7- The best mobile phone to record videos
In the field of photography, iPhones are always in the TOP 3 or TOP 5 of cell phones with the best camera on the market. However, its strong point is not this, but the 4K video recording and its additions. From a full cinema mode in which you always focus on the desired subject to image stabilization that is still the envy of many other manufacturers today.
8- Better quality in social networks like Instagram
In line with the above, there is one fact that has haunted non-Apple users for years: iPhones process images and videos on Instagram better. Android manufacturers have been implementing camera modes that allow content to be downloaded from the native app to alleviate this problem for years, but even so, App compression makes them look even better on iOS. All this applied to Instagram’s already famous “Stories”.
9- More accessibility features
Personally, I’ve had the chance to speak with many iOS users with disabilities and they all agree that iOS is much more accessible to people who are deaf, blind or have reduced mobility. All this thanks to functions such as voice control or haptic vibrations.
10- Family options for multiple users
It doesn’t matter if they are truly family or just friends. Apple’s “Family Sharing” setup allows up to six people (including you) purchases and subscriptions of sharesas well as lower costs when subscribing to Apple services with Apple One. You can also, if you wish, see your location in real time for added security.
And while it is true that there are similar options on Android, the configuration on Apple is more complete and easier to carry out. In addition to this functionality, you can control a minor’s account one is an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
11- You will be able to have a complete copy of everything (literally)
iOS backup (whether iCloud or on a computer) is complete to the point that if you need to restore the iPhone or have purchased a new one you will be able to have everything as you had it when you made the copy. From photos and other files, to the settings you’ve applied, to all the apps, their placement order, and their wallpaper.
Now the decision is yours
After this review, it is obvious that there will be points that interest you more than others. And we emphasize once again that buying a mobile phone with Android can also be very good, but whether we are Applesfera or not, we firmly believe that these are arguments that together are more than valid to consider switch to iOS. Or to stay if you already have an iPhone and what tempts you is to go to the dark side.
