IPhone dead. What is wrong with Apple products

iPhone is rapidly becoming obsolete

I can not just run the app on my iPhone 6 Plus. Most of them will generate an error. And if open, then after a long delay. The battery sits down quickly. In the tech support said that it's all right.

Remember how Apple admittedThat slows smartphones with old batteries? Yes, the company has released a new version of iOS, where you can disable this option. But this solution looks more like an attempt to avoid litigation costs, than to care about the users.

When I try to make a video, I see only a black screen. Take a picture, too, is problematic: An eternity passes before the application opens. In addition, the shutter is released immediately.

This phone worked very well three years ago. Now a terrible user experience far outweighs the minimal benefits from the updates that manufactures Apple.

I have the original Moto X (2013), and it still works flawlessly.

Support for Apple incompetent

The case, which occurred to me, not associated with the iPhone. However, it is revealing. Recently on my MacBook leg I broke off. He was still under warranty by AppleCare program, so I went to the store. They told me that they do not cover the replacement of foot as a consumable item. True, but in my case it is necessary to change the entire lower part of the body, which costs $ 250.

I said Apple representative that call to AppleCare support to understand the issue. And he asked to make a request. The employee said he had already done so.

Later, I contacted technical support, and telephone worker told me that I have made a replacement leg. In this case, no application in the database, he can not see.

I had to go to the store to Apple representative again visited a laptop and confirmed the absence of foot. Later, I again called tech support, so that they once again checked and confirmed its request. This time it happened.

I asked to send the item to the Apple store, which was the closest to my house. A week later I got a call and was told that the spare part arrived. However, she was brought to the store on the other side of town. I asked to send it to the point of sale to the specified address. The tech support told me that they would have to return the item first to a warehouse, and then store employees must make a reservation. And only in this case it will get to them.

A week later spare finally come to the right place. After a couple hours of waiting the clerk returned my MacBook. I looked at him and saw that the leg is still broken. The manager went over and came back with a refurbished laptop in five minutes.

It turns out that not only do they not have repaired it for the first time, but kept have two hours instead of a few minutes.

If you want to change the battery on your iPhone, you may have to wait for more than one week. Nowadays, you can not live without your smartphone so long. So the question remains open: the incompetence of some of the staff or the company deliberately makes people give up official support?

outdated design

Even iPhone X looks outdated compared to the Samsung Galaxy S8. This is a pretty subjective, but S8 much better feel in the hands. When I watch movies, OLED-screen due to the ideal black body merges with the smartphone. He looks like a phone out of science fiction. While X iPhone screen is enclosed in a fairly broad framework.

For comparison:

• Galaxy S8 - 5.8 inches, Super AMOLED with a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels (the pixel density of 570 dots per inch), brightness - 1000 nits, screen ratio to the housing - 83.6 percent.
• iPhone X - 5.8 inches, True Tone OLED with a resolution of 2436 x 1125 pixels (the pixel density of 458 dots per inch), brightness - 625 nits, the ratio of the screen to the housing - 82.9 percent.

But the most frustrating monobrov. Because of it, some of the information on the screen is lost. For example, while surfing the Internet.

In Android, Galaxy S8 better functionality

1. AutoComplete in LastPass. Of course, this feature of the application, but on the iPhone it does not work well. I seem to participate in the quest, when set up your smartphone.

2. NFC two-factor authentication. You can use the YubiKey on the iPhone, but it requires a device key that is extremely inconvenient.

3. Slot for SD-cards. On my previous iPhone I do not have enough space. The only way out - to buy a new phone.

4. A safe place to unlock. A very useful feature. Thanks to her, you do not have to continually enter password phone at home or work.

5. Samsung Pay works on any terminal in addition to ATMs, Apple Pay - no.

6. Notifications on Android better implemented.

7. No need to buy a headphone jack.

8. You can choose how to unlock the phone: password, finger or face.

9. Additional options for saving battery.

10. Gear VR.

11. Built-in software for filtering spam.

12. Additional hardware button. We are talking about a side button that causes Bixby. With bxActions you can configure it so that it includes a flashlight.

13. On Android do backup much easier. You do not need to install iTunes or to pay for iCloud.

14. The phone will not go into sleep mode, as long as you look at it.

On iOS, there is no customization

Any Android-smartphone you can customize yourself: install applications that automatically update your wallpaper, the new launcher and a more convenient phone book. But the main thing - you do not have to download them from the official store.

Synchronization in Google Photo works much better than when Apple.

custom keyboard on Android is not worse than the official ones. While the keyboard on iOS third-party developers are working poorly.

iOS does not offer anything that can Android, because Apple deliberately limits the ability of developers.

Apple is not the same

Apple always took other people's achievements and to bring them to perfection. Recently, the company simply sluggish lagging behind competitors. Their products do not stand out, except for the price. But at the same time it offers the same features as the other.

For example, Samsung devices for a while now support wireless charging. Apple joined only recently.

Samsung is experimenting with VR and DeX. This is not the ideal products. Nevertheless, Apple is not able to provide the dream technology.

"Innovative Opportunities", which shows off Apple's, is also not impressive. Animoji - a dubious thing. The more so because it can be implemented without TrueDepth technology. It was a pure marketing to sell more iPhone X. Force Touch has been working for many years, but those who use it?

Apple smartphones do not deserve your money. I'm going to buy devices on Android, while the company Steve Jobs again manifest itself.
