I do not know how it happened, but Apple has clearly evolved from a technology company into a religious cult. This religion has its holy temples in the form of Apple Store stores worldwide and icons in the face of the iPhone and iPad, which have accepted the teachings of the adepts pray. Although the value of these icons doubt somehow it is not accepted, but we still try, risking the wrath of fanatical little otkovyryat leaf gilding. Here's a full five-demand features that are not available to owners of iPhone, but there are even in the cheap Chinese Android.
Not to extend to infinity comparison field, we will not consider geeky tricks in the form of jailbreak, root, Custom firmware and other things. Just the usual factory settings, regular programs and the most basic functions.
Wallpaper
Even such a simple detail, as background image desktop, Android has a space for creativity. You can specify which portion of the image to use as wallpaper and choose a nice scrolling effect that your wallpaper will move smoothly when switching between screens. In addition, Android offers the use of live animated wallpapers. With their help, you can greatly revitalize and beautify your phone, forcing him to play highlights of underwater life, the shadows of the wild forest, or simply shimmering abstract animations.
Home screen and widgets
iPhone home screen is one of the most significant functions of IOS platform - large icons in a grid of 4 × 4 (4 × 5 in the iPhone 5) and four buttons on the bottom panel for frequently used applications. In addition to changing the wallpaper and icons change order is not nothing else that an iPhone user could do to change that view. What a boring things ...
For the owner of Android home screen is a digital canvas on which he paints a broad brush picture of the ideal mobile interface. Widgets, watch, weather widgets, contacts, icons, folders - all of which can be organized in this way, as it is convenient to the user of the device. About impressive examples of user desktops, we have already mentioned in this article.
Default Applications
The iPhone's remarkable default program, but perfection, as we know, does not happen, and if you want to change, for example, the browser Google Chrome, simply because you will not succeed. The same applies to the other programs.
On Android, you can assign your favorite application for any action. Open the music in the most convenient for you the player, use the archiver to unpack the file, replace the default image gallery, set a camera function and so on. Complete freedom and indulging tastes of users.
Keyboard
If you do not like the iPhone keyboard, then you're out of luck. But will have to endure, nothing can be done - faith requires humility. At the same time satisfied Android users to choose between dozens of different paid and completely free keyboards that use various input technologies and prediction algorithms. This allows you to choose the way of working with the text, which is convenient for you and not the creators and device designers.
launchers
In Google we tried very hard and for the exit of the fourth version have really beautiful, comfortable and modern type of its mobile operating system. But if you get bored, you can always try something new with one of the dozens of available launcher for Android. C them you can fundamentally change not only the appearance but also the behavior of your gadget. You can change the icon, the number of desktops, add or remove the launchpad, customize your phone's reaction to touch and events and much more. A field for experimentation simply great pity that iPhone users are deprived of all this.
Of course, the list of the Android mobile system capabilities, which iPhone owners can only dream of these items is not limited and you can easily his comments continue. But even that is enough to come to the only correct conclusion: all is not gold that glitters, and not all of the icon, to which they pray. Even if it's a phone with a bitten apple.
