Please can you loud it for them. It's not just the features of the phone. There's this top of the line feeling you have when operating the iPhone (the experience) that can't be quantify

The feeling is subjective.

First iPhone (it was 7) I handled I got the feel alright but after that I didn't get any zing or electric feel using it.
When my classmates were shouting like mad women cos a guy got an iPhone 11 Pro, didn't feel a thing.

If I wanted a smooth Android to match the iPhone, all I got to do is own a device that can match it from its processor to the camera.

setobaba:
Pls no hate here, I don’t really comment on thread like this, but I must say this with all honestly, all my life I’ve always use android from the scratch, until around March this year, when I had to do some stuff which android can’t handle, so I had to buy an iPhone with the hope of reselling after been through with it. Pls right now no other OS stronger and durable compare to IPhone.
Before you attack me and meet your Waterloo, I currently own both Samsung S8 and IPhone XR, on my life I don’t have joy each time I’m operating my Samsung, starting from the key pads to multi tasking. Dam iPhone beat androids hands down. The only different or regret is data consumption, iPhone consume more data than androids.

Bye

Lemme address something , I sell phones , I've personally used both phones you've mentioned , now unless you can categorically tell me what the XR can do that the s8 can't do albeit slower . Apart from snap picture in Portrait mode . Another thing is when comparing devices try to compare same devices within the same year . The XR is the longest iPhone I've used and I got it brand new from a seller on nairaland here . Other than the decent battery life and snappy processor, theres nothing really nice about it no offense. The camera is just ok , I can tell you x takes better pictures than it , the physical design is somewhat generic and its quite heavy , mine even fell one time when I took of the pouch but the heart attack I almost had made me never try that shit again , though there was no scratch or any defect .

Now when comparing screen quality , ignore that bs that XR screen is crappy can't be compared to the s8 at all , unless you bought a refurbished s8 . Yeah in almost every other category it beats it but the s8 is easier to use because of its smaller size .

There are four things I consider when buying a phone.
1 aesthetics of the device, e must fine
2 battery must be ok
3 screen must be amoled ( now )
4 the processor must be able to do serious multitasking and be very snappy .

I'm a fan of the XR I like the device but I don't see myself using it or the 11 because I really don't like LCD displays no offense.

And please still tell me the thing the XR can do that the s8 couldn't I'd just like to know please .

And lastly when using a new iOS device theres a thrill this sweetness , I experienced it when I was using my iPad 2 many years ago , that was my first iOS device , that shit they play gangster Vegas and soccer very fluid and the screen size hmmm was the bomb , not even forgetting the mad battery , that was one of thr very best devices I ever used .

The airpods has its unique design but that's another story. There are claims flying around that they also infringed on another company patents though that is yet to be proven true.



Not a coincidence if they paid to use ARM architecture (Cortex X1) as their in-house custom cores were a disaster. Qualcomm using it to maintain their monopoly is nothing new. Also licensing is different from patenting.




Samsung went with the niche and improved on it as they made more devices.
Apple on the other hand made it and left it at that, recycling the same thing and charging a premium on it with each release.




They're marketing strategies but they got their own purposes despite the disadvantages with them.

@bolded LIDAR was termed useless but they went on with it and people suddenly love it, forgetting Pixel 4 had it.
Refresh rate was termed useless by all iSheeps but now they're asking Apple to implement it.
OLED was bashed by Jobs himself but na dem dey use am now and Samsung is their supplier (same company that did them dirty)


The iPhone is stands out in its own way but Android has its perks that makes it stand out as well but that doesn't mean the iPhone is the best device so far as some put it.

Also despite being the richest tech company in the world, they couldn't reduce the size of the notch but only to increase it but our country people will not see it cos na iPhone and e no matter.

Jobs wasn't alive to see the birth of OLED on phones.
I never said IPhone is the best, I said since it's has its own unique ecosystem, that makes it stand out.
The notch houses the face unlock tech which uses the 3D scan unlike the ones on Android that uses 2D. one is more secure than the other. That's why the IPhone from X up except the SE 2020 doesn't have fingerprint. Pixel 4 that went with the same face unlock had to use the notch too.
if in the future the notch can be made to function underdisplay, Apple will do it. for now hiding it under display like you so desperately want will make it unable to capture your face clearly under low lighting conditions and thus can't grant you access to your phone.

You posted something from 2015. Samsung will still make money from the iphone 12 to iphone 1000.

Because Samsung makes premium screen. No denying that. I said "Samsung copied the iPhone to become a competitor in the market" . You laughed about that and I had to show you prove.
For all of Samsung Exynos chips, why are they still using the SD chips on their premium phones.

The iPhone doesn't have a Note series. The Apple pencil is for IPads, hence it's somewhat limited features. Samsung Note series breaches the gap between a normal phone and a tab. If you want to compare tablets, you know the IPad for now is still unrivaled.

If you want to go phone to phone... you'll have to compare the S10+ with the 11pro max
then wait for the 12pro max to compare with the S20 ultra.

Some Android devices use 2D scanners true but some recently employed the use of ToF sensors for face unlock which is better than Apple Face ID but some here would disagree.

Apple using the LIDAR tech is to improve Face ID and make AR more of a reality,

Please mention the phone with the best face unlock?? Apple Face ID remains unrivaled even rn.
Most Android uses 2D face recognition or infrared Retina scan.
You can't get the sophistication and security of Apple Face ID with a punch-hole display or without a notch

LG G7 and G8 uses the ToF sensor for 3D mapping and they got the same application as Face ID and the ToF sensor is better (it has a longer range) and somewhat faster than what Apple used for the iPhone X up till the 11 Pro Max.

Oh and FYI Face ID uses infrared tech for mapping ones face for unlocking compared to ToF that uses both infrared and laser for higher accuracy.

Modified - the G7 and G8 are notched and there's nothing like the best overall Face unlock right now, it's not 2017 anymore.
Also reason Face ID is fast is cos it saves a 2D image of your face while setting up which it uses for faster unlock. Some cool innovation huh...

It just shows you don't really know Apple Face ID. It uses TrueDepth Sensor camera same thing ToF does... both shots infared beams at your face.
FYI the G7 was a miss, it's the G8 that uses the better tech.
What do you mean there's nothing like the best overall face unlock??
Apple Face ID is so accurate and secure that it can be use for financial transactions something Android phones will warn you that their face unlock option is not that secure and should only be use as a secondary security option.

Going by your logic. There's no best anything rn in mobile technology

Guess you finally understand why the IPhone keeps coming with notches.

You should know by now Apple are notorious for their naming schemes for existing tech.
While it's true they got the same application, later models of the ToF sensor allows for use of lasers for accurate depth mapping.

But that aside, iOS isn't open source like Android which makes Face ID a risk to use for financial transactions, making Face ID secure which I acknowledge but you see "the best overall", there isn't right now.

For all of Samsung Exynos chips, why are they still using the SD chips on their premium phones.

A competent court in South Korea had to ban these two companies(Iphone and Samsung) from selling smart phones in South Korea in 2012 after finding out they both copied each other and where both guilty of the same accusation they made about each other. I don't usually engage in these sort of comparison but i had to after seeing how strange the the main question was. Its a fair fight. No winner here. The OP made it seem like apple was being too ahead while other phones fell behind. Trust me the those days are gone. Its a highly competitive market with samsung and iphone playing gods while others fall behind the demi god category. CNET plus other top gadget reviewing websites with high reputations for phone reviews all graded the current samsung flagship above the Iphone 11 while i also stumbled upon other reputable sites grading the Iphone 11 as number one. Its perfectly balanced trust me. If i am being a fanboy i would actually side with Samsung because i saw a bigger number of sites putting current S20 above the iphone. In the end it still boils down to usage. It takes a power user to show these superiority in these phones trust me. If you are power user you would understand what i'm saying. I remember using one of the earliest infinix phones as it came out with a paid spotify subscription in it,i had a paid netflix too in it,Mobdro for streaming any US,UK or other premium cable chanels for free and power amp to handle my .FLAC files for a lossless audio. I have never being the picture snapping type so there was no need for a phone with a powerful camera.

While my friend not so tech savvy friend struggled to pay for simple things like itunes with his current gen iphone i was busy checking the US tv guide so i can watch Breaking Bad or a live match in England using some of these apps mentioned. It all depends on your livestyle. Any smartphone should help balance your day to day activity and not for show off. Anyone buying a smartphone should pay for what he can use and not for features they know nothing of which is what most Nigerians do. Usage is everything. Na boys we be. There is no need for all these fights. plenty fights dey. DC vs Marvel, Chelsea vs Man United or even Coca cola vs Pepsi and in the end nobody go gree for each other. They all have where they excel and others don't.

Apple Face ID is unrivaled Q.E.D

I see where you coming from but at the same time you missed the whole point.

Android being open source means that some of your information are logged and saved on cloud by apps you use, not necessarily from some component responsible for security and not all devs abide by this rule. Oh and most financial apps use 2D images saved for authorization and hackers are getting creative when it comes to Android.

iOS being closed source got to do with the security they promise their consumers. I don't know how it fully works but the gist is apps - especially financial ones - sends a request to the neural chip which allows Face ID to be used to authorise a transaction, it generates random keys for each transaction and bars the app from using it again and Apple are strict on this. If not every dev would've had your information long ago.


Fingerprint can be the same if OEMs don't put in measures to tackle it (Samsung Knox is an example) unless sensor used is a fingerprint magnet so there's that.

The gap between Androids and iPhones are almost non-existent to the point that the yet to be launched iPhone 12 offers almost nothing new but Android flagships keeps using new tech for their phones (flagships mostly).

Btw whoever told you that is a fanboy.

wrong,where are you getting this informations from
What do you mean nothing new
What's the difference between the note 20 and note 10?... there are changes but nothing major
Wait for the device to be launched before saying this

Is it not on this platform a guy using the original iphone se was running grid moth r sports, something that requires snapdragon 600 series to run

Calabar1stSon:
Android beats iOS in every sphere of mobile technology! Lemme burst your bubble; Do you know that Android can be used to jailbreak an iOS? Oh Yes! You heard me! It's an undeniable facts!

wrong,iPhones processors are better,I mean for the original iphone se to be running grid motor sports which requires snapdragon 600 series to run on android says something

Ios operating system is smoother and feels a whole lot better although it has to do with taste that's why I didn't say better

Android jailbreaking ios maybe the older ios versions which would be more vunerable to jailbreak tweaks

I'm not saying ios is better but hey the way people like you condemn it is alarming
Next thing I've used ios it's this is that and some people saying that have only used their friends own not personally,I'm not saying you're part of them and of course some have used it personally and prefers android bit they can't condemn it like you did,they'll give it kudos were they think it deserves it
