Apple vs Android: The controversy between Android and iPhone friends is now increasingly common in the features Apple introduced in its latest devices.
The features were more or less inspired by Google's mobile platform, as happened for example with wireless charging with iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
Most Android fans and critics of Apple argue that the company from Cupertino is no longer innovative, and they are quite slow in adopting certain characteristics.
However, according to the head of the Apple Eddy Cue services, it takes time to develop the new features. As he explained in an interview at Livemint Apple is "incredibly innovative" and when asked if the company has slowed down the level of innovation in recent years, he gave the following answer:
"No way! First of all, the iPhone is 10 years old. The iPad came after and after this watch. So, I disagree and I think we are extremely innovative. I do not take into account the work done on Mac, iOS and MacOS, where I think we are leading the market. "
One of the most innovative features Apple has released recently is Face ID, exclusive to the iPhone X. It's a facial recognition system that uses 3D detection cameras, and Apple says there's a one in 1.000.000 chance someone could unlock your iPhone with their face.
Anyway, I think both sides are right. Google's Pixel devices, which it introduced right after the iPhone X launch, are a masterpiece of technology, with a single camera that delivers better than double the iPhones.
We are talking about a real race, which, in addition to speed, plays a role both in quality and in innovation. This year Apple has finished this race without ending since we are still waiting for the iPhone X.
But we can not say anything about the technology launched by all competitors in their market smartphones. The devices are really high end, and their features quite advanced. What's really missing is the wow that was heard when Jobs first introduced the iPhone.
When innovation left no room for doubt…
On the other hand, of course, there are the well-known copycats, who are slowly gnawing away at the dominance of the big "innovative" companies... See Xiaomi...
Why price is a factor that everyone should take seriously into consideration.
