10th Anniversary Of The iPhone: The Reasons To Turn The Back To Apple In Favor Of Android

Is it just a lassitude about the iOS and the iPhone, or is it because I start sighing after the flexibility and advanced features of the latest Samsung and HTC notebooks? I am not sure. What I'm sure is that the tenth anniversary of the iPhone could be an opportunity for me to say goodbye to the Apple world, and not to sign for another ten years.

I'm not the only one: many iPhone owners have expressed some frustration about the future of the brand beyond the iPhone 6S, along with more general concerns about Apple products .

I still remember the day when the original iPhone came out. At the office, excitement reigned and at the time, no one knew that smartphones would change as they did, or that the iPhone would become the thrilling success it has been since. Like many others, I think this is due to the usual noise surrounding the Apple outputs - something that existed before the iPhone and which, of course, still exists today. Although I hate this trend of Apple fans, I can not deny that from 3GS, I was also a big fan.

Before that, I used the Nokia Sat Nav models then, after a while, I switched to the abjection that was Windows Mobile on a gargantuan HTC tyTN II. It took me a while before joining the iPhone club: I had a hard time believing that a smartphone running mainly by its touchscreen would not put me off.

The following is history with a big H now, and most of us consider any smartphone featuring more than one or two navigation buttons with some suspicion, so great is Apple's success . The modern Android OS is, in terms of appearance and feel, undoubtedly linked to the iOS but in the way of a derivative product, such as the numerous lawsuits between Apple and other brands of smartphone in attest.

I'm still not the classic iPhone user. I have practiced insatiably the jailbreaking of iOS (using a tool allowing applications other than those of Apple and the fignolages of OS to be installed, greatly improving, in my opinion, the experience iOS) , Because it seemed to me that many characteristics were missing.

The control center is one - a feature introduced recently in the history of the iPhone, but that already existed in the world of jailbreaking as well as Android, for a duration almost equal to the existence of the " iPhone. Only with the iOS 11 will we be able to customize the control center, whereas unbridled versions could do this from the beginning.

There are many other characteristics that Apple has copied from the jailbreaking scene, but for one reason or another, although aware of the existence of these characteristics, and knowing that they are elements which, Evidence should be implemented in the standard iOS, Apple has nonetheless been incredibly slow to get to the page on this.

The same was true of many material characteristics. Apple continues to offer an excellent camera and video quality, but even features such as 4K video were available on other devices long before they appeared on the iPhone. I'm also a big fan of wireless recharging, and I just opted for a wireless charging case for my iPhone 6: I use it every day, at my office, in my car, and absolutely adore it.

The fact that it is only now, with the imminent arrival of the iPhone 8, that we finally hear about a wireless recharge, gives me the feeling of having been neglected by Apple, mainly because of his obsession Blind for the manufacture of ever finer phones.

My last point makes another complaint about the iPhone: it concerns the longevity of the battery. This one has constantly been below my needs, so much so that I constantly keep my iPhone 6 in its recharging shell. This is not even due to the battery age - I've already replaced it twice - since every iPhone model I've had has been unsatisfactory on this. Once again, the iPhone 8 seems to be built for a considerably larger battery, but for me it seems too little, too late, especially given the wider, faster and often replaceable batteries that are found in Other smartphones.

So, insufficient battery life, a lack of features like wireless reloading and a slow implementation of useful features are just some of the reasons that push me to Android. My interest in taking the output also stems from the fact that although I have been regularly updated by equipping myself with roughly a version on two of the iPhone, I decided not to do the same with IPhone 7: I always use 6.

The lack of headphone jack and the fact that you can not recharge the notebook while listening to music with a headset through the port lightning was a killer-love for me, as well as the unfulfilled need for Ability to use Bluetooth headphones. I've already stumbled upon Apple Airpod headphones hanging out in the train wagon: more than once I found that their battery was flat. I also do not see myself using only one of the hideous adapters.

As a result, unless we are offered some brilliant stratagem on the wireless recharging of the iPhone, and some of the shortcomings discussed above are not resolved, or that the new model expected in September offers other features Stunning, it may be that I contemplate the landscape Android this fall and so end up not to swoon me before the iPhone 8.
