Is the iPhone going to need to find a new edge over Android soon? Apple keeps missing smartphone trends, and now this...
, which usually come with some ridiculous specs. That non-threatening, mainstream iPhone just kept crushing the Android competition by outperforming it, with much less RAM, less extravagant specs in general, and some Apple silicon.
Apple is missing out on other smartphone trends too, seemingly not in a hurry to compete with Samsung and co. Not to mention slightly more"power user" features like split-screen multitasking, which is my favorite thing about Android, still being absent on iPhones… Not because Apple can't do it, but because it doesn't want to do it.
Unlike a scary number of Android phone makers, Apple has been fantastic at keeping even old iPhones up to date. For example, the original 2016 iPhone SE will be getting iOS 16 later this year – that's six years of keeping it fully up to date, with major software updates, not just minor security ones! Impressive, especially since Apple hasn't even been selling that particular phone for quite a while now.
That includes relying on arsenic-free display glass for the iPhone 13 series, re-using recycled materials for its build, packaging it with less plastics and more fiber-based materials… And of course, the fact that smaller iPhone 13 boxes mean more boxes can be transported around the globe at once, reducing emissions caused by transportation. And that's actually a big one.
Also, something I'm more fond of would be Apple's"App Tracking Transparency" feature, which sure won me over, and I presume countless other users. Basically, it lets you block apps from tracking you, giving you an option to say"No, thanks", thus those apps will have to show you less relevant ads, because they'll no longer have a profile on you.
It's basically your smartphone apps floating around your real-world environment. You'll put on a pair of slightly chunkier glasses than the average pair, and through the use of retina projection or dual displays, one in each lens of the glasses, you will see digital objects over what you're seeing right now – the real world.
