Why should you buy an iPhone
If you don't have any idea about iPhones, then you probably are a barbarian. However, iPhones are a series of sweet little premium phones manufactured by Apple.
- Camera
Apple’s iconic iPhone, in particular, is renowned for the quality of its camera for shooting both video and still images. iPhone delivers the best camera experience on a smartphone. And the camera just keeps getting better. Apple’s iPhone boasts some of the best camera hardware of any mobile device on the market. And I totally agree with that. If not the photography, videography is the best for any smartphone. They don’t go with crazy megapixels on their sensor, they just go with sleek and stabilized cameras. And the photos and videos captured always turn out surprisingly good.
2. Smooth Experience/Fluidness
Apple worked hard on iOS to give the user a pleasant experience and focused more on it than Google does. One primary reason is that while multi-tasking, iOS puts all the apps in a suspended mode, unlike Android which gives actual multitasking. In other words, the iPhone gives preference to the currently used app than the background apps, whereas Android doesn’t. No matter what preference is given to current or background apps, background running apps eats CPU and system resources continuously. So, iPhone’s CPU focuses more on the hand task only allowing more fluid navigation, thereby smooth function and transitions.
Every iPhone has an Apple‑designed chip built for performance — in fact, the latest iPhone models have the fastest chip ever in a smartphone. Because these chips are so efficient, iPhone delivers incredible battery life. It also learns from your daily charging routine to reduce battery aging. Combine all that with the latest iOS updates offering smart new features, and everything you do on the iPhone feels fast and fluid.
Apple makes both hardware and software. So, iPhone’s every nook and corner of the hardware part is known to apple in great detail. This knowledge helps to build a powerful OS and with optimization of software to match with the hardware, and vice versa. This makes both hardware and software tightly integrated end to end, whereas Android devices are made by a bunch of companies, using a common platform, i.e., Android, made by Google. Now, each company is building its own version of Android to create a more customized and simpler UI, but again they have their limits. So, the mismatch always exists between software and the actual device in android phones.
3. Security
In some circles, Apple’s iOS operating system has long been considered the more secure of the two operating systems. Why? Apple’s operating system is a closed system. Apple doesn’t release its source code to app developers, and the owners of iPhones and iPads can’t modify the code on their phones themselves. This makes it more difficult for hackers to find vulnerabilities on iOS-powered devices.
Unlike many other phones, important data on your iPhone is encrypted from the start, then protected by your passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Apple apps like Maps and Safari help keep private all the places you go and sites you visit. Apple will not sell your information to anyone for any reason. And easy-to-install software updates help protect your device and your data from security threats.
Android devices are the opposite, relying on open-source code, meaning that the owners of these devices can tinker with their phones and tablet’s operating systems. Too much tinkering and owners might create a weakness in their devices’ security. Then there are manufacturers themselves. If a phone maker puts out a new device with a modification to the Android operating system and there’s a vulnerability in that code, hackers will find it.
Android is more often targeted by hackers, too, because of the operating system powers so many mobile devices today. The global popularity of the Android operating system makes it a more attractive target for cybercriminals. Android devices, then, are more at risk of the malware and viruses that these criminals unleash.
4. The Apple Ecosystem
I can not overstate the benefits of the Apple ecosystem. When you enter a contact on your phone it is automatically on your iPad and your MacBook and your iMac. When you enter a new calendar event on your iMac, it is automatically on your iPhone and your iPad and your MacBook Pro and the event reminder comes up on your Apple Watch. It is seamless and it just works. If you get a Windows laptop and an Android phone you can get some synchronization with Google Calendar, but it won’t be anything close to seamless.
Software such as iCloud, airplay, airdrop, and continuity allows us to start a task on one device and continue it on another. For example, you start a Pages document on your Mac but you need to leave the house, you continue it on your iPhone thanks to iCloud files and multi-platform applications. Or you start texting on your phone but your listening to music on your HomePod, you know the notification is there but you do not want to reach for your phone. What do you do? You ask Siri to read your notifications via HomePod.
5. Updates Frequently
iOS software updates are instantly available to all its users, regularly and consistently, which enables all iPhones to get the latest features and security updates. When you use an Android phone, you won’t get the updated OS until you buy a new phone. Nowadays Android smartphone makers are trying to release updates for its users, but they are either not consistent or not for a long time.
6. Built-in Apps
Airdrop
Using Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy to broadcast, discover, and negotiate connections, and point-to-point Wi-Fi to transfer information AirDrop is fast, power-efficient, and secure. When you’re using it between iPhones and iPads, you can AirDrop photos, videos, contacts, Passbook passes, Voice Memos, Map location, and any and everything else that appears on a Share sheet.
Facetime
FaceTime is Apple’s video and audio calling service. Think of it as a phone that uses your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection instead of traditional phone lines. You can use it from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac, to call anyone else using any one of those devices.
Placing FaceTime video or audio calls is ridiculously easy to do. There’s a built-in FaceTime app on every iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, and FaceTime is also integrated into the Phone app on iPhone on iOS and macOS, you can make group FaceTime calls very similar to Google Hangouts.
iMessage
iMessage is Apple’s own instant messaging service that sends messages over the Internet, using your data.
7. Lifesaving Features
There are several small features that are very satisfying to use as this one -
Let’s say that you are reading an article and have scrolled down to the bottom and now you want to go to the top. It is so annoying to scroll all the way back to the top like a loser, right but apple has got your back. Tap the time icon on the top and see the magic. You are redirected to the top. How cool was that? Just like this, there are a lot of them. I am gonna make a special video for all of the tips and tricks.
