iPhone Loyal Fan Admits Google Does Better Than Apple At Certain Things

Have you ever think about how you feel when changing your phone? It is said that leaving the iPhone to change your phone brand such to Android is kind of an interesting movement. To some people, it is like leaving for an unfamiliar place or another high school. Of course, you will feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable at first, and it may take a long time to get used to the new phone. When you are used to and in love with the new phone, you will forget the difficulties at first.

Over years of the development of the smartphone industry, it has mostly been iPhones against Android phones when it comes to choosing a phone to buy. And as we have seen, Apple has built its own reputation with the premium iPhone devices; normally, an iPhone fan cannot stand using an Android one.

However, they might change their mind if they tried to use a Google Pixel 3a XL instead of the iPhone XS Max as a BI reporter did. It came as a surprise that the reporter did not miss the iPhone as much as previously expected. It turns out that price is not the issue as Google’s phone was excellent with half the price of an iPhone. And interestingly, as iPhone fans may have forgotten, there are certain things that Google actually does better than Apple.

Multi-User support

It is considered an amazing feature for people who usually share their own phone with others such as their husband/wife and family members. This Android feature allows you to create a different profile for each additional user so that they can store their own accounts, apps, as well as data in a separate space from yours.

For example, you can completely rest your mind when your little cousin borrows your phone to play “Angry Birds”. You just need to get access to another account such as hers or a guest's one without worrying that any purchase is made or Facebook status is updated accidentally.

Time and notifications shown on the display

This is a great area in which Android devices outshines the iPhone. In fact, several offerings from Samsung and Google already show notifications, time, and date on their display even when they're off. This means users can check on their phone simply with a glance instead of having to reach the device.

The iPhone's display lights up automatically with a lift, but you still have to touch the phone.

A news feed dedicated to you

With a Pixel phone, users can gain access to the Discover page when swiping to the left of the home screen. This page is where you can find a variety of new articles and updates fitting your interest. Like me, you may also be surprised by the accuracy and detail of Google’s choices.

In the Discover page, Google provides everything the user is interested in such as news about the technology they are keen on, updates on their beloved movies and music and information about their neighborhood. Moreover, to enhance the results’ accuracy, you can let Google know the types of news you are keen on.

Do you know how Google can do that? It is because it takes advantage of the data in your Google account to contribute to providing suitable updates. Thanks to these significant things, Google’s Discovery feed deserved to be one of the favorite apps for users.

Actually, the iPhone and other Android devices users can also experience Google’s Discover through the company’s main search app. However, it is less inconvenient than putting it front and center when letting it available on the operating system on the Pixel.

There's a similar feature on the iPhone that lets users customize their own streams of widgets including calendar appointments, recommended apps, news, as well as other updates. The difference is that Google seems to display what users like seeing and Apple shows what users may need to see.

Your choice after all

It can't be denied that cloud services make it easier to transfer apps, photos, and data across operating systems. But there are lots of other factors to consider when it comes to buying a phone like budget and your favorite ecosystem of services. So, make a thorough decision!
