Points to watch out for on the iPhone
If you are very attached to Android or have been using the operating system for a long time, there are some points in relation to the iPhone that can cause some strangeness.
To help you ponder this, too, the Showmetech listed below the main points for you to stay tuned on the Apple smartphone.
Home screen somewhat plastered but for a short time
One of the main complaints of Android users who migrate to the iPhone (or try the smartphone for a while) in relation to the home screen, whose model and structure is somewhat plastered compared to Android.
that in iPhone the icons for all the apps you install go to your home screen.
You can only organize them on screens and folders, which is bad for anyone who is used to the flexibility of organization and customization that Android offers.
Another scolding from Android users regarding widgets, which is not iPhone are squeezed into a screen part of the initial, while on Android they work in an integrated way the home screen.
iOS 14 will bring library of apps and widgets on the home screen
Only these two things are about to change in the iOS 14.
That's because the new operating system for iPhones will bring a library of applications and widgets can be added to the home screen.
It took a while, but Apple listened to users' complaints and implemented these improvements on iOS, following a logic almost identical to Android.
Prioritizes factory applications but news is coming
At the iPhoneIt is difficult to escape the applications that are already installed at the factory.
As much as you install, for example, third-party browsers and emails (such as Google Chrome and Gmail), the operating system always prioritizes Apple applications.
For example, when you click on a link, the iPhone will open it (or suggest opening it) in Safari, instead of the other browser you have installed.
If someone sends you an address, your smartphone will open it in Maps instead of Google Maps.
And so on.
Only that is about to change.
On iOS 14, it will be possible to place applications developed by third parties as standard on the smartphone.
The change will give the user more freedom to configure their preferences on the device.
Doesnât have âAlways on Displayâ
As much as the iPhone has an OLED screen, the device does not take advantage of one of the main advantages of this technology: the âAlways on Displayâ (or âSemper Mostraâ, in free translation). that black screen on Samsung and Motorola smartphones, for example, that shows time, date and a preview of notifications.
Despite the OLED screen, iPhone does not have âAlways on Displayâ
This feature is useful on an OLED screen because it saves a lot of battery power, since the black pixels do not consume energy.
In case of iPhone, the device even has the sensitivity to identify your gesture of taking the device out of your pocket or a table and turning on the screen, which lights up the entire screen, which consumes more battery.
