Why doesn't it make sense to buy an expensive smartphone if it's not an iPhone? Why is the iPhone better than other smartphones? iPhone doesn't age like other smartphones

10 most productive smartphones according to the AnTuTu benchmark

Top-of-the-line iPhones outperform the flagships on Android both in the speed of complex tasks and in synthetic tests. For example, with the latest A11 chip, Bionic transcodes a 2-minute 4K video to Adobe Clips in 42 seconds, from Google it takes almost 3 minutes, and Samsung Galaxy S8 over 4 minutes. In the most popular benchmarking applications Geekbench and AnTuTu, the new iPhones also take the first places by a wide margin.

2. iPhones have better cameras






The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2/2 XL have some of the best cameras among Android smartphones. The first one does an excellent job with subject photography, while the other two are able to surprise with night shots and photos in HDR mode. However, in the test, which also includes simple scenes with natural light and portrait mode, the iPhone 8 Plus still wins. In most cases, it will allow you to get much better and more pleasing to the eye pictures.

3. Best software and hardware integration

Every technical innovation in the iPhone integrates with a host of iOS software features. This provides additional options and simply provides a new experience for using the device.

An example is the technology by which pressing the icon harder allows you to open a small menu and go directly to certain application functions. Another example is the unique portrait mode with studio light on the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It is provided by an additional camera and proprietary photo processing algorithms.

Also, one cannot fail to note the technology for recognizing the user by face. It is powered by a suite of TrueDepth sensors and artificial intelligence. It is the latter that makes it possible to recognize the owner even in a headdress or with a beard. All these features are laid down at the level of the system itself, while Android device manufacturers are limited to their own shell. To make these features available to everyone, Google itself must take care of them.

4. iPhone remains the easiest smartphone to use

Despite all the promises of Android smartphone manufacturers to optimize theirs and make them lighter, iOS on the iPhone remains the simplest and most intuitive system. You can blame her for the lack of external changes, but for many, keeping the design, on the contrary, is a plus. Apple has been improving iOS from year to year, while maintaining its simplicity and recognizable appearance. By switching your iPhone 6 to iPhone 8, you don't have to re-learn the interface and look for familiar functions. In addition, there is a convenient function of transferring all the necessary data.

5. Operational and large-scale iPhone updates


Distribution chart of fresh iOS 11, according to Mixpanel

An indisputable advantage of the iPhone is the system updates that arrive on almost the same day for all compatible models. For example, according to analyst firm Mixpanel, more than 70% of all iPhones are already installed with iOS 11. The latest statistics on the distribution of Android versions cannot be compared to any comparison. Fresh Oreo is currently installed on only 0.5% of devices, and last year's Android 7 Nougat has not even crossed the 25% mark.

6. The best apps come to iOS first

Many games and applications to this day are initially released on iOS, and after some time they appear on Google Play. Examples include both, and, and Snapchat. Even Instagram on Android only became available two years after it debuted on the App Store. It is much more profitable for developers to create applications for iOS, since, according to statistics, in the United States alone, the average user spent $ 47 on applications in the App Store per year. For Android and Google Play, this figure is $ 30.

7. Lack of pre-installed "garbage"

With full control over iPhone software, Apple completely eliminates the possibility of third-party preinstalled apps. This applies to both operator services and partner software, which can be found on many Android smartphones. These can be translators, additional browsers, unknown file managers, office utilities or games. Often, unnecessary applications cannot even be deleted from memory.

8. Additional features when working with Mac

With the new Continuity feature, call and message notifications on iPhone can be received directly from your MacBook. Alternatively, you can start writing an email or editing a document on your iPhone and continue on your Mac. There is even a universal one that allows you to copy text on a smartphone and paste it into a document on a macOS device.

9. Best service and support

When you have any problems with your Android smartphone, you can try to find a solution in numerous online forums or go to the store where the smartphone was purchased. The seller, depending on the problem, can send to the service center. There, the apparatus is usually delayed for more than one week, until the turn comes to it.

For the iPhone, you have an extensive database of helpful help articles on Apple's website, as well as the ability to have a live chat with a customer service representative. If the problem is not solved remotely, you can go to an authorized service center.

(Section - For Beginners) Advantages and Disadvantages of Iphone!

Greetings, dear blog visitors. Dmitry Smirnov, as always, is in touch with you, and in this article I want to tell you about the advantages of the iPhone and the disadvantages of the iPhone. This is the best information for those who are thinking of buying an iPhone or not! I myself use iphone 6s plus, so I decided to post this article again.

Pros and cons of the iPhone

Steve Jobs took advantage of the unique situation in the market - he did not sell a product, he created a need, which he solved with the help of his product. That is why Apple products have been one of the most demanded in the world for a long time.

With all due respect to the iPad and iPod, it is the telephone version of the American product that brings the most money to the company, using all the advantages of the iPhone with a bang. This is not surprising, since smartphones today can replace many gadgets, including a portable music player and a tablet computer. And this is not even remembering such applications as a photo and video camera, all kinds of time manipulations (clock, timer, alarm clock, stopwatch), various games and all kinds of widgets.

If we briefly share all the advantages and disadvantages of the mobile version of the American manufacturer, then we can make two lists.

Disadvantages of the iPhone:

  • high price of the device, taking into account the availability on the market of analogues in terms of technical characteristics with a cheaper price tag;
  • lack of free applications;
  • weak battery;
  • lack of a second SIM card and slots for memory expansion;
  • gradual improvement of models;
  • uniqueness of the connection.

  • uniqueness of the software;
  • build quality of the phone;
  • the individuality of each device;
  • display quality;
  • compliance with the declared parameters.

As with two pieces of news - good news and bad news - let's start with the bad news, leaving the tastiest for dessert.

Flaws

In a world of intense and saturated advertising, Apple cannot entice a customer with a price tag. And this is not only because of the philosophy, which is based initially on quality, and only then on cost. After all, it is impossible to focus on the number of banknotes, which is twice as much as for a similar (in terms of technical equipment) device of competitors. Moreover, it is almost impossible to lure a new user at a price - a simple and effective argument like “I'd better take two phones for myself for the same money” will play a much greater role than “some” quality in the eyes of an inexperienced user.

A breakthrough in terms of commercial sales of copyright content was Steve Jobs' idea of ​​offering songs for 99 cents. This is not so much in the case of small purchases, because “buy for a penny and don’t worry” proved to be very effective in reality. This became the basis of paid content for iOS users. Of course, the phone immediately has an Internet browser or YouTube channel, but for those who like new things, this is a significant obstacle.

Active users of iPhones rarely go without a charger, because Apple always values ​​the thickness of the device more than its endurance. But after all, 1-2mm thickness is not so significant than a few hours of gadget performance. And at the same time, the weight should not particularly load the back. But ergonomics is a controversial concept.

Variability. More precisely, its absence worries many, because plans tend to change. Someone needed 16 GB of memory, but when traveling or on a business trip, it is convenient for him to take pictures from the phone, and the Internet is far from everywhere. Or new acquaintances hint at the connection of another telecom operator, and it is not very convenient to carry a second phone. The company has bitten off a rather impressive piece of the market itself.

Competently created euphoria from the purchase of a new phone model plays an important role for the company. The regularity of the release of the latest version allows you to get enough of the functionality of the purchased gadget and whet your appetite for new items. But there are no significant changes - they increased the amount of memory or megapixels, added some novelty and that's it. But sales climb to the peaks every time - great, but definitely not for people.

The campaign to standardize and create universal assistive devices has not touched the American manufacturer. Chargers, PC connection cables, and in the early stages, the size of SIM cards - all this plays against the user who is outside his home and outside the environment of technical associates.

Advantages

But each obverse has its own reverse, or each disadvantage is covered by the advantage of the iPhone. Thus, the absence of free applications, together with the limited functionality, practically excludes the ingress of malicious programs. Here the comparison with mousetrap cheese comes in handy. There is no need to even talk about the "smoothness" and stability of the system - there are no freezes or failures a priori, largely due to the "closed" software.

Another important advantage of the device is its build quality. Even during the constant race to reduce the thickness of the device and increase its screen, it is Apple products that are least criticized on the basis of assembly. No, this does not mean that the phone can be safely thrown on the asphalt or hammered in nails (there are other devices for this), but it will not be possible to detect any creaks or cracks - this is a fact.

Appealing to the foes of the iPhone is really tricky when it comes to uniqueness. Moreover, this is not just an individual Internet browser or some kind of publicly available capabilities, this is the most that neither is there protection. If a modern device is lost, the owner has the opportunity to find the device even without a SIM card, since each device has a unique number, and the ability to track it from a satellite. And alteration in such cases is a delicate matter, therefore you can weed out a considerable number of "ill-wishers".

It is not at all necessary to constantly manually adjust the brightness of the display in different lighting conditions if you own an iPhone. In addition, the sensitivity and clarity of the display is amazing - even when typing relatively long text quickly, the number of errors is incomparably less with other smartphones and QWERTY keyboards. Sometimes you get the feeling that the phone itself guesses what it wanted to write.

Even with modern standardization and independent certification, the same parameters are perceived differently on different devices. For example, the quality of photos of a 5-megapixel camera of an iPhone and another device is perceived differently not only on the screen of a smartphone itself, but also on a computer, and clearly not in favor of cheaper devices. And even if it is Apple that "exceeds GOST", then this is definitely a nice bonus.

Summing up, it should be noted that the “target audience” of using Apple products is growing steadily. Users pay more and more attention to stability and safety, realizing the real cost of quality. The benefits of the iPhone regularly tip the scales in their favor. Now you know everything about the advantages of the iPhone and all about the disadvantages of the iPhone. And by the way, in the last article I wrote about.

There is a vast experience of working with alternative smartphones based on Android, including top-end gadgets. I tried to change the platform, but it’s not right. In the end, only the new iPhone remained better than the iPhone.

Aren't you a stoned Yablofan, Roma?

Quite a reasonable statement: that I write huge articles on the experience of using Apple devices and actually use all of its gadgets in my daily life - and work.

What I bought and use now from Apple technology:

  • iPhone 6s Plus 128 GB
  • Apple Watch with Sport Band
  • iPad Pro 12.9 ″ with Smart Keyboard (this is what the article is currently running on)
  • MacBook 12, my main work machine (yeah!)
  • Second generation iPad Mini used by wife and kids.

Before that there were all iPhone models, almost all iPad models, and about five different MacBooks. In general, I have been friends with Apple technology since 2007, that is, since the release of the very first iPhone. It was after meeting him that I caught fire to transfer all my work to Mac, which I did in 2008.

I've always been gadget lover, which, in principle, is interested in all portable consumer technology, including alternative platforms. There are many varied experiences, and I always wanted to try something else.

For example, I started my close acquaintance with Android back in 2010:

And it was not just an acquaintance, I seriously tried to use Samsung Galaxy S as your main smartphone. Still, a larger display, high resolution, AMOLED.

But I had enough for two weeks, then the device went into the category of backup smartphones for a second SIM card and web surfing on the road, and then the iPhone 4 with a Retina display happened, eclipsing all the advantages of Galaxy S. After dusting on the shelf for several weeks, the device was sold.

It would seem that happiness has come. Tried technically progressive Galaxy S II with a gorgeous AMOLED Plus screen, and finally got the Galaxy Note I:

The scenario is already familiar - the delight of a gorgeous piece of hardware, a huge display, versatility, and then a return to the iPhone.

When I purchased the following Android gadgets, I deliberately took them as additional devices. Thus, the following models remained in the personal collection for a long time:

The soul was calm, the alternative pleased exactly as an addition to iOS, but until the moment when the boom of smartwatches began. The emergence among personal gadgets of the best representative of the newborn platform of wearable gadgets Moto 360 pushed me to the largest transition from iOS to Android in all the time of personal experimentation.

For a month, the iPhone just lay on the shelf, and took its place One plus one in conjunction with Moto 360:

Got a smartphone three months later Nexus 6, which still works properly and is actively used. He tried to take the place of the iPhone, but ended up returning to supporting roles anyway.

I've been working with Android almost since the platform's formation. And it's not just that I work, but I use its capabilities to the maximum, right up to the installation of alternative firmware and the formation of an impressive set of software that very successfully replaces analogues on iOS.

However, I always go back to the iPhone.

Why is the iPhone

At different times there were different reasons for trying to leave iOS for alternative platforms and different reasons for returning, although a number of them are still relevant. Accordingly, it makes sense to consider these points in stages. After all, what can we be honest about, the modern Android platform is indeed a full-fledged alternative to iOS, which in some places surpasses it, in some places is inferior, but there is no big gap between competitors. Well, let's start with ...

... Affairs of days gone by

My first experience with Android was 50% dictated by the desire to get acquainted with an alternative platform as part of my personal development as a browser. Of course, in those days the site was different and practically did not write about alternatives, but even then they were of interest to readers, and I began to slowly reveal the topic. The remaining 50% of interest in the alternative is a more perfect filling than in the iPhone, and a larger display.

In the case of the next three Android-based gadgets (Galax S II, Galax Note and Galax Note II), for the most part, it was the devices themselves, and not the software, that pushed me to experiment. That is, their hardware filling. In tablet phones, I also liked the format, when one device replaces both a tablet and a smartphone on the road. Android itself was not particularly exciting back then.

Yes, "Robot" successfully competed with iOS, but there were good reasons to go back to iPhone:

  • > UI lags on Android up to Lollipop were very noticeable and annoying.
  • The standard Android interface itself was much inferior in quality and animation to that of iOS until the release of Lollipop.

I tried different "whistles and fakes" in the form of total interface customization using alternative launchers, firmware and gadget rooting with ZIP packets, but none of these experiments allowed getting close to the convenience and simplicity of the basic iOS interface.

You return after all these adventures on your iPhone, as if you came home, put on warm slippers, wrapped yourself in a blanket and sat in an armchair by the fireplace with your favorite book in your hands and a glass of warm mulled wine nearby. It is so cozy and good there, everything is at hand, everything is done quickly, conveniently and predictably.

  • Poor alternatives to used third-party software on iOS

I waited for a good Twee client for a very long time, until Robird appeared, and then Fenix; a decent Markdown editor for Android came out quite recently in the face of iA Writer 3; MoneyWiz also appeared far from immediately, and the second version was delayed for six months after the iOS version).

  • Dancing with firmware in an attempt to get the desired interface quality led to unstable smartphone operation.

Could be left without communication at the right time. Even the stability of stock firmware, especially on new gadgets, left much to be desired. Spontaneous reboots, freezes - all this is a normal practice for Android gadgets of the past years, and today too, especially if we are not talking about the most branded devices.

An urgent need to call, but the smartphone "hangs" and it infuriates. This has never happened with the iPhone. Even in times of jailbreak and the installation of various modifications from Cydia.

  • Lack of a normal backup system on Android, which was almost originally in iOS. By the way, the brainchild of Google still does not have such a high-quality system for backing up and restoring personal data.

Note, I'm not talking about the ecosystem yet. At that time, she was not yet so critical for me. And Apple was not actively developing it. Notes, contacts, favorites in the browser - it is convenient that all this is the same on Mac, iPad and iPhone, but it was not difficult to achieve the same on Android. Perhaps it lacked a handy notepad, but also did not say that Apple Notes were perfect. The program is easy, working, convenient - yes, but no more. A simple note-book, you can't compare with the version in iOS 9.

Modern realities

Today the situation is somewhat different. As much as I am a fan of iOS, I have to admit that Android has matured to the Marshmallow version, third-party software has pulled up, and the extravaganza of devices for every taste, color and wallet will impress anyone. Through the efforts of Chinese companies, for $ 200-250, you can purchase a very functional and high-quality gadget for all occasions.

Moreover, the coolest Android flagships, like the Galaxy S7 Edge, even in design, often look more interesting than the latest iPhone models. The aforementioned device is more compact with a similar display diagonal, it has the best screen on the market, it is smart and comparable in terms of autonomy.

And I myself own a very serious smartphone in the face of the Nexus 6, a big plus of which is the always up-to-date version of Android. Nevertheless, the iPhone remains the main smartphone. In this case, it's Phone 6s Plus and here's why:

Immediate reaction of the iOS interface, though adjusted for the use of the flagship smartphone. It can be foaming at the mouth to prove that Android no longer slows down, and if you compare it with 4.x, then lags are really almost imperceptible. But I only use both the Nexus 6 and the iPhone 6s Plus on a daily basis. The first has lags, the second does not. A simple example is following a link to Facebook from a Twitter client.

On the iPhone, this happens instantly, on Android - a second pause, which can stretch for two or three. There is no twitching of the system interface, but such strange lags are found here and there. I also heard about lags from the owners of the Galaxy S7, however, they say this was corrected in the latest firmware.

Safari and even Chrome on iOS perform much better than Chrome on Android... Open a "heavy" page (for example, The Verge, Russian LifeHacker) and compare the performance of browsers on two top smartphones. In the first case, everything flies, in the second, it seems to fly, and then bam, you crawl across the screen with your finger, and scrolling starts with a noticeable delay.

I noticed such a joke not only on the venerable, albeit powerful Nexus 6, but also on the vaunted Galaxy S7 Edge too. I specially checked this moment when the pipe fell into my hands.

Use of Touch ID everywhere in the iPhone. Not only is the fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 6s Plus the best on the market, but also almost any third-party software supports it: 1Password, MoneyWiz 2, Privat24 (even payment transactions in the Internet bank are confirmed by a fingerprint), WebMoney, Evernote, etc. Yes, Android has added support for the fingerprint sensor, but third-party developers are in no hurry to implement it in their software.

3D Touch not everyone is understood and used, but for me this is a huge plus for iOS and the company's latest smartphones. I constantly use this feature to quickly switch between applications, while typing and when calling my favorite contacts. Sometimes - for previews of photos, letters or web pages.

What's more, 3D Touch is already used in most of the popular third-party apps I use every day, including Tweetbot 4 and Spark.

The iOS on-screen keyboard is still the best... Yes, the proprietary Google keyboard has become prettier, but it is still inferior in usability and quality of work to that in iOS.

At least in landscape orientation, I can comfortably type large texts on the iPhone 6s Plus keyboard - whole articles, plus there are undo / redo and hotkeys for copy / paste.

In the Google keyboard, the only big plus I can write down is support for continuous input of the SWYPE type. The touch pad for cursor control built into the space bar is also good, but it didn't lie next to 3D Touch.

Highlighting text on iOS is more intuitive and convenient... On iOS, double tap on a word and you highlighted it, like in OS X or Windows. In Android, you have to tap on a word and hold your finger. In Android 6, the copy / paste dialog appears next to it, like in iOS, but it lags.

Yes, the interface of this dialog box is slow. It does not appear immediately, it does not react quickly. In previous versions of Android, it generally appeared at the top of the screen, which is completely unintuitive, although it is more convenient for someone.

Notification badges on icons(red circles with a number). Yes, I really miss them on Android, although the notification system in Marshmallow is already great and it's almost impossible to miss an important event.

Phone and Messages applications". They were as sad on Android as they were. Well, I can't understand the logic of the interface of these programs and they look scary. Again, tastefulness and I know people who are sick of the iOS phone interface, but for me personally, it is native, tube, the best.

The interface of applications for iOS is generally better than its counterparts on Android.... And the interface of the operating system itself still works more pleasantly - the same inertial scrolling, which is absent in Android (instead, some shadows pop up, but the effect is not the same).

In terms of apps, take Instagram, MyFitnessPal, Evernote, Cupibaton, iA Writer - there are a lot of examples. It happens that the interfaces are similar, but the quality of work is not the same. It happens that they differ in the case of Android - for the worse.

Ecosystem... Yes, without this reason in any way. Still, when using iPhone, Mac and iPad, it is very convenient when all the basic data is always synchronized with each other, be it contacts, notes, bookmarks in the browser.

In my work, it helps me incredibly to be able to open a tab or several on one device, see all of them and, if necessary, close them on another device. Chrome has similar features, but excludes remote tab control. The updated "Notes" with support for styles of text, lists, pictures, folders, I more and more replace Evernote and they just work - smart, efficient, instantly launched, instantly synchronized.

Answering a call from iPad remotely - no problem. In the case of Android, you have to run after your phone.

Messages, including regular SMS - similarly - it is convenient that they are available on all gadgets at once. There are also difficulties - AirDrop is buggy and does not see other devices, sometimes "Reminders" are not instantly synchronized, but the problems can be solved.

Again, in my day-to-day use, the Apple ecosystem helps me a lot in my life and work. She literally holds in her tenacious paws. I also got hooked on Apple Music.

Apple Watch- this is the best smartwatch, both in terms of design and functionality, IMHO. I used Pebble, Android Wear devices, but Apple's product is more convenient on all fronts, from the interface to the banal trick to answer a call from the watch.

Not everything is perfect, there are also interface brakes, third-party applications leave much to be desired, but in simple everyday use, the Apple Watch is much more convenient for me than any alternatives. Including activity trackers.

In principle, there are enough Apple branded applications in smart watches and they all work perfectly. Timer, alarm clock, "Training", "Weather", plus functional dials, no complaints about the operation of the notification system, an excellent voice recognition system, if you need to answer an SMS or another messenger.

Games... Now I don't play very often, but even the vaunted Galaxy S7 in terms of GPU lags behind the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus - if we compare the hardware. At the software level, iOS also provides more advantages, starting with Metal and ending with the fact that this platform simply brings more money to developers. Therefore, games are primarily sharpened for it. And it's easier, there are fewer devices.

From the latest examples of cool games I can cite (with 3D Touch it is much more fun to play, the graphics are fire), Bejeweled Stars (not on Android yet). Of course, in terms of assortment, the platforms are close, but in terms of hardware and the priority of the release of iOS games ahead. This is when we talk about smartphones.

For tablets, Apple is tearing a competitor to shreds and there are basically no game alternatives to the iPad. Until now, the old iPad mini makes children and wife happy, pulling out the latest toys, including Defenders 2, for example, without any problems.

Yes, any longtime Android user will give me 100,500 counterarguments, and that's okay. After all, everyone has their own requirements for a smartphone, their own operating schemes, their own preferences. It is more interesting to hear the opinions of those who use both platforms at the same time.

I am sure the reaction will no longer be so unambiguous like: “ Yablofan author, go kill yourself against the wall!". Android has its own advantages, too. They are clearly worth mentioning.

I'll put in a word for "Robot"

Open file system still comfortable. Save a torrent, download an MP3 track, transfer a file via Bluetooth, connect an external drive via USB and drive files back and forth - all this is easy and available only on Android smartphones and in some situations it is necessary and important.

Although this is not my case, and over the years this was rarely required, but I can understand those people who praise the platform precisely for these capabilities.

The second important point is Google Now, as well as advanced features like Now on Tap, when you can scan the screen and get thematic tips. Yes, I'm not a particularly active user of these things, but they are really cool and so far they are tearing Siri into tatters with its attempts in the field of artificial intelligence.

Many acquaintances use them on an ongoing basis and cannot imagine life without these services. I also understand them perfectly.

A normally working DropBox, which is a continuation of the history of the open file system. I can safely save 25 screenshots in the folder I need in the DropBox using my Nexus, but on the iPhone, if AirDrop suddenly turns off (usually solved by turning off / on Wi-Fi on the laptop), I can only save screenshots one at a time in the root folder of the DropBox , either you have to send them to yourself by mail, or connect the cord, if there are 50 such screenshots or more.

Live wallpaper... What is in iOS is a surrogate. On Android, live wallpapers are really LIVE. There are just brilliant examples, like Minima Pro, « Floating islands», Dream Nigtn Pro, Galaxy Pack and others.

Timely alarm clock... The best alarm clock among all platforms that I have come across. Very beautiful, contains wonderful melodies, works great. I still haven't found an analogue on iOS. So I sleep with the Nexus 6.

As you can see, it's not all bad. And for me there are pluses in the alternative platform, and the further, the closer iOS and Android become, adopting the best chips from each other.

P.S .: could I still give up the iPhone in the future?

Even today, crazy thoughts arise. At the time of release, I was very attracted by the Galaxy S7 Edge, but now my thoughts are haunted by the Galaxy Note 6 looming on the horizon. Yes, they attract me more with their hardware than the platform, especially the AMOLED display. I hope that this will appear in the iPhone soon.

No matter how Russians scold the bourgeois iPhone, this gadget still continues to be popular both in our country and around the world. Despite the high cost in our understanding, the iPhone is striving to acquire not only wealthy segments of the population, but sometimes those who can barely make ends meet. Although everyone knows that today's smartphone market boasts functional devices at a more or less decent price. So why is the iPhone so popular? Go figure it out!

For those in the tank!

iPhone is a series of smartphones manufactured by Apple. These guys are also known for their iPads, iPods, MacBooks, and other good-priced tech. The company was founded by the now deceased Steve Jobs, who made a significant contribution to the IT industry.

The iPhone is powered by its own iOS operating system. The smartphone was first announced in early 2007. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year. So in September 2016, the latest version was released - along with more expensive brothers iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro.

By the way, the prefix "i" in the names of Apple products, according to Jobs himself, primarily means Internet.

Well, now let's figure out why everyone loved this iPhone so much.

Screen

Really striking in its quality. It has the highest pixel density - impossible to see with the naked eye. The picture is so clear that you just want to swap desktops aimlessly. This procedure is also enjoyable because the iPhone has a better tap response. It is really more convenient to work with it, you directly feel that you are using something high-tech, and not a Chinese toy. Thanks to the high refresh rate of the screen, we see smooth and neat animations, which also gives a certain charm.

Appearance

Let's face it, the iPhone is recognizable. It has its own "corporate identity" that sets it apart from other impersonal smartphones. Someone might say that Apple does not give users the right to choose, but for that matter, nothing prevents you from personalizing your gadget by purchasing an inexpensive case. Yes, some iPhone models look awkward due to the increased size, but such are the trends, because it is easier to work with a large screen.

Usability

We've already talked about the perfect responsiveness of the Apple smartphone. These guys decided to take care of the users by developing simple interface that will be clear to everyone. Therefore, representatives of the older generation will, if possible, prefer the iPhone, because you can figure it out in a few minutes.

AppStore

Apple's own app store although not everyone is satisfied with the prices, it has strict moderation: all dubious and low-quality programs are eliminated. If you buy something in the AppStore, you can be sure that you will get exactly what was said in the description. All games are made with high quality and work stably. Plus, you don't have to worry that your device won't pull some cool toy. Although if you are the owner of the first iPhone, then you will not be given guarantees in this regard.

Accessories

There are a lot of different devices and gadgets for iPhone. Are they needed? Yes and no. Apple has such a policy: they seem to say that they are not forcing anyone, but in the end you understand that you will have to buy something in addition. And you end up spending it like another iPhone. But still, all accessories are distinguished by their reliability and quality.

iOS

The proprietary operating system was developed specifically for the iPhone. Full compatibility with the device eliminates freezes, crashes, errors and application failure. The probability that iOS will crash is 0, unless there will be any mechanical damage that will disrupt the operation of the system. In addition, unlike the universal Android, the iOS update is installed on all devices, so then the owners of old iPhones can be boiled over, which is provided by software.

Safety

Apple values ​​its users. There was a story some time ago when the American special services demanded that they get the data from an iPhone of one alleged terrorist. The case even went to court, because Apple did not make any concessions.

The iPhone is not afraid of viruses and jailbreaks. Although it is loudly said about hacking, this smartphone is not up to every hacker. I remember that Apple paid good money to the first hacker to crack the new iOS in order to safely cover this loophole.

Reliability

Buying an iPhone, you can be sure that you will go through more than one year with it. It is practically not susceptible to system failures, and the build quality minimizes the appearance of backlash, squeaks, and in general, the metal case of the iPhone retains its original appearance for a long time.

A little about the latest model

We will not do a detailed review, because we don’t need it - we will just go through the main points.

The group Brigade in a row has a song where the following lines are found: "There is a phone in the toilet bowl - the 7th iPhone!"
