A few days ago, I met someone who was a fanatic of the Android system and hated the Apple system, and I kept listening to him to know exactly why Google is preferred over Apple. Indeed, he listed a list of benefits for Google. Some of them are real advantages that we talked about before here more than once, and some of them were in iOS but he did not know their existence, and finally there was a part of the advantages that shocked me and strongly to talk about it as a feature.
My aforementioned talk is not the only one as many people have preceded it about the reasons for the superiority of Android from their point of view. There are real advantages, as we explained in the introduction, such as the ease of customizing and modifying the system, the ability to modify default applications and access to any file they want in their device, and send and receive it. There are advantages I mentioned, such as that we can download files on Android, and this is not possible in iOS, which is not true, as you can download anything on the iPhone, but maybe he does not know the method. And finally, the shocking advantages section, the most prominent of which are:
Call Recording
Several times, we receive a question, either directly personally or in comments, about applications or how to record calls. And when we say that there is no and there will be no mockery of the iPhone and that there are phones that are less than 10% of its price and this feature is available. Hey! Hey! Hey !!! Recording calls is not an advantage at all, recording calls is an infringement on the privacy of others, but most countries of the world consider it a crime punishable by law. Yes, we are used to recording calls on Chinese phones, but does the error become common and true !!! It is not possible for Apple or even Google to place it as a feature in the system so that they are not placed under the penalty of law. Indeed, there are applications that I saw in Cydia in the past that give you the ability to record calls, but if you did the recording, before it starts, it will be clarified in an audio format in the call with the other that your call will now be recorded. This is because you are not entitled to register without the knowledge of others. So Apple's blocking of you from recording calls is not a blocking advantage, but rather preventing you from committing a crime, and committing crimes is not a personal freedom.
Dredging applications
Another feature that Apple allegedly sets complex restrictions that prevent you from downloading paid apps for free. Why do we change the names and say "taikarik" or "hack"? It's called "stealing." Apple makes stealing more difficult, but not impossible, and we know this. Google has it easier and there are no restrictions, so getting "stolen" apps is easier than Apple. So is facilitating theft an advantage and making it difficult for a defect?
Restrictions on published apps
This is not like the previous one, that reversing the defect is an advantage, but it is something that on the face of it is an advantage, but let's discuss it together. The developer in Google finishes the application to send it immediately and is in the store, unlike Apple, which sends it to a team that reviews the application and then agrees to publish it. On the face of it, this is ridiculous for Apple to control your application and review it as a "guardian", but let's look at Google and we will find that since 2015 it started violent campaigns on its software store and deleted millions of applications due to a defect in them, and it does not take months until we see a security company discovering malicious software spread In the Google Store, the company responds by deleting millions of applications. We are not talking about things from the past. a company Symantec The famous "Norton developer" discovered, on Friday, new malicious applications in the Google Store, which are contained in applications that have been downloaded tens of thousands of times.
Is Apple completely safe ?! Of course not You may have overlooked an Apple reviewer once, but you can be confident that 99.99% of the store's apps will not harm your device. So is controlling the review of published applications a bad thing and a shame?
* Control is considered a defect when Apple decides to block a specific application for arbitrary reasons that have nothing to do with security.
last word
I expect that there will be comments saying that we ignore the advantages of Android, this is not definitively the subject of the article, but we are talking about things that some see as a defect in Apple, but in fact, it is an advantage, as protecting you from falling into crimes is not a defect. Preventing you from theft is not a shame, protecting you from malicious apps is not a shame. You could argue that not being given the freedom to choose the default app is a disadvantage. But the above is not defective. Of course, the list of friends that I mentioned contains many examples, but we are content with just three points to clarify the idea that not all advantages are really advantages.
