If you are an Android user, you may feel a bit strange and perhaps ironic when Apple announces new features for users of the company’s products, but it seems familiar to you as an Android user and you may have used it on your phone for months or even years, but for Apple users it is still new and will be available on their devices now, Away from the Apple “FanBoy” logic that is used to mock Apple users, we will tell you the answer from the point of view of Marquis Brownlee, the famous YouTuber who specializes in technology.
Why is Apple always late?
In a recent video, Marquis Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, explained on his YouTube channel why Apple is lagging behind when it comes to the features and innovations of its devices, specifically the iPhone, and why Android companies excel in this matter.
Brownlee said that it is simply because of Apple's focus, which is completely different from the focus of Android companies, and let's take Google in comparison with Apple.
While Google focuses on innovation, Apple does not care about being the first. Instead, the company wants to take innovation to the next level, by improving the features of its products and making them able to work seamlessly across its multiple devices, meaning that these features are related to all devices and are not exclusive to a device One.
Let's dive into the Apple ecosystem and explain it with a simple example. There may be better earbuds than Airpods, but none of them are as good as Apple headphones or even work well and smoothly with the iPhone. There may also be great messaging apps for sharing files, but None of them work in the form, method, or strength that you'll find in iMessage or even AirDrop.
And that's not just about hardware, Brownlee says. That's how Apple thinks it makes it hard for customers to leave the company's ecosystem, because all the devices work seamlessly together — the headset, the watch, the iPad, the iPhone, the laptop, and so on.
Apple's way of working
So while the Google team can be wonderfully innovative because it's more isolated and doesn't have the constraints of having to talk to other product teams all the time, you'll find them offering amazing, cool new features.
On the other hand, the Apple team may have the same idea as the Google team at the same time and sometimes even before the Google team, but Apple has limitations that force its teams to have to work with the rest of the ecosystem in order to try to connect a large number of different things and features with several Products This, of course, doubles the amount of time required before launching, but when the final result is reached, a product that is much better than the competing product that has existed for a while is announced.
Brownlee cited Apple's new feature called Live Text, which was announced at the company's recent conference For WWDC DevelopersLive Text recognizes text in an image in your camera or photos, and allows you to copy and paste this handwritten text or place it in another application.
Of course Android phones have already done something very similar a while ago with their Google Lens feature but the difference here is in terms of how smoothly the Apple feature works.
For example, seeing a phone number in a tag on a picture and then long pressing that phone number and then immediately calling the number and this is easier and faster than going to Google Lens and copying and pasting from there.
In addition, Apple announced another new feature associated with the FaceTime application known as Share Play, through which users can share the screen and watch things together within FaceTime, similar to what is offered by Zoom, Google Mate and Microsoft Teams.
But, again, the difference isn't what Apple can do, but how Apple does it.
For example, if you are listening to the Apple Music app or watching a video in FaceTime with someone, you have a beautiful interface that syncs with the app so you can watch or listen using the simultaneous playback controls, this is much better than the screen sharing function as a block Transferring media files depends on the availability and speed of the Internet connection, and this may cause a bad experience.
Of course, companies like Netflix, Disney and HBO will be keen to take advantage of Apple's new feature, so that their apps can similarly connect directly to FaceTime and offer a similar great experience to users.
And if you are an Android user and you are not convinced, here is the most powerful feature that will show you how far Apple is ahead of other companies when it comes to new features and technologies even if Apple announced them late, such as the ability to connect your Mac to the iPad and drag the cursor between both devices back and forth smoothly Or even drag and drop files between them. “This is one of the coolest, smartest features of the ecosystem that I've probably ever seen,” Brownlee said of connecting the Mac to the iPad.
"I don't know how many years we have to wait to see Google do the same by connecting a Chrome OS laptop with an Android tablet," Brownlee added.
In the end, Brownlee says that the choice between the iPhone and Android is mainly down to what you prefer. Are you looking for innovative and new features that are launched every period but are not complete or do you want to wait until those features are well polished and compatible with all the devices you own, That's what Apple does and it seems to be working well for the company and making it the best so far.
Brownlee's main device is Android, and he always announces this, but this did not prevent him from the impartial logical analysis that we are accustomed to from him.

At one time, a dislike applies to all my comments and he has no response
repression is a beast
Oh good group
What requires waiting years, technology stability, and empty talk from this in matters that have become essential, such as, for example, the modification of programs?
The company itself gave you a mobile phone that supports two lines, which means that it recognizes that you need two numbers, but programs such as WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
This is different from other programs, from which you need two copies for other considerations, such as Amazon. If you are shopping from the Saudi and American stores, for example, to avoid changing the country from the settings every time.
Whoever wants to talk about real distinction in the iPhone and the Mac talks about the unique features المزايا
Like, for example, the Shortcut on the iPhone and the Automator on the Mac
He does not defend the intuitions the company is years behind
I have a Mac and myself Apple is doing the Cut . order
Which is present in all the systems of the world since the beginning of creation
This is not convincing at all
Because it does not explain obvious, easy and direct things in which Apple was late for many years and did not present anything new or what it presented. It does not require research, nor technological stability, nor any of these tricks, and it could have been implemented for years, had it not been for stubbornness.
A stark example: App Drawer/App Library
As for those who talk about technologies that Google hastens and then removes, please talk to me about the 3D Touch sensor سن
In my humble opinion, I prefer to wait until I get an integrated feature that is compatible with the system and works smoothly, and the most important thing is the permanence of this feature.
We have seen many features of Android that were soon announced until they were forgotten or deleted.
Apple's hardware and system are, in my opinion, the best in terms of quality, durability, and realism. Although I agree that Apple has a kind of miserliness like what is happening to this day with regard to the free five GB of storage on iCloud, which is currently not enough for owners of iPhone XNUMX and above. And intransigence about our inability to unload what we don't need on iCloud to get some space
I'm talking about problems
One of them, for example, is not to pick up the call from the headset unless it comes from the headset button, but if you answer the call from the mobile, it does not go to the headset
This performance is only for headphones from other brands that are not Apple
The other thing is errors in sending sound to a wrong headset when connecting more than one, for example, if an external Bluetooth headset and the car’s Bluetooth are connected at the same time.
If you come back from the car, sometimes the voice of the speaker comes from the car, but he does not hear you because your voice is not sent to the car mic
Knowing that the Bluetooth device is the same, this happens with Android phones
I'm not messed up
And another example
AirPlay from the Photo program does not send audio video to Sony Bravia TV, while Chromecast from Android sends it
This is from Apple, Mo from Sony
Charity versus creativity. This is what the YouTuber summarizes, and he is one of the adventurers, so he carries Android. As for the godfather of what the apple calls “features that no one wants,” it was Samsung and now it is the Mami and Wawy companies.
The decline of these companies lies in the fact that the average user lives in his hands his device for two to three years, and Apple is aware of this, so there is no rush to throw out features on the hardware front and on the operating system level, it is a sufficient period for charity.
And the reward for that is trust, sustainability, and a sound market structure, not the adventures and scandals that fill the noses with the smell of under-ware systems.
The updates and features that you hear as if the task is mostly a feature that may or may not benefit, according to the user’s preferences and inclinations, for example, the widget feature will not find me using it until now except what is imposed by iOS, while there are many articles with this and its importance and that it is a shortcoming of my apple and a delay in the path of idiots. And after all that I haven't used it nor do I find it necessary yet.
It's a long place to talk, but know, dear reader, before you talk about features, think carefully that any immature new feature is a software security risk, so beware!
Your words indicate that you use your phone only for messaging, calling and some games.. It is normal for you to see the additional features that they are for idiots
For me, I use applications in various fields: reading, travel, work, games, blogging, notes, mobility, electronic payment and even sports. I do not know if this is what is meant by communication, games and messages, and I do not know if this is an average use. I still think feature thieves want them just for fun first, and I don't find any Android feature that calls for all this cramming for frivolous features. And if you are experienced, then tell us about the wondrous features that require us to scold the apple for it and the losses resulting from its loss? Especially since most of the important Android features have been reproduced in apple 😉
Actually Apple doesn't offer any new features until it matures and becomes too stringy even 😂
👍🏻
This is an intruder on us from the Java system group... I hope the administration bans it
Nonsense
The headphones, for example, do not work smoothly with Apple phones because Apple deliberately puts obstacles and troubles to force you to replace your headphones with an Apple headphone
And if what the author claimed is true, why do the same headphones work so well with Android?
you messed up
AirPods have features exclusive to Apple devices that are not found in other headphones
As for the other headphones, they work well with Apple devices such as Android devices, but without the features of the AirPods
By God, if there was a percentage given to Apple, I would not give it more than XNUMX%. Likewise, by God, I have not used since XNUMX AH other than the iPhone, a powerful system, there is no doubt about that, but there is nothing new for the user, neither in Arabic font, nor icons, nor the shape of the device. Minor additions and it takes time to discover them, even the iPad and the watch as well The Mac and I really started thinking about changing
God, who is your grandfather?
Change your mobile phone to the shape of icons and maps
You see, I swear to God, I have children's things and take them from me. If you take an Android phone, the first thing you take is to adjust and settle, then forget and use these trivial things
Mac device?
Anyone who uses Windows with a Mac knows that the Mac has many updates and new things compared to the Windows that you feel like you are living in 2007 and you are using it
I thought I would change other than your comfort, teacher, and Apple won't go bankrupt after you 😊
You are confusing what the YouTuber said with what you think, and this is a shading. Put the YouTuber's words in quotes “” after which the reader will know that 70% of the words are written by fan Boy
I watched the video a week ago and the article conveyed your exact words to the YouTuber
Incorrect... Brownlee's phone is the iPhone and he always wears an Apple Watch in all his videos. He also carries another phone, a Google Pixel, and it was announced before this.
Brownlee has his primary Android phone and carries an extra iPhone for things like video and social networking which is better on the iPhone and for the watch.
As for the watch, it is worn a lot because there is no Android watch that matches it in quality. Some YouTubers who are deeply rooted in Android, such as Linus Tech Tips, even wear it and use an Android device almost exclusively as a “kind of protest against the poor quality of Android watches.”
This is tucked from the Android group for sure. 😂😂
Because she is stingy
Every day you come and tell a lie, what is your problem, patient?
Apple always thinks of everything new
Despite this, you find some groups mocking and hating anything coming from Apple. It is worth noting that there are many things that some Android users rant about. Apple was the first in it with contracts such as widget, fingerprint, voice assistant Siri, screen recording from the system itself and complete privacy And many of the features and minute details of interest to the user and not only to show off the muscles and fill the device with unimportant and unused features.
I add that there are features and features that do not work and features that have no benefit and are only for display, such as yes, we have such and such and such…. There are several features that do not work and are of no use as stated in the advertisements, as I said and as other people said, they are only for display
