Eight Features iPhone 8 Should Have to Win over Android<\/h2>\n

I might hurt iPhone fans immensely, but their idol is losing the ground as the state-of-the-art smartphone. And changing the dimensions haven\u2019t improved the situation either. Nor did the fancy idea to get rid of an audio socket. Here are eight features iPhone 8 should have to win over Android again.<\/p>\n

#1 SHATTER PROFF SCREEN<\/h3>\n

Apple engineers should really, really do something to this. Gorilla Glass and sapphire glass are ok in press releases and in ads but they don’\u2019 survive the everyday life. With a variety of materials the industry can offer, it\u2019s a shame Apple hasn\u2019t addressed this issue yet. My Sony Xperia Z and Huawei Honor A5 fell dozens of time to the hard wooden and tiled floors but never sported a scratch. And they aren\u2019t even top smartphones of their lines! While replacing the broken screen makes two thirds of repair cases for the iPhone.<\/p>\n

#2 QUICK CHARGING<\/h3>\n

Quick charging is now a must-have for every Android flagship, even a budget flagship. Some may snide that it\u2019s because Android OS consumes a lot of power and a user has to live around the wall socket. But featuring a large screen, as latest iPhones do, pays its toll. And waiting for hours for the phone to charge is not an option nowadays.<\/p>\n

#3 MORE SYSTEM RAM<\/h3>\n

Even Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Meizu feature no less than 4GB of RAM in their middle-class and top-class smartphones nowadays. With smartphones turning into digital assistants rather than literary phones we need more and more RAM for AI and multitasking. If Apple developers have always been very close with the storage volume it must not mean they should follow the pattern with the operating memory as well. And speaking of which, here goes<\/p>\n

#4 MORE STORAGE<\/h3>\n

Yes, Apple developers are scrupulous about storage. They make you pay for every extra dozen of gigabytes. If they\u2019re so reluctant to insert a memory card slot, then OK, give enough space for pictures, messages, apps! Ok, you offer the iCloud space but the iCloud is unavailable offline. That\u2019s the problem because we all know how poor is the wireless Internet in the USA. We\u2019re lagging behind Japan in this aspect, behind Europe and even Russia. So, if I\u2019m offline, I can\u2019t reach my pictures, docs, anything!<\/p>\n

#5 MICROSD CARD SLOT<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t know why I put in the point about the memory card. It\u2019s a very old wanna-have. And we all know the reasons why Apple didn\u2019t install it. First, it takes up place. Second, it undermines the iCloud conception and iCloud brings a lot of bucks. But lack of the expandable storage makes the iPhone a second choice on many occasions. The iPhone is a good smartphone for a city life. But I doubt I\u2019d take it with me for a travel.<\/p>\n

#6 FULL SCALE OTG SUPPORT<\/h3>\n

If we aren\u2019t lucky with the memory card slot, perhaps, we\u2019ll be able to get a full scale OTG support and not the limited version of it. Right now the iPhone supports only iXpand Flash Drive by Sandisk. This flash drive is rather expensive and hard to find in stores. OTG can come about handy when you want to print out a document or a picture. Many Android smartphones can be plugged into the printers via OTG.<\/p>\n

#7 HIGHER RESOLUTION CAMERA<\/h3>\n

Yes! Sony and Asus are cooperating with the leading manufacturers of optics for cameras like Leica. They try new shutter features and experiment with the number of rear cameras. Twin cams are a must have for many Android flagships nowadays. The anniversary iPhone 8 must surely feature the best camera of all. To say nothing of megapixels they should add to the iPhone cam to make it the top choice among camera-phones.<\/p>\n

#8 BIOMETRICAL ID<\/h3>\n

Apple was the first to implement the fingerprint reader into the mobile. Now Samsung and Microsoft take the lead with their biometrical identification systems which recognize a user by irises and facial features. The iPhone fans feel disappointed that it was Samsung S8 that will sport such a great feature. Microsoft implemented the biometrical ID in their tablets and laptops while Apple has been fussing about ditching the audio socket and introducing the new file system. Perhaps, they\u2019ll surprise us with voice recognition? I do hope they will.<\/p>\n

There is an Android feature I didn\u2019t list. It\u2019s the dock support Android and Windows 10 phones have. I doubt it\u2019s of any use at all. Especially in the Apple ecosystem.<\/p>\n
