In a General case: OSes do a lot of problems, mostly they relate to the security and fragmentation data. However, the coin has two sides, and by the diversity of manufacturers Google can offer a number of unique hardware features that have long been available to users of Apple gadgets.

Apple, of course, to lose the competition does not intend, therefore the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, whose sales will start this month, there are several features of Android devices. And it’s gone for good.

3. The refusal of 3.5 mm audio Jack

Apple was not the first smartphone manufacturer, who decided to abandon the 3.5 mm connector. Back in April, LeEco submitted a flagship smartphone without the standard audio port. In June, Lenovo showed the world the modular smartphone Moto Z, its distinguishing feature was the lack of audio Jack for headphones. In fairness I must say that Android manufacturers began to abandon the 3.5 mm audiojack on the background of rumors about the iPhone 7.

4. Dual camera

Initially camera with dual module used in the smartphone LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D to implement 3D effect. Later, the idea has found application in smartphones HTC One M8 and Huawei Honor 6 Plus, where the second camera was used to change the focus on photos after the shoot and the number of effects.

Important innovation for the iPhone 7 CPU A10 Fusion, which for the first time on the Apple’s smartphone is equipped with 4 cores and unites 3.3 million transistors.

Footprint apps are running on the simple cores, the power controller automatically adjusts the load between the cores. Similar technology is used on Android smartphones with 8 – and 10-core processors. By implementing this technology the battery life of the iPhone 7 increased by 2 hours, and the iPhone 7 Plus 1 hour in comparison with their predecessors.

7. Design plastic inserts

The use of metal casings in smartphones has given rise to the problem of the reception signal, which requires a plastic insert on the case. IPhone 5/5s, the problem was solved thanks to the plastic fragments in the upper and lower part of the body. The iPhone 6 and 6s, they were replaced by horizontal plastic inserts. In the case of the iPhone 7 it was not straight lines, but shifted to the edges more tidy lines. What is proposed by Apple in “seven” cannot be considered a unique find, because earlier, a similar decision has already been implemented in the flagship Meizu Pro 6. Although the design of the steel inserts to use after the appearance of spy photos of the iPhone 7, formally the flagship Apple came later than the smartphone Meizu.

8. Touch Home button

Touch-sensitive buttons for navigating the Android user will be surprised. The virtual keys in bezel with fingerprint scanner in the “phones” also found a long time, for example 3 OnePlus and HTC 10.
