Of course, the iPhone 6s is the best selling smartphone on the market. But, despite the excellent design, software features and high performance, even it lacks some features that others have, less popular models.
Apple’s main rival in the mobile market offers a number of solutions that could find application in iPhone. We are talking about flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7. In this case, it concerns not only technical equipment of the smartphone, but also software features. Here are a few examples of what could take a note of Apple.
1. Quick launch the camera by double-clicking the Home button
iPhone are multifunction devices capable of doing many diverse things. Most often, of course, people use them to surf the Internet, communicate in social networks and shooting. Many iPhone replaced the main camera. Now in order to turn the Camera on, you need to find the application icon on the home screen or pull up the lower right area of the screen lock. Method is definitely not efficient enough.
On the Galaxy S7 is the function to quickly launch the camera by double pressing the Home button. Samsung is proud of the fact that it allows you to start shooting already in 0.7 seconds. The feature is so convenient that after meeting with “Korean” out of habit on the iPhone doing the same thing. However, in the case with a smartphone, double click the Apple Home button from sleep mode activates Apple Pay. A good option to turn on the camera might be the volume keys or triple clicking on the Home button.
2. Separate the “Back”button
In 2007, a complete lack of control keys and having only one button “Home” in iPhone was a real revelation for the market. The usual closing programs did not, instead they curl up. How Apple has solved the problem and return you to the previous screen? For the back button, chose a place with the top left corner. In principle, no contradiction of this decision is not caused. The place is quite comfortable and if the screen size is 3.5 inches doesn’t cause problems. But when it comes to the 4.7 – and 5.5-inch models it is not. You have to use the Reachability feature, or drag to the left edge of the screen, which is not so comfortable and often not obvious to users.
At the bottom of the screen Galaxy S7 has a separate Back button that simplifies the management of the operating system. To return to the previously loaded page in the browser simply click on the button. In iOS 9 virtual button “Back”, which, for example, when you open the App store from Safari appears in the upper left corner. To use it not too conveniently, and I want to believe that with the release of iOS 10 the company will modify this feature and make it more user-friendly.
3. Flexible configuration control
TouchWiz on the Galaxy provides flexible adjustment of buttons in the notification Center. On Android they appeared earlier than the control on an iPhone and allow more space for customization. For example, the user may move the button to start Wi-Fi at the top, and function to enable the mode of the modem to take down as superfluous. Along with this, the second swipe opens the full list of switches.
The control center in iOS 9 offers no options for personal settings. It is hoped that in the next edition of IOS developers implement a more flexible option panel. Apple finally will allow to change the icons in some places, to add new shortcuts is unnecessary. For example, to remove the Calculator in favor of instant activation power saving mode. Well, and circulate to the control powers of the Force Touch.
