Apple’s hardware (at least, its SoCs) is still a good 2-3 years ahead of the top Qualcomm chips in flagship android phones in terms of performance and performance-per-watt.
I give it less than a year before Xiaomi adds both the cutout and the island to their latest hardware.
So, what you're saying is that Apple's advantage is that they make the software and the hardware? You don't say?
I can't stand people who are saying this is game changing. It's just designing around a giant hole and hiding the camera in black space!!!! Nothing more. Sure it is efficient and good designing, but it's not changing anything!
I know dude, but comments like yours are a dime a dozen. Always trivializing, mocking, something that hasn’t been done before and saying, “meh, it’s a nothingburger”. Instead of appreciating a marvel of software implementation and giving credit where it’s due and moving on. Is it game changing? Up to your perspective. It is a multi tasking tool providing information while doing other things on your phone and it’s visually satisfying to see the animations associated with it.
Lmfao why would they? Android phones have had tiny punch holes for years. They don't need a gimmick to try and hide an oversized pill shaped cutout.
You need to post this, verbatim, on a Samsung forum. Sammy makes some really nice hardware, but gawd the software is awful (more bloated than my stomach after an all you can eat taco binge). If I couldn't custom ROM a Galaxy S, I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole.
I use those shortcuts all the time! If they were optional, you'd get your wish and I'd get to keep them.
The 3 largest companies in America are software or software-centric companies.
You’re right. Software is what makes an iPhone different than any other of these higher end android phones. Up until recently software was what made the Mac different than any other Windows PC. People don’t buy iPhone because of the hardware. People buy iPhone because of iOS. If you put android on an iPhone it just becomes another android phone.
