iPhone 15 was introduced last September 12. The introduction of the new phone was followed with great excitement around the world. However, we have learned a lot about the device, which has also been published in many preview videos. But there is a point missed. Apple may have added some “new” features with the iPhone 15 series. However, its competitors on the Android side already had these features. Here are the details…
Apple is lagging behind, Android is making fun of you! Here is the list of those features
Even those who don’t own an iPhone know it. Apple likes to add the so-called “mute button” to its smartphone models. This button, which is very functional even though it serves a very simple purpose, said goodbye to us with the iPhone 15 Pro. Instead, a new key that can be called a “functional hardware key” has been added.
Yes, this feature was quite exciting when it was first explained because it was a brand new feature. But there is also a background to this. In fact, similar keys were used by companies such as Samsung and BlackBerry in 2010. This hardware, which was called “programmable key” at that time, aimed to serve the purposes desired by the users. We don’t see this type of button hardware much these days, but phones like Nokia XR21 still offer this feature to their users.
iPhone 15 couldn’t do it: Apple will end an era with iPhone 16!
Apple can switch to screens with 120Hz refresh rate with the iPhone 16 family. ProMotion is currently only available on Pro models.
Secondly, there is the “refocus” feature, which was talked about a lot, especially during the launch. This feature allows you to change the focus of a photo you have taken later, thanks to artificial intelligence. This feature, which Apple praised highly, was also frequently used in brands such as Samsung and HTC of the period. In short, although they were not as advanced as Apple, there were Android devices for a while. So it’s not a new feature.
We continue with perhaps the most explosive feature on this list: 3D video recording! Yes, it’s no joke. This feature called “Spatial Videos” may be new with the iPhone 15 Pro, but phones such as HTC Evo 3D and LG Optimus 3D offered the opportunity to record 3D videos in 2011. In addition to these features, there is also USB-C, which is not fully included in the list. Whether it is exactly a new or old Android feature is open to debate.
Of course, although all these features are new for Apple and old for Android, the issue is actually a bit of a marketing strategy. As you can see, many Android devices already have these features, but the introduction of none of them is as excitedly awaited as an iPhone. So, even though we say Apple is lagging behind here, we are actually highlighting another point where it is successful.
