There are either iOS lovers or there are Android lovers, there lies nothing in between. It has been years since these two dominant operating systems surfaced the market, but the war goes on.

Both the OS are certainly the best when it comes to mobile app development and use, but there are certain factors that offer iPhone users an edge over their counterparts. These factors are something which Android users can only dream of unless they buy an iPhone of their own.

Android offers ease of use and functionality that we love. iOS, on the other hand, brings style, class, and sophistication to the table.

Below listed are a few features only iPhone users can enjoy. Read on.

iMessage

iMessage is one of the most popular iOS apps. The instant messenger works seamlessly over Apple platforms: iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad.

The service is WhatsApp equivalent for Apple platform. In fact, it’s a highly encrypted SMS/MMS alternative.

It can be used to send group messages, documents, contact information, and photos via iMessage.

It’s a quite handy application which can be used simultaneously with more than one iOS device.

You can keep the conversation going across all of them, which is nice.

FaceTime

Unlike Android users who depend on third party video-calls provider, Apple offers in-house service.

FaceTime allows users to communicate between Apple devices through video calls. It can be used for iPhone, Mac, iPad, iPod Touch, etc.

The most interesting fact about this app is that user can simultaneously use both front and rear camera while making calls.

Apple Updates

Apple does not believe in making its customers wait. iOS update is immediately released to iPhone, iPad, and Mac as soon as it’s out.

Users can install the latest updated version as soon as they’re released by the company.

Better Safety

Sure, Android phone offers more freedom, but it arrives at a hefty price. Android phone security can be breached far easily.

However, same is not the case with Apple products. Highly encrypted features of the device make the product too difficult to fall victim to malicious malware.

It’s not like iPhone is absolutely safe, but they are way more secure compared to Android phones.

The safety levels are high in iPhone because it doesn’t allow installation of third-party applications from unknown sources.

Compatible with All Devices

Apple devices tend to synchronize extremely well with one another because Apple has similar hardware and software for all of its devices.

An iPhone user can start writing a text message, email, or a document on any Apple device and can easily continue working on the remaining task from other Apple device.

The continuity offers an Apple user to make or receive calls from Mac, iPod, or iPad when their iPhone is sharing the same wireless network.

Let’s not judge the two OS as both are best in their own way in the market. But, there are certain things that make one superior to another. The above-mentioned points are something which Android users can only dream of, but not enjoy. This certainly gives iPhone users something to swag and take pride in.
