    Act like an adult and name a _single_ basic useful app functionality on iOS that you claim is completely missing from Android, nospam...

    HINT: No matter how much Apple spends in branding, electronic payment
    systems and emoji, the basic app functionality isn't completely
    missing from Android - and if you think it is - that shows you
    can't separate brand-name marketing from functional technology.

    The fact is there is _plenty_ of useful basic app functionality on Android
    that is completely missing from iOS but this is asking about the other way.

    Name a _single_ basic useful app functionality on iOS missing from Android.
    *Name Just One*
    --
    HINT: There is a good reason for the lack of basic functionality on iOS;
    but first you have to try to answser the question before you can go there.

    In another thread, Steve claimed that the basic functionality of "Garage Band" and "Apple News" is _completely missing_ from Android... which means Steve doesn't understand what functionality is if he can't separate functionality from brand names.

    Likewise, in the same thread, nospam pasted a ton of trademarks (such as "Apple Pay" and even "animoji" as his idea of useful basic functionality

    Neither Steve nor nospam can separate functionality from marketing brands. Hence, the question remains...

    Hi Zaidy036,

    It's good people are _thinking_ hard about what basic functionality is on
    one platform and yet that same basic functionality is missing from another.

    But it isn't going to be common video telephony software functionality.
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FaceTime>.

    But it would be nice to find something (anything) by way of basic useful
    app functionality that the iPhone has that Android doesn't already have.

    The fundamental question is whether there is _zero_ or, maybe "some"?
    I don't know.

    That's why I ask:

    An OS that is far more secure, thanks to dumb-ass novice users NOT

    Doesn't Android have >12 years of security updates to the main apps?

    A Calendar app where the reminders actually works at the scheduled

    no

    Why did you say no when the answer is yes?

    stop lying.

    the answer is no.

    the original motorola droid was released in october 2009, almost 13
    years ago.

    three years ago, in 2019, on its 10th anniversary and within your
    supposed 12 year timeframe for updates, businessinsider had this to
    say:

    <https://www.businessinsider.com/we-used-the-motorola-droid-on-its-10th- anniversary-2019-11>
    Using this phone 10 years later is a lot like using no phone at all.
    I cannot update the OS. There is no app store. The app store is the
    Android Marketplace, which became defunct in 2012 when they
    replaced it with the Google Play store.

    The Google Play store can only be used on Jelly Bean or higher,
    which is 4.1, I believe. So basically I can't do anything but take
    pictures and listen to music.

    note this part:
    I cannot update the OS. There is no app store.

    updates ceased in early 2011 with android 2.2, or about 1.5 years of
    official updates.

    1.5 years is less than 12 years. a *lot* less.

    math is hard.

    the article references a 10 year old phone, which is within your 12
    year claim of support.

    ftfy.

    If you buy an Android today the apps are updated for more than 12 years.

    you have absolutely no way of knowing what will happen in 12 years.

    you also have no evidence that's even a thing.

    the reality is that very few apps are updated for anywhere near that
    long.

    as with everything, there are exceptions, such as facebook and twitter,
    which have been around for years and likely will still be around for
    many more. that is not the norm.

    apps also drop support for older hardware and android versions, which
    means that a future version of an app won't work on a device bought
    today. it will target whatever hardware and os is available at that
    future time, relying on features and frameworks that don't yet exist.

    I cannot update the OS.

    I wasn't talking about ten years ago when Android was still being designed.

    you said android is updated for 12+ years. that's false.

    Nowadays Samsung Android security updates are only around about five years.

    5 years is less than 12. math is hard.

    it's also select samsung models, not all of them.

    But Android app security updates are much longer at multiple times that.

    apps get app updates, which may include security and bug fixes, as well
    as new features.

    that's also up to app developers, not android itself.

    some apps are not updated at all.

    https://www.howtogeek.com/825292/7-features-android-should-steal-from-iphone/

    Hi Zaidy,
    I know you well from the Windows newsgroups.
    You're not an iKook.

    You have the basic capacity to comprehend _adult_ concepts (let's hope).

    It's good you are _thinking_ hard about what basic functionality is on
    Android and yet that same basic functionality is *wholly missing from iOS*.

    I already know you can't find _anything_ by way of useful app functionality that is on iOS & completely missing from Android (and I even know why).

    But you're not yet ready for that level of _adult_ cognizance yet, Zaidy
    (and yes, I know you well from the Windows newsgroups so I respect you).

    You just haven't looked at the problem set so you don't yet understand it.

    But you're smarter than the average iKooks who isn't smart enough to
    understand why you'll _never_ find useful app functionality on iOS not _already_ on Android.

    So your list is a reasonable start at you beginning to come to the adult understanding of why iOS will _always_ never have functionality of Android.

    Let's start with your reference, as I would _love_ to find at least one
    single useful modern app functionality on iOS not already on Android.
    *So far, nobody can find even _one_* (and that's just sad)

    <https://www.howtogeek.com/825292/7-features-android-should-steal-from-iphone/>
    1. Focus on the iPhone is essentially specialized Do Not Disturb modes
    for specific situations. Android has a feature called Focus Mode,
    but it's very different.

    Assuming that's correct, it's _not_ completely missing from either.
    Next...

    2. Shortcuts is a nifty automation feature for the iPhone.
    Of course, there are plenty of third-party Android apps that
    can do these things...

    WTF? Zaidy. WTF? Did you _understand_ the question, or not?
    C'mon. I'm expecting you to own _adult_ comprehensive skills, Zaidy.

    You did what the iKooks do which is paste URLs that you didn't even read. C'mon. Adults do not do that Zaidy.
    Children do.

    3. Face ID was released in 2017. Sure, there have been Android phones
    with Face Unlock...

    Holy Shit, Zaidy. Are you a child or an actual adult?
    Apple trademarked FaceID so it will never be on Android with that name.
    But you saying it's not on Android is just what the ignorant iKooks do.

    C'mon Zaidy.
    I expect you to own a modicum of adult comprehensive skills.
    You didn't even _read_ the URL you posted.
    Wrose, if you did - you don't own adult comprehensive skills as it's
    just a bunch of brand name's that Apple trademarked.

    Stop being an ignorant childish idiot like the iKooks always are.
    Post facts like an intelligent adult in this conversation please.

    4. Notifications on the iPhone are a bit of a mess, but there’s one
    thing about it that Apple has gotten right—splitting up the
    Notification Center and Control Center.

    You think Android doesn't have notifications and controls? WTF?
    Zaidy... you're just proving my point with this trademark garbage.

    The _only_ thing you found so far that Apple has that Android doesn't have
    are Apple trademarks. HINT: Trademarks are marketing bullshit, Zaidy.

    Not functionality.

    5. Shake to Undo.

    Again, Android has so much tap and shake automation that for you to claim
    that Apple's copy of Android functionality is somethign "missing" from
    Android is simply preposterous.

    I don't think you even _read_ your own cite, Zaidy.
    I commend you for trying - but you have to _read_ it before posting it.
    It's actually insulting you think someone will believe what you posted.

    6. Spotlight Search

    Oh Jesus. Android, from Google, doesn't have "search" functionality?
    WTF? What grade are you in, Zaidy.
    Seriously.

    Did you even _read_ the cite you provided as "proof" you found somethin, anything, by way of useful functiobnality on iOS not already on Android?

    7. “Universal” Communication Apps like iMessage & FaceTime.
    First off, they're not "universal" but more to the point this is ridiculous that you think trademarks are functionality, when they simply are not.

    In summary, Zaidy, I commend you for trying to find something (*ANYTHING!*) useful by way of app functionality on iOS not already long ago on Android.

    The fact you will NEVER find it isn't known to you yet.
    But please don't insult our intelligence by posting a link you didn't read.

    Your link showed _zero_ app functionality on iOS not already on Android.

    The fundamental question remains whether there is _zero_ or, maybe "some"?
    I don't know.

    That's why I ask:
    *Name a _single_ app functionality on iOS that isn't already on Android*
    --
    Hint: You can't.
    You don't even know why yet.
    I do.
    But your brain isn't sufficiently developed yet to comprehend that answer.
    So we need to wait.
    You need to first REALIZE the facts.
    Only then can you understand why.
    You need to grow up a little.
    And start thinking like an intelligent well-educated adult should think.
    Can you do that Zaidy?
    I hope you can.
    Otherwise... you're just an iKook which is a worthless piece of shit.
    Your choice.
    Ignorance or intelligence.
    Up to you.

    You don't know what an app is. Android app security updates are
    ALWAYS longer than they are on iOS.

    I love the way you've carefully narrowed the criteria.

    He's gone all the way way "iOS just dies" to "You don't know what an app
    is". : D

    Who gives a shit if you cannot upgrade the OS.

    You don't understand that it's the apps that give the device its power. Android updates the apps. iOS doesn't.

    You don't understand that apps use the services of the underlying OS,
    and you don't understand that lots of modern Android apps won't run
    under older versions of the OS.

    If you can't update your Android phone to at least Android 6 or higher,
    you can't run the latest version of Google Chrome...

    ...and that is a Google app on a Google OS.

    Yes.

    Because it seems you do not.

    Come back when you learn what an app is.

    Come back when you learn what an OS is and why ongoing support is

    On Android, it just works.

    The "Chris Schram" posting in this thread is a cynical forgery, although

    <https://imgur.com/iY4sX4f>
    <https://imgur.com/4K9BOeB>
    <https://imgur.com/Uxt0NZ1>

    8. Tap and hold the sound file to import it into your GarageBand song: <https://imgur.com/pjPgyD2>
    You can now optionally edit the song as you see fit, or leave it as-is: <https://imgur.com/tJ2ASqM>

    9. Tap the arrow icon near the top-left corner, and tap My Songs: <https://imgur.com/QyMa8dt>

    You already know badgolferman stated that any number of steps beyond a
    single step was more than he was willing to do, and that he actually
    doesn't even *want* to create a ringtone, Arlen. This whole thread is a
    troll from dumb asses who either don't know how to create ringtones and
    trolls who want to pretend it's either too hard or impossible to do. You
    dip shits aren't fooling *anyone* who knows better. : )
