iPhone X – 3 Functions stolen from Android and a Lie

iPhone X has presented 3 functions stolen from the Android camp, but also a big lie that fans of the platform tell themselves daily in the absence of the Apple function.

iPhone X was officially presented by the Apple company in mid-September and surprised a lot of people thanks to the functions implemented by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. iPhone X amazes first of all with its design, its screen covering a good part of the front panel, but having a cut-out in the upper part, this being the differentiating feature between Apple's phone and those of the competition.

iPhone X comes with a lot of changes compared to the old iPhone models, but it also has a number of functions taken over from the Android phones launched in recent years on the market. In the video clip below, you can see in detail some of these functions that the iPhone X took over from its Android competitors, but also a gross lie that Apple will have to combat with detailed explanations in the future.

Wireless charging

The iPhone X has wireless charging, just like the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and this is one of the key features that the phones offer, although it's not really that useful. Wireless charging in the iPhone X is compatible with the Qi standard, it will not be fast, but it brings a technology that has existed in Android phones for many years, here Apple is lagging behind the competition without innovating.

OLED screen

The iPhone X has an OLED screen, a first for the iPhone, but many years after most Android phone manufacturers decided to use the technology. Apple avoided using OLED screens in the iPhone because the technology was not good enough compared to what it was using, but also because the production was not high enough, but with the iPhone X things change.

The iPhone X has OLED screens manufactured exclusively by the Samsung company, but the Koreans can totally satisfy Apple's demand, so the implementation is done with problems, but we are not talking about something innovative.

Screen that covers the entire front panel

The iPhone X amazes with a very interesting design based on a screen that covers the entire front panel, the elegance being interrupted by the upper cutout, but we will have to live with it, just as we lived with the stripes in the case. Although iPhone X has this feature implemented as a new element, we are not talking here about any innovation, but about taking over a trend that started more than 1 year ago.

The iPhone X has a screen that covers almost the entire front panel, for the first time also the lower part, but the idea itself started with other manufacturers, who launched phones of this kind a long time ago.

Advanced facial recognition through Face ID

Here comes the big lie of the video clip above, because the iPhone X does not implement a facial recognition that has existed for years in Android phones. iPhone X implements the first biometric facial recognition system, something that no Android phone manufacturer has and will not have very soon, the Android implementation being something thought for users to play in their free time.

iPhone X has a highly advanced facial recognition system, Face ID, which uses a 3D camera, infrared sensors and various other sensors to provide advanced biometric security. Face ID in iPhone X is more secure than Touch ID, which scans fingerprints, while facial recognition in Android can be fooled with pictures of users, so the lie propagated by Android fans will not disappear, but it will show how limited some are to understand what Face ID means.
