iOS 6 vs. Android 4.0 Google has a hard time to play

Computer shop news at WWDC 2012 in the early hours of the morning, Apple released the latest iOS 6. This update of iOS is extremely eye-catching. As the two biggest competitors on the market, iOS 6 and Android, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so we will take Apple’s mention in the early morning meeting. Several important features of iOS6 are compared with Android, and everyone has a clearer understanding of the two.

Number of apps:

iOS: At WWDC 2012, Apple CEO Cook mentioned that there are currently about 650,000 apps on the Apple App Store, including 225,000 are for iPad applications. This is a rather huge number.

Android: In contrast, Android currently has about 450,000 apps, most of which can also be used on tablet models, but the number of apps optimized for tablet devices in real sense is comparable to that on iOS. It’s a little sorrow.

Map:

iOS: Apple finally launched its own map application Maps, this time Apple and the old navigation manufacturer TomTom alliance, integrated 100 million different merchants Information, Yelp integration, and turn-by-turn navigation, as well as 3D map display, etc., are expected.

Android: There is no doubt that Google Maps is one of the best maps in the world, and even Apple was once a user of Google Maps. The integration of Google Maps in Android phones has long been quite mature, and features such as Google Street View have increased its competitive weight.

Application Service Integration:

iOS: On iOS 5, Apple integrated Twitter, and now Apple has not stopped the pace of deep integration, except In addition to integrating Facebook, iOS 6 also shows great friendliness to Chinese users. Baidu search, potato and Youku videos, optimized Chinese input methods, dictionaries and other functions have also been added to the new system. It can be said that with these services, iOS 6 will be more worthy of domestic users' expectations than previous versions.

Android: "Share" This element was mentioned as a key point in earlier versions of Android, so we can see that apps like Facebook were integrated in earlier Android phones. HTC even launched the Facebook mobile phone HTC ChaCha (the domestic version is changed to deeply integrate Tencent QQ and Tencent Weibo). Android is an old player in integrating social services, but iOS 6 is coming, how can Android deal with it?

Voice Command:

iOS: As a star feature when iPhone 4S was released, Apple finally brought Siri to the iPad on WWDC 2012, and also called Siri. Learned Chinese. I believe this alone is enough to make many Apple users in China ecstatic. We don't have to elaborate on Siri, we just have to wait quietly.

Android: There are also a lot of voice service functions on the Android system, but these services are more or less than Siri, and this time Siri will continue to lead in the support of the number of languages. . It seems that Google and many hardware vendors have to work harder.

Other small features:

iOS: Apple has added a quick reply SMS function for iOS 6, which allows users to quickly reply with some pre-defined sentences. SMS. There is also the “Anti-interference” function, which allows you to receive notifications and messages as usual, but the screen does not sound and the screen does not light up. It is foreseeable that this feature will be very popular.

Android: In Android 4.0, we can already see the quick reply SMS function, but it did not find something like "Anti-interference". Of course, in addition to the above, Android 4.0 also has some small features like Google Wallet.

Conclusion:

From Apple's current update to iOS, iOS has been greatly improved in all aspects, in addition to continuing to strengthen the original advantages of the project, Apple I finally came up with my own products on the previous weak projects. And from this update we also see Apple's emphasis on the Chinese market, it seems that in the days to come, Google and Android have a hard time to fight.
