Features of iPhone over other Phones

There is no doubt other phones like android and window phones have some compelling features that keep their users coming over and over again. But in every fight, there is a winner.

iPhone has gained their users confidence and trust with these under listed features.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are especially compelling for those who want the

best phone camera. But when most friends and family ask me what phone to buy, I tend to recommend the iPhone over Android.

Notice that I didn't say "iOS over Android." The reason to go the Apple route isn't just the platform; it's how the software and hardware complement each other. Live Photos on the iPhone 7, as well as the iPhone SE, is a perfect example. The iPhone also works seamlessly with other Apple gadgets, including Macs and the Apple Watch — there's an ecosystem factor.

I will try to summarize some the features iPhones have other other phones.

1. Better Hardware and Software Integration. 
2. Live Photos:
   The most compelling and unique iPhone camera feature is Live Photos, which captures video and audio during and just before and after your shot. You animate the image during playback by just long pressing on the screen. Other Android phones have offered similar features, such as HTC's Zoe, but Live Photos is easier to use. Plus, both Facebook and Tumblr support Live Photos, so you can share them with your friends.
3. It's the Easiest Phone to Use:
   Despite all the promises by Android phone makers to streamline their skins, the iPhone remains the easiest phone to use by far. There's no separate app drawer for your apps and no annoying overlay to get in the way. Some may lament the lack of change in the look and feel of iOS over the years, but I consider it a plus that it works pretty much the same as it did way back in 2007. Pick it up, turn it on, touch the app to open.
4. OS Updates When You Want Them:
   Unlike other operating systems that update automatically, OS updates doesn't.
5. The Best Apps First:Now that both iOS and Android have more than 1 million apps in their stores, the arms race is over, right? Not really. The iPhone is still favored by developers as the launch platform of choice for the hottest new apps.
6. No Bloatware:
   It's not a good sign for prospective Android phone buyers that some of the most popular articles we do are bloatware-removal guides. Samsung and others have gotten better at minimizing the pain for users by lumping all carrier bloatware into a single folder, but it's still just crap taking up space on your phone.You won't find a single piece of carrier software pre-loaded on an iPhone, making for a clean out-of-box experience. Now, Apple does include some apps you might not want or need, like Apple Watch, but it has much more restraint than other manufacturers when it comes to bundling its own stuff.
7. Works beautifully with Macs:If you haven't tried a Mac in a while, you might be surprised to know just how well iPhones work with them. For instance, with the Continuity feature in macOS, you can use your MacBook to send and receive text messages and even receive and place calls. All you have to do is keep your iPhone nearby.
   I find the Handoff feature a little less useful, but some may like that they can do things such as start an email on their Mac and then pick up where they left off on their iPhone — or vice versa. Thanks to iCloud keeping everything in sync, you'll also have easy access to the photos you take on your iPhone from your Mac, as well as any notes or documents you create.
8.  Apple Pay:
   Between Android Pay and Samsung Pay, Apple has plenty of rivals, but right now Apple Pay is the most popular method for making mobile payments. It’s also dead-simple to use. All you have to do to use Apple Pay is bring your iPhone close to the supported payment terminal at the checkout counter, then press your finger on your phone's Touch ID sensor.
9. Family Sharing:
   An Apple family that plays together, saves together. With Family Sharing on the iPhone, mom, dad and the kids can share purchases from the App Store, iTunes and iBooks with up to six people. You can still keep your own iTunes accounts, too. When Junior wants to make a purchase, you'll receive an alert via the "Ask to Buy" feature, so you can keep better tabs on what he's downloading and also prevent bill shock.
   Other Family Sharing features include shared photo albums, a shared calendar and the ability to see where your kids are on a map at any time. Google doesn't offer easy family sharing on Android devices.
10. Best Support and Help:
    When you have a problem with your Android phone, you can try online forums or calling your carrier. But with the iPhone, you can tap into a vast database of useful help articles on Apple's website, get help via live chat, or you can schedule an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar. Google doesn't have this kind of direct relationship with its customers. With Android, you're on your own.
