OBEY 57,109 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The iOS 9 features already available on Android Déjà vu: Many of the features Apple announced in iOS 9 have been available on Google's mobile operating system for quite some time. The details are in on Apple's next version of its iOS mobile operating. Apple unveiled iOS 9 at its Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco on Monday. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and that appears to be true for Apple's so-called "new features," many of which have been available on Android for years. Reminders Siri will become smarter with the release of iOS 9. Invitations from emails will automatically be added to your iPhone or iPad's calendar. Apple's voice assistant will then be able to remind users when to leave for upcoming events, even taking traffic into consideration. Sound familiar? That's essentially what Google Now does on Android and even iOS. Transit directions Apple Maps will soon be able to give directions for trains and buses. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, noted that Apple Maps will be able to provide step-by-step directions for all of the different transit lines, and will even take in consideration for the amount of time it would take to walk to the train. Google Maps includes the same features on both Android, iOS and the Web. In fact, Google announced transit direction in Google Maps for Android way back in 2011. Split-screen multitasking The iPad will finally support the use of two apps at one time. Split-screen multitasking has been one of the most requested features since the iPad debuted back in 2010. Apple again is late to the party with this one. While split-screen multitasking isn't available natively on stock Android, many of the smartphones andtablets offered by Samsung and LG have included the feature for the past few years. Let's not forget that this kind of multitasking is also available on the Microsoft Surface tablet. Low-power mode Battery life continues to be a major problem in today's gadgets. Apple is hoping to address the issue iniOS 9 with a low-power mode. When enabled, Apple claims that battery life will be extended by up to 3 hours. Battery saving features are nothing new for Android users. Almost all recent Android devices from HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG and others include some sort of battery saving features. Samsung's device even include an ultra power-saving mode that can extend a device for up to 12 days. It wasn't until the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, though, that Google included a native battery saver in stock Android. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/ios-9-features-on-android/ What do you all think about this? Sound off in the comments below I'm sorry Apple but it's time you step up your game tbhMy Galaxy s3 had all these features, it was time you put them on my iphone 6, but why are you acting like it's revolutionary?

I don't...better yet, I kind of do, but I want to see what I'll have to sacrifice in order to have those extra hours (depending on what it is, this low power mode will be meaningless to me)...

JGD 12,044 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Most of these features I don't even care for, so I barely use them.To be honest, I'm glad I switched from Android to iOS. Way easier to use, and it's very simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
