Operating system developers are finding it increasingly difficult to come up with new features that can entice users. As a result, everything devolves into copying competitors’ ideas and optimizing them for a specific platform. Unfortunately, the most convenient features are ignored for some reason. So why doesn’t Apple just go ahead and make the alarm volume increase , or give the ability to adjust it separately from other notifications? This has long been implemented on Android and allows you to wake up without a heart attack.
And if you add to iOS the ability to limit the number of connections to the access point on the iPhone , notification icons in the status bar and the ability to forcefully disable NFC , then the Earth will most likely stop altogether after that.
Increasing alarm sound
Surely you have repeatedly seen the video on YouTube “Morning of the owner of Android and iPhone. ” If you’ve already watched it, be sure to check it out. The bottom line is that thanks to the smoothly increasing sound of the alarm clock on Android, waking up takes place at a calm pace and sets the appropriate mood for the whole day. And the owner of the iPhone jumps almost to the ceiling at the sharp sound and even gets scared. In fact, this is true. All the tunes that Apple offers, even “Slow Uphill,” still start off sharp.
What’s the problem with making a rising melody on an iPhone is completely unclear to me. Apple programmers easily make custom lock screens, contact posters, and other cool features, but they can’t just add a switch for increasing volume to the ready-made Clock application. It looks kind of strange. If there’s anything on Android that’s worth copying to the iPhone first, it’s this feature.
Separate volume control in Android
The second point automatically follows from the first. In theory, in order not to jump from the alarm sound, you can simply reduce it through the settings. But, firstly, this is not suitable for everyone. For example, I simply skip the alarm on my iPhone if it is not at maximum. And secondly, along with the alarm clock, the volume of other alerts, including the ringer, also changes. But this, frankly speaking, is inconvenient.
Why not make different volume scales for calls, notifications and alarms ? What’s so difficult about this? On Android, a similar function has been available for many years and allows you to customize everything for the user’s comfort. Let’s say you, like me, need the maximum volume of the alarm clock on your iPhone to wake up, and it is enough to limit the call to 50% because your smartphone is always with you, and this will be enough to react. But the iPhone won’t let you do this. It’s surprising why Apple programmers haven’t yet copied this feature from Android . Apparently, they are saving the next “emazing” for later.
Limit the number of Wi-Fi connections
The ability to limit the number of connections to an access point would be ideal here . You set the number of devices that can do this at the same time, and you don’t worry about anything. That’s exactly what I did on Android. Only one device can be connected to my phone at all times. If I need to bring additional information to the Internet, I simply change the value in the settings to the desired one and that’s it. A very useful feature that would definitely be useful to owners of Apple smartphones .
Status bar notifications
There is one more function on Android, without which I can hardly imagine working comfortably with notifications. You can activate the display of application icons in the status bar that have unread notifications. At one point, I even turned off icon stickers and pop-up notifications from some programs. A picture immediately appears in the status bar, and I know for sure that the application is notifying me about something.
On iPhone, sometimes I even begin to forget to reply to messages, because I see that there is nothing in the status bar. I swiped the notification with the text in order to respond a little later, and the same Telegram is not located on the first page of the desktop so I could pay attention to the sticker. Don’t think that this type of notification takes up the entire top line. By default on Android, three icons and a dot may be displayed there, which symbolizes that there are more than three applications with unread notifications.
Is it possible to disable NFC on iPhone?
Some are accustomed to the use of QR codes, which are implemented everywhere, others have linked their account to the applications of large stores and pay by simply telling the cashier about it. And some people keep their bank card under a cover or in a special pocket. And it would be very convenient to simply touch your phone to the terminal, which will read the card and make the payment. But due to the always-on NFC on the iPhone, this is impossible.
The terminal simply does not understand what to read, and more often launches a non-working Apple Pay on the iPhone, instead of recognizing a bank card and making a payment. This could easily be solved with a banal NFC switch. Don’t use Apple Payments? Turn it off and don’t worry. But Cupertino has its own opinion on this matter, and it very much does not coincide with ours.
