The criticism between Apple and Android goes back a long way. Although this sometimes leads to heated debates on the part of users, it must be said that Apple and Android have been copying each other for a very long time and there is nothing wrong with that. A similar situation occurs in the new iPhone 15 series. Here are five basic features that Apple didn’t have before, but Android has been using for a while:3D video recording: HTC Evo 3D
The once popular smartphone manufacturer HTC was a company that made shocking innovations for the industry in its heyday. HTC Evo 3D, the first phone to introduce 3D video recording on the Android side in 2011, received limited attention at that time due to technological limitations. The concept of 3D video and 3D picture was very interesting at that time, but it seems that Apple’s Spatial Recording, which came with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, can make this feature mainstream.USB-C: Le 1 and Le 1 Max
The biggest “surprise” of this year for many people was that the iPhone 15 came with a USB Type-C port. Apple introduced an iPhone with a connector other than the Lightning port for the first time since 2012. Although all this happened thanks to the pressure of the EU, the Android world has been using the USB-C port for a long time. USB-C, which we first saw in LeEco’s Android phones called Le 1 and Le 1 Max in 2015, has since become a standard for Samsung, Xiaomi and others.Titanium frame: Essential PH-1
The first Android phone to bring a titanium frame to a smartphone was the Essential PH-1. In 2017, the Essential PH-1 was the most stylish looking device of its time. Essential Products, which produces the device, was created by Android co-founder Andy Rubin. However, the life of the company was short-lived. The brand rights of the company, which was closed in 2020, were purchased by Carl Pei’s Nothing initiative in 2021. Titanium frame is not something we see very often. Titanium is not only stronger than stainless steel, but it is also lighter and has better corrosion resistance properties. Meanwhile, there are numerous rumors that the Galaxy S24 Ultra will also have a titanium frame.Periscope camera: Huawei P30 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max comes with a periscope zoom camera that works better than a standard zoom camera in terms of image quality and detail preservation. This feature is widely used on most high-end Android phones, including the Huawei P30 Pro released in 2019. With the new periscope camera, the optical zoom of the iPhone 15 Pro Max will provide better results.Customizable button: Galaxy S8
With the Galaxy S8 series, Samsung introduced the Bixby button, which activates its virtual assistant when a button is pressed. Sometime after launch, the button became customizable and was used to open the camera or an app other than Bixby. Although there has been no Bixby or similar button on Samsung devices since the Note 10 series, the iPhone 15 Pro now has an Action button with similar functions.
