Six Things You Can Do on Android That You Can’t on an iPhone (ndtv.com)

"1) Smarter calling, and messaging" This is app specific.

"things like the ability to download torrents, which is near impossible to do on an iPhone."

"2) Backup to Google Photos in the background" So what?

"3) Run two apps at once" So what?

"4) Record phone calls This is yet another thing that you can’t do on an iPhone - record phone calls." Yes, you can, and it's not a huge kludge like he indicates.

I suspect most people don't care about this. "Lastly, and this is just a pet peeve, for clearing notifications on an iPhone, it’s a two-step action - a swipe and tap on the ‘clear’ button. Just imagine the number of times you have to do this daily. "

No it's not. Long press "Clear" and bam, they're gone.

Now I'm reminded why I usually just skip articles like this.


POPUP


Does the pop up prevent you from reading the article? I had no problem with mobile Safari.

If there's a discussion you'd like to have regarding pop ups, please post something more substantive than POPUP.

You comment a lot on pop ups and paywalls. The HN position on paywalls is well-documented.
