Abandon the iPhone in favor of Galaxy S4? Pros and cons

Today, the mobile market offers a huge number of different manufacturers that produce all the new smartphones. Only HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Sony demonstrated successful products that can compete with the iPhone. And that's not to mention the rest of smaller companies, which together put pressure on California corporation of phones, rather than their quality, as do the major players. In this regard, many, even the most devoted fans of iOS, want to experience new sensations - taste smartphone on Android. In addition to understanding all the intricacies of the geeks, casual users also think much to give up in favor of the iPhone Android-device.

Despite the enormous popularity and reputation as the Galaxy line of phones, it becomes increasingly clear that not only are these smart phones compete with the products of Apple. Latest hit from HTC - device called One also very good. There is also a Sony Xperia Z. And some of these products. These devices have almost caught up with the design, build quality and functionality of the flagship phone Apple. And sometimes offer even more than the last. And from all sides coming down criticism of Cupertino at the fact that a minor update in the form of «iPhone 5S» may not be enough to fully counter masthead "Google Phone". On the other hand, the issue is a revolutionary new product is fraught with Apple challenges. As a result, go to Cupertino - see.

One important user characteristics, the other - easy to use. This should depend on your choice - whether it will fall into the phone on Google-OS smartphone or Apple. Worth thinking about, what is more important - the big screen and eight cores, or positive feelings and ease of use. In Apple said that the specifications are not critical when choosing a device. Since sufficient to optimize the software to have the equipment and everything will be fine. Android-devices, in turn, often do not work very smoothly and steadily, with even the most advanced in iron. With the advent of Jelly Bean the situation is slightly better, but not that good. However, Android offers more features than iOS. One can argue only that users have the latest jailbreak.

Another argument against iOS - the big screen. Rather, it is even against the iPhone, and not iOS. Some four inches longer enough to fully experience the fun of surfing the Web or watching movies. Difficult decision for Apple to release the phone with the display more than four inches, as even with the screen of this size there are some difficulties in the use of one hand. On the other hand, HTC and Samsung continue to fill the market 4.8 - and 5-inch device. If you need a huge display - will likely have to abandon the iPhone later this year. Unless confirmed crazy rumors and the company did not release its own "smartphone."

Another point worth bearing in mind if you - a frequent user of iOS - it's services. We all know how great you can combine iPhone, iPad and Mac together with iCloud. Unsubscribe from this integration and sharing of "apple" of the ecosystem will be difficult, given that Android is not such a service. In addition, if you are used by applications such as iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, iTunes, and so on - to abandon iOS will be even more difficult. And finally, all complicated by the fact that you spent a lot of money to buy programs. Of course, if you buy an application from the App Store.

HTC changing the strategy for Apple and Samsung

HTC several times recently postponed the release of its flagship smartphone One, but in the future, the company will try to better calculate the market needs and plan manufacturing processes. In an interview with reporters, said the representative of the HTC Benjamin Ho. For the Taiwanese vendor Ho marketer is the third in the last two years.

At the request of HTC, in the near future the company intends to radically change the marketing strategy and abandon the well-known slogan «Quietly Brilliant». The company will act aggressively against competitors in the mobile market.

At a meeting with journalists Ho also showed commercials smartphone HTC One, who will have to appear on TV soon. He confirmed that the top model output delay caused by a deficiency camera modules. In addition, introduced two new devices - Desire P and Desire Q.

Analysts say that all the messages that were sent by HTC in the last few months, largely focused on investors and consumers who are pretty disappointed in the company. Ho said that HTC already increased advertising budget in two and a half times, and traditional marketing costs - twice in comparison with the figures of 2012.

Is Apple “hates jailbreak”?

The game of cat-and-mouse game between Apple and the jailbreak community has been going on for about 6 years. Every time when masters released a new version of its tools for software cracking Apple so by using the vulnerability, the latter almost immediately reacts and patches found holes in its OS, releasing a new update.

Sometimes these updates iOS go fastest. For example, to close a series of vulnerabilities that allow anyone iDevices on your iOS 6 with Evasi0n, took the guys in Cupertino just 43 days. And that's what - that's bugs, allowing service JailbreakMe 3.0 break iOS, were closed programmers do in 9 days.

This difference in response time is due primarily to the fact that the holes exploited by JailbreakMe, were much greater security risk to users than those who use tools such as Evasi0n. Recall - JailbreakMe can be executed directly from the browser on the device, thus risking almost every user with iOS 4.3.3. Evasi0n also requires physically connecting the device to your computer via USB-interface. Obviously, the security risk of this exploit is much lower.

Every time Apple release a software update, closes the jailbreak vulnerability, especially active users immediately rush to point fingers and accuse the company of unfair anti-jailbreak community. «Apple hates jailbreaking! It only makes that releases updates to kill jailbreak "- you can read the comments after the next patch. How justified such statements? Are all of the Apple based only on hatred for burglars, or the company is just trying to protect people's most advanced mobile operating system in the world?

Each released jailbreak tool - the result of enormous effort on the part of one or more masters. All this work is based on errors and vulnerabilities in the operating system that allows an attacker to exploit a security hole, and eventually build on its basis a working jailbreak-product. And, if the holes not, and can not be jailbreak.

As if they were small, these vulnerabilities represent to users iOS-device potential threat. Even if some of them do more harm, Apple just can not close it. The thing is that even these small errors can lead to larger, which attackers can exploit. This, in turn, can lead to leakage of personal data of users and is much more serious.

What are the real risks of implementing such a terrible scenario of "judgment day," when all the iPhone and iPad will be under the control of masters? Of course, minimal. But Apple did not want to take even the risk. And it is quite understandable.

So the answer to the question of this article, the prisoner of the title - "no." Apple does not hate jailbreak. I should say even more - Apple-like jailbreak community. Not only is the latter constantly throws up a lot of ideas for future versions of iOS, so also helps to strengthen the security of the system. Unfortunately, all this is to the detriment of jailbreakers. Some want to have a secure device, the other - the ability to jailbreak. You can choose for yourself one thing - security or freedom. But to accuse Apple is that it does its job of protecting the people, not worth it.

As for me - I choose freedom. I'm ready to put his device to a potential risk, in return for the new opportunities offered by the jailbreak. But I also understand Apple, release a update that closes the vulnerability and makes iGadget protected.
