Google’s Product Page for the new Pixels oddly fails to mention Android 12
What makes this decision not to promote Android on the new Pixels even stranger is that it is the software experience that consumers think of when they choose the new Pixels over the new iPhone models. Google is amazing when it comes to adding features to Android that make the Pixels more useful than the iPhone. Truthfully, many find iOS boring and those choosing to buy a new Pixel over the iPhone are doing so for one reason-when it comes to software Apple cannot compete with Google.
Time to get the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro
Live Text is the most Google-like feature added to the iPhone this year
It’s not that the iPhone doesn’t have a useful new tool in Live Text. As Apple describes it, the feature can “copy and share text, open websites, compose emails, and make phone calls from text that appears within the camera frame.” For example, iPhone users can easily tap on a picture to call a phone number on an image or tap to send email to an email address printed on a business card. Live Text is the most Google-like new feature added to iOS this year and can be extremely useful.
But the jury is out on Focus although the premise of the feature is simple enough. Tell the iPhone your status and once selected, notifications from apps that might distract you from completing your tasks are blocked. And you can customize the people and apps that are blocked from contacting you regardless of your current status.
For example, if you tell the iPhone that you are working, you can set up your handset to block calls and notifications from contacts that are not associated with your work. Ditto for notifications from apps that you might use when off the job.
We wonder how many iPhone users are actually using what is essentially a version of Do Not Disturb on steroids. We also are curious to know whether you would find Focus more useful or the Pixel’s “Hold for Me.”
