Since the mrs uses iOs and I use Android. I am gradually getting frustrated with iOS.
I am staring to notice that in non-U.S markets apple lack of organic search is becoming a real issue.
Apple's entire strategy seems to be centered around Well to do place like North America and Europe.
There are good apps in these places.
But It just seems to me that paying a Un-godly amount of money for a phone and then paying highway robbery amounts for cloud storage
is gradually getting old. and yes the battery performance of iOS devices is still impressive; but does it make it worthwhile.
I feel like Google's scale is gradually taking over.
Some of this really pertains to search functionality.
I have been testing google Now in Farsi lately. It is not perfect but it works very well to a large degree.
on Android you can configure Google now to be in multiple languages. and it really kicks siri's ass.
you can search for things in Farsi or English and it can automatically tell. (needless to say the english one is massively superior)
so far google now on iOS does not seem to support that. but even if it did
because Mobile devices are basically a massive sandbox. it does not seem like you can have google now replace
siri integration with home button.
one annoying fact of using Apple iOs is the fact that farsi is presented as sub-locale of Arabic.
which makes their keyboard a really $hitty one.
Apple thus far has been successful with iphone/appletv/macos.
but as the network effect in the rest of world starts to fade will it hurt their North American dominance.
for the love of god, the AppleTV still does not support Amazon Video.
