There are only a few
things Apple offers in the iPhone that you can’t also find in an Android. For a
while there, Apple had a good thing offering the only real competition to
Blackberry in the smartphone market and providing the newest technology out
there. Unfortunately for Apple, competitors are starting to catch up. Android,
for example, is working on a deal right now with Audi to catch up with Apple.
Google may not be left behind for much longer after all.
Apple iPhone Features With Cars
Some cars have
already integrated Siri into their system. It is really convenient to be able
to talk to your car to ask for directions or get answers without having to pick
up your phone. This is especially true while driving because it is dangerous
and distracting to try and use your phone while on the road. Unfortunately,
Siri is the only compatible voice recognition service that does this so far,
and that means only your iPhone will work with the car. It is just one more
reason to choose iPhone over all the competitors. At least, it is for now.
Deal With Android And Audi
Android doesn’t ever
want to get left behind, which means working hard to catch up right now. That
is why Audi and Android started talks to hopefully make Android compatible with
cars in the future. Though the capacity of the relationship between Google and
Audi has not yet been released, it is clear that they want to work to put more
Android phones into your cars, according to Digital Trends.
The Good And The Bad
With every move,
especially when companies start working together, there is the good and the
bad. In this partnership, the good news is that both parties are getting
something. Android has a chance to catch up to Apple and possibly even one-up
the iPhone. And Audi will probably increase sales with a big name such as
Google associated with it. Everyone wins when there is a combination so great
as this one. However, it could also be damaging to Audi. If Audi only offers
Google phone compatibility, then people with the iPhone won’t want to buy an
Audi vehicle. The Apple market is huge, and it wouldn’t be wise for any company
to purposefully push iPhone users away from their product. Google might
struggle too, if Android’s voice recognition technology isn’t up to speed and
people are using it on a regular basis in their vehicles. It could force
Android to make updates and changes quickly without proper testing, leading to
unhappy customers and incomplete products.
Infotainment Systems
Our society is built
on entertainment, even in our cars. We have infotainment systems that, for the
most part, we just control on our own right now. But if you have an iPhone and
Siri-compatible vehicle, you can have your phone do it for you. And if you have
an Android, you may soon get a chance to have your phone work with your car to
keep you entertained.
