Dear iPhone users, it's time to stop living in the past




   On September 7th, Apple announced the iPhone 7, probably one of the least anticipated iPhones to date.  iPhone users think that Apple has broken new ground and made amazing advancements.  I would have to agree... if it were 2012.  Prior to its release, iPhone 7 was already behind it's competition in every category.  Today (October 4) Google announced their own made phone called Google Pixel.  Less than a month later, Google makes it's first phone without the assistance of companies such as HTC, Huawei, LG, or other companies, and its specifications blow the iPhone out of the water, and for a fraction of the price.  They also know that Apple users are getting tired of the lack of advancements and have included an adapter in every box to help iPhone users switch to the Pixel seamlessly (pictured above.)
   But what about the dual lens camera??  Surely no one has ever done that before!  This is often how blind iPhone users are.  Dual lens cameras have been around for around a decade, but dual lens isn't a necessity for a good camera.  The Samsung S7 scored an 88 on DxOMark standards when the iPhone 7 has an 86, and the Samsung S7 only has one lens.  The newly announced Pixel phone received an 89 on the same DxOMark tests, the highest rating for any smartphone, a score higher than that of $6000 DSLR cameras!  Why can't Apple keep up?
   Devout iPhone users need to have a reality check.  Fact: 8 years ago, Apple was on the forefront of mobile technology and innovation, but that comes in large part due to the fact that they were the first players in the game.  IPhone users need to accept the fact that those who started leading the industry don't always end that way, as is the case with Apple.  For iPhone users who are looking for a still easy-to-use phone with powerful processing abilities, an amazing camera, with a much much better alternative to the sad excuse for an assistant that Apple calls Siri, AND for a fraction of the price, try the Google Pixel, or really ANY Android phone made within the last 3 years.  And don't worry, Google has a better alternative to your iMessages, Apple Music, iTunes, facetime, or anything else that Apple selfishly refuses to make available outside of iOS.  Just Google it.
