The WWDC 2025, the expected World Developer Conference of Apple, will be held on June 9 and promises to be a turning point for the iPhone. iOS 19 will arrive With a deep redesign of the interface, clearly influenced by Visionos, the Operating System of the Apple Vision Pro.
Besides, Apple Intelligence It will be finally integrated into the system. However, despite these advances, there are several Android functions that Apple should still adopt if you really want to live up to it.
What lacks iOS?
With the arrival of iOS 19 around the corner, and what many users really expect Apple to finally listen to those who have not been pointing out for years. Android still has functions that IOS has not even tried to replicate with the same effectiveness. And we are not talking about minor details, but of tools that realize the daily experience with the phone. Next, we review five android functions that iOS 19 need to copy urgently.
The first, and probably one of the most frustrating for iPhone users, is the impossibility of Share audio freely with other devices. Although iOS allows you to share the sound with another pair of compatible airpods or beats, if your friend uses a bluetooth headphones of another brand, forget. In Android, connecting several audio devices is much easier, and brands such as Samsung or Huawei even allow synchronizing the sound between different mobiles. Apple's closed ecosystem returns to play against the user's experience, something against what has been fighting the European Union for some time.
Another great lack of iOS is the absence of real multitasking. Although the iPad has been allowing two apps for years at the same time, Apple resists taking this functionality to the iPhone, even in enormous screens such as the 16 Pro Max. Android has long allowed dividing the screen or using floating windows.
The iPhone must be more customizable
Nor does it help the native iOS keyboard is so limited. It is true that you can install third -party keyboards, but many users prefer to keep the officer for their integration and reliability. Even so, it lacks basic tools such as a multiple clipboard, something that Android has been including for years. The same goes for the absence of a numerical row Optional, that many would appreciate without constantly changing view.
As for personalization, another great absent is a Always-on more customizable display. Although Apple introduced it to the pro models makes some generations, it is very limited. Basically, it shows the blocking screen with less brightness, without offering interactive widgets, additional information or alternative styles. Android allows to transform this screen into a kind of control board, much more useful.
But if there is a pending subject for Apple in 2025, that is artificial intelligence. Although Apple Intelligence promises a lotthe truth is that it is late and seems to fall short in front of what already offer brands such as Google or Samsung. Siri, although improved, still does not reach the level of conversation and utility that the competition attendees already have.
Beyond these five essential functions, it would also be interesting, although utopian that iOS 19 implemented a more precise management of notifications by categories (such as Android channels), universal support and without restrictions of the RCS protocol, an estimate of battery charge time in real time or even an option to clean the cache of the applications without having to uninstall them. All of them are available for years on Android and would clearly improve the day -to -day life of iPhone users.
In short, iOS 19 has the potential to mark a before and after, but to achieve this it is not enough to redesign icons or promise to improve in the never that will never arrive. Apple needs to listen to its users, look at you to Android and dare to copy what simply works best.
