AnonD-341196, 08 Jun 2015Windows and iOS both have nearly similar features. But iOS ... moreWindows can do that?

FDE is nice but pushing WiFi profiles, etc is kind of useless to most people.

More secure maybe because iOS is just a shell and not a full fledged OS?

      Umbilical Noose, 08 Jun 2015iOS has something that Windows and Android is missing? What... moreWindows and iOS both have nearly similar features. But iOS vs Android, these are two common features which people at my work realized their Android does not support.

      - Default FDE wihthout lowering performance
      - Ability to push VPN settings/Wifi configurations/Network policies ota to devices in a BYOD environment.

      Android security is a joke compared to iOS and WP. This is due to the fact that Android is a java VM running on a linux kernel.

      WP on the other hand runs on the NT kernel which has had decades of development and thats why after a few months of use, even a 70 dollar lumia runs smoother than a flagship Android. Thats also why Android will never be secure. Case in point - Blackphone.

      iOS has tremendous attention to detail and optimization which Android simply cant match. And again, it is far more secure.

Sure, when Apple does one thing ahead of the competitors (however glitchy it might be at the beginning) it's revolutionary, but when something is done on Android first hand it's bogus...tsk tsk.

                Windows missing lot of things, android missing things which Apple already have etc.

                Continuity is great feature which im sure android and windows users hope to get, actually microsoft continuum is same kind of feature, if i understood it correctly.

                Its nice to see everyone moving to better experience.

You're as aggressive as those Jehovah's Witness people on the streets. I mean, if you're trying to "convert" people to Apple, it must really be that special for you. That's pretty amazing.

                      Windows tablets can do this since long ago in the Metro interface. As for the desktop interface, you get as many open apps as you like. How is this such an "amazing" feature now?

                      Windows tablets > iPads > Android lagblets

                      Deal with it!

In Android, especially Samsung devices, you can do this and much more. I'm not biased, but I'm just pointing out the obvious. A company releases something earlier than Apple, then, it gets called bad. On the other hand, Apple is called innovative smh

                                  What I got from this list is 'nothing new'. So Apple inevitably joins this trend along with all other oems.
