      Literally the only things I've ever used NFC for: pairing a bluetooth speaker, pairing a audio bluetooth receiver, and *trying* to transfer a file to another android phone. It has been switched off 99.99% of the time on every phone I've owned since the Nexus 4; I just don't see much use for it in my life.

        Anonymous, 26 May 2018Of course it does. You sheeps have been living under a rock... moreno it doesn't, not yet for ios

          People should be chasing technology to advance mankind but technology should also touch base with people to make the difference.

          So what if Apple take it's time with NFC. There is nothing useful for NFC except for payment right now in Singapore. There is also QR, counter code. Unless there is a wider usage for NFC with security taken into consideration, why rush ? Evolution takes time.

            hahaboi, 26 May 2018nobody use NFC .;I am using it from 2013 with the Xperia Z and then every new Xperia flagship and all Sony's accessories

                        Apple is a joke. I have been telling my friends that at current state of mobile development, there is NO market place for a product like iPhone. Slowly they listened, the guys who bought the S8+ last year are ever so happy, lol

                          'Now they are getting a bit more access to what SpyOS had for years. Good job, Apple.'

                          Here, fixed it for you.

As an iPhone and Android user, I can say that many of the apps that I use on both platform look and behave the same with a bit of more functionality in Android ecosystem. When it comes to performance, iPhones are more fluid however, iOS is susceptible to occasional frame drops nowadays as well. Remember, don't comment based on your bias.
