But, they suggested the following: 1. airdrop, 2. applepay, 3. sandboxing, 4. continuity, 5. handoff, Noticing that Apple users can't think outside of Apple MARKETING trademarks, we need to look at the FUNCTIONALITY that is described in the trademarks above that the Apple users propose as "functionality" that is on iOS (all by itself) that is not on Android (all by itself). We have already debunked the Airdrop ad hoc file transfer services functionality since they also abound on Android (e.g., ShareIt, FileDrop, AirDroid, Google Cast, Google Bump, Google Copresence, Beam, etc.). We also handily debunked the Apple Pay trademarked service which is just an electronic payment system, which also abounds on Android (e.g., Android Pay, Google Wallet, PayPass, Samsung Pay, Barclaycard bPay, EE Cash on Tap, V.me, etc.). What should we tackle next? Sandboxing is a special case, since the power and flexibility of Android file system access means that there is so much that the iOS user can't do with respect to the file system, redirects, direct edits, links, direct edits, saving files, saving APKs, direct copies, etc., that to say sandboxing file system access is a "functionality" is to also say that "having more complete access to the file system" is the same functionality, only implemented differently. So, that's a wash, in so much as nobody on Android would ever *want* to be so restricted as iOS users are, with respect to lack of access to the file system by themselves and all the apps. So, we'll just call sandboxing/file-system-access the two sides of the same functional coin. It's the same functionality, implemented with different philosophies. To be sure, there are pros to sandboxing, and there are utterly astoundingly huge cons, just like there are pros to having access to the file system by all apps and there are huge cons too. This isn't the thread to debate pros and cons of the file system access methods; it's merely a thread to find something (anything) that iOS does by way of functionality that Android doesn't already do. Both do file system access. So we can't count the extremely limited access to the file system on iOS as a functionality that Android doesn't have - because - there isn't anyone on Android who would *want* to have their hands tied, their feet tied, and even their fingers tied to each other, from the perspective of the apps. It's just file system access done philosophically differently. In summary, both iOS and Android have a method for file system access, where iOS is supremely restricted by design, and Android is rather open by design, which is to say they both have file system access functionality - but done entirely differently. So what we're left to look at are: a. Continuity b. Handoff
