When Apple appear wireless charging for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, Samsung users charge acquire been abrading their heads. The South Korean tech behemothic included wireless charging as accepted in its Galaxy S6 range, which debuted in 2015.
Not to say it's not a acceptable accession to Apple's ambit but the tech abaft Qi charging isn't absolutely groundbreaking.
3. Bezel-less display
You acquire to duke it to Apple on this one, the iPhone X affectation has almost annihilation but screen. Don't bother accusatory about the notch, we all apperceive it has to be there to abode components.
But for all the iPhone X's glory, Samsung afresh exhausted it. When the Galaxy S8 launched beforehand this year, it was accompanied by the tagline "unbox your phone" (along with some abundant viral marketing). And, damn, did it wow the apple with automated design.

And aloof as a ancillary note, baptize attrition (IP67) was included on the Samsung Galaxy S5 all the way aback in 2014. And yes, that buzz had a headphone jack.
One added thing, it's a abashment Apple hasn't switched the lighting anchorage to a USB-C port. It already absolutely committed to the move on Macbooks, so why didn't it for the iPhone? Samsung and Google are on board.
5. The home button
No, the Samsung Galaxy phones no best acquire a home button. But they do acquire a agenda one.
Apple has accomplished into barter for years the accent of a home button. So, what, now we're aloof meant to acquire it wasn't absolutely that needed? The new bash action works able-bodied (after some accepting acclimated to), but it does beg the catechism why Apple couldn't accommodate a agenda adaptation on screen.
