8 things that iPhones can do, Android phones can't

It has been a few months since Apple rolled out its iOS 11 for iPhone and iPad devices. The latest version is already running on 65 percent devices, according to latest numbers. In between these months, the firm has also launched a few maintenance updates in these past few months. The latest to arrive in beta testing is iOS 11.3, which strongly focuses on the iPhone's battery and processor performance. So, how does it stand against Google's newest Android version, Android 8.1 Oreo? iOS does have an upper hand when it comes to features. Here are some of them.

New video format saves space

While Android users can just shoot a video and can do nothing to compress it in order to keep the quality intact and also save space at the same time, Apple has made it possible with iOS 11. The OS version brings a new format to record videos – HEIF/HEVC that maintains the quality and takes less space as well.
