One UI 6.1 vs iOS 18

Samsung One UI 6.1 and Apple iOS 18: A Comparison of Notable Features for Samsung Enthusiasts

Certainly! As an Android fan, you’ll be interested in the key differences between One UI 6.1 (Samsung’s latest interface) and the upcoming iOS 18 (Apple’s next major iOS version). Let’s fight! :

  •  Always on Display (AOD) Wallpaper:
    • One UI 6.1: Finally, AOD gets a much-awaited feature! Users can now display wallpapers on their lock screens. Unfortunately, this feature is exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series and won’t come to older devices via the One UI 6.1 update¹. But the normal one almost major model has it.
      – iOS 18: While there’s no direct equivalent to AOD in iOS, Apple might introduce new lock screen customization options. However, it’s unlikely to match the flexibility of Samsung’s AOD. Maybe there is in the 14s and 15s but still it dosen’t reach the way how samsung produces.

 

  • Camera Sharing:
    •  One UI 6.1: Samsung lets you use your Samsung smartphone as a webcam for your Galaxy tablet. A handy feature for video calls and conferences.
      – iOS 18: Apple hasn’t explicitly announced this feature, but they might enhance FaceTime capabilities or integrate better with macOS devices.

    • iOS 18:
      Reports suggest Apple will go big on AI. Expect features like summarizing webpages in Safari, inspired by Samsung’s Browsing Assist.
