In fact, that bump gesture can start a whole world of sharing between iPhones.

Lets have Galaxy owners bumping into each other.

In fact, lets make it exclusive to Galaxy owners, no other Android fans allowed.

That would be a very Apple thing to do, and Android isnt about that.

Its firm, light, and looks very cool in every anodized color.

The mute switch on the iPhone 15

It would be an easy way to one-up Apples base model iPhone 15.

Also, Im getting tired of glass on both sides of my phone.

No matter how strong that glass may be, its still glass.

Okay, it doesnt exist.

Somake the phone out of titanium!

Check in before you go for a run alone, or on a first date.

iOS 17 features including Check In and Lockdown Mode

The benefits are obvious.

If you didnt know that Android already had a check in feature, Ive proven my point.

Check in should be a key feature in phones moving forward, and it should work across platforms.

Samsung should add this to the Galaxy S24 as soon as possible if its not already there.

A mute switch, not another button

Heres an opportunity to eat some of Apples lunch.

Apple took the mute switch off the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I dont have a mute switch.

The OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Open brought it back.

A mute switch inspires passion among fans!

Im here for it.

Samsung pioneered the always-on displayon smartphones, and itsOLEDscreens could handle the feature before fancyLTPO displayscame along.

Hopefully, well see it on the next Galaxy S24.

Call screening so I can listen and decide to answer

Applebrought back the answering machine with live voicemail.

Its like the 80s all over again.

Its also a great way to screen calls, especially from people you care about.

Samsung should make this a part of its phone app, but lets be careful about adding AI features.

We dont need a robot or a phone that answers in my voice.

Keep it simple, but get it here fast.

Definitely no Samsung Journal app, thanks!

Samsung has PenUp, a social connection for artists based around the S Pen-enabled devices.

Its actually a rather fun and vibrant community.

If youve never heard of PenUp, once again Ive proven my point.

There are too many apps, too many to keep track.

Okay, Samsung, Ill make you a deal.

you might add one new app for every three apps you remove.

We already have those former apps from Google, and they sync with our Google account on Android.

No need for duplicates.

Then I would accept a Samsung Journal app.

Who knows, it might be as good as PenUp.

If we toss some of the junk apps, well have space to try new things.
