You can do that on MacOS in Chrome and Safari. It's called smart zoom. Double two-finger tap in the column you want to expand. Pinch or spread to adjust. Double two-finger tap again to reverse. It's a killer feature.
That always applies in the month Samsung releases their new model. Then historically, it goes back to the iPhones being back on top in the number 1 and 2 spots. However, those sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in July the article is referring to are being voided as Samsung is recalling all 2.5 million due to exploding batteries.
I have no ill will. All I have done is state the FACTS, as they happened. Neither the Techs at Verizon, nor my friends the iphone snobs, could show me how to do it. Next time, I’ll try it again.
Sorry. I tried the pinch and expand. It would not do it. I was flabberghasted that the Verizon Techs couldn’t help me; to the point of voiding the iphone sale, and selling me this Galaxy S-4 instead. Sorry. Those are the unvarnished facts.
My, someone is mighty touchy when anything pro-< not apple > is discussed! Almost jihadic in the defense of Cupertino...
So, in the interest of your “balance” - what does Android do right? Anything? Where does it beat iOS?
The only area I will cede superiority to Android is in personalization of the home screen, where it does shine a bit. I don't count that for much, because it makes it more difficult for one to share one's phone with others. On an iPhone, it is far more intuitive for anyone to use, because the interface remains the same, regardless of who is using it. The OS home screen is merely a launch platform and is not of much importance. It should do its job and just stay out of the way except when needed.
Consistency of operation should be more important than individualization.
Windows finally put down its collective foot and followed Apple's example to require its developers to maintain a standard on drop down menuing and even the location of the position of certain standard commands. Before that, every developer was free to use his own ideas of what the proper location for everything was.
Then Microsoft itself threw its own standards out the window when it made major changes in where normal commands were located in such important applications as Word, Excel, etc. This threw power users to the wolves. That should never happen for no good improvement in productivity, but that's what they did.
In Android, that problem still holds. There are no standards for applications.
So - no. There is nothing. You say one thing, then spend 3 paragraphs slapping it down.
So - it’s Apple. Only.
Got it!
