It is no secret that iPhones tend to inspire other brands for their next releases, we have seen it on countless occasions and also many others in the opposite direction. This makes us consider all those technologies and changes that we have seen in the iPhone 12, which can be copied in the Android phones of 2021 , a year that will have innovation beyond this.
The most popular copies of the iPhone on other phones have been seen in a more “scandalous” way on Xiaomi phones, which are not afraid to even imitate their software. We could also see it with the popular notch, which to the delight of many stopped being a trend. What was that big change in the iPhone 12 that so many others will copy?
The charger disappears from the box
What has given the most talk since the launch of the iPhone 12 was more than an innovation, a lack and is that the firm Apple decided to eliminate the charger, explaining that it is a movement not to damage the planet more. Intentions are something to value, although many doubt that this will help minimally the great problem of climate change, among others.
Whether it works or not, other brands would already be considering following in their footsteps and the charger would not be in the unboxings of many mobiles in 2021 . Surely not everyone follows this trend, especially seeing how they used social networks on many occasions to make fun of this movement. However, it is more than likely that we will have to get used to keeping the charger of our previous mobile or buying an alternative one.
“Mini” phones in the Android landscape
A new model has made its appearance among the iPhone 12, Apple’s smallest model in 2020 that tries to maintain the current aesthetic but in a reduced format. For now it is too early to know if it will be a sales success, although coming from Apple they are expected to have an important market, which would mean that in 2021 we will see Android Mini phones that reach 5.5 inches at most . Apparently Xiaomi is already working on its own small smartphone, but we do not know if it will be others like Samsung or Huawei who dare to imitate it.
Straight frames, a new change of course
It took a lot for manufacturers to create fully curved frames to improve the grip of smartphones in the hands and even Apple put aside its more classic design, but with the iPhone 12 the technique seems to have changed. These include frames that go back to the past , where straight geometric shapes regain their charm.
This would be what possibly least attracts attention, since we have become accustomed to living with curves that try to expand the possibilities and without forgetting the important mention of folding mobiles. The straights seem to go back to the past, but we do not rule out that some manufacturers will opt for this type of design for next year.
Not everything is copied, there are technologies that arrive late and badly
Although MagSafe technology seemed like a breakthrough, it is one of those innovations that makes us doubt its success. Comparing it with wireless charging, we have seen that it does not reach the speeds that are achieved in many other Android phones without the need for a magnet. In addition, its continued use can leave marks on the covers and on the phones themselves.
