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.

Drag-and-drop support for content
