1. Messaging on WhatsApp
If you were thinking of switching from an Android smartphone to an iPhone, one of the challenges you must have encountered is in the popular WhatsApp chat app.
Today WhatsApp allows you to easily transfer your messaging database from iPhone to Android device, but if you own an Android smartphone and want to emigrate to the world of Apple, you will have a hard time doing so, even if you try to use paid solutions that will not always work for you.
2. Passwords
We all day use different services that require a password to access them.
There are all kinds of fingerprint or facial recognition solutions, but in the end, we need to remember full passwords or use the apps that will store the passwords we invented.
3. Smartphones
Every year the cellular manufacturers announce new smartphones, some of which are expensive flagship devices and some of which are sold at more sane prices, which unites all these devices, that they innovate almost nothing.

4. Version updates The
Android smartphones we use require annual version updates to their operating system.
Most manufacturers take the time and some more time, until they update our devices, which prevents us from getting all the innovations (this problem is not relevant to iPhone owners).
5. Voice Assistants
Overseas Voice assistants are the hottest thing.
You can easily operate smart homes with them, ask questions and even listen to incoming messages and answer them without hands while driving.
Unfortunately, the giant companies Google and Amazon, have not yet decided that Hebrew speakers should also join this revolution (although in the last year we are seeing signs that Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are starting to learn Hebrew).
6. Generation 5
assured us that mobile generation in Generation 5 will change our experience of using smartphones, but it has not yet occurred.
The 5th generation layout is still not everywhere and even though it does exist, in most cases the browsing speed is not really fast and sometimes even slow.

7. Vacuum cleaners
Recently, we have been surrounded by many advertisements for cordless vacuum cleaners, which can also be used to wash the house.
Some of them know how to do a good wash, but their maintenance is more cumbersome than the action of washing the floor itself.
8. Netflix with low quality
Netflix is the most popular streaming service provider in the world and it offers a variety of content that suits every viewer, the problem is that it is also a champion at cost prices and also offer you a basic package in SD broadcast quality, which should have disappeared.
It's time for Netflix to get rid of low resolution broadcast quality and offer only Full HD or 4K content.
9. Many streaming services
to Israel The streaming services revolution has come in part, mainly Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV Plus, but there are many other services in the world, for example, Disney +, HBO +, HULU and Paramount +.
Why is it a problem that there are too many streaming services?
The result today, that in order to enjoy most of the series we are interested in watching, one has to make many subscriptions or connect and disconnect from a different service each time.
Gone is the time when most of our content was in one place.

10. Lots of health information from the smartwatch Smart
watches are a great thing, which allows us at a glance to view the information available on the smartphone.
Technology makers are trying to persuade us to buy the watches by collecting health information that should help us improve our longevity, but at least today, for the simple user, all this information does not mean too much and it seems that all heart rate, sleep and oxygen levels are used more. Marketing persuade us to purchase a watch, instead of giving us a true interpretation of our health status.
