First of all, the horizontal sliding unlock of iPhone has been blocked by some brands and many copycat phones. We have seen the Dock that is directly copied and has four icons at the bottom on many mobile phones, and we all have serious aesthetic fatigue. However, Meizu M8 is not like this. The unique designated function unlocking, two animation effects during charging, and the absence of a four-icon Dock all allow us to see innovative ideas. We will introduce in detail the differences between Meizu M8 and iPhone in subsequent articles.

Personalized settings:

Meizu M8 and Apple iPhone have no concept of theme, and naturally they cannot change the theme. However, both the M8 and the iPhone can change the wallpaper. The iPhone has 19 built-in wallpapers, and the Meizu M8 not only supports changing the wallpaper, but also supports changing the background pattern under the main menu icon, which is called "desktop background", and the concept of "wallpaper" in the iPhone It is the "locked background" in the M8.

The "response speed" of Meizu M8 and Apple iPhone, that is, the response speed of each system, is also of great concern to most netizens. Here we once again adopted the subjective testing method, looking for five users, including professionals and non-professionals; each used the iPhone 3G and Meizu M8 for 10 minutes, and then rated the two models according to their perceived response speed, with a full score of 5 point.

The official unlocked version of Apple iPhone, such as the official Hong Kong retail version, can be easily upgraded with the help of iTunes Upgrade the firmware to the latest version without worrying about not being able to use your own SIM card. The latest iPhone 2.2 firmware is about 249MB in size, and the firmware upgrade process takes about 10 minutes. The latest firmware of Meizu M8 is 0.5.0.1 provided by the official website, which is 82.6MB in size. After copying the firmware into the body memory, you can follow the instructions on the official website to upgrade the firmware. It is not very difficult.

Screenshot method:

The Internet has fully entered the era of sharing. How to quickly share screenshots of your mobile phone with everyone is a problem that every mobile phone brand needs to face up to. For Apple iPhone, press and hold "HOME" " button and then press the "Power" button to take a screenshot is very convenient. The Meizu M8 system itself does not currently provide a screenshot method. The author uses "PocketSnapshot", a common screenshot software on Windows Mobile smartphones. We hope that Meizu M8 will have its own screenshot function in the future, which will be very convenient for users to communicate and share.

iPhone can be synchronized with PC and MAC through iTunes or third-party programs. As a Windows CE 6.0 smart device, Meizu M8 can Synchronize with Outlook through ActiveSync under Windows XP or through Windows Mobile Device Center under Vista. Generally speaking, the interaction capabilities between the two machines and the PC are equivalent, but the iPhone relies more on iTunes.
