Opera launches Opera Touch for new iPhones
Opera, the developer of the popular Opera Mini browser, has announced that Opera Touch, the award-winning mobile browser launched in April on Android, is now available for iPhone. It combines the high-end technology of Opera with impactful aesthetics to address the high standards and needs of iPhone users.
“We are releasing Opera Touch just in time with Apple’s new iPhone XS, XS Max and XR because we believe that our browser is the perfect one to make these new devices really shine,” said Maciej Kocemba, Opera Touch Product Manager. “Today’s new phones have big, beautiful displays, but conventional browsers are yet to adapt to this development. Our product is aimed at people who want to fully appreciate their iPhones.”
Opera is challenging the status quo
According to data from StatCounter, 95 per cent of iOS users in the US currently stick to their device’s default browser, Safari.
“We’ve witnessed this situation before with a web browser reaching a dominant market position. This slows its progress. We want to encourage iPhone users to try something new: a carefully designed browser that gives them a better web experience on their beautiful phones,” said Kocemba.
To prove our point, we have prepared a side-by-side comparison of how users go about their daily tasks such as performing a web search in Opera Touch and Safari.
Opera Touch is feature-packed with features and design solutions that make using the browser a pleasant and efficient experience –
- Fast access to search: the browser starts directly in search mode so you can find things faster
- Designed for one-handed, easy web browsing with key browser elements at the bottom
- End-to-end encrypted Flow connects multiple devices and sends images, notes, links and videos between them
- Instant Search with text and, QR/barcode search features
- Access to tabs from the Opera desktop browser on the iPhone browsers home screen
- The browser adapts to you: Your top sites will automatically be added to the browser’s home screen
