All eyes will be on Apple Wednesday, and on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus that everyone expects the company to announce. Now more than ever, Apple has the advantage to win back on-the-fencers who are as open to an iPhone as they are to a whole chorus of Android phones.

Why? Because Samsung just recalled its latest iPhone opponent, the Galaxy Note 7, over a battery flaw, and because Google hasn’t announced its latest Nexus successors (the rumored “Pixel” phones are said to be coming in October). That puts the iPhone in a position of strength and opportunity — if they can meet some of the top features found in Android rivals.

• Battery life: An iPhone typically goes dark before several of the longer-lasting Android phones. Longer battery life would help boost Apple’s case.

• Wireless charging: Samsung phones support native wireless charging right now (in addition to standard wired USB charging) and it’s extremely convenient. Wireless charging is a premium feature that would give buyers open to switching one more reason to stay. (Sure, you can use dongles in coffee shops like Starbucks, but trust me, it isn’t the same.)

• Waterproofing: Found on high-end Sony and Samsung phones — and even some ultracheap Moto phones — water-resistance seems like a gimme for a company like Apple that prides itself on its hardware construction. It would buy phone owners peace of mind if they spill a glass of water, or if the phone’s on the receiving end of an especially effective pool-time cannonball.

• Better camera quality: Apple’s iPhone cameras are consistently top-notch, but that doesn’t mean they’re the absolute best in every scenario. More and more Android phone makers employ hardware and software to increase manual control, add effects as well as filters and dominate low-light photography. Samsung’s 2016 Galaxy phones are as good or better than the iPhone 6S/6S Plus, by most accounts. Apple needs to bring it.

• VR and AR: Virtual reality isn’t mainstream by a long shot, but Google has thrown down the gauntlet with its Daydream platform. Yes, third-party apps — like the recent Pokemon Gophenomenon — have introduced the masses to augmented reality in a big way. And Apple CEO Tim Cook is on the record as being very interested in the technologies. But it’s time for Apple to capitalize on both trends.
