Android, developed by
Google, and the IOS, developed by apple, are the two topmost smartphone operating
systems. Both android and IOS are rivals and are battling with each other on
the smartphone market scene. Comparing android with IOS is not easy because both
the operating system has advantages as well as disadvantages. So let us discuss
the main salient features like user interface, memory and modification of both
the operating system.
User Interface
Apple maintains smooth
and simple interface of the IOS whereas android provides more options for the
user. IOS is restricted to only one brand i.e. apple whereas android is not
brand specific. Many smartphone brands use android. One of the biggest disadvantages
in an iPhone is lack of back button.
Applications
There is no denying the
fact that apple store has more applications than the android store but many
applications in the apple store are useless. Google provides freedom to the
android users in developing applications. However, this can cause various security
issues for the android users who would download these applications. There is
more number of free applications in the android store than the apple store.
Memory
Apple iPhone does not have
memory slots means we cannot expand memory of an iPhone. The memory of an iPhone
is limited to a max of 64 GB. In android, there is a slot for micro SD card. Therefore,
we can easily expand memory in an android phone.
Cost
An iPhone is more expensive
than an android phone. Price of an android phone ranges from as low as 2000rs
to a whooping 47000rs (Sony experia z). But many video sites like Twitvid and Facebook
videos which are built using the latest html5 can only be accessed using an iPhone.
Customer should choose
among android and IOS by keeping in mind the cost that he can afford and the
features which he wants in his smartphone.
