Which is better Iphone or Android?

If you are buying a phone and you don't know what to choose iPhone or Android, in this blog we are going to help you decide which is better for you. We are going to spot the lights at some differences that you will want to consider during the purchasing. 

Round One: Affordability

Apple always has the top of the market in terms of pricing, like iPhone X starting price of $1,000, iPhone 8 plus starts from $800 and iPhone 8 from $700. if you don't want to spend too much on these phones you have to for older versions like iPhone 6 or 6s and iPhone SE, so you can save up to $400. 

For Android, they have a lot of variety of phones, so nothing competes with Android. You can spend whatever you want depends on your needs of the phone, from the basics needs to high tech needs. for example, Google’s Pixel 2 phones and Samsung’s Galaxy Note line almost match Apple’s iPhone pricing, but there’s also a huge choice of low-cost handsets from a wide variety of different manufacturers and the platform has been deliberately optimized to run on low-end hardware. At the end round one for Android. 

Round Two: Updates

Almost all Apple's phones are running the latest IOS update version, like 90 percent of iPhone devices. Apple gives consistent and timely software updates and security patches to their customers. on the other hand, only 0.5 percent of Android devices are running the latest Android 8.1 Oreo.

Here is the breakdown of IOS software versions: 

iOS 11: 89.82 percent

iOS 10: 7.18 percent

Older: 3 percent  

The breakdown for Andriod software versions:

Android 8.1 Oreo: 0.8 percent

Android 8.0 Oreo: 4.9 percent

Android 7.1 Nougat: 8.2 percent

Android 7.0 Nougat: 22.9 percent

Android 6.0 Marshmallow: 23 percent

Android 5.1 Lollipop: 17.6 percent

Android 5.0 Lollipop: 4.8 percent

Android 4.4 KitKat: 10.3 percent

Older: 5 percent

So, round two for IOS

Round Three: Apps

Android has 3.5 million apps and IOS has 2.2 million apps, but that's not enough to know who is better in this round. IOS has been a more profitable platform for developers, so there has been a tendency for new apps to appear there first, but that is changing as Android’s market share continues to grow. Also, the Play Store has a higher percentage of free apps than the App Store, but the best mobile games still land on iOS first and they don’t always come to Android. What do you think who is going to win in this round, I will let you decide. It's your choice!

Round Four: Battery life and charging

Battery life is the most important criteria for all if it's not the most important one. It's hard to compare between both of them because with Android you have different hardware devices. However, Both Android and IOS allow you to see your battery usage

at a glance, broken down by the apps, but only Android shows an estimate of how much battery life you have left. They both offer power saving modes that can extend your battery life by limiting performance, connectivity, and other power-sapping features, but precisely how it works is generally more customizable on Android. still Android has an advantage about the fast charging capability. comparing similarly priced Android phones with iPhones, they have longer battery life and they always have fast chargers included in the box, so Android is the winner of round four.

Final Round: Customizability

Android has a lot of things to do and this is the strength of it. you can do multi windows or multitasking so you can open to apps at the same time, but not all apps work for multi-windows. easy to change the theme of your phone, add widgets and shortcuts, and even change your entire user interface with launchers. For IOS You can set backgrounds and there’s limited support for widgets, but you don’t have the same high level of customizability like android has. If you like to personalize your phone so Android is the best choice for you.

Advantages of Android operating system

Apple is a technology industry leader with a solid reputation and highly coveted products. Despite this, Android had amassed a commanding 86.2 percent of smartphone sales as of the second quarter of 2016. How did Apple’s biggest rival slip past them in the race for tech dominance? While the list is quite lengthy, here are 10 of the top reasons that so many enthusiasts choose Android over Apple.

1. Universal Chargers

Apple’s Lightning connector works on all mobile Apple devices purchased after 2012. If your Apple device is older than that, its charger won’t work on your newer device. The new Lightning connector won’t work on devices other than Apple without a Lightning to Micro USB adapter. Android, meanwhile, already uses the standardised and ubiquitous Micro USB connection for its chargers.

2. More Phone Choices

Apple enthusiasts have a limited selection of phones available for upgrades, whereas Android users have several brands of phones to choose from at different price levels.

3. Removable Storage and Battery

Increasing memory capacity in an iPhone or iPad requires a costly upgrade, but many Android devices have expandable microSD card slots. Android batteries are also removable, allowing for replacement of just the battery and not the entire phone.

4. Widgets

Widgets, or self contained programs, add functionality and flexibility to Android devices. Android has far more to offer than Apple, such as Battery Widget Reborn and Circle Launcher.

5. Better Hardware

Some Android flagship phones compete well against iPhone, with better hardware. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, for example, out muscles the iPhone 6S Plus with a faster processor, more RAM, increased battery capacity and better screen resolution.

6. Better Charging Options

Android’s fast charging is enticing enough without another added Android charging perk: wireless.

7. Infrared

Why would you be happy that your Android has infrared? Think wireless cross-device interaction, and more importantly, it can act as a TV remote.

8. More App Choices

With Android devices, you can shop for apps outside the Play Store at places such as Amazon.

9. Custom Keyboards

If you don’t like your Apple keyboard, your options are limited, whereas Android offers alternative choices such as Swiftkey.

10. Google Play Is More User-Friendly

Both the Apple App Store and Android’s Google Play offer over one million downloadable apps. However, the App Store has restrictions, such as a mandatory iTunes interface and a requirement that downloaded movies be played on Apple devices.
