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.
