subject: Android Vs Iphone Which One To Buy? [print this page] Whenever you opt to buy a phone, the first question that rises in your mind is which phone to buy? You just cant go to the shop, pick up any phone and pay for it. If you are planning to buy a Smartphone, then the first thing you might think about is the brand. Which brand of Smartphone should I buy? There are many, including Samsung, Nokia, HTC, and Apple. All of them, except Apple are android powered Smartphones, whereas Apple is powered with its own system. Here, we will throw some light on the differences between these two platforms, so that you will have a better glance about which one is better so that you can choose between both of them.
The first difference between both the phones is of the hardware-software compatibility. So far, Apple has limited all its devices to a certain number of software that it could use. This ensures that each software is tailored and personalized according to the hardware. This is because all of the Apple devices are almost same, so the software will always be compatible with the hardware. However, when it comes to Android, it is a platform or Operating system that was produced regardless of the specifications of different phones. Often, with small phones which cannot bear the burden of Android, gets freeze or crashed frequently, and sometimes, they may be unable to support specific applications. Here it is iPhone, which takes away the victory.
The second thing is that all the software keep updating on daily basis. New technologies are being developed and implemented regularly. Same is the case with mobile OS. There are constant updates of Mobile OS, in the shape of new versions. Apple users are quickly updated about the change, and they upgrade their phones Operating system. Meanwhile, with Android, the situation is particularly different. Android software is hard to find, download and install in to the mobile. Partly, it is the hand of Android developers because of which many Android users are deprived of the new software. So here also, iPhone wins a major.
Another factor is the App market. Apple has an overwhelmingly huge app market, with more than 425000 apps, compared to just 250000 apps of Android market. However, Apple does not just wins by this. Apples apps are all designed for the specific apple products, so they run perfectly on them, while Android apps are generally available for all the phones with the same feature. This deprives some phones of the ability to run applications.
Another most important factor is the screen size. The Apples iPhone screen stretches just to 3.5 inches, and is available in no more bigger sizes. However, it has the retina display feature, which makes watching more worthwhile. But if you look for big screens, you can surely find it in the Android phones. The biggest screen size in Android phone is 5.3 inches (Samsung Galaxy Note). So here, Android is the winner. So far, we have discriminated these two phones, on the basis of the most important categories. Do not just look on the phone with more benefits. Instead consider your priorities first and buy a phone accordingly.
