While smartphones were becoming widespread, they also brought out the contention. This conflict is between iOS and Android. Android and iOS users are discussing which operating system is better for a few years now. In this article, both Android and iOS will be compared in terms of technical feature and users experiences.
Most of Android and iOS user think these operating systems are different. But these two are functionally similar operating systems. Generally, they provide applications for users needs. However, user interfaces are different in terms of simplicity and customization.
Differences Between Android and iOS Interface:
Android offers a customizable interface. The main screen, lock screen and menus can be customized with a wide variety of themes. Widgets can be placed on the Home screen. Apart from these, many customizations can be made. On the other hand, iOS puts itself in the foreground with simplicity. Users can not make too many changes in the interface.
Android Play Store and iOS App Store:
If we Compare application stores, iOS looks ahead. Applications in the App Store are more secure because of Apple's tight control. Google does not apply strict controls on the Android Play Store, so harmful content is more likely to come to the smartphone. App store has 1.5 million apps as of February 2016. Android Play Studio has 1.6 million apps.
Android allows apps to be installed from outside the store. iOS does not allow this process. This is only possible for iOS if Jailbreak is applied. Jailbreak can sometimes cause problems with iPhones and the device is out of warranty.
Developers are required to pay $ 99 per month to publish an App store application. On the other side, developers are required to pay $25 per month to publish a Play store application.
Android and iOS Operating System:
While Android smartphones have a wide range of prices, the iPhone is usually fixed and expensive in price. In terms of price / performance, Android devices are ahead of iOS devices.
From a technical point of view, a new generation of Apple devices uses a 64 bit Arm based A processor. Ram is 1 GB on most models, but the latest version of the iPhone 6s has been upgraded to 2 GB.
The 12MP camera in 6S can capture video at 4K resolution. On Android devices, Quallcom's Arm-based Snapdragon series processors are usually used. The RAM is usually 2-4 GB, depending on the device. The Android operating system uses more RAM than iOS. IOS devices are better than Android devices in terms of performance
Android is an open source operating system. IOS's source code is confidential. When using Android Linux Kernel, iOS uses XNU (X is not UNIX) kernel developed by Apple.
On Android, applications are generally written in Java. IOS uses Swift or Objective-C languages.
As a result, Android and iOS have more advanced features than each other. While Android users are freer, iOS users offer a simpler interface. Many devices in technology market can use the android operating system. But devices using IOS are only Apple (IPhone, IPad, and IPod Touch) products.
