Android vs. iOS: Feature Comparison Introduction The intent of this analysis is to define the differences between the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems, in addition to discussing the newest features for each. The Pros and Cons of each operating system are discussed, in addition to a chart of relative market share on smartphone and tablet PCs. In addition to relative market share, the number of application downloads will also be shown. Analysis Of Differences Between Android And Apple iOS Mobile Operating Systems The most significant differences between these mobile operating systems is the design philosophy of each, with Apple choosing a closed architecture, and Google with Android, open. This design philosophy is the catalyst of differences between Android and iOS operating systems. The next most significant difference is Android being based on the popular open source kernel Linux while Apple built iOS on OS X operating system (Manikas, Hansen, 1294). Additional differences include Android offering the kernel, user interface and standard baseline applications all as open source, configurable by developers. Another difference is the level of configurability and customization that is supported on Android relative to iOS as exemplified by the open Application Programmer Interface (API) structure that Google has constructed for Android (Puliyenthuruthel, et. al.). The decision by Google to make Android an open architecture-based mobile operating system has
The functionality of the iPhone’s operating system is so smooth and advanced, it out performs Android operated device. Apple’s innovation and creativity has helped it to become the best mobile operating system on the market, “Because Apple makes both the hardware and the operating system for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, everything is designed to work
HTC faces stiff competition with Apple and Samsung. Apple’s iPhone is considered as the benchmark of the industry and operators such as Spring is willing to pay $15.5 billion dollars to Apple just to have the right to sell iPhone. These demonstrates the popularity and the strength of iPhone. Furthermore, Apple’s iOS has much higher number of application downloads and higher revenue for the developers than the Android system. This signifies that developers with limited resources might only release their newest application for iOS. This is shown through the number of available apps for iOS against Android, with iOS having around 200,000 more apps than Android. This makes iOS more attractive than Android to the consumer. This in
When Apple first released the first iPhone is had a basic set up for their users to understand the software, ever since the first iPhone became famous every iPhone after that has had the same basic structure of software, but after every new iPhone they release they also improve the speed processor and other problems they find with the latest model iPhone (under the hood).. A pro to the iPhone that had everyone waiting overnight for is the Apple 's iMessage, which allowed the carrier to see when their message was delivered and read by the receiver (under the hood). That was something Android and any other smartphone didn 't provide, it was the new and improved.
In the most recent market analysis from the NPD Group, iOS has assumed control of 43 percent of smartphone sales. The analysis further shows the market for basic phones has dwindled and that the cell phone market is fast becoming a smartphone market. The demand for anything other than smartphones is evaporating. This push toward high-end smartphones is helping not only Apple, but also Google and Samsung, which are benefiting from the desire of consumers to carry these all-powerful ‘mini’ computers in their pockets. With the connectivity these smartphones present, users are never left ‘out of

Apple’s is quite the story. Most people don’t realize this, but Apple has been around for decades.
The two most popular phones, Android, and iPhone do you have one? People like to talk about the differences between both devices. For example, how Android has more buttons then iPhone, or how iPhone has a better display, or even how Android may be cheaper in price. Both devices are amazing in their own way and are something people find very hard to live without including myself. We live in a world where these two devices have become the most talked about the way of communicating with one other.
If you are a dedicated iPhone consumer you must realize that you have basically bought the same phone over and over again. It is time to trash the iPhone and get a new Android. Although Apple’s tyrannical iPhones took the cake by far in the beginnings of the smartphone revolution, Google Android soon came in to assert its dominance over the now pathetic iPhone, much like an omega-wolf taking down an alpha-wolf to become the new leader of the pack. With Android’s wide variety of smartphones, like the well-known Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, consumers have more options than ever. Also, the Android phones themselves are unequivocally better when it comes to customizability. On Apple’s part, software features are severely lagging; Whereas,

In today’s society cellular devices are not only popular in the United States, but in many other countries worldwide. Not only do cell phones contribute to one’s personal life, but business use as well. Most people have hectic lives, and using a device to help schedule appointments, send out mass text messages, or even remind you to call back your boss, is unimaginably convenient. Cell phones within the past five years have reached mile stones compared to the phones used back when cell phones were first invented. Even though there is still a diverse range for cell phones on the market, the two most popular brands seem to create an argument on choosing the right phone, Apple and Android. Each with impressively fast processors, and new
With everything going on in the world it is laughable how people are constantly arguing over whether the Android beats the iPhone or vice versa. For a numerous amount of years, iPhones and Androids have competed for the prestigious title of the best phone a person could buy. Although iPhones and Androids share similar features, when a sense of competition is presented, there has to be only one winner. There are some people who are undoubtedly loyal to the iPhone and there are others who are certainly devoted wholeheartedly to the Android. There is also the mix of people who have an Android but love the iPhone and people with the iPhone who love the Android. Of course they are other phone brands out there other than the illustrious iPhones and Androids. The difference in Android and iPhone features, such as communication, freedom, apps, display size, etc., demonstrates how some good healthy competition could cause people all around the country to debate with one another on a daily basis.

Smartphones offers diverse benefits which lead majority of population to invest in it. Smartphones are not only limited to youth but it has something to offer for a person of every age.

Android and iOS are the two most popular Operational Systems (OS) for mobiles. Together, they dominate the Smartphone market all over the world. IOS, Apple 's operating system, is responsible for the production of the iPhone and iPad, and these companies are operating and dominating the market for a long time. However, Google’s Operation System is used by trustful and famous brands such as Samsung and Motorola, and has won smartphone users since 2008. Moreover, new users are unsure of which smartphone system is better to buy: Android or IOS? While these systems bear some evident similarities, Android and iOS have striking differences which can be crucial for new mobile users.
