Abstract: The expanding significance of Smartphone has activated surprizing competition among technology like Symbian, Google, Microsoft and Apple. This Paper exhibits a brief survey and correlation of the Android operating System from Google and iPhone operating System from Apple. The Comparison is done on the premise of their platform, their performances and the development in mobile area.
I – INTRODUCTION
Mobile Phones have turned into a part of human 's daily life. There are more than six Billions portable users in the world. Each Mobile Phones has hardware and specific programming called an operating system. There are numerous other operating system accessible and had have attempted there best but finally unsuccessful, to assemble

Some of the more common and well-known Mobile operating systems are Google’s Android and Apple’s IOS because of their Popularity we are going to talk about these two operating systems which are commonly seen in market and then compare them with each other.
1.1 Smartphones
The term ‘smartphone’ refers to a multi-functional mobile phone handset that pack in everything from a camera and web browser to a high-density display. Other key smartphone features include masses of storage space, micro SD card slots to allow you to upgrade further and intuitive touchscreen user interfaces so you can access all the great functions of the handset quickly and easily.

1.2 Smartphones’ OS :
A mobile operating system, also mentioned to as mobile OS, is an operating system for devices such as a smartphone, tablet, PDA, or other mobile devices. Mobile operating systems combine features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use.
There are many Operating Systems for smart phones.
Technology has become a huge part of everyday life, and people seem to have one great debate and are fighting over which is the best phone, iPhone or Android. The Apple iPhone is a cellular smartphone that was created and is maintained by Apple Inc. Android is another type of smartphone that is accessible to consumers, but the operating system is powered by Google and many different companies produce Android devices. The different operating systems and interfaces have created a long and carried out debate to which was superior. iPhone is the better phone and there are many reasons as to why it is superior to its rival, Android. The iPhone’s sleek and beautiful design has users’ hands fondling the device and never putting it down. The
Abstract- The usage of smart phones is increasing nowadays, so the need for mobile applications has also increased as they make the life of end users easy. Android platform is one of the platforms that make the usage and development of these applications easy. As android is open source and the development of application and its usage is easy these features make android platform one of the popular platforms for a mobile application. [Ref-4]
For many years people would debate which is the best smartphone either Apple or Android. Some people might go with Android because of the fancy look of the phone. Truth is Apple seems to be the more dominant smartphone because of the simple texture and because it’s very simple to use. In my perspective,I think Apple is really more efficient than any other Android. Android is very complex to use compared to the Iphone’s. I have 3 reasons why I think Apple is better; it’s quick and easy to use, the amount of apps , and lastly the most important the security Apple has.
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.
At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.
I must carefully consider the pros and cons of Google’s Android OS and Apple’s iOS when choosing a mobile operating system in order to find out which one is better suited for my personal day-to-day use. The Android OS enables the use of widgets, has the benefits of being an open-source OS, and provides users with unique features. Unfortunately, the Android OS suffers from huge code formatting by other software companies, contains bugs brought by a new update, and causes poor battery life. The iOS now allows for more customization, provides new safety features, and has increased the capabilities of Siri. On the other hand, the iOS no longer offers certain gestures, is vulnerable to app crashes due to the newest update, and has online storage limitations. These pros and cons will be discussed more in-depth throughout the essay.
Google’s Android Operating System in Mobile phones are still comparatively new, though, Android Operating System has been developing quite rapidly. Considered as a counterpoint IOS, Android is a chart showing a substantial development, it positively cannot be separated from supports major mobile phone constructors who contributed to bring mobile-phone operating system Android.
Smartphone can be defined to be a device that enables the user to make telephone call and at the same time has some features that allow the user to do some activities that in the past was not possible unless using a computer or a personal digital assistant (PDA),
Android operating system is used in many device such smart phone and tablets. Based on a report android in the fourth quarter of 2013 has a market share of 78.1% of all smartphone. [3] Furthermore, with the
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.
From a large and bulky mainframe that was the size of a room to a mobile phone that can fit inside your pocket, technology has progressed by leaps and bounds in the last 50 years. Operating Systems have been the cornerstone in the evolution of “computers” and have adapted to their respective user communities [1] .The advent of smartphones as we know them today begin arguably with the introduction of iPhone in 2007. We have come a long way since then. The major mobile operating systems that dominate the market today are
As the above describes Architecture, Features and some pros & cons of the Android and iOS Operating System we can analyze it by performance and Security.
