The greatest and most used wonder of technology today is smartphones. The idea of having a fully functional and super smart computer, small enough to fit inside a pocket is crazy. The first computer ever made used only binary codes to process information and was the size of a small room. They were also very slow and had a very small set of skills or functions.
Generation after generation we now have smartphones capable of processing an obscene amount of data in milliseconds without any problems.
These smartphones we carry with us everyday everywhere work on an operating system or OS for short. These operating systems are complex codes which allow the device to function the way it functions. There are operating systems for all the computers for example Windows and mac are two main operating systems for PC’s or laptops. The two main operating systems which are widely used all over the world for smartphones are android created by google, and iOS created by apple. While other operating systems like windows and blackberry OS exist, android and iOS are the most popular ones in the market.
There is always an ongoing debate between the customers about which OS is better and why.
While both OS are made with extreme precision they both have ups and downs.
Android offers much more power and control into the hands of the user as it allows you to change or modify most of the elements of android. It allows the user to change how the OS looks or even some parts of how it functions. There are apps that can be installed which offer way more control over the device that you’d ever get on iOS. But the downside to that kind of control is that it lacks the security of iOS and is easier to hack into. And it also allows third party or unverified apps which google does not recommend the user to install. Android devices also come in very affordable prices with some more downsides to performance etc.
iOS devices are excellent for companies because they are secure. iOS does not allow the installation of any unverified app and also gives very restricted control to the user. The area for customisation and modification is minimal. Hut provides the upside in security, Smoothness and power.
Android is designed for people who want everything to be exactly how they want it and are willing to take a risk on security and at times performance. Whereas iOS is designed for people who generally want a straight forward simple device which is powerful and secure.
Both these operating systems are good and comparing them just doesn’t feel right. While one person might like android more and another one iOS, both of them can go about their daily life equally as efficiently using either of the operating systems. Google and apple work continuously to add updates and bug fixes to their operating systems to add more features and fix the issues their respective users face. So choose the device on basis of your need and what you like and not on what opinion other people might have about the devices
