Android vs iOS

[aafi1987]

I have heard that there are plenty of applications that are available on iOS app store but not available in Android app store. is it true? and which is better iOS or Android?

 

[garyk]

Probably and vice versa.

They both used to be good. Sadly they now go the way of dekstop OSes, new releases every year with features no-one needs or wants that make perfectly functional hardware obsolete because they have become bloated code wise.

Most of the top application developers create apps for both OS environments. On the other hand, small developers might not have enough manpower to build apps for both. So they create their preferred environment.

Both iOS and Android have their advantages and disadvantages. It is you who should decide which one suits you most. Don't listen to anyone as most of us are biased.

It is true that there is a difference between iOS and Android app ecosystems. Better or worse are relative perspectives - all depends on what apps you are going to use.

When choosing an operating system, an important factor to consider is that Android is used by many different phone manufacturers, whereas iOS is only used by Apple.

Most of the popular apps are multi-platform. However there are iOS-only apps and Android-only apps (considerably more iPhone-only apps than Android-only). Switching between iOS and Android may require purchasing apps again.

Both are Good but it depends on you, on your budget, on your demand. But it is always a conflict to choose which one is best when you want to buy the mobile phone. Higher prices Android phones are much better but the cheaper one has the heating problem hanging problem etc. iPhones also have the hardware problems. If we are talking about battery life than Android phones are better. If we talking about the Apps, OS compatibility, Gaming, Support, User Experience then iPhone is better than Androids.
As you said there are plenty of applications that are available on iOs store, it is true but it doesn't mean Android do not have more application, the problem is there in Android application is with the free applications and that are easily available on play store.
So if you want to choose between iOs and Android then iOs is better but more costly but it has the features and quality and the Brand name. So the choice is yours and Android is also a good option.

If it's games and social media apps you want you'll have to decide which platform provides most of your favourites. If it's business apps you want bring Windows phone into the mix. Buying a Windows phone means you get high levels of functionality for less bucks. However, you wont get the range of game apps that the other two provide.

Adding more and more apps to any phone inevitably brings the burden of more and more updates for the phone to stay current. This also means that more and more bandwidth is consumed by update downloads.

All three platforms will handle business connectivity and collaboration. Google Apps and Microsoft OneDrive, and in the paid for area, G-Suite and Office 365, run seamlessly on Android, IoS and Windows Phone.
Microsoft Flow and Power Apps allows you to create your own apps (code free) that link to Google and/or Microsoft cloud services.

It comes down to the price you want to pay and the functionality you want. There is also the kudos attached to being able to flash the latest phone around.

I phone make you more productive than an Android phone

which iPhone do you have Asfa?

Apple has introduced features in iOS 11, which are already familiar to Android users. Android O, on the other hand, continues to expand its strengths, which iOS users have to do without.

 

[RobertN]

Again apple and android fans? Both does the same job to be honest but app stores and apps are different of course

 

[Chris Ashdown]

Androide do not need any approval where as i understand Apple aps do have to meet a specification

Both the App Store and Google play are so mature at this point that you're unlikely to find any big-name apps in one store that isn't also in the other store as well. Plus, the tech exists these days to create apps in a universal way, so that they can be built/published/ported to either iOS or Android platforms, or both.

I work on a macbook pro but have always used android phones and tablets as i prefer the more open and expandable ecosystem on android... thats just me though.

I've found most apps worth having are available on both platforms these days... years ago android was defiantly inferior in terms of decent apps but the gulf has been bridged pretty much.

This. I've used both the iPhone and Android but have never had an issue finding an app I need. Some startups do launch on a single platform (it's a toss up between iOS and Android) but anything successful is soon replicated to both. I prefer Android personally but both are great platforms which will easily meet most people's requirements.

I don't think So, it dependent on your company’s needs, reach (niche app, local focused, national or international scope), time to market, customer base and long-term mobile strategy.

Android and ios offering same apps but the quality standard and UI/Ux of IOS is much better than android. but apps are mostly same for both platform and android have much diverse number of free apps.

 

[RedApple]

I'm using both Android and IOS but I agree with you that an IOS is much better.

 

[sglobal]

It all depends on you!
I am a macbook pro user and I've got both Android (personal) and iPhone (work) phone. Both have their pros and cons.
iPhone is good if you want a simple phone that just works.
Android if you don't liked to be locked down. I'm a techie and I prefer a phone that I can setup and use the way I like rather than being told on how to use it which is what I feel iPhones do!

No Mobdro on IOS. 'nuff said.
