iOS and Android, how to choose?

Android-iOS

The eternal battle, iOS against Android. The question is why should I choose? Why stick with one or establish a superior when I can choose both? Both operating systems have their pros and cons. Today we are going to make a comparison with several positive points in favor of each of the systems, however, we are not going to position ourselves in favor of any, we are simply going to emphasize the positive points of each system so that each one values ​​according to their needs or their usefulness, because only when you understand that there is no better system than another, but people with different needs, will we understand that war is absurd.

What does iOS offer me?

ios

  • Updates to the order of the day: Without the need for operators or manufacturers to approve the different versions of the Operating System, Apple offers an indisputably faster update system. In fact, Apple promotes its updates fiercely to install them on as many devices as possible that will be available to everyone from the moment of its launch.
  • Quality applications: This issue will always create controversy, but without a doubt the quality control of the App Store (although it is true that it is declining) is a step above the rest of the application markets, offering more quality in terms of fluidity and performance. Task that becomes more complicated the more devices Apple keeps on the market.
  • Longevity of the Operating System: Apple keeps its old updated devices the maximum time among the competitors. Needless to say, the iPhone 4S is updated to iOS 8.3 despite launching in late 2011, unheard of in the competition.
  • Premiere apps: Developers show a clear inclination to launch their applications at first exclusively for iOS due to the higher income reported by the App Store in general, however it is an increasingly less common practice.
  • Apple ecosystem: Taking into account the Apple suite if you can afford it is inevitable, the total integration between the different devices of the brand and iCloud makes everything excessively easy and compatible.
  • Easy to use: While it is true that Apple is including more and more options with each update, it is the simple operating system par excellence, a house brand as one of the principles instilled by Steve Jobs.
  • Apple Pay: It is true that others came before, but not better, Apple Pay is having acceptance and progress at an unexpected level. Paying effortlessly has never been so easy and in fact despite its youth it has already become the most widely used mobile payment option.
  • After sales service: One of the most difficult trump cards for anyone to disprove, Apple's technical and customer service is designed with the utmost care, always offering the best, in the easiest way, and in many cases rewarding the inconvenience with discounts or gift cards.
  • In family: Why pay twice for the same thing in the same house? The Family Sharing system will allow all household members to access the purchased products, and not only that, the safety and security of the little ones is a factor determining factor in the use of this tool.
  • Safety: Irrefutably, although it is true that Apple is having its pluses and minuses, you only need to look at the malware statistics of the competition to make sure that you are facing the safest mobile operating system on the market, although although no one is safe of the evildoers of the network.
  • iMessages: Messaging platform between Apple devices, the perfect combination of SMS and network messaging, with brutal integration and widely accepted in countries like the United States, where services like WhatsApp are barely half as popular as in France, Italy or Spain.

What about Android?

android

  • Open Source: Although it is not of practical use for 90% of mortals, the possibility of changing the ROM, to one that demands more and better performance of the device provides unprecedented freedom.
  • Personalization: Undeniable Android presents a free customization platform unreachable by any competing OS.
  • Hardware Choice: Android is available on almost any phone, from € 100 to € 800 is no problem, Android is a sea of ​​alternatives for all budgets, and more in these times.
  • File management: Freedom, and more freedom, being able to use the phone as an OTG system or a mere storage medium can get you out of more than one trouble, compatible with all computers, it gives you the freedom to use your memory in whatever you want.
  • Expandable storage: It is true that it is becoming less common, but most Android devices offer expandable memory through MicroSD cards, you choose how much and how depending on your pocket or need.
  • Infrared: It is only used to manage the TV or the air conditioning, but milk, it is cool !.
  • Overclocking: Do you know and want to get the most out of your CPU? Go ahead, Android allows it, that for that the chip is yours and you modify it whenever you want. If then he fumes or drinks drums, that's up to you.
  • File downloads via browser: Do you need explanation? I doubt it, click and download, use and navigate, endless possibilities almost at the level of any computer.

These are our conclusions, of course they are not the absolute truth and I encourage you to leave your comments (respectfully please) telling us why you prefer one or the other. I remind you, there is no better operating system than another, there are different needs, nobody has the absolute truth.

      If you like software errors, embasuramiento, that your phone is damaged by installing an original update for example (I lost my imei updating an s4 and then nobody wanted to repair it because they said that my own phone was stolen), if you like having to resort to pirated software such as cooked rooms to update your phone because the manufacturer does not release updates, or does not release them on time, or they arrive last, you can choose android. The most pathetic thing is that 99% of those who say that android is more customizable, open source, more versatile, that they can do and undo with the OS, they do NOTHING with it, they have it original with the manufacturer's version and they limit themselves to change the wallpaper and if anything, download one or another application that is not from google play. I always had Samsung with Android until I had that mishap on the S4, I was fed up with embasuration, software slowness, code problems, errors, I switched to iPhone and goodbye problems. IOS is a stable, beautiful, fast system, my girlfriend has a 4s and I have a 5s and we are not limited to download an application because we have outdated software, well, there are android fans that do not open their eyes, I can say with property I've used the 2 and IOS is far better than all the existing OS on the market.

        In order not to lose IMEI, it is read before reaching into the phones. Back. IN my case it supported with TWRP, that supports you startup, system, IMEI, modem, everything. It's just a matter of reading. The iphone is more stable, but Android has fewer and fewer errors. What if you should improve iphone is the battery, it is garbage. With the update to IOS 8, there are many complaints about the performance of this, I am one of them.

    2.    George Sg said

      Iphone is for those who use a high-end android, you cannot compare an Ace, with a Note 4, Z3 or Motorola Droid Turbo for example. It is true that in many phones they stop receiving updates, but it is true that my old iPhone 4s I stopped using it because when I updated it to IOS 8 it became garbage. Even a Galaxy S3 with Nexus rom runs better than that iPhone, what's more, even a sad Motorola D1 ran better than the iPhone 4s despite not costing more than $ 1,700.00 Mexican pesos. Hopefully Apple will want it, IOS was riddled with bugs, it already looked like Android.

    It's not for nothing, but ho…. every time I read an article here or there, you can see the duster.

    Open source ... even if it is useless ...
    OVERCLOCKING ... smoke ...
    infrared ... It only works ...

    Android 8.

    Yes sir! That is rigor, being fair and as you say, not positioning yourself.

      Goodnight.

      I'm sorry you didn't like the article but it seems that most of the comments say otherwise. However, thanks for reading us, here we will be informing you.

      A greeting.

        You have missed another feature of many Android: FM Radio. Many of us find it very useful to avoid constantly pulling data. For this detail (among some others, such as the non-existence of the SPlive program on iOS), although I usually use an iPhone 6, I do not lack an Android, the HTC One M7 at this time, which runs Android 5.0.1 Lollipop.

      2.    Charles J. said

        It's true whether you like it or not. You sin of a null impartiality on the web… ..that it is from Apple, but such a medium should focus on informing equally in all possibilities, and precisely in 'pearls' like the ones that the colleague has commented is where you should improve a lot.

        Open source will be of no use to the average user, but afterwards apps will be downloaded that most likely use that system.
        No phone is going to smoke for making it OC, before it turns off ... kernels and governors are for something. In addition, it is also possible to carry out the process in reverse with an Undervolt (which you do not mention), to extend the life of the battery if we do not need a lot of power.
        The infrared topic has many more possibilities than you mention, but anyway it is something that not all Android devices carry, so I do not understand very well why you mention it. It would be like putting a feature with a fingerprint sensor just because the Galaxy S5 has it….

        At the same time, with iOS you can also download with the browser (not all file types, but quite a few).

        I said ... if you want to be a medium that transmits communication in the best way, try not to put pullitas as if nobody were to notice.

        When I say that here or there, you can see the duster, I mean that both on the Android and iOS websites, there is a lack of rigor and I don't see fairness.

        I have had an iPhone, now Android and the next one I don't know what it will be. I do not marry anyone when it comes to technology and that is why on Flipboard I have both sites specialized in one and in others and ALL freckles of the same.

        It is logical that the majority of opinions regarding your article are positive, did you not expect to feed egos with your article? Come on, that's how it seemed to me. In fact another reader has indicated that it looked like an infomercial.

        That is not why I will stop reading you.

        Health!

    I see these two OS as two stages of life:

    Apple OS is like living with your parents. The house is safe, you don't worry about paying the bills, the food is always ready ... It is a safe environment but subject to rules and limitations.

    Android is like when you decide to live on your own. You have all the freedoms, but with their consequences.

    Hello! Greetings, first time I comment but I follow you daily on your page, the truth was, before I was Symbiam S60 Nokia, for 3 years I have been using iPhone believe me that I will never use another device again, I am 10000% with iOS, for many reasons and the main STYLE, Elegance, Safety and everyone adapts to what they have!

    But the truth is I have everything on my phone, I am not a programmer or anything like that but it works well for me for everything, I currently have it with Jailbrake, because I like other comforts of logic it does not have them, but I am comfortable and happy The operating system.

    Greetings, from Central America, !!

    Ahh and I congratulate you, continue like this, today someone with a lot of money is buying a high value cell phone like an iPhone 6 Plus and will not know how to use it, he will not read the manual, but will refer to the Internet, he continues to publish articles like this.

    See you soon.

    Simple! Android is an imperfect platform with integration errors with the software of a large number of devices there because they have to put 4GB of RAM and 2.3 GHZ otherwise it is a disaster. And what about unexpected reboots and your device freezing, in conclusion a garbage! iOS without a doubt with one or another error that in a matter of hours is solved, much better, safe, complete and complete. Unique for a unique device!

    Good night again Uff, I know you comment regularly, although always more or less saying the same thing.

    I am sorry that the article is not useful to you, I will try to make one that you like in the future, for now let's settle for it being useful to the rest of the readers. You can't always please everyone.

    A greeting and thanks for reading.

    It would have been interesting to mention Windows Phone (now only Windows). It is true that it still has a very small market niche, but it has interesting characteristics.

    On Android you set your limits. In iPhone Apple puts them.
    The "mess" is not made by the OS itself, but by the users, who if their smartphone fills with viruses is a personal problem of addiction to porn.

    Good evening Miguel, I think this article you have written is a great article, I'll just say that it seems to me that you say great truths about the two SSOOs.

    My personal opinion on both OHSS would be how to develop your words even more, therefore I refer to my career as a consumer in case it could be useful to any reader:
    IPhone 4, iPhone 4s, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 3, iPhone 6. The last two have been the best devices I've had for their speed, fluidity, camera, graphics power, battery (yes, both)… Etc.
    The Note 3 has its peculiarities of "phablet with pencil", which have made me fall in love, the freedom of its operating system and the Android ecosystem (Samsung's Touch Wiz).
    The iPhone 6 with which I write these lines has already gone through two "Jailbraqueos" managing to emulate the Play Station, the Megadrive, watching Canal + and other pay channels, various tweaks to modify the OS such as the so-called Little Brother with the that you can rotate the Spring Board just like the iPhone 6 Plus does… Etc.
    Of course, I am currently on IOS 8.3, and happy with how it evolves.

    Conclusion: Nowadays it seems to me that the high ranges of the devices all work very well (blessed competition), the Apple ecosystem if you become familiar with it is very powerful and simplifies everything very efficiently, the Android ecosystem has options and freedom to streams.
    Decántate by designs, specific options, use one and the other, try, see prices.
    Today none of the SSOOs will disappoint anyone in their latest versions, a matter of taste, that's my opinion, things are quite even. All the best.

    The two systems are good, I have used both, the truth is I prefer android with everything and its errors and it is not that ios does not have them as many want to make you believe those who speak so badly of android should try it in a high-end and draw their conclusions before to write so many nonsense.

    I will never understand these comparisons… Who is the creator of Android? We all know that Google. So why are there always comparisons with Samsung and other brands in these cases? Even a galaxy ace has come out there! If they want to compare on equal terms, that they compare the iPhone with the terminal that Google designs as an Android benchmark every year, the Nexus.

  33.   Ruben said

    Both one and the other in the hands of an average user, will not take advantage of it. What's more, most users can't even comment. A slightly more advanced user knows that both systems have their good and bad points. Cyanogenmod is so good with iOS, with one advantage: no limitations.

  34.   Marco said

    People think without understanding, if you have andtoid with samsung, htc, son and, etc with its ios safe customization layer it is better, but if you have nexus or clean android it has nothing to envy ios. I use both systems.

  35.   cavernarius said

    The great lack of iOS is a file management system that allows you to clear the useless cache of many apps, or directly transfer music without that trick that is iTunes.

    Apart from that, the elegance and solidity of iOS is above Android without a doubt.
