Iphone Vs Android - Should You Get An Iphone Or An Android Phone? by babatee126(m): 10:10am On Mar 19, 2017 |
While there are many companies competing for smartphone supremacy, at the moment the two titans going to head for dominance of the consumer smartphone arena. With apologies to Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, and Palm OS, Google Android and Apple iOS are the two best mobile device operating systems right now. Now that Verizon is officially getting the iPhone, there have been a lot more questions on differents forum about which phone is better or best, the iPhone or the high end Android phones. That's a little more difficult question to answer as they both have unique advantages so I thought I'd compose this article to address some of the advantages and disadvantages offered by each mobile operating system. Choices - Advantage Android If you're looking for a lot of different choices, then it's Android all the way. With the iPhone, you have two choices, this year's model and last year's model. Every year Apple releases one new phone. It seems like there is a new Android phone coming out every few days - there are over 100 Android powered phones and that number is continuing to grow. Android can be found in low-cost phones that are free with two-year contract and $250 with a two-year contract. You can get a variety of screen sizes and pick any carrier you want. Apps - Advantage iPhone If you want the biggest selection of apps, then the Apple App Store has the advantage by about 200,000 apps. The Android Market isn't a slouch by any means, as it does have over 100,000 apps, it just has less. Most developers develop for the Apple App Store first because people are more accustomed to paying for apps on the iPhone than they are on Android. The biggest difference is in games - quite simply, there are far better games available for the iPhone than on Android at the moment. Cell Phone Carrier - Advantage Android Now that the iPhone is available on two carriers in the U.S. you're not stuck with AT&T which is a good thing for many people as AT&T has had more than its share of network problems over the years with the iPhone. However, the iPhone still isn't available for Sprint or TMobile which both offer lowest cost plans than Verizon and AT&T so the advantage here goes to Android. Adobe Flash (i.e. Most Videos) - Advantage Android When it comes to watching videos on your iPhone, you can watch some and many YouTube videos. However, plenty of videos are found elsewhere and they all use Adobe Flash. Also, many online games use Flash as well so if you enjoy playing them, you'll probably have some difficulty. Android Phones (that have Android 2.2 or later) support Flash which means you can access all these videos and games using your phone. There is a workaround app on the iPhone called Skyfire that will work for some of these cases, but it's not nearly as nice as the phone being able to support it and it certainly doesn't "just work" as Apple has tried to make their devices do. Ease Of Use - Advantage iPhone You probably don't want to get a degree in engineering to use your phone. While Android is relatively easy to use, it's still not nearly as intuitive as the iPhone. The iPhone has a simple elegance to it. Android-powered smartphones tend to appeal more to the tech savvy crowd. Again, this is a matter of preference. Just like with computers, some people like Windows and some people like Mac OS. Go to the store and play with both for a little bit and see which one appeals to you more but if you hate computers and barely know how to turn one on, stick with the iPhone as it is simpler. Conclusion - Up To You While I could make a case that either is better, ultimately it is going to depend on what you want. Me personally, I like my Android phone but I've played with plenty of iPhones and have found them fun and easy to use too. Get whichever one you like best.

Choices vary though and then Android devices are more affordable than iPhone. Patiently waiting for the Tecno Camon CX though, iPhone lovers can anticipate the iPhone 8 and 8 plus |
