In the smartphone world, the Android and iPhone OS have been the favorites of many for a long time. More than 90% of the world's population prefer the Android and iPhone OS over other mobile operating systems.

Everybody has got their reasons for buying a smartphone. Someone who sees the need to appear luxurious might go for an iPhone sold at $1500, caring less about the functionality of the device.

While for others, the phone they use may have been purchased for its features and spec. And there are still those who buy a certain mobile device only because of its affordability, not what it can do.

For most people who can afford both an Android and an iPhone, it becomes challenging to make a choice as both brands have fantastic products.

But then, according to smartphone experts, choosing a mobile device should depend solely on what features and specs you consider most important. For individuals who take a lot of pictures, buying an iPhone might be the best choice to make. On the other hand, people who seek other features like a great battery life might go for a Samsung, Motorola, or Google Pixel device.

In my opinion, none of both operating systems ranks over the other. But that's just my perspective.

So, over to you guys, which would you say gives the most value for money between Android phones and iPhones? Let us know your opinion in the comment section below.

Most android phones now like the Google pixel, Huawei and Sony is ranked higher than iPhone in camera comparison. While for the speed category, Snapdragon is fighting real hard with Apple's Bionic chipsets.

Most people consider the android for flexibility and the iPhone's for sleekness, speed or even status.

None, judging from my experience with both.

I disagree with you in terms of their chipsets, snapdragon is ok it has shown it can do alot not to talk of exnos of samsung, its some that overdo it by having too much on their phone and besides i dont think those iphones chipsets are better in terms of efficiency and co, snapdragon has been tested and trusted so many times, i phone just have this value that most of these Android phones don't have.

I use both, i prefer andriod though. Flexibility is key.

I use both but I prefer iPhone, I hate f*cking ads
But apple processor is not a thing snapdragon can’t compete with.

My iPhone too dey throttle when open 3 of my tasking apps that I use whey d phone go hot like fire

...Take! this mansion belongs to you, but you are not permitted to go outside the house. (iOS)

...Take! this mansion belongs to you. you can do anything you wish to do with it. BUT BE MINDFUL OF WHERE YOU GO. (Android)


Android or nothing

I agree on the resale value. But I still never pointed out which processor is better, but from the reviews I've watched, the Snapdragon 865 goes toe-to-toe with Apples Bionic 13 processor. Although many will say the Bionic 13 is better maybe because of its sleemless integration with iOS but Antutu benchmark ranks Snapdragon's 865 processor higher. And another processor we should watch out for is MediaTek's Dimensity 1000 plus

Ads don't appear on stock android. If you are judging, judge with a stock android experience (Android one phones or Google pixels)

Meanwhile, Apple Bionic 13 is not a thing again maybe that's why they are working on Bionic 14 to claim their spot

simple! People who grasp this concept know it’s childish arguing over which is the superior os.

It's kinda dicey,

With iPhone you're 99.95 secured

With Android, you're free to do even the unthinkable

Both are like the Messi and Ronaldo of the phone World

Ios-smooth, stability and security
Android-fast, customizable

iPhone: high security, high resale value, restricted flexibility and customization and for show off (subjective).

Andriod: High flexibility, medium security, high customization, and SD is catching up with iPhone's bionic processors in terms of speed.

Left to me, Andriod is the best because of the high flexibility and customization it offer its users.

I'm not saying that iOS isn't trying for security. At least they are a step ahead android in user privacy but they still got security flaws. Check it out here https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/05/15/new-apple-security-blow-if-you-have-an-iphone-look-away-now/#53666a2d6c9f

If there are no ads, the device will be more expensive. Phone companies as well as software developers enable ads in their products as another alternative to making money and to reduce the cost of purchasing the product. If ads are removed from your Android device, expect the price of Android phones to go up.

The Apple's A13 bionic processor is the fastest smartphone chipset available and has the best GPU. The funny part is that Apple is launching the new A14 bionic processor which is rumored to be many times better than the A13. The A14 will be able to handle a resolution of 1 billion pixels, it will also be a 5 nanometer chipset making the most power efficient chipset ever.
Talking about the OS, iOS is pretty boring and Android is more fun as it allows you costomize it. iOS apps also tend to be better optimized than Android apps as they tend to use up less RAM when running than Android apps that's why you see a high end iPhone coming with just 4GB RAM while an Android phone will be coming with 6GB, 8GB or 12GB RAN to get the same performance as the iPhone.

Yeah, you're correct except for the speed. Snapdragon 865 is slightly faster than Apples Bionic 13. But the Bionic 13 GPU is better than the Snapdragon 865 processor. iOS is fast because of the optimisation with the hardware and uses less RAM for performance.

Hmm... is that a fact? Because I would say it's specification that would determine a phone's price

I have used android phones all my life..samsung ..htc ..sony ..tecno ..infinix e.t.c..
Der are extremely smart and well functional..but each time any android device is about to full(storage)..it will start to hang ..slow down..
But iOs will never hang no matter what...
Android phones can be hacked while iphone can not ..
For me I prefer iphone too android..

Android is the best in terms of speed and costomization
E. G check huawei chips kirin 980 in huawei mate and P series it beat iPhone you can check on YouTube.
The reason why people underestimate Android is that they are comparing Android of 30k to ios of 100k if they want to compare Android and iPhone they should compare it with Android flagship and see the difference

I use both phones

My iPhone has all my bank apps and my main whatsapp because of security

My android is for play play as all my social media apps are there

Like you all said, iPhone is better when it comes to security and Android is better with customization (I mean, can you change the skin and user interface of an iPhone except maybe it's jailbroken?)

Maybe u didnt hear of 0day vulnerability on their email app, u can be hacke by just opening the email. Remove security when u want to compare.

Bros who told you iPhones can't be hacked? They can be hacked if connected to a public network. Even for Android, the security updates that's been dished out every month is making sure that the android eco system matches up to the iOS but because android is open source, you also have a part to play for the security of your phone

Meanwhile, what type of phones do you use to generalise that all android phones slow down when their storage is about to full. Please I hope you are not comparing iPhone (Flagship) to android midrange phone

Exactly, they do that alot
And they should compare with stock android for UI experience

As of 2019 and 2020 latest Android flagship beat iPhone in terms of speed like oneplus, blackshark, red magic 5G and Samsung beat iPhone and no iPhone as of now support 5G.

Apple is always late to the show. They would say they'll need to test and work on the tech and garner it's full potential to make it work flawlessly on the iPhone.

The fact still remains that new tech always goes to the android ecosystem first while new apps may likely go to the iphones first.

Android users plenty pass people using iPhone on nairaland. I see

Both are equally good, it all boils down to personal preference. There are lots of things one do better than the other.
Mind you, iPhones can only be compared with Android flagships.
