Android vs. iPhone – Which Is Better?
Picking between two of the biggest players in the mobile world depends on what features and specs are most important to you. Here’s everything you need to know to make the correct decision.
Ease of Use
Most users love to say Apple products just work. It’s true that the iOS interface is very easy to use. But so is the Android platform. In fact, if you can use one, you won’t have trouble using the other. If you compare the appearance and home-screen setup, Android often has the upper hand, since it gives users more control over the system and its applications.
Fit, Finish, and Price
iPhones are very classy and beautiful. Android phones, well… it depends. Apple controls every step of the manufacturing process. This makes sure their products have a great fit and finish. On the other hand, some Android phones are just plain ugly.
That’s the reason why Apple makes nothing but luxury phones, which means there will never be a “cheap” iPhone. So if you don’t want to pay that much for an iPhone, your only choice is to get a used one.
Closed vs. Open Systems
If you’re an iPhone user and want to buy an Amazon e-book via the Kindle app, you’re out of luck. Android is an open source platform and is far more open to alternative applications. Remember that Apple hasn’t ported any of its apps to Android. So, if you prefer open systems to closed ones, you’ll know which one is better for you.
A.I. and Voice Assistants
Google Assistant is a lot better than Siri. After all, it’s much more than an excellent voice interface to Google search. For example, if you’re meeting someone for lunch and traffic is awful, Google Assistant will plan that you need to leave early to make your appointment. It will then notify you beforehand. On the other hand, Siri’s still pretty basic.
Security
Android tends to have more security problems than Apple, as Google is more lax about its applications. The best way to keep malware off your gadget is to get apps from the Google Play store. Though iPhones are more secure, there are possibilities of security breaches.
