Android
and IOS operating systems are competing for mobile users' questions and
the time of purchase is: which is better, Android or iOS? IOS, Apple's operating system, is responsible for making the iPhone and iPad work and dominated the market for a long time. However,
the Android operating system created by Google, is used by brands such
as Motorola and Samsung and smartphone users have already won.

Between Android and iOS, there are many differences, similarities and unique characteristics of each system. Therefore,
the TechTudo prepared a comparative guide, detailing the main points to
be considered when choosing which smartphone to take home, with the
operating system from Apple or Google. Check out:Operating System: AppleIn
business since 2007, iOS still takes advantage of Android on most
issues, especially taking into account the version 5 of Apple's
operating system. With
attractions such as storing files in the cloud, the iCloud, and
assistant with voice control, Siri (available on the iPhone 4S), the
system is still one step ahead of Android.The
recognition speed of navigation commands and also gain positive points
in iOS, while Android, though clearly evolve from one version to
another, still struggles to get even with Apple's system. The IOS interface and ability to perform several tasks at once are still better than those offered on Android.Availability of Applications: AppleOne
of the most important things to evaluate before buying a smartphone is
the number of applications, free or not, available to him. After all, they are what will make your phone a multimedia piece for several useful features or not. And in this regard, both iPhones and Android devices are very well equipped.It
is true that the AppStore, and iTunes still have far more options than
the Android Market, but the trend is that the producers of apps already
pay attention to the growth of Google's operating system on the market
(in the U.S., for example, he is present in most smartphones) and begin developing new content to obviously win more people.In addition, the company recently launched Google Music, which will act as a heavyweight competitor of iTunes. However, there is no denying that Apple still win the leadership in this regard. But that could change very soon, of course.File Transfer: GoogleOne reason the biggest complaint from iPhone users is the file transfer. Need an intermediary - in this case iTunes - to move your music to your smartphone, for example, is a negative factor. Meanwhile, Android, just click and drag the files you want into the folder of the phone, like a flash drive.This
may not be a feature that will change the choice of a user, but the
practicality of the software offered by Google deserves a good point for
making one of the most legal user of the smartphone, which is to store
several files on your phone, much more easier than its competitor.Customization: Google
On the one hand, exclusivity. On the other, freedom. Maybe if it was necessary to summarize the comparison between iPhone and Android, this would be a good way. The
first is a "Block I Alone", with unique characteristics, operating
system only to him and interesting details, such as internal layout
pattern. The second is not.Android is an operating system made for various brands such as HTC, Motorola, Samsung, etc.. It is done under the supervision of the open-source, which allows anyone to modify either the user or company. In practice, you can customize (almost) everything on Android.Therefore, this is another plus point in favor of Google's operating system. Freedom to create, customize and make your smartphone to your face, for some, is fundamental.Design, Screen, Camera and Keyboard: Dead HeatThe iPhone, especially in its model 4S, seems to have reached a level very close to perfection in the categories listed above. Its
design is even more unique and innovative, with slight changes compared
to predecessors, and the screen size seems ideal for a smartphone.What, then, on the two cameras - both the front for video calls as back up for shooting and shooting in HD? Moreover,
the virtual keyboard has also undergone a slight redesign that caused
users to begin to believe that he now is in its ideal model.Still, there is no way declare a victory for Apple device, and the blame, again, is due to the evolution of Android devices. The
Galaxy SII, the HTC Titan and Droid Motorola Razr, for example, are
coming with great force in the market, and with these specifications and
interesting questions. Moreover,
as mentioned in the previous topic, Android allows for greater
flexibility in all these functions, after all, you can choose the phone
that best suits you and even customize it.Security: Dead HeatThe issue of personalization, in fact, gives positive points to Android. However, be careful where you play. As in all open-source initiative, there are also chances of getting files that can be harmful to your device. There are even studies that treat the software as safe, but with caveats. The device, however, is also not very different.A
good example is a report by Symantec, makers of Norton Antivirus, which
ensures that the iPhone offers complete protection against all kinds of
malware, but is rated only "moderate" to isolate apps and prevent abuse
of resources. Moreover,
the AppStore may even be free of malware, but many users choose to
jailbreak (unlock) the aparelo, and thus are more exposed to malware.Meanwhile,
Android devices are still not as advanced in this aspect, especially
for not offering checking provenance of the apps and not have a coding
system and information protection. In
Android Market itself, depending on the type of application that you
download from unsafe sources, you may be exposing your data to others
without knowing it.Accessories: AppleCases,
docks, headphones, speakers, armbands ... The exclusive accessories for
the iPhone are impressive and pretty much dominate this market. Every
day is invented a new gadget to be an ally of Apple's smartphone, with
the most diverse forms, the most varied reasons and opening a range of
possibilities for owners of iPhones.Whether
they are official, created by the company from Cupertino, or not, the
accessories make the iPhone a device that can make a guy (external) more
personalized, which is not so much with the operating system. And
because it is a unique device, the iPhone wins in this aspect of
Android, since there is no way to create accessories for all smartphones
with Google's system.Price: GoogleThe consumer's pocket weighs heavily in deciding which smartphone to take home. At that time, there is no denying it: the advantage is of Android devices. Whether
they are unlocked or purchased together with the signature of any plan
mobile operator, in large part they are all cheaper than the iPhone.The Apple device until it is sold in some interesting conditions, but the monthly price of these plans does not pay. Even the most advanced Android devices still carry a slight advantage over the iPhone in the Brazilian market. So, for those with money short, Android will be a better option.Winner: Apple, but ...Compare a cell to a wide variety of devices is not an easy task. The iPhone has only one competitor, but a large number of rival smartphones with Android operating system installed. Still, he manages to make beautiful and puts most of these devices in your pocket. But there are caveats to do.The
growth of the Android market, of course, is influenced by the fact that
he is much more equipment than the IOS, it's no wonder. He grows not only by the variety of smartphones, but because the service offered by Google is improving every day.At this time, iPhone still better. In the near future, it is not known. Google itself has ambitious plans for this market. Want an example? Google will buy Motorola for, who knows, they even produce their phones (which can happen from 2012). Does the Mountain View company is not, for example, keeping their best for the right time? And
do not forget that the new version of Android 4.0, codenamed "ICS" (Ice
Cream Sandwich) is coming with the new Galaxy Nexus. The union of this new software with the hardware fully renovated family Nexus will leave many iPhone owners jaw dropped.So if you want to buy a smartphone now, the iPhone is even better. But if you're short on cash or like more freedom of Android, you can rest assured. A good phone with Android will not be so far behind its major competitor.
