iOS vs Android Pros and Cons

Affordability

When it comes to pricing, apple devices always at the high end of the market. New iPhone X and iPhone 11 both are over 1000$. But if your looking for high end android phone such as Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy Note or Google Pixel, they area also in this price range.

But iOS only offers those phones since android comes with variety of phones. There are many android phones with fancy feature for affordable pricings. Also, many apps that apple store has is paid and android mostly offers free apps. So, in affordability clear winner is Android Devices.

User Experience

While android has lot of customizable features in their OS, iOS is very easy to use. Its not confusing to anyone. iOS users love its simplicity. All the iPhones just have home page with app icons. There are no app drawers and stuff whatever the iPhone you have. Everything is same. Since android is using by many brands it changes in brand to brand how user interfaces work. In user experience iOS is always better than android.

Cloud Services

Both iOS and Android devices offers cloud backup system. Android offer Google Drive while iOS offers their iCloud backup. While google drive gives you 15GB of free storage iCloud only provide 5GB.

But you can always buy more space, Google charges only 2$ per month for 100GB and iOS charges 1$ per month for 50GB. Also, for 2TB both google one and iOS charges 10$ per month but if you paying per year, google one will charge only 8.33$ per month. But when we look into overall functionalities of both cloud storages, my choice is Google storage because it is easy to use and it is also can use in iPhones.

Updates

Almost everyone waiting for new updates, they want to see what’s changed and what’s new. iPhones always get latest iOS update just after it released. Sometimes older iPhones models do not get new updates because it’s hardware cannot handle weight of new software. Beside that iPhones always receive updates on time.

But updating on time is not going well in android. That’s mainly because there is lot of brands and they customize android OS to work well in their products. But google Pixel phones always get updates on time. While Samsung, Sony, Huawei and every other manufacture have to get update and optimize it and customize it before sending it over to their devices. And that process takes time.

iOS vs Android Security

Are iPhones more secure than Android? Everyone asks this.

Both have its own advantages when it comes to mobile security. Apple is iCloud lock. If someone steals your phone, even if they reset it, it needs older username and password to unlock it. And when someone tried many wrong attempts iPhone will get locked automatically and it will be useless. Also, apple keep tight restrictions in their app store. They always highly check apps from independent developers and so many apps get rejected. App store is mostly malware free because that.

Android also have lot of security features. Have we ever heard that someone hacked into their google drive and leaked photos? I think not. Also, like iOS iCloud lock android has device manager and google account. No one can reset it without old account password. In android’s play store there are lot of apps and not malware free like apple store. But this is also heavily monitored and restricted by google. Also, we can choose which permissions to give each app from settings. Therefore, both android and iOS are equally secured and safe in our opinion.
