iPhone Vs Android, Which One Is A Better Choice?

Whenever a person plans to buy a new smartphone, they are left to choose between two operating systems: iOS or Android. If you ask someone which software is better? You might get into an endless debate with them. It is pretty easy to start an argument by merely mentioning the iPhone is better or vice versa. 

Just like there are two sides to every coin, the iPhone vs Android debate also has different people supporting each option. There is no definite answer to this, but one can easily make a comparison and analyze the results. For some people who overthink, making a sound decision might be a little more complicated than they would expect. It can happen because of many reasons which we will get to know later. 

So why did people start comparing the two operating systems? Well, they might have based their answers on personal opinions since Android and iOS have competed forever. For some people, however, personal opinions may not matter more than technicalities. Such people might prefer doing thorough analysis before investing in either one of the operating systems. 

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with doing the ‘risk analysis’ when getting a new gadget for yourself.  Since this is a one-time investment, people should evaluate different options and see which works best for them. 

So what do you think is a better choice? For your ease, some key aspects you can base your judgment on are listed below. Let us have a look at them without further ado!

How much does it cost?

We have noticed that the iPhone prices in Singapore are more towards the luxurious end with a not-so-reasonable price range. It is mainly because of its fit and finish, which stays unique from other smartphones. On the other hand, Android smartphones can be bought for a minimum $100 or less, which is not the case with the iPhone. Not only is Android super affordable, but consumers can buy a smartphone of their choice with the custom fit and finish. 

How easy is it to use? 

When talking about the user experience, we may end up with mixed reviews. Due to the frequent updates in these operating systems, users can find both of them convenient to use. However, people prefer iOS over Android over here because of the sleek user interface, which is extremely easy to use. Now, Android is keeping up with the iPhone by updating its software at a remarkable pace. 

What about its battery life?

It is pretty evident by now that the iPhone needs to be changed multiple times a day. You might not relate to this problem if you are an Android user. It also depends on the phone usage, but usually Android has long-lasting battery life.  

Which one has a better app store?

Neither Android nor the iPhone can surely win in this segment without a few exceptions. Apple’s App Store is comparatively easier to organize with much better user experience. Android’s Play Store does a good job as well, making it easier to install applications from laptops or PCs. However, where the Play Store lacks is where the App Store is good at some places. With your Touch ID, you can easily buy apps on the iPhone -a feature still unavailable in Android. 

Who wins at customizability?

This one can be answered without thinking much as Android sets the tone with a higher level of customizability. From setting up the phone’s layout to adding widgets and installing user-friendly launchers, anything can be done in an Android. With the iPhone, only a few changes can be made, like the background and wallpaper, as it gives us limited options. Nonetheless, you can personalize your Android and have complete freedom whatsoever. 

Which one has a better camera?

It can be a tricky question to analyze. In Android phones, different versions have different camera sets. Now, some of them can perform better than an iPhone, but they might lack consistency. The iPhone 11 Pro and Max have won the race by providing excellent quality cameras and amazing features. As in Android phones, the camera quality may vary according to the budget. 

What about data storage?

Many users complain about the limited cloud services iPhone offers with only 5GB iCloud backup accessible on Mac, iOS, and Windows. Google Android, on the other hand, offers up to 15GB storage for free to its users. Moreover, the charges to buy additional storage are pretty reasonable with Android, and the iPhone always exceeds that price limit. 

Conclusion:

Generally speaking, both operating systems have some ups and downs, depending on the different categories. Now, it all comes down to the specific consumer requirements and which category is given more priority over others. Due to personal taste and preference, some people will go for an Android while others will buy an iPhone. Yes, comparing the two is not easy at all as both systems try to stay competitive no matter what happens. They keep coming up with better versions, trustworthy software, and hardware. 

So go ahead and buy the smartphone you prefer over the other as soon as possible! Ultimately, you will know the answer to this question and end the debate right there and then.
