Which is better Android or iOS?
The iOS vs Android debate has been ongoing ever since the platforms were created over a decade ago. But I do want to preface this entire topic
by saying I don’t hate Android, I truly believe both platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses.
And the decision regarding which one is best
for you is your decision to make. Everyone’s smartphone needs are different. And therefore no one can say that one platform is objectively better than the other, but I do think it’s fair to point out the specific strengths that iOS has over Android.
And don’t worry Android fans I will write a topic titled “Why Android Is Better than iOS,” it’s just not going this. Alright so let’s start with what I think
it’s the number one reason why people choose iOS over Android. And that is the user experience.Apple is great at making tech products for non-tech people.
And I think iOS does a fantastic job at kee things simple enough that everyday people can pick up an iPhone or iPad without being intimidated by an overly complicated interface that plagues many Android devices.
And I can already hear Android fans saying how stupid all us iPhone users must be if we can’t figure out how Android works, but you really need to understand that isn’t a matter of being stupid or smart. It comes down to the fact that people enjoy
using products that are convenient And if they can figure out how iOS works quicker than Android, you can bet they’ll view that product as more convenient and less frustrating.
Also, smartphone manufactures can apply their
own custom skin to Android. Meaning its interface is different depending on which hardware it’s running on. Which for most people makes the entire ecosystem appear even more convoluted and confusing. Which is a nightmare for everyday people who just want to use something that looks and works consistently?
That also gets us into perhaps my least favorite
the part about Android, which is the fragmentation. just think about the fact that there are literally thousands of different Android devices on the market today.
Compare that to the eight iOS devices being
sold. That is an unbelievable difference that has a huge effect on a variety of things. First, iOS devices outperform Android every time. In fact, the cheapest iOS device, the $400 iPhone SE is actually faster than one of the most expensive Android devices, the $1,400 Galaxy S20 Ultra.
And fragmentation is to blame. Because chip manufacturers like Qualcomm have to build a one-size-fits-all chipset, capable of running on thousands of different Android devices. Compare that to Apple, who makes their own custom chips, optimized to power their own custom hardware, which runs its own custom OS.
That is the biggest advantage Apple has over almost every Android manufacturer today. They control the hardware, software, and chipsets included in their products. Which means Apple can squeeze way more power out of their processors than Samsung or Google.
And it’s why Android devices might have more processing cores or more RAM but are still smoked by the cheapest iOS devices. All that raw power isn’t being optimized by the hardware or operating system because Qualcomm, the chip manufacturer, isn’t on
the same page as Samsung, the smartphone manufacturer, who isn’t on the same page as Google, which provides the Android operating system.
But the benefits of Apple’s all-encompassing approach to its products doesn’t stop there. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot
more high quality, low-cost apps available on the iPhone or iPad compared to Android smartphones or Android tablets?
It’s because developers prefer creating apps for iOS over Android. And that’s because they only need to optimize their apps for a handful of iPhones and iPad, the vast majority of which are running one
a version of iOS, rather than making sure their app can run on thousands of different Android products running several different versions of Android.
Also, developers make more money on app sales on iOS, likely because pirating is much more difficult on a closed platform, rather than an open-source platform like Android. Another benefit of iOS updates. iPhones and iPads not only receive new updates on a regular basis, but they’re also available on older devices.
