The Android Vs. Apple debate has been raging on for a long time, and it was never this big; for long, Apple had been the reigning king of smartphones. Apple left most of its competition far behind, whether it be the simplistic yet beautiful hardware or efficient software. But that was certainly pinching Google. So, as we all know, it led to the evolution of Android. The mighty OS has risen in popularity, far surpassing many of the big fish and proving to be a strong competitor to Apple, and has resulted in a virtual war of Android Vs. Apple iOS.
Most people these days, while buying a smartphone, are confused between this Android Vs. Apple scenario. I have seen people inside stores bugging the sales guys asking whether to go for Apple or Android and give more flame to the Android Vs. Apple. Most of you must have gone through the graphs that depict how AAndroidis gaining its market share, and Apple has nowhere to go but down. Well, it’s all true, folks. Recent official trends suggest that although Apple holds quite a large market share in a few years, it could be quite the opposite. Most of the reasons cited for such rapid growth of AAndroidare very obvious. Whether it be open-source OS, a vast majority of app developers and cell phone manufacturers are are are are providing free hardware and whatnot. Everything in the raging war of Apple vs. android seems to be going in AAndroid’sway!
Let us look closer at who wins the waging war of Android Vs. Apple:
1. Proprietary Vs. Open Source OS
Apple governs its rights on its iOS. This has proved to be a boon for Google’s Android. The AAndroidis free and open-source, which means anyone can have a look and alter its code. This has resulted in a massive proportion of application coders’ population either opting or switching to AAndroid
So, In the war of Android Vs. Apple – Advantage Android.
2. The Apps
Though Google claims that its Android Market is enormously expanding and what not, the reality is that presently it stands nowhere near Apple’s App Store; also, I would like to point out that the most popular Android apps are actually already famous on iOS and hence are transported to another platform. I don’t think an app was transported from Android to Apple because of its popularity.
So, In the war of Android Vs. Apple – Advantage Apple.
3. The Hardware
I am a fan of Apple’s hardware. How they simplify design and bring elegance to every device is an achievement in itself. But they have also kept their prices higher than a normal user like me would like. Here comes the AAndroid, with companies like LG and Samsung providing free hardware to anyone interested. And if you are willing to spend a little more, you could probably be holding a device that can cause the geniuses at Apple to drool!
So, In the war of Android Vs. Apple – Advantage Android.
4. App Developers
This is another crucial factor. The Apple app developers have a hard time uploading their apps on the app store as they have to go through all the checks and whatnot. On the other hand, Google has declared that Android developers are free to post their Android Market apps. Hence, more and better apps are on the way for Android users.
So, In the war of Android Vs. Apple – Advantage Android.
Considering all the above factors, I can confidently say that AAndroidhas a very bright future in the war of Android Vs. Apple iOS, the winner,,,, is going to be AAndroid
