Apple's price has always been above Android in terms of prices, and the iPhone X is the leader in this regard, with a starting price of $ 1,000. The iPhone 8 Plus starts at $ 800, and the iPhone 8 starts at $ 700. iPhone SE, with $ 350. As for Android, the market is much more "affordable" for all pockets. You can spend a lot if you can afford it, on phones like Google Pixel 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note, but there are also a wide variety of cheap phones from various manufacturers. The fact that Android also leads the field in free apps makes it the perfect choice for the average person's budget. Winner: AndroidApplications Let's start with an overview. How many apps will you find in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store: Android apps: 3.5 million iOS apps: 2.2 million The most popular apps are available on both platforms. IOS has traditionally been a more profitable platform for developers. In the US, iOS continues to lead, but app developers tend to give more credit to the Android platform. Play Store has a higher percentage of free apps than the App Store. But the best mobile games run iOS and don't always run on Android. In the end, the quality beats the quantity, and in this respect, iOS seems to be the winner. Winner: iOS Battery life and charging Battery life is an important factor for all manufacturers. It is difficult to compare the two platforms because there is no common hardware. We could say that iOS is optimized to maximize battery life, but on the other hand you can buy an Android device with a much larger battery, which will easily outperform the iPhone. Both Android and iOS devices allow you to see the percentage of battery usage, but only Android has an estimate of battery life. Both offer power-saving modes that can extend battery life by limiting performance, connectivity, and other features, but the way it works is generally easier to customize on Android. For a long time, Android has had an advantage in the charging department, as many Android phones have offered fast charging and wireless charging capabilities. However, the Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X all offer wireless charging and fast charging. It is worth noting that you need to buy the fast charging adapter, while it is usually supplied in a box with an Android phone. Winner: Android Updates Apple's iOS system provides accurate and timely software updates and security patches. If you want the same experience on Android, then you need to buy one of the Google Pixel phones. Almost 90% of all iOS devices are now running the latest version. On the other hand, only 0.5% of Android devices run the latest Android 8.1 Oreo applications. This is a big minus for the Android platform, we could say. Most devices, 22.9%, run Android 7.0 Nougat. Winner: iOSCalls and Messaging The basic calling and messaging feature is good on both platforms, but may have some issues with Android. Google has come to the market with Hangouts, which allows you to send messages, SMS, video chat, group chat, and more via Wi-Fi or data network. Many Android phones come with their own messaging apps. FaceTime and iMessage are pre-installed on every iPhone and iPad and allow easy connection with friends and family. iMessage is very easy to use, but it works best when communicating with other iPhone users. Winner: iOS Email The default email applications on Android and iOS are very easy to use and can be set up quickly. You can use multiple email accounts and view them in a single application if you wish. Gmail is a more powerful email application than iOS email. Gmail is the most popular email address system in the world, it makes sense for Gmail to be a big plus for Android. Winner: Android Maps Apple Maps didn't get off to a good start, but it has improved significantly. Its key features are that you can download maps for offline use, get accurate estimates based on current traffic conditions, and find directions for walking or walking. On the other hand, the quality of Google Maps is unmatched. It has many points of interest and is generally more detailed than Apple Maps. Accuracy may vary from place to place. Winner: Android Highlights for iOS in relation to Android are the camera, security and accessories. On the other hand, Android still excels at cloud or voice support.
