iOS or Android, Which One Should You Pick?
BlackBerry and Windows Phone are practically non-existent now, so for most of us, the choice of which phone platform to buy into comes down to choosing between iOS and Android. Since their launch in 2007 and 2008, iOS and Android respectively have had their share of fan following.
It is obvious that Android dominates the smartphone market share worldwide by virtue of its presence across wider price brackets, and being offered by a variety of phone makers. Apple has consistently maintained a healthy share of the global market despite having only about a relative minuscule number of devices on sale each year.
For the past few years, September has been the month when Apple unveils its new iPhones. While a new Android phone is launched almost daily these days, Google also usually introduces one Nexus phone a year, typically in October. Along with new hardware, this is also the time when both companies release the latest versions of their mobile operating systems.
Both companies have, over the years, made strong cases for why a user should choose them. This means that a typical iOS versus Android debate could run on for hours. Over the years, both operating systems have been filling the gaps, and Android has become more polished over time, while iOS became more flexible.
So how does one choose? Here is a list of pros for both platforms that should help you decide the camp you belong to.
