Android versus IOS

Today, nearly everyone has a smartphone. They use their phones to complete their task or job. There are various brands of phones and people prefer the phone which is more convenient for them. There are two most known and popular phones which are using IOS and Android Operation Systems(OS). iPhone uses IOS OS and Samsung phones use Android OS. There are several difficulties between these OS’s.

 Firstly, Android has much more systems than IOS. Users of Samsung’s phones are more able to download folders or apps from the internet. Also, Android users are able to reach most system folders too. However, that liberty also makes Android more insecure than IOS because a user of android can download a folder, which has viruses, from unsafe sources. If the user is able to reach system folders, viruses are able to. But in IOS, users are not able to reach the system folders and most unknown downloading sources are banned. For that reason, IOS’s close system provides better security than Android. 

 Secondly, there are development languages to program these OS’s. IOS uses Swift as a programming language. It is a language that has been created and only used by apple. Unlike IOS, Android uses Java as the development language and java is more common than Swift. Even, Java is the most used development language in the world after Java-Script(JS). Due to that, Android is more modifiable than IOS. Due to that, game or application developers are more able to create games or apps for Android. That is why there are more applications and games in the Google Play Store.

Last but not least is the speed of these systems. Speed of Operating systems is nearly the most important thing for the users. It significantly changes the sell rates of phones. There is only one factor that determines the speed of the phone. The usage rate of random access memory (RAM). How much RAM is used by apps and OS determines the speed of the phone. A more complex and modified OS uses more RAM. IOS has more simple Interfaces and codes compared with Android’s. For, that reason it is a fact that the speed of IOS is faster than Android’s.

 Eventually, phones are not cheap devices and today they are requirements. For that reason, when the users decide to buy a phone, they should consider the factors which are security, rate of upgradeability, and speed. Nonetheless, IOS and Android are well-coded and brilliant systems and probably users won’t be regretted when they buy one of the phones which use IOS or Android.
