Two platforms - two different worlds

   Apple and Google are two global giants that firmly occupy the leading place in the market of software for mobile platforms. These two companies, one way or another, try to oust Microsoft in the area it doesn’t have benefits (at least for now), and concentrate their forces on mobile devices.


 Apple’s IOS operating systems and Google`s Android have their advantages and disadvantages. Let's try to understand what platform is more functional and adapted for the modern user.



   1. Universality of the system
It is much easier to implement modifications and create applications on Android. This may explain the choice of HTC, Samsung and Sony in favor of Android, while the IOS supports only Apple products.
This is a serious disadvantage for Apple and a huge plus for Google. Choosing a smartphone on Android, you can install and use a variety of third-party applications and extensions.

   2. Browsers. Page loading speed
Once again, it is clear that first position in this category holds Android. Browser Safari is fast and reliable in terms of security, but unfortunately not as universal as Chrome.

   3. Battery life
Apple devices have an obvious advantage in energy consumption. Where in Battery capacity doesn`t play a role. Even the most capacious batteries of leading manufacturers quickly go dead on Android. Apple developers have paid more attention to this component and devices on the IOS work much longer.

   4. Applications from developers.
Applications for the devices may vary according to the developer and the device, but in general the leadership keeps ITunes.
The conclusion – one can choose in its sole discretion what platform to choose by the criteria described above.
