iOS vs Android – Know the differences (Useful)

By Priya PedamkarPriya Pedamkar

iOS vs Android Comparison of apps….Exclusivity or Unlimited Freedom?iOS vs Android comparison

iOS vs Android Comparison – Smartphone App Wars – Android versus Apple, Google vs iOS….the contenders come in different avatars, but the players in the smartphone app wars are chiefly these two. If you ‘happen to prefer one over another, there’s no further need for debate. But, this war is far from over. May the best app win!

These apps have the advantage of a Linux based OS and are partly open source. This makes it perfect for those who prefer a PC based app platform. Another ‘appropriate point of comparison between iOS vs Android is the interface and basic feature. Adding further to the pixel-perfect story, ios vs android design elements also come into play. While to iOS, Android smartphone apps are most commonly used, and iOS apps are known for their exclusivity….they can only be used on Apple devices.

Interface

Both Android and iOS apps use touch interfaces. This includes tapping, swiping plus pinch, and zoom.

Both the apps involve OS, which boots to a home screen (much like your PC)

The Difference:

Puts Users in the Dock– iOS apps allow users to access a dock where they can pin most-used apps.

A status bar runs across newly received email, messages and reminders.

Customisation

Android apps can be customised depending on device and carriers, though some pre-installed apps may pre-exist in the Android device.

App Availability

  • Google Play supplies android apps, most of which run on tablets, while others, such as Kindle Fire, use different app stores.
  • But, even iOS-only apps are available for Android, including Pinterest and Instagram.
  • Google has a more open app store with exclusive applications such as BitTorrent, Player and Adobe Flash.
  • Android OS also allows users to access Google-based apps such as Google Docs.

iOS Vs Android app availability

Developers prefer iOS. Offers exclusive apps like Tweetbot and Blade.

The Bottomline:

  • Most popular apps are available for both OS.
  • iOS vs Android Tablets have apps designed more specifically for iPad while Android Tablet apps are scaled up
  • Apple apps= Exclusive Platform
  • Android apps= Multiple Platforms

Stability of the Apps

Android apps, as a rule, are more stable than iOS

stability of apps

iOS Vs Android Software upgrades

Google updates Android apps frequently, but they do not receive updates on their phone until manufacturers decide.

Several months have passed since the release of the new version of Android.

In iOS vs Android comparison, users have an advantage in that upgrades are available for all iOS devices.

Wider variety of devices

A massive variety of Android devices can be purchased at different sizes, hardware capacities and price ranges. iOS is only available on Apple devices- iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch- this increases the cost of the hardware for the apps

Call Features

Android lets users send multiple texts through apps, but the iPhone App allows the ability to respond to calls with text messages or a callback reminder with a DND mode.

Messages

Android enables users to log onto GTalk for instantaneous messaging …

apps

IM is available on GTalk and Skype for Google and MSN, respectively …iOS offers only Apple users the option of chatting natively.

Videos

  • Google Hangouts can involve a video chat, whereby users can chat over 3G/Wi-Fi.
  • iOS uses FaceTime which offers the choice of both 3G and Wi-Fi
  • Users can communicate with other Apple devices only, for iOS apps as against Android apps.

Virtual assistants

While iOS’s Series has many features, Android apps offer Google Now. From voice search and dictation to verbal reminders, both sets of apps and OS offer a wide range of choices.

Best of Both Worlds: Apps such as Bing and Google Maps can be used for Android or iOS, maps for iOS surpassing Android with respect to the following:

  • Features
  • Ease of Use
  • Design

Google Chrome = Safari

However, Google Chrome can also be used by iOS apps.

Unity in Diversity- Integration

Android apps integrate with social networking sites like Facebook, as do iOS apps.

Users can perform state updates and upload pictures as well as sync contacts.

The flip-side: iOS offers deeper integration because social network sites like Twitter and FB are part of its core.

iOS Vs Android integration

iOS Vs Android Mobile Payments

Google Wallet allows app users to make mobile payments in some cases using NFC technology for making wireless payments with a simple tap

In contrast, iOS apps have a mobile payment system called Apple Pay which is easier to use as it has fingerprint identification. iOS apps like Passbook offer multiple features

iOS Vs Android Security

Android applications are less vulnerable to bugs though they do tend to ask for more permissions.

Android apps are isolated from the rest of the resources of the system

But the problem is that as Android apps are more likely to be used, malware writers and hackers target them more often than iOS apps.

If an iOS device has apps installed outside of Apple stores, it is vulnerable to malware, hacking and attacks.

iOS Vs Android Privacy

On the ios vs android privacy factor, iOS wins any day over Android. For example, the Pandora app opens a whole box of troubles by asking permissions for Google identity, contacts, photos, calendars, files, media and call information. Pandora app on iOS has no such requirements.

android apps pros

Developing the app

Building and publishing apps for iOS is tougher than Android. This is because Android apps are programmed using C, C++ and Java while the OS uses an open platform and source code can be downloaded for free. A small one-time registration fee is there for developers who want to publish their app on Google Play Stores. Android SDK is available for multiple devices.

In contrast, iOS SDK is only available for Mac, and the right to publish in Apple’s app store requires a hefty fee.

The Aesthetics

Android app buttons are monochromatic and have iconography

iOS buttons have monochromatic text with no border, and they tend to be quite simple

Nav Bar in iOS is a back button, while Android apps have navigation bars with numerous action buttons

iOS pros

Android has a system of intents that allows applications to interperate well.

‘App’rehensions: The Safety Factor

As people shift to digital lives, mobile security has become a major problem. No wonder apps today even ask whether they have permission to be installed! From emoticons to selfies, the earlier concerns have now been replaced with safety and security. Android is built on an open philosophy where by phone makers, wireless carriers and persons can configure their iOS while apps can be customised. Spyware versions of popular apps are also on the prowl.

This also means iOS apps are just as vulnerable as Android apps, contrary to the popular misconception. This is because Android device makers can customise the OS just as Apple users can, and some of these features add to the vulnerability to hackers and malware. Billions of apps have been downloaded by Android as well as iOS users, but the safety factor should always be considered keeping individual requirements in mind.

Why An Apple App Keeps The Troubles Away

Apple’s success comes from its tight quality control. Apple keeps strict control over the quality of hardware and OS. It also vets apps before allowing them into the store. This accounts for iOS apps that are well integrated and of top quality.

iPhone’s premium audience is interested in new apps, and there is less control over how they are distributed and sold at each point. Apple’s margin comes from hardware and apps offer brands and developers a chance to connect with customers.

Lessons in History

Apple was the first of the two famous rivals to step into the smartphone app space. Apple App store was managed and launched, but none of the rivals could catch up. Till Android came into play, and Google Play revolutionised the app world.

Google Play app downloads are a whopping 60% more than Apple’s App store, according to AppFigures.

Android apps have also increased in number and sheer size

Quantity Versus Quality

With respect to these criteria, Apple wins because it offers quality apps that are exclusive.

Android: Giant Hurdles

  • Fragmentation as developers has to resolve a limitless set of device parameters.
  • Testing out 20 different phones with differing resolutions and processors making development slower
  • Rethinking the design element is tough. Even the simple one-pixel stroke, which looks amazing with high resolution, fails to dazzle eventually.
  • Android apps are tough to develop, and mobile development must move at a fast pace to keep in touch with the trends.
  • Less robust tools and documentation in the Android space are also of critical concern.
  • Developers can be more creative regarding the design element in iOS apps, especially because there are numerous APIs and libraries present for this purpose.

Why Apple Rulesapple

  • Apps run in native code, not VM.
  • Memory is not periodically wiped out, causing slowdowns
  • Hardware drivers suit the purpose
  • 64 bit CPU on recent iOS devices combine with the operating system to make it doubly fast as against Android devices
  • User Interface is rendered in hardware
  • Touch screen latency is faster, and the app does not pit itself against others for resources.

Where Android Poses a Challenge

  • Android apps are cheap and easy to make with superior guarantee and privacy
  • Such apps enhance multimedia capacity and are easy to use
  • Different text predictors and keyboard choices make Android apps superior in terms of usability
  • Android also scores on system-level functionality
  • Tasker, an automation program on Android apps, lets you change the smartphone into a superfine and lets you access settings not possible with other apps (especially iOS)
  • iPhone users can customise their home screen, but this cannot beat the kind of tailor-made specifications possible for Android phones

apple logo

  • Third-party launchers add to the fun
  • Widgets on Android apps are another massive benefit. From a weather widget to a music widget, you can have amazing products that make life simpler and more enjoyable.
  • If Apple offers Apple Watch, Google has a whole range of innovations coming up, which will revolutionise the app world.
  • An open-source platform means custom ROMs and much more; Android apps offer the flexibility missing in iPhone apps or iOS applications.
  • Android also scores on true app integration. Google Voice is simply awesome as far as Android apps go (though it is available for iOS as well. On Google Play, apps such as Google Voice integrate directly with the OS, and you can make calls or enter in values directly through Google Voice instead of a dialler. Other services like SMS and voice mail are also available.

Conclusion

One way or another, each app ecosystem has its own advantages and drawbacks. Choose an app that suits your needs and individual preferences. That way, you will make sure you have the most ‘happening apps in your arsenal. Make the best of the iOS Vs Android development smartphone app wars and choose only the quickest and safest applications. After all, whether Android or iOS, you should opt for apps that work well for you.
