Iphone Vs Android Products: Compare and Contrast

We live in the era where almost everything comes down with a smart phone, from a common activity such as communication until now, we can even order a cab or taxi from our phone. It is almost impossible to see a person without a smartphone or even an old-type phone. No wonder, ever since the industrial revolution 4.0 smartphone becomes a primary need for everyone. The thing is, present day provides us with many IT companies that are competing to make a product that is the most luxurious, effective, and affordable. Due to the variety of products of different type and price, we are facing difficulty to choose the best and preferable. The common questions that come to our mind when we want to but new phone are: Which model is better? What type of phone has a good quality of front camera? Can I play high memory game on it? How long will the battery last? What are the advantages this phone has to offer to me?

Nowadays, there are two types of smartphone that monopolized the market. You will see people on the streets using whether Android or an iPhone. Android software was provided by Google and iPhone with iOS. The common sense is we want a product that is most efficient to handle with the most affordable price. However people seem to do the opposite and are more interested in buying Apple products despite its prices. So this essay will compare and contast iPhone vs Android.

First of all, people find iPhone are easier to use rather than Android. When you purchased an Android phone there are tons of regulation that you have to fill before its ready to be used by you. Different from an Android, once you purchase an iPhone and turn it on, your phone is ready to serve you and being used without a necessity to download a third-party application and many tricky parameters. Your iPhone has everything you need from the box and you can make it more personalized based on your preferences.

Another things that need to be considered are updates for hardware and software from both types. No matter what model of iPhone that you use, once the updates was released you will get the notice and updates your iOS right away. In the case of Android devices, it’s different. Android was used by so many companies, such as Lenovo, Samsung, LG, ADVAN, OPPO, and so on. Due to the differences of companies the notice of an update also scheduled in different time by each company, usually they have their own schedule for an update. So, even when Android received an update, usually you device will receive it months later- except for Google Pixel and Google Pixel 2 because for this particular software will be updated instantly. In instance, the older your Samsung model is, the longer you will have to wait. Firstly, Google needs to release a new update, then Samsung needs to start updating its device, and finally you wait until your device gets the notice of the new update. To add things, the fact that the new Android could also not have the latest updates. Even though that an iOS 11 cannot run as smooth as iOS 12, but still be comfortable to use.

When we purchase a device on iOS, we don’t have to deal with the pre-installed application that we don’t necessarily need. Many Android users have this problem, where there is a bunch of applications that are already being installed and cannot be deleted from their phones. Some of you may not mind the carried application’s existence on your phone. However you need to consider that those carried application have more terrible function than the standard application, not to mention an extra space on your RAM and storage that can cause a disadvantageous on your daily basis. Also, the open source code that Android has may cause modification from different companies and making them as theirs. When you want to change your device, for example, it can cause you poor optimization with different models yet having same function on your previous devices. For iOS, it will never be a case.

As we discuss about mobile devices, one of the most crucial parts is security system. In my opinion, iOS comes with more secured system than Android. iOS comes with less malware to be developed and also more difficult to be hacked because its strong and closed structure. Apple developers takes coding very seriously, so the chance for the third parties developers to make changes on it is close to zero percent. Even though that we cannot guaranteed that it cannot be hacked. Android comes with 97% of its malware are being developed based on Pulse Secure’s Mobile Thread Report in 2013 and in addition, USA government also published that malware threats amount on iOS device was only one percent. Based on this iOS seems to be a more reliable device.

After making compare and contrast analysis of iPhone vs Android, this essay concludes that every device comes with its advantages and disadvantages, and there is no one devices that is more superior than others. We should purchase one based on our needs. But if you are looking for a devices that has good safety, timely updates, and stable design, you should consider to purchase iOS devices.
