There has been a hot debate for quite some time over which phone, iPhone or Android, is
the best. Some people say that Android is more customizable whilst some people say that iPhone
is easier to use. There are some obvious distinctions between the two that might make or break
one’s decision.
One of the first things that is noticeable between an iPhone and an Android is that they
differ in looks from each other. Apple, the company that made iPhones, have sort of a
“signature” look to them – the designs are very simple and elegant. Android, on the other hand,
can and will vary aesthetically from phone to phone. Apple has always kept the original four-to-
five inch display, until recently with the new iPhone 6 unveiling a whopping …show more content…
Price is another factor that dictates the difference between the two phones. iPhones are
generally more expensive than some Androids, with the iPhone 6s starting at $649, and the
iPhone 6s Plus starting at $749. The more modern phones have the same price as the iPhones –
the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus, starting at $799.99 and the Samsung Galaxy Note5, starting at
$699.99. The difference between the two companies is that since Android offers more of a
selection, the prices are going to be lower. The newer Android phones coming out are going to
be priced similarly to Apple if it is a name brand – Samsung, HTC, LG, Google, Sony, etc. There
are exceptions however that do not follow the price-to-quality ratio. Some of these phones
include the OnePlus One, which has similar specifications as compared to the Samsung Galaxy
S6, but is only $299 for the 64 GB version; Asus Zenfone 2, which is also comparative to the
Galaxy S6, but is only $299 for the 64 GB version, and many other phones that are …show more content…
iPhone’s processing power and RAM is also behind compared to Android. The iPhone 6s Plus
has 2 GB of RAM and a dual-core Apple A9 processor with clock speeds of 1.84 GHz. The
Samsung Galaxy S6 has 3 GB of RAM and two dual-core processors: Cortex-A53 and A57,
which deems it an octa-core with total clock speeds of 3.6 GHz. So not only is the Samsung
Galaxy S6 faster than the iPhone 6s Plus, it is also ninety dollars cheaper. The thing that wins
iPhones over Android is the software. The software is so fluid and constantly updated, iPhones
do not have a need for high quality hardware. They run just as fast as Android does, if not faster
at times, despite the lower hardware quality. The last thing that is obviously between the two is
the expandable memory. Ever since Apple’s release of the iPhone One, they never bothered to
put in an expandable SD card slot. Almost all Android phones have this, with the exception of
the newer ones.
All in all, iPhones and Android are strictly based on personal preference. If you like a
simpler, ready-to-go, and friendlier user experience, choose iPhone. However if you are one
the best. Some people say that Android is more customizable whilst some people say that iPhone
