Though there were several mobile operating systems in the past, today it has come down to just two - They are Android and IOS! Hence ios only run on iPhones the question that many have when they are planning to buy a new phone is that should they pick an Android Phone or an iPhone. The answer is obvious – it is android and here are five reasons why.
Though ios are catching up with android, it is still miles behind when it comes to the level of customizability that it offers. This is because android has been designed in a way where pretty much every aspect of the user interface of the phone can be customized or skinned to look and feel the way you like. IOS also does not let users install third-party apps to customize the user interface. The ability to choose a default app for a certain task also has its limitations.
Google services are one of the main reasons why people choose android over iPhone. There are many reasons why google's optimization is better than Apple's and the software experience is much better on android if you purchase an android device that runs on stock android. Also, google's assistant is much better than Siri which occasionally fails to recognize and respond to even the simplest of commands.
There is a very limited number of phones designed by Apple which runs on IOS but several of worlds leading phone manufacturers have chosen android as the operating system for the mobile phones they manufacture. This lets you choose from a wide range of mobile phone form different manufacturers. These lets you buy your preferred device with specific hardware specifications. If you are sceptical about this claim, visit an online store the likes of Urban.lk and check the prices to know the truth.
Devices that run on IOS are far more expensive than the majority of android mobile phones there is also an android phone at every price range while iPhones start at an alarmingly high price. Iphones are more also more expensive depending on the region that you buy it from. For example, products of Apple in Sri Lanka are 1.5 times more expensive than in the US.
There is also not a lot of choices when it comes to hardware if you go for an iPhone. Apple does not refresh its design more often even if they do you cannot notice a significant change from its previous interaction. But when it comes to android devices, there is something for everyone. There is one with a large battery, there are phones with a huge camera sensor, phones that boast a polarising design – check, phones that have a minimalistic design check! There is even an android phone for every occasion!
We usually buy a phone hoping to use it at least for 3 years and cheaper replacement parts even extend the speculated life of a device. For android replacement parts start from a very cheap rate however replacement parts for iPhones are considerably higher than that of android phones.
