Android vs iOS

Android and iOS are sprinting for the first position. If I were asked what to choose between the two, the quick answer comes as iOS products. However, today the line between Android and iOS is rapidly blurring. With success of Samsung Galaxy S4 brand identity of Android is growing. It is also necessary to know that Android and iOS are not the only players, but they are definitely dominant in the mobile space. Android is most commonly used smartphone with many different mobile brands and on the flipside iOS is only used on Apple devices. The market share in the US is much closer whereas in other countries like India, Android dominates the market.

With the launch of iOS 7, the race is now raging rigorously. Android too is rumoured to launch Android 4.4 KitKat this October along with Nexus 5 and Nexus 11. The features of the Android will be confirmed with its launch. As per the current status, Mobile expert Steve Cheney suggests that iOS7 advancements put iOS 7 around 18 to 24 months ahead of Android.

iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S has been launched and will hit the store on September 28, 2013. One is cheaper than never before and other is faster than never before. Apple’s new 64-bit A7 processor is 2 times faster than ever, delivering a 2X on CPU and 2X on GPU and levelling the processing requirement of Mac apps with iPhone.

If iOS boasts of its dedicated game centre (not available with android), flash and Java support is installed only in Android. iOS is far ahead with its 250,000 apps as compared to 70,000 Android apps.
