In today’s day and age, smartphones have taken over the cell phone market. While the smartphone market was dominated early by Apple’s iPhone, the Android has taken great strides, effectively leveling the playing field. So how do you know which smartphone is right for you?
Both Android and iPhone can do the basics: not only can you talk and text, you can also share files, surf the internet, have a touchscreen, download apps, customize certain alerts and notifications, arrange your individual icons, and even read your texts aloud. However, there are some differences between the iPhone and the Android that should be considered to help you find your perfect fit.
One of the biggest differences is in variety. While Apple has put out several models of the iPhone over the years, it has retained sole ownership, leaving you the choice between an iPhone and an iPhone. Google, however, has partnered with several different companies (such as LG, HTC, Motorola, and Samsung) in the making of Android phones. Each company has put their own spin on the technology, creating a wide range of shapes, sizes and looks for the Android phone.
The next biggest difference is in the varied capabilities. Apple has a common database, allowing the iPhone to sync with other Apple products. The iPhone is also faster to boot up and quicker to load apps. Other unique functions include the ability to send video through your email, VIP email filtering, the iCloud for backing up information, and several different storage sizes.
On the other hand, Android has multiple operating systems and more customizable options (such as the locking/unlocking procedure, the usage monitors for data and battery, and the appearance of the home screen). It also has a MicroSD slot, a removable battery, a universal Micro USB port, and the ability to hook the phone to USB keyboards and mice. It also has several different app stores available.
These are just a few of the features that distinguish the Android and the iPhone. There are many different reviews talking about which phone system is “better;” however, most experts believe that the best choice is to find the features that are most important to you and then choose the phone that best supplies them. This way, you will have the smartphone that works best for your life.
