Phone is something you will be using in your daily life and if you are someone who prefers to hold something with brand value which one is better?

iPhone ( Apple )

Let’s start with famous quote by apple founder Steve jobs “Quality is better then quantity, One home run is better than Two doubles “.

Apple brand is exactly like that So does its premium product iPhone. It is very well status symbol, and the brand carries the weight. Like it or not there are girls who only want to go out with guys who uses Iphone , No joking but it is true 😊

Android Phones

Android OS has it’s own flows and as it was developed keeping flexibility, open use in mind over the time many players jumped in and started using this mobile operating system like Samsung, Vivo , Motorola etc. These companies are good but they lake in Quality controls and always believed in quantity.

Take an example of Samsung one of the biggest competitors of Apple. Every year they launch more than 14 different models of phones while apple stick with 3-4.

The winner: iPhone (Apple )

Brand is important but what about the wow Feeling , Let’s compare Iphone and Android available designs to compare design and look.

iPhone ( Apple )

An Iphone’s design and look can be described by these words . Classy , Simple , Neat and Clean .

Don’t take my words for it. Just look at it’s latest model iPhone 14 .

Android Phones :

Now this will be interesting to discuss, Because there are more than 10+ big companies making Android phones You will have time of life to shop through all these different models. Range is huge starting with Google pixel 4 which look and feel like iPhone

Or you can go with Samsung Galaxy fold series which is total change

Ok. Not into Android Foldable phones? How about Phone which can give birth to mini drone whenever you want to take selfie? Vivo is plan to launch android power Phone which has 200 MP camera drone.

Ok. Not good enough? how about a phone which can stretch itself , yes you heard it right ? A screen which can stretch !

The Winner: Android

If you are kind of person who takes Privacy and security seriously this comparison should be key for you. Let’s start first with iPhone.

iPhone ( Apple )

in 2022 when Apple first announced it’s new update where as a user you can opt out and do not allow Apps like Instagram , Facebook or TikTok to track you . It made a headline. While on one site big Apps companies were furious as they can’t show effective ads to end user , losing millions in ad revenue privacy users were pretty happy as finally they have option to keep their data private.

IOS operating system also takes security pretty seriously and Apple make sure Any APPs deployed on to Apple Store meets those rules.

Android Phones.

While Companies like Samsung, Vivo and Huawei modify the Android OS to  serve their customers. It still lakes seriousness in Security and data privacy .

Android Apps uploaded on Play store easy to get hacked and erroneous.

The Winner : Clearly iPhone ( Apple  )   

We buy phones not just make phone calls now, the use of phones goes beyond. In this section we try to evaluate which Eco-system Apple or Android has better connectivity options and flexibility .

iPhone (Apple)

iPhone provide seamless and perfect connectivity with Mac, Ipads, Airpods or anyother apple products which works with IOS. Apple is smart in thinking outside the box and try to bring customer in this Eco-system. You will not have any complains .

Apple provides some of the powerful software like Itunes which can help to answer some of your connectivity Solutions.

Things gets complicated When you try to go out side Apple Eco-system . Let’s say trying earphones from Sony or Transferring files with Samsung phones . It does work but experience will not be seamless .

Android ( Phones )

Google try to encourage developers better than Apple So when it comes to Connectivity of your phone be less assured an Android phone got plenty of options.

There are so many free apps, Software for windows that any connectivity requirements will be easy to meet.

Take an example of Fitbit watches or Garmin watches. These watches allow you to take calls and reply text for Android but they lake these basic options for iPhone!

Any New Apps update always comes in android phones first before it is developed in iPhone. ( most of the cases )

The winner : Android phones
