It is the religion of the mobile technology world; its highly debatable, and not everyone sees eye to eye! Arguments can be made for both hemispheres, as well as negatives against them. Most people take one side or the other, but my take is a bit different! In this edition of P2TD, I am going to discuss my take on one of the most heated debates in technology! |
First and foremost, I'd like to start off by explaining why I've been gone. School, as many of you might know, is very time consuming, and with semester finals on the horizon, in conjunction with baseball, I'm a busy dude. Over veterans day weekend, I had planned on launching P2TS and P2TW, but I was on a vacation in Flagstaff Arizona (review? Perhaps so!). But I'm back now, and hopefully I can get the site where I want it to be!
Okay, now for the main event: Android vs iOS.
As I alluded to in the intro, I take a slightly different take on this, and I have my reasons why.
Last Thursday on Instagram, I ran across a bit of a debacle between the numbering scheme between iOS and Android, and how it supposedly made Android better. I couldn't resist, so I hopped in and gave my two cents.
Though they share some similarities deep down, they are two completely different operating systems designed for two completely different functions. And as far as the numbering intervals go, they're different too.
The hardware that they run on feature different spec trends, and the mode of hardware production differs greatly.
Notice a trend? They're both VERY different. In fact, I think they are too different to compare. Both in their function and feel, they are more different than they might seem.
Try to compare an apple to an orange. They're both fruits, have seeds, and grow on trees, but beyond that, they're completely different. Now, try to compare a Gala to a Red Delicious. They're both apples of similar size, color, and origin, but they taste different and can have a slightly different consistency.
Comparing apples and oranges just isn't really fair, but comparing apples to apples is an equal playing ground.
The same goes for Apple and Android. Compare the LG G3 and the Note 4 and you're good to go, but compare the HTC One and the iPhone 6 Plus, and you may be a bit limited.
As I mentioned earlier, they also differ in hardware tactics. For example, the iPhone 6 uses a dual core, 1.4 GHz chip, and the Note 4 uses a 1.9 GHz octa core chip. The 6 has 1 GB of RAM, whereas the Note 4 has 3 GB. Spec wise, they seem a landslide apart, but when it comes to real usage, they perform similarly. This is because their software creators optimized them differently.
Did you know that I have used the word different (with or without a suffix) 14 times? I think you get the picture.
I love both operating systems. My daily driver is an iPhone 5S, but I actually use an LG Optimus to run my website on the go. I love both phones, but I'd never compare them.
Both OS's pertain to different types of people, and which one they chose depends on their own preference. Those who appreciate minimalist design might shoot for an iPhone, where as someone who likes hardware options will look into the Android world.
The bottom line is that they are two different to undergo direct comparison. Even comparing their cameras is a bit of a stretch in that every company seems to take a different approach. HTC will use low MP counts, Samsung uses high MP counts.
