Android VS iOS - The Great Mobile Tech Debate!
Introduction
The legendary debate that has been going since the beginning of time. Android VS iOS! Which Mobile OS is superior? Why does Android have more users, yet seems to be less popular? Are iPhones really worth the money? Am I terrible with introductions?
Starting Argument
I'm going to start off by saying that I'm an Android Fanboy, and so I might be a bit biased on some stuff. I personally believe that Android is better due to a few key reasons.
1. Value. Android has $180 off-contract phones that work beautifully. Look at the Motorola G and you can see the quality you get for 1/3rd the price of an iPhone. Moving up on the ladder, Android has its Nexus line of phones and tablets, where you can get top hardware for half the price of most phones.
2. Choice. Yeah, there's now 2 iPhones, and there's always the last version(s), but iOS will never have the variety that Android has. You can more or less choose your screen size, phablet features, manufacturer, screen resolution, camera strength, and design. I'm personally not a fan of Samsung phones, but I love LG and Motorola. Instead of having to submit to Samsung's designs, I can simply ignore them and get the LG G3 or Motorola X.
3. Software. Android is much closer to a desktop experience to me. It's so power-user friendly and customizable without having to make any modifications to it. You don't have to "jailbreak" and Android device to get lots out of it. If you do want to root, however, feel free to as there's no company that's in an endless war to stop you. The best part about Android is custom roms. ROM developers such as Cyanogen and Paranoid completely change the way Android looks and feels. If your phone manufacturer decides to release a buggy update or decides to stop updating your phone, the Android community has your back and will update it until the day your phone dies. For example, my Nexus 4 is running the Android L preview, when it was only officially released for the Nexus 5. Not only does it run Android L, but it runs it with fewer bugs than the official version on the Nexus 5.
That's enough of an argument. Let the discussion begin!
