Android VS IOS

-

 



The iPhone vs. Android comparison is a never-ending debate on which one is best. Unless you've used both Android and iOS , you've often wondered what it would be like to use an Android device if your primary device is iOS or an iOS device if you primarily use an Android device. For most people the curiosity gets the better of them and they end up buying one of each.

iOS pros and cons

Massive app ecosystem: distinct advantage for tablet apps while on smartphones popular apps are usually available for both platforms

· Deeper integration with Facebook and Twitter: it is easier to post updates and share on social networks using iOS than Android because of how deeply integrated these platforms are with iOS.

· iOS-only apps like Passbook, FaceTime, and mobile payments app Square (available on iOS 3GS,4,4S,5 and up, nut only for a limited Android phones)

Interface is locked down: Limited customization options for the home screens; only rows of app icons are allowed. No third-party apps are · pre-installed by the wireless carrier. Users can only install apps from the App Store

· Software upgrades: Apple offers software upgrades to all devices that have the hardware capable of handling the new software. This means devices stay current with software features for at least two to three years.

· Better privacy controls: iOS offers better control over the access apps have to users' private information such as contacts and location.

Android pros and cons

· Massive hardware selection: A large number of Android devices are available at various price points, with varying hardware capabilities, screen sizes and features.

· Highly customizable user experience: The home screen can be customized with not just app icons but widgets that allow the user to stay connected or informed. Other examples include SwiftKey, which modifies your Android smartphone’s keyboard, and apps that emulate older gaming consoles. Google has fewer restrictions than Apple on what kinds of apps it allows in its Play store. Moreover, you can choose to install Android apps from places other than the Google Play store.

  What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?   The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves. Thanks to the advent of inexpensive computer chips and high bandwidth telecommunication, we now have billions of devices  connected to the internet. This means everyday devices like toothbrushes, vacuums, cars, and machines can use sensors to collect data and respond intelligently to users.   The cost of integrating computing power into small objects has now dropped considerably. For example, you can add connectivity with Alexa voice services capabilities to MCUs  with less than 1MB embedded RAM, such as for light switches. A whole industry has sprung up with a focus on filling our homes, businesses, and offices with IoT devices. These smart objects can automatically transmit data to and from the Internet. All these “invisibl

This flexibility fueled customization, leading to a vibrant marketplace of launchers, themes, and mods, allowing users to truly make their Android experience their own. 2. Powerhouse in Your Pocket: Gone are the days of sluggish performance and pixelated graphics. Today's Android phones are m
