Android Or iPhone

      When you are going to buy a smart phone choosing between Android and Iphone  isn't a simple task.   While both phones offer a lot of great features and apps, they may seem so similar that it's hard to distinguish between them. If we look closely we will find some key differences. The First Thing is the hardware.

1)Hardware:

     Iphone is manufactured by single unit Apple, where as android phones are manufactured by many phone makers (hTc, samsung, LG, Motorola and many more).Apple is the only company that makes iPhones, giving it extremely tight control over how the software and hardware work together. But in android there are many. As a result, Android phones vary quite a bit in size, weight, features, user experience, and quality.

It’s not uncommon to hear that some Android phones regularly overheat or freeze up or that some models are simply low quality. This inconsistency of quality isn’t an issue for the iPhone.




Apple offers users a single choice: what model of iPhone do you want (3GS, 4 or 4S), not what company’s phone and then what model. Of course, some people may prefer the greater choice Android offers. Others, though, will appreciate the simplicity and quality offered by the iPhone.

2)Software:

       Iphone has its own software iOS and Android phones have Android, personally i like android because it is an open source. iOS holds a brand but android being a open source gives application developers a lot of help in developing apps. where as iOS is restricted source.

3)Market:

      While the iPhone App Store offers more apps than the Android Market--about 425,000 versus 250,000 (as of July 2011)--overall selection isn’t the only factor. Apple is famously strict (some might say unpredictable) about what apps it allows and how it changes its policies, while Google’s standards for Android are somewhat more lax. Many developers have complained about the emphasis on free apps for Android and the difficulty of developing for so many different phones. As a result, not all of the best apps make it to Android, and those that do don’t necessarily run on all phones.

4)Carriers:

      If you like to have a lot of choices, Android is your best bet. Just like there are many Android phones from many companies, you can also get Android phones that work on any of the U.S.’s four major phone carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile.

On the other hand, the iPhone is only available on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon (for now; many expect T-Mobile to join the gang in 2012). Both options are available through the many small, regional carriers in the U.S., too


So, if you’re already a T-Mobile customer, or just want maximum flexibility, Android should be your choice.

5)User Maintenance: Storage and Battery:

    Apple prizes elegance and simplicity in the iPhone above all else. That’s a major reason that users can’t upgrade the storage or replace the batteries on their iPhones (it’s possible to get replacement iPhone batteries, but they’re have to be replaced by a skilled repairperson). Android, on the other hand, is open to user customization, meaning that users can change both phones’ memory and battery.


The trade-off is a bit more complexity and a bit less elegance, but that might be worth it compared to running out of memory or needing to pay for a battery replacement equal to a large percentage of the cost of your iPhone.

The Bottom Line:

       The decision of whether to buy an iPhone or Android phone isn’t as simple as tallying up the winners above and choosing the phone that triumphed in more categories (7-5 for the iPhone, with one tie, for those counting). That’s because all of the categories won’t count for the same amount to all people. Some people will value hardware or carrier choice more, while others will care more about battery life or mobile gaming.

       While it should be no surprise that the guy writing an Android website might prefer the Android Phone, iPhones are good choices for many users. You’ll need to decide what factors are most important to you and then choose the phone that best meets your needs.
