With the smartphones market just blooming these days mobile operating systems have seen a lot of changes in terms of appearance, performance, usability, utilities and credibility. Since the beginning of this Dog Fight Mobile System developers are bound to face challenges in staying ahead of competitors. The two major competitors of this mobile operating system market are currently Android (a Google Product) and iOS (an Apple Production).
Let's look at the strategies that they have opted to stay ahead of each other.
User Interface.
It will take a while to point significant differences in the user interfaces of the two operating systems but to a regular user, Apple's iOS UI looks much richer as compared to Android because of its fluidity and flexibility in switching animations. Although both offer similar resolutions video display yet we have to say this battle is won by iOS.
Applications
Android is an open source product whereas iOS is not, hence in android any one can build Android applications and even sell it without certification from Google which gives the audience a vast area to explore and because of this factor market share of Android has seen a better growth as compared to iOS.In case of iOS if you are developing an iOS app then you have to first certify that with Apple which makes it less popular when compared to Android which makes Android win this battle by great margin.
Touch Panel
Since most of the mobile phones released today are fully touch enabled hence mobile user seeks better response from the touch screen panel. Mobile users wish for more responsive touch experience and which even has a fix for misplaced touch. This feature is hard to master but Apple has found a way which provides both of these features to greater accuracy when compared Android mobile phones, hence it gives iOS users a great experience with their Apple product and make them addictive to iOS, which is a feature that Apple has won the battle.
Performance and Battery Backups
Since different Android mobile systems may provide different performance and battery backups, we will compare the average of Android vs. iOS battery backup. Although both these systems offer applications in which user can decide whether to go with high performance or higher battery backup, Apple's iOS battery backup is by far much better as compared to Android average battery backup and also when we look at the performance of Android phones its much slower as compared to Apple's iOS fluidity and switching speeds, so this battle also goes to iOS.
Hardware Components
When we come to this section it becomes really hard to judge who actually wins this battle.
Camera
Android offers simply the best camera quality and features which includes editing videos and photos with the help of free applications dynamically and there are a lot of stuff that you can do with your photos and videos.
Sound Plugins and Utilities
By first impression on this feature you would say Apple is the one and you are right. When you look at iTunes, it offers the best music libraries all over the world which enables you to share your music among different Apple products with just a touch of a button. The sound hardware at Apple product is perfect in its Treble and Base which makes it unbeatable in this segment.
Conclusion
We ultimately concludes that although android has the greater market share in terms of applications still iOS looks rock solid when it comes to sales.
Compared to latest Android version i.e. Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), the battle will get intense and it would be real interesting to see how far Android offers when the much anticipated concept iPhone 5 lands in the market.
