Comparison between Android and IOS

Android and IOS

There is a great competition between the Android and IOS and amazingly this doesn’t stay here. There is a cold war between Android users and IOS users as well. Both claiming that their operating system is the best.

These two operating systems are leading the line in Application Development. The reason behind this is customer satisfaction, efficiency, and of course popularity.

When we came around this, we thought why not judge them on the basis of facts and evidence and their performance meter.

This will help you to choose the best platform to work on for any organization.

Before starting we will put some details of Android and IOS –

Let’s get started –

1.       Market Share - 
Both the operating systems are leading in the market. Whenever we talk about application development, the two names that cross our mind are- Android and IOS. Talking with facts and evidence, we came to know that Android holds around 88% of the market share while IOS holds only 12% of the share.  The number of users of Android is also way greater than any other operating system.  But we definitely cannot ignore the monetization of the IOS. 


2.       Development Complexity –
Talking about the complexity of developing an application. Going by the facts, Android has high complexity levels. On the other, IOS has low development complexity. If you are a new budding developer, then it is suggested that you research more about the development procedures and time for better understanding.


3.       Cost –
This is one of the most important factors because costing and budget for building an application is the top priority for any organization or company and even the client. Android has a much higher cost because of the testing period. Whereas, IOS costs less. When comparing the two, it is important to keep in mind the number of days it will take to fully develop an application. 


4.       Programming Language – 
It is important to know which of the programming languages does Android and IOS works on. Android’s programming language is Java and Kotlin. Whereas, IOS requires Objective C and Swift for the native development of an application. You need to be well- versed with these programming languages if you want to work on this operating system.


5.       Security – 
The biggest concern is security. Android offers not very secure development of the applications. On the other hand, IOS is highly secured and this is the reason why some developers choose IOS over Android.

6.       Speed –

The speed of downloading is fast in Android but IOS offers faster download speed as compared to Android. As a developer, you need to keep this point in your mind.

 

Both Android and IOS are good and it solely depends on the user which platform he/she will choose and give preference to. It is a fact that Android has a good user base and market share but the quality and resistance that the IOS offers cannot be matched. Know what are your or clients’ needs and accordingly suggest. There is no such thing as one is superior to the other. Both are good in their places and offers its own pros and cons to the developer.
