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.

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.

blogs on Android Development for a better understanding.
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.
