The war between Apple iOS and Google Android has been going on for a long time now with Apple dominating the U.S. market in sales.
However, Android has been gaining ground recently. According to global market research firm Nielsen, “Android finally edged out Apple in early 2012, nabbing approximately 48 percent market share.”
More fuel was added to the long burning fire when Apple accused Samsung of copying some of its products and won the case.
Though it may seem like both devices operate on a similar platform, connecting their consumer as fast as possible with the most up to date technology, they are vastly different. For first time consumers of a smartphone, it is important to know the ins and outs of the latest mobile technology and what fits their needs specifically.
According to an article by Katie Nielsen on “Toptenreviews.com”. Apple is only going to continue to expand with its present followers staying loyal especially with the demand of the recently released iPhone 5.
Unfortunately for all the Apple fanatics out there, they only manufacture one smartphone and that is the iPhone. There are three models available: the 4, 4s and the new iPhone 5. Each phone has a variety of storage configurations.
The iPhone is also known for its sleek and clean face but you will see pretty much the same interface on every iPhone model. The iPhone 5 has 4G speeds and is arguably the fastest working phone on the market. It is much lighter than its predecessor the 4s.
Apple’s voice control Siri is much crisper and detailed this time around. The iPhone 5 also has a much more improved picture and video quality. But a common complaint about the new additions to the iPhone 5 is the new map, which has not been as reliable since Apple’s split from Google Maps.
It has always been debated about which company provides a wider variety of apps than the other. They both have a massive selection of apps, but the bigger difference is how the applications are downloaded on each system. According to the Toptenreviews.com article, every app sold through the Apple app store is fully controlled by the company itself while Android has several distribution channels.
Android unveiled their latest product, the Samsung Galaxy S3, back in May which boasted a 4.8 inch screen. They have also launched their own music service, matching themselves head to head with Apple.
I can proudly say that I am an addict of Apple. I have been a consumer of the iPhone since Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone. I recently purchased the new iPhone 5 and in my opinion, it is the best phone ever assembled. I love how light and thin the phone is and now that it has 4G accessibility, it is a much faster phone than ever before. I really cannot go anywhere without it and I assure you cannot go wrong with this purchase.
