The war between Android and IOS rages on. While Android fanciers think their preference is better, team IOS consider their choice unmatched with unrivaled features. However, choosing between the two main players in mobile depends on what features are most important to you.

From customer service and system accessibility to malware vulnerability and facial recognition, there are quite a number of things that set Android and IOS apart.

Below are the seven biggest things that stamp a significant distinction between these two competitors.

Interface and Style

Apparently, the most obvious distinction between the iPhone and Android is the one you notice at first glance. The interface, apps, and emoji all look different. However, the iPhone is generally considered to have a more streamlined and appealing aesthetic than Android. Individuals stick to their choices regardless.

Facial Recognition

Both Android and Apple have a facial recognition feature, but seemingly, Apple's Face ID tends to be more advanced and secure. As a matter of fact, the Android facial recognition feature is considered more of a bonus than a key component. In other words, IOS is leading in this aspect.

Support and Accessibility

Speaking of Apple's in-person accessibility, Android developers can't quite seem to go head-to-head with IOS in this. However, while Apple has long set the standard for store locations, resources, and unbeatable designs, Android wins out when it comes to online, phone, and chat customer service support.

Closed vs. Open Systems

Every tech-savvy person understands that the most significant distinction between the Android and IOS devices is the type of system – Closed and Open. Apple has a closed system which means you can only download software applications through Apple itself. On the contrary, Android with an open system can allow apps from different sources. However, an open system is prone to malware vulnerability.

Security and Malware

While Apple devices can be attacked by malicious applications, and certainly have documented security drawbacks, you can barely compare it to the Android's open system with which comes more vulnerability. This is as a result of the nature of the open system as well as the large worldwide user base. Approximately 88% of the world's smartphone operating systems are Android, while only 12 percent are IOS.

Assistants

Siri may have more character than Google, but Google Assistant reigns chief when it comes to comprehension and information delivery. practically, Google's assistant answers your questions better than Siri does. However, Siri has some advantages, like the seamless integration between the assistant and apps for music, ride-sharing, and directions.

Brand

Brand perception is another powerful difference between Androids and IOS. The disparity in design and style, worldwide popularity, and exclusivity clearly sets the two brands apart. Apple has a strategic approach to branding and that had earned it an enviable reputation for designers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and celebrities.

Put it all together, and there isn’t a simple, one-size-fits-all answer to say which is better. Both phones' ecosystem has its advantages and disadvantages.

It largely depends on your budget and preferences.
