Android is developed by Google, it is open source and Linux-basic which is more PC-like. The system is more user-friendly that allow user customization. If the user has anything they do not like in the phone, they can change it easily. For example, the user does not like the outlook of the standard keyboard of Android, they can just go to the Google Play Store and download any keyboard they like to replace it. Android system is also the most commonly used system that used by a lot of different phone manufacturers all over the world.

IOS is developed by Apple Inc. It is an operating system of all Apple’s products. “You don’t want your phone to be like a PC.” Steve Jobs said. Really, Android is more PC-like but IOS want a totally different system from PC. They are very different from Android even the Application store are different. The users download the apps from App Store in IOS. It is user-friendly if all your product is using Apple’s devices which means iPhone, Macbook, iPad etc. IOS system is more easy to sync all the device.

Comparison of the application store:

Android is using “Google Play Store”, IOS is using “Apple store”. The purpose is the same that provides a place that user can search and download the application. Since IOS application are built for iPhone but not the tablets, it can work smoothly on both devices but the scale may have different. For Android, they are more customization which the application can scale and optimization to fit various devices. In App Store, the app developers and the software must be approved by Apple before they show in the store. However, Google Play Store is more developers friendly, the developers will no reject by Google. It is easy for the developers to sale the apps on the store, but from the user’s point of view, developers friendly does not assure the quality of the application.

Beside the application store, there is a lot of difference on IOS and Android. Both of them has advantages and disadvantages. It is an endless war of comparing two of them. The system is improving and adding the new features every single day to provide a better performance to the users. Honestly, it is very hard to find out who is the winner.
