Apple Vs Android : The Cold War Of Mobile World


Apple Vs Android


The Apple Vs Android debate has been raging on for a long time now and it was never this big. For long Apple had been the reigning king of smartphones. Whether it be the simplistic yet beautiful hardware or their efficient software, Apple left most of its competition far behind. But, that was certainly pinching Google. So, as we all know, led to the evolution of Android. The mighty OS which has risen in popularity far surpassing many of the big fish and proving to be a strong competitor to Apple and has resulted in a virtual war of Apple Vs Android. Though Apple's iOS is currently quite ahead of Google's Android in most aspects, but the rate at which the latter is growing, must be bringing sleepless nights for Steve Jobs.

Most people these days while buying a smartphone are confused between this Apple vs Android scenario.

I have seen people inside stores bugging the sales guys asking whether to go for Apple or Android and hence giving more flame to the Apple vs Android war. Most of you must have gone through the graphs that depict how Android is gaining its market share and Apple has nowhere to go but down. Well, its all true folks. Recent official trends do suggest that although Apple is holding quite a big chunk of the market share but in a few years it could be quite the opposite. Most of the reasons that are cited for such rapid growth of Android are vey obvious to say the least. Whether it be open source OS, a vast majority of app developers, cell-phone manufacturers providing free hardware and what not. Everything, in the raging war of apple vs android seems to be going in Android's way!

Let us take a closer look at who is winning at the waging war of

Apple Vs Android


1. Proprietary Vs Open Source OS
Apple governs its own rights on its iOS. This has proved to be a boon for Google's Android. The Android is free and open source which means any one can have a look and alter its code. This has resulted in a massive proportion of the population of application coders to either opt or switch to Android.
So, In the war of Apple Vs Android - Advantage Android

2. The Apps
Though Google claims that its Android Market is enormously expanding and what not but the reality is that presently it stands nowhere near the Apple's App Store. Also, personally I would like to point out that the most popular of Android apps are actually already famous on the iOS and hence are transported to another platform. I dont think there is any app that was transported from Android to Apple because of its popularity.
So, In the war of Apple Vs Android - Advantage Apple

3. The Hardware
I personally am a fan of Apple's hardware. The way they manage to simplify design and bring about elegance in every device is an achievment in itself. But they have also kept their prices quite higher than a normal user like me would like to see. So, here comes the Android, with companies like LG and Samsung literally providing free hardware to anyone whos interested. And if you are willing to spend a little more you could probably be holding a device that can cause the geniuses at Apple to drool!
So, In the war of Apple Vs Android - Advantage Android

4. Recent Trends
This is one of the most important factors and I have kept this at last because I wanted you to read the whole post ;)

Clearly, Apple might be at the top currently but looking at the big picture you can easily see the downward slope of Apple as compared to the steep hike of Android.
So, In the war of Apple Vs Android - Advantage Android

5. App Developers
This is anothe crucial factor. The Apple app developers are having a hard time uploading their apps on the app store as they have to go through all the checks and what not. On the other hand, Google has declared that Android developers are free to post their apps on Android Market. Hence more an better apps are on the way for Android users.
So, In the war of Apple Vs Android - Advantage Android

Considering all the above factors, I can confidently say that Android has got a ver bright future and in the war of Apple Vs Android , the winner is going to be Android.

Very thorough observation. "Apple kept their prices quite higher"->this is true. I think this is the major factor why people are considering the Android smartphone. When it comes to the features and functions, those two are almost neck to neck. The only difference is the price. People will always consider smartphones that they can afford.

maybe it is a lot of features in the android-like features found on the iphone, but I hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.
