This is a constant debate that i often fall into with friends who uses Iphone, some of this think that i should do a commercial for android
For the average user really NO Difference, both phones make calls and do MOST of the tasks same way, BUT there are few differences that made even my dad go with an android phone, lets see some of these that really matter to most of us
More phone customization choices for Android:
I’m not talking here about the phone theme, background or colors but also about the start up screens, start up launchers and even keyboards and phone dialers, when it comes to how you want to use your phone, Android have more choices for personalization.
More choices for phone hardware:
When it comes to IPhone, its one and only one (take it or leave kinda deal), vs Android is an operating system that come installed on many different brands of phones from different manufacturers, so you have more choices of what you want in your phone as well as how much you want to pay for it.
Dont have to buy a phone every time a new operating system released:
Every time apple releases a new IOS, you know this means that you need a new phone to get the new bells and whistles, this is NOT the case for Android, most android phone manufacturers, simply release an update for the new AOS which you can simply install it on your phone and its new again.
There is only one IPhone Flavor:
Because Iphone operating system is owned by Apple, there is no way anybody can modify the functions or add new ones without breaking your agreement with apple. now with Android, being the FREE, OPEN SOURCE operating system released to the public, anybody with some programming background can FULLY modify a complete AOS and install it on their phones or share it with other, there is a huge android developers community that makes perfectly working Android AOS that you can download for FREE and install on your phone without breaking any rules.
You dont need to jailbreak Android phones:
In order to install apps from your SD memory card or any apps outside the app market, you have to jailbreak Iphone which means you have to be an outcast, no warranty, no support, nothing, simply because you are thinking of installing competitive apps to what THEY CHOSE to put on THIER phones, on the other hand with Android phones is a chekmark added in the settings window is really all it takes to allow apps to be installed from your SD (off Market)
More apps on the Android app market:
Yes, its official now, and i should add, most of them are free apps, more than paid ones. as well as Android app market is OPEN for COMPETITORS, just because Android comes with its own browser, doesn’t mean they have to Ban other competitors from adding their apps to the market, I wish this was the case for Apple app market.
And finally, SIRI :
Apple made a big deal (and a whole new phone) just because they came up with an app that Android had since day one, seriously, on android phones we have the native voice search functions and voice dialer that comes with any phone, not to mention, similar to SIRI, on the android market app there are many ( my girl is Jeanie, because she is FREE)
so next time you are out there shopping for a new phone, remember this,
Turn OFF the Iphone commercial running in your head and look for a phone where you can pay less and get more.
