The confrontation between iOS and Android — the eternal theme for Polivanov. Two opposing camps are willing to rant and rave, proving that their choice is the best. And each story transition from Android to iOS and Vice versa will inevitably cause a heated discussion on the Internet. Edition Ain shared the story of a journalist who has returned to the iPhone 6 after he decided to go to the flagship Samsung Galaxy S6. He named two reasons why the South Korean handset has no chance against the iPhone 6.
“Every month I publish a rating of the best smartphones available on the market. When I wrote another list, I thought, if I now asked what the coolest phone today — what would I say? The latest iPhone is always at the top of the list, but I must say that the Samsung Galaxy S6 behind him.
Galaxy S6 is a great phone. It has the best screen, one of the best camera and wonderful design. He’s gorgeous. But there are two things that make me refrain from recommending it instead of the iPhone, and not that this is entirely the fault of Samsung. All claims to the Android ecosystem and reluctant to update the software on most devices.
Before you ask, I will say that Android is a great operating system, I like to use it. It can all the same, iOS, and more. Problem Android software. For Android can exist for any of the top apps that you need, but the sadness is that they a priori are uglier and glucina than their iOS version.
Why is it so? Yes, because developers tend primarily to produce a product for the iPhone, and then Android. When you start a new application, it likely will appear first on iOS.
Android can deduct 80% of the smartphone market, but the developers earn more on iOS, so iPhone they try better. It seems this trend is gradually eroding, but on the final alignment of priorities will take time to achieve. Here’s indicative timetable: despite the fact that Google Play is growing rapidly, App Store developers still earn more. Developers go where more money. In the end the best apps available for the iPhone and not on Android.
Every time I try to use “Google phone”, I’m struck by the fact, look how much worse apps for Android than for iOS. Even Internet giants like Facebook and Twitter are Android how to a second-rate platform.
Of course, it’s great that Android is suitable for any device, but imagine what a burden for the developer to test your program on each of them. As for the iPhone, then there are a lot of options that should please the authors of the applications.
The application ecosystem is the most important part of any smartphone. The application is 100% your mobile activity, and I think only need to use the best. By itself, Android is good, but until then, until developers will cease to treat him with disdain, he will remain a product of the second grade.
The second problem Android is an upgrade cycle. Device manufacturers, Samsung, release new version with added in them his own features and design. This is not the Android that Google makes and installs on its own line of Nexus smartphones.
As a result, most Android devices can’t get the latest OS update and long work on older versions, in which no new features and capabilities. And manufacturers, including Samsung, not much in a hurry to release the update for customers who already have bought the device. Some even ignore the updates and not doing for their devices, which is great.
Apple released updates for its devices the age of three or even more. Buy an iPhone, you can be sure that it will always be the most current available functions. And with Android it is difficult to say whether there will be they have you ever”.
