When it comes to\u00a0buying one of the best\u00a0smartphones,\u00a0the first choice can be the hardest: iPhone or Android. Both offer a lot of great features and they may seem basically the same other than brand and price. However, a closer look shows that there are some key differences. Read on for a closer at look at some of these differences to help you decide whether an\u00a0iPhone or\u00a0Android smartphone is right for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Security<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s true that iOS\u00a0is a more secure platform than\u00a0Android. But if you think that\u00a0iOS\u00a0is impenetrable you\u2019re wrong. However, just 0.7 percent of malware threats were aimed at\u00a0iOS. While this is partly because\u00a0Androids\u00a0have more users, it\u2019s mainly because it\u2019s simply an easier target. Another part of the issue is that\u00a0Android\u00a0users don\u2019t regularly update their smartphones to the latest version which makes is it prone to hacking.\"\"<\/a>
\nPrivacy<\/strong>
\nApple has pushed privacy a little bit further than all of its rivals. With passcodes, fingerprints, and now Touch ID, iPhone became the first smartphone to feature a security measure called the Secure Enclave. Simply put, even Apple itself cannot break into an iPhone if it\u2019s a 5s or later and has been protected with a passcode.<\/p>\n

User-friendly<\/strong>
\nMore people think\u00a0iOS\u00a0is easier, more convenient and enjoyable to use than\u00a0Androids. Turns out that\u00a0iOS\u00a0users are more loyal. Once people have tried the iPhone<\/a> from Buydig.com they tend to stick with it!<\/p>\n

Better\u00a0apps<\/strong>
\nApple has better applications since developers are forced to follow stringent rules before getting their software approved for release. In essence, it\u2019s easier to find good apps as an\u00a0iOS<\/strong>\u00a0user.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPrices<\/strong>
\nAndroids<\/strong>\u00a0are by far cheaper. This is another factor to consider when choosing a smartphone. Apple has a small number of very good phones, and they cost a pretty penny. So when choosing an\u00a0Android,<\/strong>\u00a0you can purchase a smartphone according to your budget really. However, many people think that the higher prices of iPhones are definitely worth it.<\/p>\n

Updates<\/strong>
\nAndroid\u00a0users don\u2019t get notified of new updates unlike\u00a0iOS users. Apple makes sure that\u00a0iOS\u00a0updates reach every user as soon as a new one is released. That\u2019s because Apple<\/a> has complete control over when its operating system updates are released. As a result, any security threats, glitches or bugs are fixed with ultimate efficiency.<\/p>\n

Innovative hardware features<\/strong>
\nThis win goes to\u00a0Androids.\u00a0Due to tough competition amongst\u00a0Android\u00a0smartphones, manufacturers go the extra mile to innovate on hardware. So, you\u2019re offered a smartphone with nifty useful features like an IR blaster, which lets you control TVs, lights and more by using Smart Peanut Plugs from Buydig.com<\/a>. Apple being the sole manufacturer of\u00a0iOS\u00a0has fallen short in this particular area.<\/p>\n

Virtual Assistants
\n<\/strong>iPhones have Siri, Android phones have Google Now. Both do a similar job, but their capabilities differ. Google Now isn\u2019t really a virtual assistant you can have a conversation with, whereas Siri does at least try. Both can be used to set alarms, reminders, get directions, check cinema times and more. They both can send text messages and emails using dictation as well. However, Siri tends to do a better job at understanding the task at hand. She also has a brutal sense of humor. Just try asking her what\u2019s zero divided by zero.<\/p>\n

Ultimately the\u00a0iOS<\/strong>\u00a0vs\u00a0Android<\/strong>\u00a0debate will never end. When all is said and done, it\u2019s really all about personal preference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
