Apple fanboys and fangirls… brace yourself! You’re about to learn 10 reasons why we think that Google’s Android is a better operating system for mobile devices than Apple’s iOS. It’s a showdown that has been raging for several years, is often controversial and divides opinion between smartphone users like nothing else.
Before we kick off, let us say that we believe Apple iPhones and iPads are great devices and iOS is an equally great operating system, BUT over the last couple of years, Android has overtaken iOS as the most powerful, versatile and used mobile device operating system and here are the top ten reasons why…
Reason #1 – Device Choice
Many phone manufacturers build handsets that run the Android operating system, from Samsung, HTC and Sony, to LG, Motorola and Huawei. This means a much greater choice of handsets for consumers in terms of device and screen size, price, build materials, colour and internal specs. With iOS, other than the various iPhone release models (e.g. iPhone4, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) you are stuck with an iPhone – take it or leave it.
