iOS and Android

The battle of iOS and Android has been going on for years. The two are far and away the first two choices for mobile operating system. There are so many aspects to each, it would be impossible to expand on each and every one, however they do require a bit of explanation. There are many things to each that add to the argument, whether for or against. One of the biggest arguments for the Android operating system is the customizability. iOS and Android have both become quite powerful over the years and there are many advantages and disadvantages to each.

When you start up an iPhone, you will always be greeted by basically the same thing. Apart from the last major update to iOS 7, the interface has remained largely the same over the years. Android however has undergone major facelifts in updates, and through customization by apps, themes, and homescreen launcher applications. One of the best things about Android is everything in the operating system can be replaced by a different app. You can swap out the keyboard, camera, and even the app controlling the homescreen. This has led to entire communities dedicated to the appearance of your homescreen, sharing pictures of the screen to friends or publicly.

This choice is not for everyone and can be time consuming to some. On iOS there is very little one can do to customize the appearance, and some are perfectly content with that. However to Android fans this is one of the best features, an ability to truly make a device customized to you.
