    8 Things that iOS does better than Android

    Billions of smartphones and tablets worldwide are powered by the two leading mobile operating systems – iOS and Android. While each platform has its unique strengths and weaknesses, catering to different user preferences, iOS has certain advantages over Android. Here are a few places where iOS excels over Android.

    1. Performance 

    iOS is known for delivering smoother and faster performance compared to Android, thanks to its tight integration of hardware and software. Apple’s processors, designed specifically for iOS devices, ensure optimal performance. Additionally, Apple maintains control over software updates, which ensures that all eligible devices receive the latest features and security patches as soon as they are released.

    Stricter guidelines are imposed on app developers who wish to publish their apps on the App Store, resulting in fewer buggy and poorly optimized apps. Furthermore, iOS devices have fewer variations in screen sizes, resolutions, and hardware specifications, making it easier for developers to create consistent and high-quality apps.

    2. Simplicity 

    iOS is simple to use, with a minimalist and intuitive interface that anyone can master quickly. Although iOS has fewer customization options than Android, it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s a bad thing. It makes the UI less cluttered and there’s less confusion for users who just want a straightforward experience. iOS also has a consistent design language across all its apps and services, creating a seamless user experience.

    3. Security 

    iOS is more secure than Android, due to its closed ecosystem and strict app review process. Apple has more control over what apps can access your device, and it can revoke permissions or remove malicious apps remotely if needed. Apple also encrypts your data by default on your device and in iCloud backups, making it harder for hackers or third parties to access your personal information.

    4. Privacy

    Apple’s business model places a high value on privacy, which makes iOS more privacy-friendly than Android. Unlike Google, which collects and shares user data for advertising purposes, Apple does not engage in this practice. Additionally, with its App Tracking Transparency feature, Apple empowers users to control how apps track them across various websites and applications.

    5. Ecosystem: 

    Apple’s ecosystem provides a range of benefits for users, including seamless integration across devices, high levels of security and privacy, quality hardware and software, exclusive apps and services, and regular updates and support. These advantages make it challenging for users to switch to Android, as they would lose access to the cohesive user experience between Apple devices.

    Additionally, many users have invested significant time and money into the Apple ecosystem, such as purchasing apps, media, and accessories, which further reinforces their loyalty to the platform.

    6. Long-term software support:

    Compared to Android, iOS updates are provided by Apple for a longer duration, usually 5 years or more from the release of a device. As a result, older devices can receive ongoing software updates and security patches, enhancing their performance and extending their longevity.

    7. iOS has better apps

    Apple’s App Store is known for its strict review process, which is designed to ensure that apps meet certain quality standards before they are made available to users. This can result in a more consistent user experience, as users can expect a certain level of quality and security from the apps they download. Additionally, Apple has historically had more stringent requirements for developers, which can result in a higher barrier to entry but can also lead to a more curated selection of apps.

    8. Video recording

    Apple has complete control over the hardware and software of their devices, allowing them to optimize the camera app specifically for the iPhone’s camera hardware. As a result, video recording on the latest iPhones is significantly better than on Android flagships. However, Android manufacturers are slowly catching up.

    iOS vs Android: It no longer matters

    Regardless of which one you choose, both operating systems have a vast selection of high-quality apps and games, regular updates, and robust support from their respective companies. Ultimately, the choice between iOS and Android comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of the user. In today’s market, you can’t go wrong with either.
