iOS 7VS Android 4.3

iOS 7 VS Android 4.3

iOS and android are the two best operating systems on the market when we are talking about mobile devices.so…. let’s compare them!:

Andoid’s UI is the most customizable in the market, so if you want a music widget on a page, just add it, every icon will change place in order to make space for the widget   to fit in, if you want a new look on your device just search the Google play store for a new launcher like Nova Launcher. The new 4.3 update brought us many changes being the main ones the TRIM support and restricted user profiles, which can be a good thing if you lend your tablet to a child or friend so you can restrict which apps the other user can see and use.

iOS 7  in the other hand is almost a complete UI change from iOS 6, but after all it’s iOS, an OS completely controlled by Apple, that’s not a bad thing, is just a diferent one so you can have widgets or change the themes but, if you want quick toggles, just pull up in any screen to bring up control center. iOS has one big, big, huge advantage in terms of safety and malware over android, each and every app In the store have to face very hard security tests by Apple. Even with the hard security apps have to face, Apple’s app store is still slightly bigger than Google’s store although the gap is closing up.

Smartphones  :

               

		Android	iPhone
Chips		Qualcomm snapdragon 800 Quad Core	Apple A6 Dual Core
	Max.Clockspeed	2,3GHz	1,3GHz
	RAM	2Gb na altura deste post	1Gb
Screen		1920x1080 full HD	1336x640 Retina Display

The numbers look to give android an huge advantage but that’s no true and a very common error. Apple’s software uses every single MHz in the chip and its software is only used by apple devices so they haven’t go the need to be the highest spec ones. In Benchmark’s Android’s Hardware can double the score has the iPhone but in day-to-day terms the iPhone can beat many high spec android ones. 

Tablets:

		Android	iPad with a Retina Display
Chips	Chip	Qualcomm snapdragon 800   quad core	Apple A6X dual core + Quad-core GPU
	Max. Clockspeed	2,3GHz	1,4GHz
	RAM	2Gb (in the tie of this post)	1Gb
Screen		1920x1200 full HD (2560x1600 Nexus 10)	2048x1536 Full HD retina Display

In tablets, the situation is different, just like on the iPhone the numbers may look lower but the tablet is faster, the iPad screen loses only against the nexus 10 but it is still the best tablet on the market due to its app store with about 275,000 applications optimized for tablet against only a few hundred on android. 

When it comes to software updates Apple beats android too. When a new version of ios is thrown, all devices that this update is intended for, worldwide can be updated the minute the updatte is thrown regardless of carrier or country. As for the android ... the story is very different. Nexus devices receive the update directly from Google so are updated almost immediately, but the Samsung and HTC devices and others can take months or even get to never be updated due to the fact that carriers may never want to updated or the OEM never get to do a costum skin  in time, a good example is the Samsung Galaxy Note II which was released in the autumn of 2012 with the android 4.1.2 that's already 2 versions behind the newest version, 4.3, and will probably never be updated due to a possible release of the Samsung Galaxy Note III on IFA Convention in Berlin this September.
