Android and iOS are dominant operating systems developed in different ways. Google and Apple are quite different in terms of culture and how they approach product development. Android from Google and iOS from Apple not only provide operating systems but also provide a mobile development platform since both of them are facing stiff competition against each other. Our Android vs. iOS comparison chart will help you decide which phone might be more suitable for you according to your requirements and personal preferences.

Here are a few key parameters on which both the ecosystems differ:

1. Market Share: Android leads in the section of mobile development. Android leads the market share by over 70% users and iOS stands at the second spot with nearly30% users. This is because of its high scale and level of manufacturing.
2. Development Complexity: Android has a very high development complexity, which means that it generally takes around 30–40% more time to develop an application on Android as compared to iOS. This is because Apple has fewer devices such asi Phones and iPads. In Android, there are many different types of devices, tablets, and smartphones besides their variations in sizes, aspect ratios, and operating systems.
3. Cost: Cost is a major factor that people would look out for. Android requires more testing which iOS doesn’t. Therefore, the cost of investing in the development purpose is less but the investment in the company and the product is more. That’s the reason why iOS devices are a little too costly.
4. Programming Language: Android mainly requires Java and Kotlin which are very easy to learn and understand. On the other hand, iOS requires a basic knowledge of Objective-C or Swift for native development. Objective-C and Swift programming languages are tougher than Java since Java is an open-source programming language and most people know how it works. Besides Java and Kotlin, Android also supports C#, Lua, and ‘BASIC’ as the best programming software’s for its development.
5. Security: Although both ecosystems have built-in security features, Android is less secure when compared to iOS since no protection and checking is done before an outside web source application gets downloaded. iOS is jam-packed with app marketplace security, secure manufacturing process, security updates, support for third-party security software, and source code security. iOS is the most secure OS.
6. Speed& Source Model: Android has a faster mean download speed but iOS devices are much faster than Android ones. Android is an open-source system whereas iOS is a closed-source system with open-source components.
7. Data Storage Format: Android contains external storage which can be accessible by unwanted code. iOS does not contain any external storage making it difficult for the unwanted code to access built-in storage. Android provides an option for expandable memory which iOS doesn’t.

There may be a  lot of Android users across the world but the quality and resistance that iOS offers can never be matched. Android is more customizable and iOS is more privacy-focused. Android’s split-screen support is really useful whereas iOS continuity features are super useful. To sum it up, use whatever makes you happy and let other people do the same. There really is no such thing as the perfect phone or the perfect company. By the end of the day, your decision will come down to which company or ecosystem you trust more and are comfortable with.
