Android is better than IOS… now here’s why.

I have a friend who is a recent high school graduate and who is now working in the mobile tech field, so I can provide a somewhat accurate assessment of which phone is superior. For starters, Android is not a “phone”; it is an operating system, similar to Windows. So, to be more precise, iOS vs. Android, or Samsung vs. iPhone, I will speak as if they are both just labels for the purpose of debate.

To begin with, iPhones have several significant problems.

iPhones have limited storage space.

You can’t upgrade the memory on your iPhone until you buy a new phone.

iPhones feature distinct hardware.

This may appear to be a benefit, but it is not. We need universality in technology because it makes things much easier to fix.

It is tough to repair iPhones

iPhones are extremely difficult to debug; screen fixes may damage the phone, button repairs on some models might break the phone, and certain items break frequently, such as multi chip failures.

You’re not as safe as you think…

There are various vulnerabilities with all versions of iPhones; they are frequently misrepresented as safe and privacy-focused, but for example, checkra1n enables you to breach encryption while they update to the latest software to combat this; it is intrinsic in every version and there is always a remedy.

The main disadvantage is that they are out of reach owing to their exorbitant price; the designs haven’t improved in several years, but the price has risen; anyone can acquire an old car for less money. The app store is also pricey, and developers are restricted in what they can do because it is closed source.

Now why is Android superior?

A fairly broad range
I won’t dispute that there are many terrible Android phones, some of which are worse than iPhones. However, their market is varied, and there are many decent phones at a reasonable price. There are phones dedicated to privacy, phones dedicated to gaming, phones with incredibly high-quality cameras, and “unbreakable” phones for individuals who are prone to accidents or have a risky work environment.

Inexpensive
I’m not arguing that all androids are affordable; of course, the most recent model of anything is pricey. It is far less expensive than iPhones. iPhones get somewhat better with each generation, but the expense of an upgrade is not worth it. The app store is inexpensive, and because it is open-source, you may use it to replace basic services such as websites or even develop your own phone completely.

Reliable
Again, it is dependent on the model, but a phone made in China is not too bad. Generally, Androids are more trustworthy; they have great battery life, fewer software bugs in my perspective, and are much easier to fix.

The internet speed…

Androids are far more efficient and speedier with the internet, but iPhones are slower and appear to have difficulty estimating the bandwidth and overestimate how much it requires, which might cause connection problems when there are numerous users on the same connection.
How about flaws? The one main disadvantage of androids is that, like Windows, since they are more ubiquitous, they are more vulnerable to virus assaults and hacking.

Overall, I would choose Android because I love the apps it provides, I prefer a large selection of phones to meet any requirement, it is simple to repair/customize, and it is great value for money. However, there are a few reasons why individuals should select an iPhone. For example, if you already own a lot of Apple goods, such as a smartwatch, you want status, and a simpler UI to avoid information overload.
