How the iPhone 4 Beats Android
With the new Apple iPhone 4 and Google Android operating systems in close competition to win over the public, it can be confusing to know which is best at what. While it can often come down to individual user habits and preferences, mobile gadget gurus have tested the two rivals and made some interesting comparisons.
Both types of operating system have their strengths and weaknesses, plus depending on the testing criteria there are times where both reach a tie as equals. Since both companies are consistently releasing advancements and upgrades which allow for a host of exciting features to excite users, no-one definitively knows however which competitor will end up winning the race.
The following guide outlines the key areas that Apple’s latest iPhone 4 star is said to outshine Google’s Android wonder.
Fuss-free Navigation
Users report that it’s easy to pick up any iPhone and quickly understand what’s what without any fuss. iPhones have one main button at the front of the handset, which allows you to simply tap app icons from the home screen. Android devices in comparison have several buttons on the front of the device that perform a range of different functions and ways of doing things from the home screen, not to mention that this is further complicated by the fact that different Android model designs are released by a range of manufacturers.
Varied Data App Synchronisation
If you’re an intensive user of applications such as Address Book, Outlook or iTunes, an iPhone will be your best bet for easy synchronisation with them. Android is great at seamlessly syncing with Google’s servers, but not as happy to tie in with other popular sources of data.
Gaming
If you’re a hardcore gamer, you will certainly at this point choose the latest iPhone 4 over an Android mobile – while the Android gaming market is without a doubt steadily growing, Apple is currently still on top in this area.
Music
iPhones come standard with the sound and trusted iPod app for their media player capabilities. In contrast, one of the regular complaints about Android is their default media player, which many users will want to find an alternative replacement for. Thus, if you use your mobile alot for music, the iPhone is at present still the winner.
Consistency of Releases and Updates
To make the most of your mobile phone, its operating system is crucial. Apple has raised the bar on this to give users the expectation of regular new feature updates even if it isn’t the latest iPhone 4. The company releases one new phone and one major update each year, plus when an update is released it rolls out to every iPhone at the same time (there are exceptions such as for example the original iPhone won’t upgrade to iOS4). Android in comparison runs on a wide range of different devices, with the result being that when Google releases a new update there’s no telling when or if it’s going to make its way to your particular phone.
Battery Longevity
Apple has shown that it has made convenient battery life a priority with its iPhones, particularly with the new iPhone 4 – in most cases it beats Android devices in this category. While Android lovers might say that this is an acceptable trade-off for the wealth of features and apps that Android phones can offer, if battery performance is crucial to you then the iPhone 4 is a reliable winner.
Conclusion
The above guide gives you the main ways in which your iPhone 4 is leading the race against Google’s Android technology. The competition between the two operating systems is constantly in flux however, which is great for us as consumers since it keeps both companies on their toes and hungry to win the biggest share of the mobile marketplace by offering the most cutting edge features and improvements possible.
