Apple's recently unveiled iPhone 7 is a tempting upgrade, whether you currently have an iPhone or have been considering acquiring one. But for a lot of people, the yearly bazaar encompassing Apple's iPhone event is a reminder that they aren't really certain where they stand on the iOS versus Android debate.
Google always makes a few jabs at iOS or the iPhone when it unveils a new version of the Android or takes the wraps off of a new Nexus phone. And not a single iPhone event passes by without Apple bragging about how iOS is better than Android.
Each company that makes smartphones, whether it's Apple, Samsung, LG, Lenovo, Huawei, Xiaomi, or another company, has its own unique approach to building phones, designing its user interface and apps, and selling its devices to consumers.
iOS or Andriod?
So would you purchase a new iPhone or a high-end Android smartphone? Nowadays, the answer depends on less on concrete factors - like the phone's features, specs, and price - and more on theoretical factors like how much you like a specific operating system and which smartphone maker feels like the right choice for you. That because on paper, flagship phones are looking increasingly alike, with comparable specs and focused competitive price points.
It all depends on YOU
Choosing between iOS and Android comes down to determining which one feels right for you. An ideal way to figure that out is to go to your carrier's store or the local electronics store and try out a variety of different phones. Among Android telephones, one device can look vastly different from the next. That's because the only "pure Android" phones are Nexus phones. T
he rest have UIs that are modified by manufacturers and feature extra apps and add-ons. The question of iOS versus Android is a pretty personal one. While you'll find opinionated people on both sides of the debate, it's not until you consider your priorities and your preferences that you'll be able to make the decision that's right for you.
