9 advantages of iOS over Android

Android smartphones are in many ways inferior to iPhones, and now we’ll prove it to you.

1. The iPhone has better performance

The flagship iPhones outperform top-end Android models in terms of performance on complex tasks and synthetic texts. Modern services that test performance confirm the large lead of new iPhones.

2. iPhones have the best cameras

Among Android smartphones, the camera boasts: the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with excellent performance in subject capture, and the Google Pixel 2/2 XL perfectly copes with night photos and shots in HDR mode. But, the iPhone 8 Plus camera outperforms them in simple natural light and portrait mode productions, in terms of quality and visual comfort.

3. Better software and hardware integration

Every technological advancement on the iPhone is compatible with many iOS apps to provide additional features and enjoyment. Highlights include 3D Touch and a unique portrait mode with photo processing. Not to mention advanced facial recognition technology. While everything on the iPhone is designed in-house, the Android phones are limited to their shell, and only Google can change this.

4. The iPhone is the easiest and most intuitive to use

While Android smartphone makers are only promising to optimise their shells and make them lighter, iOS on the iPhone has long been considered as the easiest and most straightforward system to use. The lack of design changes is perceived by some users as a drawback. But the simplicity and recognizable appearance of the device becomes an advantage with regular improvements in iOS, because changing smartphones does not entail long habituation, learning the interface and finding familiar options.

5. Updates to the iPhone are rapid and extensive

One of the definite advantages of iPhone are system updates, which are applied almost simultaneously to all compatible devices. For example, more than 70% of iPhone owners have already installed iOS 11. The statistics on the coverage of new Android versions is much more modest.

6. The best apps appear on iOS first

The majority of apps and games appear on iOS before they are available on Google Play. The reason is that iOS app development yields much higher profit margins than Android apps.

7. The iPhone is fully protected from pre-installed “junk”

Apple thoroughly controls the software, leaving no chance for pre-installed services from third-party developers to infiltrate. Whereas, many Android smartphones are plugged in with various apps of no particular use.

8. More options when using a Mac

The advent of the “Continuity” option allows you to receive call and message notifications via your MacBook. If you’re writing an email or editing a document on your iPhone, you can continue to do so on your Mac.

9. Better service and support

There is no one-stop-shop for Android smartphone problems. The owner has to sort things out by himself or give his phone to the first handyman. When an iPhone owner can’t find the answers on the Apple website or during a service consultation, he or she goes to an authorised service centre.
