iphone vs android 2

Background If hardened iPhone user, I tried a few weeks Android. I have the Nexus 5 used to see.

differences

In 2008 I bought my first smartphone, and that was an iPhone 3G. Three years ago, I replaced it with an iPhone 4 and still. These I use today I do not have 4G, a super fast processor and have switched to iOS 7 is not made.

I thought it might be to try an Android device interesting and am as avid iPhone user gone a few weeks to work on a Nexus 5. I once played with an Android, but have never taken such a device actually in use. Given the passion on both sides of platform trailers, it seemed like once every two lay side by side.

And now I know them both, I’ll tell you something strange: there really is not much difference between the two. If you have only a little IT refuse to respond is a mobile OS a mobile OS, though they differ on points. Some things I find positive, other aspects are less.

all I get negative responses: yes, I use an old iPhone, so the experience you’re used may be quite different. This is not a review, but a picture of my experiences with Android after I’ve used. IOS five years I therefore do not focus on the hardware, but look mainly to the different operating systems and services.


Adaptable but fragmented

One of the big differences between Android and iOS is that you can make. an Android device much better own A friend and avid Android user told me how to replace ROMs and feel like you have a different phone is one of the nice things about Android. But it also has a downside.

One of the enjoyable things about the iPhone is that it simply does. You get out of the box, put it at him and the rest is more or less automatically. If I run into something, I can always file a request to another user. Even if you have an early version of the OS, the operating system works pretty much the same.

Android depends only way from the producer device has made. They make adjustments. Providers make adjustments. Users make adjustments. This makes the system very attractive for all parties, but it can be complicated if you have a problem. I had an issue with Android KitKat and could only be helped by people who have the latest vanilla version, so no additives had.


Now Google and other services

If you use Google services – and I do – you’ll be fine with Android, because they are tightly integrated into the operating system. This is especially true for Google Now, the virtual assistant that learns what you want to know and presents information that is important to you based on your calendar and location. Whether the weather and public transport. Well I’m really happy.
