14 Reasons Why I prefer Android Phone Over Apple IOS based IPhone

iOS and Android both have lots of feature in common, but when it comes to comparison between the two, it largely depends on user’s  taste, own personal preference and kind of usage pattern. Apple fans will always prefer the iPhone OS as it blends with other Apple products such as Apple Mac, IPods and I pads.

Android as well as IOS both have touchscreen and come with swiping and tapping mechanism.  iOS screen have app icons while  android home screen uses widgets for instant updates regarding weather, emails , calls, texts, etc.

With android phone, it requires only limited number of actions to respond to notifications. I do not have to go to each and every app individually to close/open/attend them. The notifications appear as pop-up windows rather than taking over the whole screen of the device which makes it easier to tap away insignificant notifications and stay connected with what I was previously doing.

Apple’s iPhone has a bit restricted usage when it comes to using apps.  Although Apple’s recently launched IOS 8 has a lot of upgraded feature compared to previous versions in terms of apps, Android was already providing all these apps from long before.  And the best part is Google’s Android is constantly updating with new features.
With Android, only it takes to download unlimited apps available online and which is suitable for the operating system.  Let me share why i choose Android Smartphone over Apple IOS based Iphone.
