Android vs IOS is the silent battle in the field of high technology of our time. Although there are several operating systems on the market, the two giants in the sector are clearly two: Android and iOS. The first is the system chosen by brands such as Samsung, Huawei (although it remains to be seen in the future) or LG.
The second is exclusive to the Apple brand. It is difficult to clearly specify which of them is better. Although we can make a small analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
Android vs iOS, the battle for the throne of the mobile phone
Advantages of Android
Google's operating system has a clear advantage over its competitor. AND is the wide range of options when choosing mobile phone. There are Android smartphones of all brands and styles. And also of all prices.
Therefore, whether you are looking for the most advanced mobile on the market, or if you prefer something very cheap that fits a not very buoyant pocket, you can always find an option for you.
Another difference between Android and iOS is that Google's is an open source operating system. Therefore, once the code is published, each developer can make any changes they deem necessary. This sometimes benefits the user, who has different layers of customization to choose from.
In the field of Android applications, the app store includes countless of them, as well as Android games. In this sense, both stores of the 2 systems are more or less equal.
Finally, it is interesting to note that some applications for Apple mobiles that are paid for are Returns in the Google operating system.
Advantages of iOS
A great advantage that iOS offers us is less fragmentation. While many versions, models and brands coexist in the different Android mobiles, Apple devices have a more limited area. There are various models of iOS phones and tablets, but not the myriad of Android makes and models.
When it comes to changing your device, iOS also makes things easy for you. With just a couple of clicks, all the information, data and applications that you had on your old iPhone will be on the new one in a matter of minutes.
This is undoubtedly a great advantage to take into account. In addition, the brand Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), It has very controlled both its own software and the applications that are uploaded to its store, which also makes the use and installation of apps much easier.
iOS vs. Android. Windows, the third come to less
In addition to Android vs. iOS, the third operating system with some presence is Windows Phone. Regarding the Microsoft system, the presence of few applications has meant that it has not entered the market too much.
Time will tell if it comes back to life with more force in a few years or if it remains only as a fruitless attempt.

Clearly Android, for so many things that I don't have time to write...
Android of course. More options to choose a device, a greater number of applications, more flexible and, above all, in many cases... cheaper
I see that Android wins, more to choose from, it is not the monopoly of Apple that cooks and eats both the OS and the hardware. I prefer something more open like Android.
