A Starting Point
You can evaluate iPhone and Android devices from countless angles, so rather than pretend that we've got the One True Comparison, it only seems appropriate to highlight that we're not necessarily your average user. For more specifics on how we judge these devices, read this footnote.
For our purposes, we're measuring each phone OS against 20 features we care about most, declaring a winner (or a tie) for

Android's brilliant pull-down window shade notification tray, on the other hand, is a beautiful thing that could make any iPhone owner jealous.
Voice-to-Text; Winner: Android
Nearly every text field on an Android device can be filled with a few words from your mouth, and it works surprisingly well. You can respond to emails by voice, send long text messages by voice while you're walking around Target, respond to your editor's IMs while you're at a graduation ceremony, and so on, as long as you're comfortable talking to your phone (it is a phone, so you should be). Apart from voice-to-text in third party apps, iOS doesn't support voice-to-text at all.
Syncing; Winner: Android iPhones can be incredible standalone devices, but they're surprisingly old-fashioned when it comes to syncing, requiring users to plug into their computers and connect to iTunes to do all sorts of syncing and activating that could be more conveniently done wirelessly. Android phones support pretty great over-the-air syncing with your Google account, so much so that if you were to lose your previous Android phone, simply entering your Google account into a new one can get you up and running with a usable phone in a jiffy.
Non-Google Sync; Winner: iPhone
Android's great at syncing seamlessly with Google's servers, but it's not so keen on syncing with other popular sources of data—like, say,
HTC faces stiff competition with Apple and Samsung. Apple’s iPhone is considered as the benchmark of the industry and operators such as Spring is willing to pay $15.5 billion dollars to Apple just to have the right to sell iPhone. These demonstrates the popularity and the strength of iPhone. Furthermore, Apple’s iOS has much higher number of application downloads and higher revenue for the developers than the Android system. This signifies that developers with limited resources might only release their newest application for iOS. This is shown through the number of available apps for iOS against Android, with iOS having around 200,000 more apps than Android. This makes iOS more attractive than Android to the consumer. This in
When people are deciding to buy a smart phone a lot of questions are raised in their head before choosing one. Should I get an Android or an Iphone? How much do I want to spend on a smart phone? Which phone has features that are beneficial to me? What specifications does each phone have? Some people would say Iphones are better than Androids, while others say that Androids are better than Iphones. When looking at a Galaxy S5 and the Iphone 5s there are major differences between them.
Essentially, Android phones are cheaper and have more options making them more wallet-friendly to the average consumer. The iPhone however, is geared toward a very specific market segment that knows what to expect and they salivate over the future of Apple’s devices. Because the Android market is segmented by the many different devices and device manufacturers, the experience is less unified and users often find applications that may not work with their specific devices. This, combined with Google’s insistence on keeping the Android OS ‘open’, also makes Android phones more susceptible to hackers and various usage issues. These are much less prevalent on iOS devices.
Apple has been chasing the functionality of Android for the longest time, but ever since Apple released iOS8, Apple finally took over. iPhone software is remotely the same every year, which enables them to be more unique and clean. Even though Apple is a better more updated company, rather than Android, Apple is more user friendly than Android because Apple bring people together with emojis and group chats, something Android can 't promise their users. More people own a Apple device of some sort over Android or Samsung.
Smartphones are combining cellphones and PDAs (Personal Data Assistant) into a single device system which offers some more than just a basic computer.

In terms of connectivity, they both allow 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi connection. Like all modern smart phones, they are both based on very similar downloadable applications, and both include a very similar app store. Like the iPhone, the Android also includes a similar notification center, allowing users to view a log of missed calls, text messages, and other notifications from apps.
Manjoo is wrong when he claims “Most android phones are crap” (Manjoo). This is not to say Android is completely flawless, but rather it’s good qualities and characteristics outway its bad. I believe that those unfamiliar with this school of thought may be interested to know that it basically boils down to what level of technology experience you possess not just the basics of the phone’s manufacturing. Android phones are for tech savvy users that like to have 100% control of what they own. From the layout of

I am going to be telling you which is better IPhone or Android and the reasons why it is and isn’t. The IPhone is better because it is more simplistic and in my opinion easier to use. The IPhone has sold 421 million phones this year and the Droid has sold 295 million this year so as you can see the IPhone even sells better. Now both are great phones but the iPhone is better because it’s an apple product and it’s simpler than the droid on any day.
There are more differences that Androids and IPhone have and in case you have more request or if you have to know more about it, the web is all that much open to answer you and give every one of you the information you require.

On the Galaxy S6, there is a large vibrant screen, but yet it still weighs less than the iPhone. According to PC Magazine, the Pixels Per Square Inch (PPI) on a Galaxy is 577, and the iPhone has a ppi of 326.

Not only does the Galaxy have a more densely pixelated screen but it weighs less too; The iPhone is 5.04 oz and the Galaxy is 4.87 (Kumar 2015). That may not seem like much, but to some people, it is. When looking at the Galaxy’s display, some people may notice that
Imagine your life without the iPhone 4S. You would have many inconveniences and troubles. You would have battery shortages on your cell phone and you would carry unnecessary weight with you. My name is Matthew Wong. I believe that the iPhone 4s is better than the Samsung Galaxy S II. If you’re new to the “smartphone” world, you may not know which smartphone to choose. Is it Apple’s iPhone 4s, which seems like a good choice to everybody, or Samsung’s Galaxy S II? The Apple 's iPhone 4S is obviously the right choice because it has an elegant design, a razor-sharp resolution, and is more portable compared to the Samsung Galaxy S II.
