Android

Win Some, Lose Some

VsiOS

Demand

• Christmas sets in a mood where finding the perfect gift is no easy task

• Smartphones remain on the top of the wishlist

• The war between Google & Apple gets stronger

The Friction

• For mobile app developers across the world, both Android & iOS seem to be the right side to choose

• So if we have Kotlin making headlines for Android, we do have Swift going strong for iOS

• It is a fact that there is no winner, rather both have their own approaches going strong and it is really the case of win some, lose some

And the Battle of Wits

The Store Access

• Studies indicate that Android development is 30% expensive as compared to iOS, however, it is worth it as Android occupies nearly 80% of the market

• The Google Playstore allows enterprises to pre-register for a wide variety of apps that are yet to be released, while AppStore did the same in extremely limited cases

• Apple has redesigned their flagship product with the launch of iOS 11 to beat Android

Device Fragmentation

“When it comes to device independence, it is a tough call for Android”

User Base & Revenues

“iOS boasts of a niche user base, whereas Android believes in stronger market penetration for a generic user

base.

And all in all the revenues for iOS are much higher than Android”

Development Environment

“When it comes to the environment, it is difficult to pinpoint who has an advantage”

Guidelines for App Design

“Android guidelines are relatively clear on how developers should adopt its language and framework as

compared to iOS”

App Release

“For enterprises looking for quicker Go-Market times it is clear that Android development is a winner. The

additional advantage is that it is easier on the pocket too”

Gaming Development

“The kind of hardware to software integration existing with iOS empowered devices allows for better

supported tools”

Security

iOS based apps, while not 100% secure, definitely lend an edge in this area as compared to Android

Ceasefire?

• The war just began only less than a decade ago.

• iOS vs Android has different flavors; user interfaces, experiences, seamlessness with hardware, quality of apps and of course development

“Android & iOS are nothing short of cults nurtured by Google & Apple respectively.

One nurtured by the idea of a community, the other driven by the ideology of a lone man even after he is gone”

Updates

• The fanatic war continues, and Android & iOS battle grows into a never-ending saga.

• Android Oreo gets eclipsed by none and iOS 11 rocks too

iOS 11 Android 8 (Oreo)
