When it’s time to upgrade your smartphone you have many choices. There are many different models, colors, and brands. In addition, there are many different data plans required for specific phones. But ultimately there is one question that will be crucial in your decision:

Which is better Android or Apple’s iPhone?

To compare each phone is similar to comparing apples and oranges. Each phone has its strong points and weaknesses. Let’s start with the Android phones. There are plenty of different models out there that carry the Android OS. In addition, the Android OS is highly customizable and allows you to change every aspect of the user interface and even has animated backgrounds. As far as Apps go, the Android market has over 200k and continues to grow. And finally, the major winner for the Android phone is the screen size. Some of the newer models have screen sizes as big as 4.5”.

Now let’s look at the iPhone. The iPhone is the only phone that works with Apples iOS platform. But that is not a bad thing considering Apple has invested much time and research in making iOS a superior way to make calls and surf the internet. In addition, the major three phone companies: AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint all carry the iPhone. The iPhone itself is a piece of art made out of stainless steel and a special type of glass that is 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic. When it comes to Apps, Apples App store is the clear winner with over 500k and growing. The only caveat to the iPhone is there is no choice in display size which is still at 3.5”.

In closing, you can’t go wrong with either the Android or iPhone. Each of these phone platforms are revolutionary in the technology they bring to smartphone users. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and each of these phones delivers in terms of Apps and call quality.
