We buy a new phone once every few years, so the choice between the iPhone and the Android smartphone is a decision with which we will live for a long time. So let’s know what we really get for our money.
What does the iPhone do better?
- Safety without compromises: Apple built a fortress. Each application in the App Store undergoes a detailed verification, and the system has limited rights to bury in our data. It is no accident that loud viruses and malware rarely touch the users of these smartphones.
- Updates over the years: Did you buy an iPhone three years ago? You will still get the latest system. Apple supports its phones for 5-6 years, while most android smartphones after 2-3 years pass to a digital pension. Google with your pixels, Samsung and OnePlus recently Also for a long time they get updates, but before buying it is better to check how many years they are planned in each specific model.
- Liquidity that is difficult to fake: Even the cheapest iPhone SE works flawlessly. You will not find here a typical “silting” for cheap Androids after a few months. iOS is masterfully optimized for specific iPhone models – Apple controls both hardware and software.
- Ecosystem that works great: On Apple phones, you can copy the text on the iPhone and paste it on the MacBook, answer the phone on the iPad or send photos between devices in a second. No Android manufacturer has created such a coherent ecosystem. If you use several Apple devices, you feel that everything goes together.
Where does Android still win?
- Freedom of choice and personalization: In Android you can change virtually everything – from icons to the entire interface. Apple in this segment for considerable restrictions.
- Prices for every budget: Even for less than PLN 1,000 you can buy a decent Android. For PLN 1,000 you won’t even buy an iPhone display. By entering the Android store, you have a choice from budgetrs to flagships. Apple gives you a choice between “dear” and “very expensive”. Even a used iPhone costs more than a new Android smartphone with similar parameters.
- Hardware innovations at your fingertips: Most new technological ideas are born on Android phones, such as folding screens or 120W charging and more. Apple introduces new technologies carefullyonly when they are checked. Android smartphones experiment bolder.
- Freedom to use files: Android allows you to manage data easier, both when connecting to the computer and when setting your own bell. On the iPhone, these operations are more limited.
For whom the iPhone, and for whom android?
If you value security, a coherent ecosystem and smooth operation, the iPhone will be a better choice. When you care about freedom of personalization, a larger choice of devices and a lower price, head towards Android. No system is perfect. Both iOS and Android have their strengths and weaknesses.
