Apple iOS vs. Android OS...Popular Beliefs, Myths, and Icons

Popular Beliefs, Myths, and Icons

            The most popular belief is that the iOS from Apple beats the Android OS. This is a belief because it is true. Here you will see a chart from Black Friday of 2012. You can see well over half of data, 77% to be exact, searched for shopping came from the iOS devices such as the iPhone or iPad rather than any Android OS across all phones and tablets.
            
     A popular myth or theory is that most iOS buyers are specifically buying their devices for the features they can access, while most Android users are just buying what is available to them (Ryan Kim, 2012). This means that a person buying an iPhone or an iPad knows why they are buying that Apple product and knows what the device can do. As for the Android users, they are just buying the phone or tablet because it has a deal (a free Android phone with a 2-year contract) or because it is cheaper than an Apple product.
            
     Either side of the battle you may choose, they are both icons in today’s world. Although Apple is way more established and has been around since the 1970’s, Android has made a name for themselves and fast. In my personal choice, I am an Apple fan boy. Apple has nothing but quality in mind when they make a product, where as when I owned an Android phone (for a brief time) it felt like it was cheaply made and fragile. Both iconic dealers will be around for a long time, as long as they have fan boys on both sides, there will always be a battle for the best.

  1. I completely agree with you about this, i am also a big fan about Apple products, i think they are they are the best at this time and will be always the best, and they will always invent products that will exceeds our imagination, you can't expect what Apple will do in their next products, and that's what i love them, and that's why they are always number one.
