What is Iphone?
Iphone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. Iphones run Apple’s IOS mobile operating system. The first Iphone was released on June 29, 2007. Iphones are available in three sizes: the Iphone 6 and 6 Plus, which have a screen size of 4.7 inches (120 mm); the Iphone 6S and 6S Plus, which have a screen size of 5.5 inches (140 mm); and the Iphone SE, which has a screen size of 4 inches (100 mm). Iphones are available in two colors: black and white. Iphones are manufactured by Foxconn, Pegatron, Wistron, and Samsung. Iphones are sold by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and China Mobile. Iphones are also sold in India by Reliance Jio. In September 2016, there were more than 1 billion Iphones in use worldwide.
What is Android?
Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google. It is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software and is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android’s user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Android also runs on specialized Android TV devices and Android Wear smartwatches. Android is also used for personal digital assistants (PDAs), game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics. Android has the largest installed base of any mobile operating system—global market share figures vary depending on the methodology used—and as of 2019 Android devices sell more than Windows, iOS, and macOS devices combined. Android has been the best-selling OS on tablets since 2013 (and runs on 85% of them), and on smartphones, it is dominant by any metric. Android has attracted the interest of major tech companies that see the potential in developing smarter mobile devices including Google itself, Samsung, Motorola Mobility, HTC, LG Electronics, and Sony Ericsson.
Difference between Iphone and Android
Iphone and Android devices differ in many ways. Iphones use the IOS operating system, while Android phones use the Android operating system. Iphones are only available from the Apple Store, while Android phones are available from a variety of manufacturers. Iphones are typically more expensive than Android phones. Iphones also have a different interface than Android phones. Iphones use touch screen gestures and have physical buttons for key functions, while Android phones often have on-screen buttons and no physical buttons. Iphone users can also take advantage of features like Face ID and Apple Pay, which are not available on most Android devices. Ultimately, the decision of which type of phone to purchase depends on personal preferences and needs.
