The document discusses the differences between Android and iOS operating systems, highlighting their features, user interfaces, and market shares. Android, which is open-source and highly customizable, is used by various manufacturers, while iOS is exclusive to Apple devices and offers a more uniform user experience. Key pros and cons for both operating systems are also summarized, focusing on app ecosystems, integration, hardware selection, and customization options.

4. Google's Android and Apple’s iOS are operating systems used primarily in mobile technology, such as
smartphones and tablets. Android, which is Linux-based and partly open source, is more PC-like than iOS, in
that its interface and basic features are generally more customizable from top to bottom. However, iOS'
uniform design elements are sometimes seen as being more user-friendly.
You should choose your smartphone and tablet systems carefully, as switching from iOS to Android or
vice versa will require you to buy apps again in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Android is now the
world’s most commonly used smartphone platform and is used by many different phone manufacturers. iOS is
only used on Apple devices, such as the iPhone.

5. CHAPTER 3: WHAT IS ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)
Android is a mobile Operating System built on the Linux Kernel for devices such as
smartphones, tablets, watches, Cars and TV’s and it’s currently developed and owned
by Google Inc.
There are over 1 million apps in the Android market (Google Play store).
Android OS also provides a friendly an easy to use interface so that anyone can
use it.
It was founded in Palo Alto in California, United States by Andy Rubin in 2003
before it was acquired by Google Inc. in August 2005.

6. CHAPTER 4: WHAT IS IPHONE OPERATING SYSTEM (IOS)
iOS (Formerly known as iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system derived from Mac OS X(Unix-like
Operating System) developed by Apple Inc. mainly for iphones but can support other devices such as : ipod
classic, ipod touch, ipod shuffle, ipod Nano, ipad and Apple TV. Distributed exclusively for Apple hardware. It is the
operating system that powers many of the company's iDevices. It was founded by Steve Jobs in June 2007.

10. CHAPTER 6: INTERFACE
iOS and Android both use touch interfaces that have a lot in common - swiping,
tapping and pinch-and-zoom. Both operating systems boot to a home screen, which
is similar to a computer desktop. While an iOS home screen only contains rows of
app icons, Android allows the use of widgets, which display auto-updating
information such as weather and email. The iOS user interface features a dock
where users can pin their most frequently used applications.
A status bar runs across the top on both iOS and Android, offering information such
the time, Wi-Fi or cell signal, and battery life; on Android the status bar also shows
the number of newly received emails, messages and reminders. Many different
manufacturers make Android phones and they often include some customization
over the vanilla Android experience. E.g. HTC Sense or Samsung TouchWiz.
Depending upon your device and carrier, there may be pre-installed apps that are
bundled with your Android device.

13. To summarize the key pros and cons of Android and iOS:
⦁ IOS FACTORS
Massive app ecosystem: distinct advantage for tablet apps while on
smartphones popular apps are usually available for both platforms
 Deeper integration with Facebook and Twitter: it is easier to post updates
and share on social networks using iOS than Android because of how deeply
integrated these platforms are with iOS.
 iOS-only apps like Passbook, FaceTime, and mobile payments app Square
(available on iOS 3GS,4,4S,5 and up, nut only for a limited Android phones)
 Interface is locked down: Limited customization options for the home
screens; only rows of app icons are allowed. No third-party apps are pre-installed
by the wireless carrier. Users can only install apps from the App
Store
 Software upgrades: Apple offers software upgrades to all devices that have
the hardware capable of handling the new software.

14.  ANDROID FACTORS
Massive hardware selection: A large number of Android devices
are available at various price points, with varying hardware
capabilities, screen sizes and features.
Highly customizable user experience: The home screen can be
customized with not just app icons but widgets that allow the user
to stay connected or informed. Other examples include Swift Key,
which modifies your Android smartphone’s keyboard, and apps
that emulate older gaming consoles. Google has fewer restrictions
than Apple on what kinds of apps it allows in its Play store.
Moreover, you can choose to install Android apps from places
other than the Google Play store.

15. Several prominent
people have shifted from iPhone to
Android. Android's connection to
the Google ecosystem of services
is strong and arguably more useful
compared with Apple's cloud
services suite.
