If we see Mobile app development statistics then there is not a huge difference between these two platforms. Mobile app developers equally prefer both the platforms. According to an Economics survey in Q3 2013 " 86% Mobile App developers are working on either iOS app development or Android app development".

I admit that iOS is still one of the most popular Mobile OS in the market, and it has tremendous fan following as well, but Android constantly offers extraordinary features to its users to grab the whole attraction of the marketplace.

Why Android is getting more popular as compared to iOS?


Lets have a look at the features which make Android the most preferable OS amongst

available Smartphones


Compatibility

iOS is compatible only with the apple devices that is iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and iPad Mini, whereas

---------------------------

Android is a quite flexible Operating system. It is available to all those mobile manufacturers who desire to use it as their core software, that is Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola and many more. I guess, it is the major difference between these, that makes Android most accessible OS in the market.


User Interface

The iOS devices interface is quite general and almost same sincethe years. We haven't seen any particular alteration in the interfaceof iOS, version has been changed but the UI is still identical. Andthere is no widgets except in notification drawer. -------------------------------------------

Android gives an interactive UI with lots of features. It has morethan one home screen that may be decorated with widgets andapps. User can easily set up his home screens as per his needs. Atthe peak it has a notification bar to show every differentnotifications. Customizing options are simply amazing in Androidas you can modify most of things according to you, but in iOS, itsdifferent because there is a limit to make modifications.


Economic -

As we all know the price range of iOS handsets or device is

higher, so its not a perfect choice for everyone and due to

this it has a limited scope of customers. iOS devices costs

Approx minimum Rs.17800, with no latest features.

----------------------------------------

Android handsets are coming with a really broad scope bothmonetary and function wise. An Android handset costsminimum at 6000, with general specifications, I admit thatit's not the latest too. But, it is a huge price differencebetween these handsets.


Marketplaces

Apple has his own app store for iOS applications and

Android's play store is managed by Google named Google

play store. Millions of apps are available in both stores. But,

Apple have a strict policy in the approval of apps which is

not an issue in Google app store


So, now with all these points in mind which smart phone device would you prefer?
