Which one is the best? Android Phone or Apple phone?

Android and Apple phones are two smartphone products that are often used by many
countries, including Indonesia. The Apple phone or iPhone is Apple’s range of smartphones and
launched in 2007. Since then, the iPhone has become one of the most recognizable and popular
gadgets on the planet. They run on Apple’s iOS software and arrive in new versions every single
year. Android is the name for Google’s smartphone software, officially released in 2008. Any
company can make a phone and load Google’s Android onto it because it’s free to use and
customize. That’s why we see lots of companies making Android phones, including Samsung,
Vivo, Xiaomi, Oppo, Motorola, LG, and Google, of course. If we want to compare these
smartphones, then you will see how an iPhone can compete with dozens of Android phones with
different companies. Next, we will compare both in several categories, i.e. performance, security,
design, and price.

Performance
It is not uncommon to see someone claiming that iPhones have “bad hardware”. And at
face value, that does seem true: lower-resolution screens than Android phones, less big amounts
of RAM than competing Android models… So what’s the deal with that? One word:
optimization. iOS doesn’t need a large amount of RAM because it can keep over a dozen apps
loaded and ready with only 2 GB, and while the resolution of some models (looking at you, Xr)
may seem low, the pixel density remains more than adequate, all the while the lower resolution
means less work for the GPU and thus, lower battery drain. Furthermore, Apple’s CPUs have
also seemed fairly weak over the years. the A12 Bionic chip is the first one to have eight cores,
the preceding A11 and A10 chips having six and four cores respectively. Meanwhile, even mid-
range Android phones have had octa-core CPUs for years now. However, the same still stands:
due to superb operating system optimization, Apple’s CPUs have been consistently
outperforming the competition for a long time. Even older-generation iPhones tend to beat newer
Android flagships in benchmarks. All in all, while Android phones almost always have superior
hardware, iPhones offer better performance in the vast majority of cases.

Security
If you talk about the security of smartphones, iPhone is the best one. Why? Because in
one study, 97% of all malware, viruses, worms, etc., were for Android. In that study, 0%
attacked the iPhone. The fact that you can download apps from anywhere, and that Android
phones are so varied, puts them at greater risk of malware. So you're more likely to get viruses
using an Android phone. It’s not so much that Android has security problems, but Google is
laxer than Apple about what applications it will let into its app store. True, the best way to keep
malware off your Android gadget is to only get apps from the Google Play store; even so,
Google reports that 0.16% of all apps contain malware.

Design
Apple always wants to have full control over the development of its products, intending
to offer consistent experiences for all its users. It can be easily seen in the design, UX and
performance of its products. On the other hand, Google created a platform that targets all
available mobile devices on the market. That’s why the products of these two companies have
several essential differences, for example on home button. Although Android devices have 3
buttons – back, home, and overview – which enable users to do most things on the phone,
iPhones have (or used to have) only one button – the home button. It’s easier than an Android
phone. That’s why when designing for iOS systems, UI designers must ensure proper navigation
within the application, keeping in mind the need to provide a way to return to the previous
screen.

The home button in iPhones is the only button allowing for global navigation and coming back to
the main screen.
Android system has many more buttons than iPhone that help to navigate throughout the system.

Price
If you’re concerned most about what your phone costs, you’ll probably choose Android.
That’s because there are many Android phones that can be had for cheap. You can get Android
phones for much lower prices than Apple iPhones. A flagship iPhone costs over
Rp14.000.000,00 and even the least expensive iPhone that’s still a safe buy in a given year
usually costs over Rp2.500.000,00. Meanwhile, brand new Android phones can be found for
under Rp1.400.000,00. But the cheapest Android phones usually offer terrible performance,
although an Rp4.000.000,00 midrange Android phone might have all the features and
performance that you’d need out of a smartphone. The highest-priced phones on both platforms
can easily cost close to or sometimes over Rp14.000.000,00, but the average cost of an Android
device is lower than an iPhone.
