Planning to
buy a smartphone? Then, I can say, you are surely thinking about the platform
which is trending, iOS or Android!
You may have
planned to change your device from Android to iPhone. This is not only you,
many people, because of the changing trend.
According to
CEO of Apple Tim Cook, in the third quarter of 2015 (July to September), 30% of
the Android users shifted to iPhone. Between October and December of the same
year, the user shifted from Android to iPhone was the highest in number.
Normal
smartphone users may think why the Android users are shifting to iPhone. The iPhone
6 and iPhone 6 plus created increased demand for the iPhone as they are similar
to Android in screen size.
Apple released
its first iPhone in 2007. But in the beginning, there was a lack of good voice
quality, proper data service and third party apps. After a long travel, iPhone
is now good in everything, with supreme voice clarity and data quality, as well
as some of the top quality apps developed by the top mobile app development companies in Bangalore.
Let’s know the more reasons for why
the Android users are switching to iPhone:
Apps: Apps developed by mobile apps development company in Bangalore for iPhone attracted a large number of Android users to iPhone. Also
the developers or app owners first consider iOS platform to develop apps.
Before launching an app in Android Google Play, they first launch it in iOS App
Store. After few months of lunching in iOS, Android users will be able to get
that app. The live-streaming Periscope app’s new GoPro feature is available
only on iPhone. Also Facebook new apps called Facebook Paper App and Facebook
Sports Stadium app are also only available on iPhone. To get an early access to new apps, people prefer iPhone.
Security: When comes to the security, Android is
less secure compared to iOS. Hackers are likely to get access to personal
details on Android devices. Android bugs are helping the hackers to take the
complete control over the Android devices. But Apple never compromises with
security and apps which is installed also might have bugs when some mobile app development company Hyderabad or other location companies done some error.
Google announced
that they are having a plan to bring monthly security updates for Nexus devices,
but still there is no confirmation for monthly security updates. When Apple
releases the security updates, it is available for every iPhone at the same
time.
Privacy: The Apple created a website for the
user to explain in detail about protecting the private information. Apple
always respects the users’ privacy. But Google has kept it at as a last
preference.
Periodic software updates: The latest OS of Android is Marshmallow,
which was released in last September 2015, but it has been available for only
few Android phones, whereas over 50% of Apple users have updated to latest iOS9 release within few days of the release.
iCloud: This is one of the most important features
in Apple for that a large number of Android users are migrating to iPhone. This
feature helps the large amount of data storage in a secured manner but the
Android is lacking it.
Handoff and Continuity: These are the two distinct features
available in iOS and OS X devices. The user can work in one device and continue
it in another device. For example, while making a call from iPhone, you can resume
it and continue in the Mac device.
Look and feel: Different devices powered by Android OS are
different in look and feel, but iPhone has excellent control on the uniform look
and feel as well as features
The above
things clearly say how Apple is attracting the users to switch to iPhone from
Android.
