ios and android(ios与安卓的区别).pdf

It’s an argument that’s been going on for years: iOS or Android? Naturally, getting an accurate

answer to that contentious question depends entirely on who you ask and with which operating

system they’ve had the most experience. Devotees have bickered for years, and the worst part of

it is that it’s led to the misguided assumption that the difference between owning an Apple

handset and a Google handset is like night and day.

In reality, it’s not. For all the prospective smartphone newbies out there, here’s a quick rundown

of the not-so-major schisms between the two mobile behemoths.

Understanding the Specifics of Android

The single greatest advantage to owning an Android mobile device is its customization. The

makes for a greater number of applications that are available for Android devices.

Just a few examples of Android’s customization possibilities include the ability to install time or

weather widgets to a device’s lock screen, to set or change which specific programs launch

certain types of files, to change default fonts, and to install non-factory dialer and SMS apps. The

pull-down notification system that comes standard with the Android OS also enables users to

turn on and off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and audio with a single tap instead of having to access

system preferences. By design, the Android operating system has a file management system

similar to PCs and Macs that delivers a more “hands on” experience that may be more conducive

to using a smartphone like a computer rather than a mobile device.

While owning a smartphone with a highly customizable interface may make Android the obvious

always work at peak performance and could compromise security.

Because Android is used by a variety of manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Sony, it’s become

the most widely used OS in the world, powering more than a billion mobile devices. But this

doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best. It also doesn’t make it the worst. It just means it’s the

most often used.
