The great comparison The doubt among the doubts. Android vs. iOS. You will have heard a thousand opinions, you will have your own, that if some have done this, that if the others launched that much earlier… The truth is that for many there is no debate but for others it will never end.
And you? Have you positioned yourself? You know what do the two star mobile operating systems offer of the moment? Definitely, they started differently and have forts that differ greatly from each other. However, both seem to prove very valuable, each for their own reasons.
In this post you will find the most complete comparison between the current standard OS of both companies as well as their entire journey, version after version and, finally, a series of tips to choose between one or the other as well as, by the way, we will talk about other mobile OS on the market.
Android What is it and what are its unique features that no other Mobile OS has?
We have been waiting since March 13, 2019, and finally the time is up and we can talk about the launch of Android 10 as a new operating system for mobile devices (because the truth is that it has been slow to deploy and become the standard).
Initially, the beta versions of the system had been presented as Android Q, but finally, contrary to usual, it was assigned the name of the corresponding version, remaining as Android 10; this operating system for the first time in a decade it will not have a name related to a dessert.
The download image of the new device is not yet active on the official website but anyway, Android always proceeds in the same way and makes the deployment of your new systems operational, be it progressively, taking from weeks to months to achieve full implementation. The first devices that received the new Android 10 update are Google’s Pixel phones, which have already begun to show us the new OS.
Appearance of the dark theme
The hue chosen by Google is very dark as they have indicated themselves. The new screen theme is called Dark on Android and is used mostly to give our battery a longer life expectancy as well as to try to help our eye health. Also The appearance of several applications has been changed such as Photos or Calendar.
smart answers
reply to messages received will no longer depend solely on the text that the person wants to write, but on some suggested answers. This functionality has support for various applications of different Android devices.
Faster security updates
Google has ensured that any application that is released new or updated will do so periodically and more easily. Of course, we must do it from Google Play. Our device will receive an update notice for both privacy and security and will easily guide us to stay up to date.
Inclusion of improvements to optimize folding screens
Google is the only company that has Optimized resources to be used on devices that have a flexible screen; you will be able to enjoy them soon.
Gesture navigation improvements
Have been added new fields to make the operating system much faster and easier to use. You can easily go back and forth, open more of the home screen, and switch apps that have already been opened by swiping to the top of the device.
Subtitles in real time
Live Caption is the application in charge of subtitle both podcasts and videos as well as audio messages and recordings that we ourselves take on our terminals. You can do it with a single touch and without having to be connected to a mobile network or WiFi.
Interesting changes to the Digital Wellbeing app
The most notable changes are timers that are activated for use on websites and Focus Modewhich is used to temporarily block access to those applications that consume the most time.
Sound amplifier
The Sound Amplifier app makes the phone can increase its own volume, adjust the audio of the phone and filter the sound that is heard in the background. All this is done so that both conversations and content that we reproduce can be heard clearly and loudly, even if we are in a noisy area.
Family Link
Appear Family Linkto better manage our applicationsso that we can apply content restrictions or time limits of screen use.
Family Link will also allow see the apps they’ve been checking out from our children’s profiles and through other devices, check where they are at all times.
“Transparent” management of privacy and data use
A very interesting step is the one that affects privacy, since everything will be much better controlled. Android 10 includes new controls that let you know how data is shared from your device or more easily find the most optimal configuration. It is allowed to determine what data is stored from the apps or web pages, in addition to sharing a location with all our applications.
Finally, it is interesting to indicate that we can prevent advertising companies from using our personal data to place personalized ads during the duration of the navigation. You have to manage all of this because by default everything will be sold well for companies, but we can make our privacy settings clearer and easier.
iOS What is it and what are its outstanding features that no other Mobile OS has?
As you all know, during the past year 2019 the new model of the Apple company came to the market: iPhone 11 and its version iPhone 11 Pro. This device brought with it (and as happens every year) a new version of its operating system, but with the novelty of having created two different versions: iOS 13 for the mobile device and iPadOS 13 for the tablet.
This time, Apple has created a new version for its mobile devices that has nothing to envy to the previous ones and that includes a series of very interesting features.
Next, we will present the most outstanding ones:
dark mode
Without a doubt, this is one of the innovations that users expected the most. Not at all like other previously observed dark modes on mobile devices. In fact, involves a change in the interface of the system itself and of the applications.
This is because all environments are modified by adjusting the intensity of the screen depending on the clarity of where the iPhone is located. This represents a great advance in the battery saving of the device, especially those with an OLED screen, which we already know consume more. In addition, of course, we must not forget how negative an excess of direct light is for our eyesight in darkened environments.
As a novelty, and exclusively (to date, of course), you can also control the intensity of the light in the portraits taken with the device, using lighting mode.
photo editing
The new operating system of the Apple company brings new features to its Photos application. Now you can modify, in addition to the brightness, contrast, give new effects, video editing, exposure and even the ability to rotate videossomething that at the time would be sacrilege but is back in fashion (more than vertical video, doing it in any way).
Also included is a new organization system in photographswhere you can search for them by days, months and even years.
New changes to Siri
The voice of has changed. Now it is much more natural, because is generated through a more neutral technology. It is no longer such a robotized voice. It is not that the other attendees of the world are the repanocha, but it is something to comment because, in this aspect, those from the block have taken the lead.
App Shortcuts
In addition, the new Shortcuts appwhich before you could download from , but as another app on your device.
Performance level improvements
The terminal can now be unlock via FaceIDwhich increases the speed by 30%. In addition, the Applications are repackaged in a different way, so they are up to 60% smaller. This implies two great improvements: on the one hand, they open much faster and, on the other, a lot is gained in terms of space used within the device.
Battery charging improvements
In addition, an option is included to increase the useful life of our battery. our iphone learn how we use of it, and try not to charge more than 80% of the battery unless necessary.
write by swiping
This is a new kind of writing QuickPath. It differs from the way Apple users were used to, because you can slide between the letters of the words, without having to lift your finger Of the same. This generates greater comfort and even speed when writing on the device.
It is true that many years ago we saw something very similar on certain keyboards but it was quickly forgotten, until now, it seems.
Improve the Maps app
In this version of the mobile operating system, you can bookmark places in the world. can also be create and share collections of places with our friends. function is added look aroundsimilar to what we know as Google’s Street View, so that we can really know the spaces through which we are going to move before being in them.
CarPlay has also improved
Apple’s interactive car control system brings to iOS 13 a new image of your control panel. In it, it shows the button on one side and the group of buttons on the other side, so that it allows you to control music and messages without having to switch between various applications when you are inside the vehicle; without a doubt, a clear sign of improvement in security when managing the application.
Arkit 3
It is a new version for Apple’s augmented reality library. On this occasion, the developers have allowed objects to be placed behind each person. It can also be used, in a complementary way, Motion Capturewhich is a technology capable of record the movements of a person using only a lens.
apple arcade
The new version of iOS includes a new subscription service that allows users to enjoy hundreds of new games which can be used on various Apple devices. It is called apple arcade and it is being a complete success. All this for a tiny amount of money per month and combining services that we already knew but that, with the release of Apple TV +, have disappeared.
Other notable improvements
In addition to the great improvements indicated above, iOS 13 includes other tremendously interesting features for its users:
- new login. It can be used both in…
