14 DAY TRIAL // The competition between Apple's and Google's mobile operating systems continues, and it’s difficult to determine which OS is more popular or which has the better functionality. While iOS definitely comes with some essential advantages, Android is more flexible and allows a plethora of tweaks.
Android enjoys increased popularity among multiple smartphone manufacturers while iOS is only found on Apple products. However, Apple does have a large and strong customer base, just enough to split smartphone users into two main categories: those who use iPhones and those who have Android phones.
Many users migrate from Android to iOS and vice-versa, a process that can be quite confusing to some, considering that the two operating systems do have some main differences, at least when it comes to the UI. Apple welcomes new users with a tutorial filled with tips when booting an iPhone and even after a while of continuous use.
