For many, iPhone is synonymous with
smartphone. Recently, the Android has begun to enjoy a surge of
popularity, and developers are constantly working on Android-friendly
apps. If you don’t already own a smartphone and are having a hard time
choosing which to buy, here are a few tipsthat should help you decide.
You should buy an iPhone if…
You like apps. Apple has
roughAll iPhones are built to
be essentially the same size and shape, making them ce there are still plenty of useful apps for Droid users,
true app addicts will appreciate the diversity and quality of Apple’s
apps. iPhone users converting to Android may become especially
frustrated if they can’t use the same apps they know and love from their
iPhone.
You want a consistent design. All iPhones are built to be essentially the same size and shape, making them consistent from one model to the next; Android phones can vary tremendously. Also, new iPhones routinely come out once a year, so it’s easier to plan their release and know your new phone won’t be outdated within a few weeks.

are loyal to Apple. Mac users have always been vocal about their
preference, and that love of Apple products certainly transfers to
loyalty to iPhones. There’s good reason for some to be so loyal: Apple
is well-known for quality engineering, innovative technology, and
excellent customer service. For many, that’s enough reason to support
the company.
You should buy an Android if…
You want to have more
control over your hardware. iPhones can only be repaired by Apple
personnel, and any other activity can void the warranty. If you have an
Android phone, you have much more flexibility regarding replacing
batteries, installing apps, and using tech support from your service
provider instead of from a third-party company.
You want to be
able to use any phone carrier. iPhone is only available through AT&T
and Verizon, whereas the Android can be used with nearly any cell phone
provider. Additionally, Android is part of the 4G network, offering
greater speed than is available on iPhone.
You want more
variety. While iPhones are consistent, Droid phones come in a variety of
models, each with unique sizes and options. You have more customization
options for the hardware on your phone, and the OS is more flexible.
