iOS vs Android

 One of the most interesting debates and competitions in today’s world of IT is between Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS. Android and iOS are operating systems used primarily in mobile technology, such as smartphones and tablets


. Android, which is Linux-based and partly open source, is more PC-like than iOS, in that its interface and basic features are generally more customizable from top to bottom. However, iOS' uniform design elements are sometimes seen as being more user-friendly. Only devices created by Apple support the iOS operating system, however several devices including Motorola, Samsung, Huawei, HTC, LG, Nexus etc. 
The programming languages incorporated in Android are C, C++ and Java whereas iOS was created using C, C++ and Objective C. The two major points of conflict in this debate are: A) the user-friendliness and B) the security of both the OS’s. The user-friendliness rating of both OS’s is matter of opinion as both provided same amount of facilities and apps however the matter of security is a bit more one-sided. In one out of every five Android apps there is a risk that they have holes on, whereas while any system can be broken at this time the iphone’s tightly controlled apps seem to be the safest bet for anyone who wants a secure phone.
