Comparison Between Android & IOS

Android and IOS are the most popular mobile operating system nowadays. Sometimes it's became so confusing to choose one of them. Here a comparison has been made so that it become easy to choose one of them.

Keys	Android	IOS
Type	Mobile OS	Mobile OS
Licence	Apache License 2.0 GNU GPL v2 for the Linux kernel modifications	Proprietary software except for open-source components
Developer	Google Open Handset Alliance	Apple Inc.
Written in	C (core), C++, Java (UI)	C, C++, Objective-C, Swift
OS family	Unix-like	Unix-like, based on Darwin (BSD), OS X
Source model	Open source and in most devices with proprietary components	Closed source
Initial release	September 23, 2008; 7 years ago	June 29, 2007; 8 years ago
Platforms	32- and 64-bit: ARM architectures, x86, x86-64, MIPS and MIPS64	64- and 32-bit ARM architectures: ARMv8-A (iOS 7 and later) ARMv7-A (iPhone OS 3 and later)
Kernel type	Monolithic (modified Linux kernel)	Hybrid (XNU)
Default user interface	Graphical (Multi-touch)	Cocoa Touch (multi-touch, GUI)

The above comparisons are only the technical comparisons. According to the User Experience it is seen that android is a bit slower then IOS . The reason behind this is, Android uses java and java is excellent but a bit slow. On the other hand IOS use a language named swift which has been designed for speed. Android gives you the opportunity to tweaking your OS in every ways whereas you cannot even use IOS without Apple's permission. If you need a independent mobile os with unlimited features and you will consider the speed a little bit then Android is here but if you think that you need a OS that will give you ultimate speed and you will consider some feature limitation then IOS is here. This is my opinion. May be your opinion is different then mine and Always the Choice is Yours.
