IPhone vs. Android

By: Olivia Foster

​Who is better, iPhone or Android? Android and iPhone are very popular phones in today’s world. Both phones have similarities in the apps they produce. The phones are also very different in how the internal and external software is made. Apple has released 29 iPhones over the last 14 years. Android has released 300+ phones for 13 years.
 
The average price of an iPhone was about $700 in 2017 and went up to $1000 in 2020. In 2017 Android’s average price was $243 and went up to $292 in 2020. From 2017-2020 iPhone went up $300 and then Android went up to $49 in 3 years. If you compare the two prices Android is more convenient and affordable.
 
QUESTION: “Which do you prefer iPhone or Android, and why?”  
PERSON 1: (supports iPhone) “iPhone because of how simple it is to use. It’s very cooperative with almost all apps. I’ve always had problems with Snapchat photos or photos looking like garbage on android. Obviously though in terms of tech android has more to offer. Once they fix their little problems with apps androids might finally take first place.”
PERSON 2: (support android) “Androids because they are more durable and don’t have to worry about them breaking when I work.” Out of these two people you can see their different points of view.
 
Between the two phones, Android is more durable than iPhone. “I dropped my iPhone an inch off from the ground and it shattered my phone. Later that day my friend who had an Android dropped her phone and it got ran over and was perfectly fine” Rebecca said. From this person you can see that is one sign that Android is more durable. In real-world drop tests, both are shown to be very durable. In water resistance, Apple has a better performance.
