Android vs iPhone: Why iPhone is Better?

This is the most sensational debate between school or college friends whenever either of the two leading mobile brands in the world release their products. Apple is known for its sleek design and focus on aesthetics. The company is also quietly becoming one of the most secure in terms of technological breaches. Whereas Android's open source operating system allows for mass customization, it also bogs down the process of making necessary updates available and leaves devices open to dangerous malware.

iMessage

Apple makes it easy to carry on conversation across all devices. The iMessage service allows for free voice and text messaging between Apple products in a way that is seamless and efficient. You can link your iMessage account to your Mac, your iPhone, and iPad adding an ease to going between devices that Android simply cannot match. Their closest technology, Google Hangouts, does not allow for similar cross-device conversation. Likewise, while iMessage is in the same app as regular texts, Android users have to manually switch settings to combine the two.

Full Searching

Google may be a fantastic search engine but Android's native search function certainly doesn't make it easy to find things between apps, contacts, and settings. Apple's Spotlight search culls from everything on your phone, including emails and even voice memos.

Less Clutter

There is a word for software pre-installed on devices that cannot be removed and provide little function for its users — bloatware, according to Forbes. Android is notorious for loading up its phones with apps from carriers and manufacturers. Apple, on the other hand, has a marginal amount of bloatware, if any. Sure, you can't delete the Weather or the Stocks app, but they're far more useful than a Sprint app you'll never use. Google is allegedly doing away with the bloatware, according to AndroidCentral, but that has remained to be seen.

AirDrop

iPhone users can easily share contacts, photos and other media over Bluetooth via AirDrop, whereas there is no native technology on Android that offers the same service. AirDrop even provides an extra layer of security by prompting users to set their visibility, making it so that only your contacts can connect and share with you.

Security

In a 2014 PulseSecure mobile threat report, it was revealed that 97 percent of malware targets are Android phones rather than iPhones. Given the fact that Android is open source, which means there is more freedom to change the operating system as a whole, it's difficult to implement widespread fixes to such threats as Stagefright, a notorious virus that can infect phones via a simple message.

Faster Updates

This brings us to our last point: iPhones simply update their software far faster because there is no set way to alter the iOS operating system as with Android's open source designation. That means that any viruses, threats, or issues that need to be debugged are easily fixed in a widespread way.

Best Advertising Network for Mobile App in 2017

Smartphones have captured the world in last few years, and growing popularity can be estimated by the fact that by 2020, there will be 6 billion smartphones in the world. This fact is enough for top mobile app development companies have packed themselves for the battle. But it is a common myth that prevails among developers that once app is created and published, downloads will increase automatically, on the contrary, the truth is that you need to focus on the marketing and advertisements of the app, so as to tell your potential customers about the new app in the market. To cater the demand of advertisement many paid advertisement companies have come up with different market strategies, and price plans.

But for a new developer or even a top mobile app development company in India is difficult to choose the right advertisement network for the promotion of their new project. And if you are one of such developer, then you shouldn’t miss this blog.

AdMob

It is one of the most popular ad network among the users for app monetisation. It is the mobile counterpart of Google’s AdSense, which is advertising front of Google. Being the Google’ product it offers nearly perfect advertisement solutions. And if you are a beginner, then AdMob is the right choice for you.

It offers easy app integration and less aggressive advertisement that are ideal for a new developer. But it is often seen that it provides less revenue as compared to other ad networks.

Millennial Media

Millennial Media provides one of the highest revenues through their full-screen interstitial, video, and image-based formats. They call themselves the mobile first programmatic ad platform. Apart from easy app integration, they also provide real time reporting tools and analytic tools to understand the performance of the ads.

They also feature a sell of ad real estate for the higher bidder in a real time bidding, thus the revenues for quality applications are really high.

InMobi

They target users with a completely new strategy which is called, Appographic. This is the technique where users are shown the type of apps that they are most likely to use. This is a kind of targeted advertisement. And this is done by monitoring the users present and past apps, instead of geography and demography as done in traditional ways.

InMobi has a reach up to 1.5 billion mobile users. Based in San Francisco, it was founded by Naveen Tiwari, Amit Gupta, Abhay Signal and Mohit Saxena.

Features of Android Nougat still favourable for business

Recently the latest Android nougat update has rolled out to be the Google’s most hands-on yet. As per the company’s latest upgrades which brought innumerable improvements as well as enhancements as far as Android’s smartphones are concerned as the company is still looking forward to assert its status as the World’s top mobile company. Now that Google has recently launched the public beta of Android 7.1.2 which has manifested the latest build of its software. Although it is a matter of concern how well the android application development companies would accommodate this technology.

In case you are concerned with the best iteration of Google’s mobile operating system, then the credit goes to Android7.0 Nougat which has made the multitasking quite easier.  According to a reliable source Google has recently released another preview of the next version of Android i.e. Android 0 Developer preview at Google I/O Conference in May. But here we are concentrating what we have received till date from Android Nougat. There are few of the features which can ensure its essentiality over the Android users:

• Improved multitasking
• Extended battery life
• Improved messaging functionality
• Seamless updates

These features are supportive enough to ensure its favourability over Android.

Ensures smoother multitasking

A bunch of multitasking tools would help the users of Android Nougat to do two things together. But what has made multitasking enable? With the addition of the split-screen mode which enables the users to run the two apps simultaneously. It comes handy for tasks for instance using the calculator app or referring the calendar simultaneously composing an email. Although this feature cannot be considered to be new, this feature has although been available on Samsung smartphones as well as tablets for a longer period of time but with the advent off Nougat, it marked its existence across all the Android devices.

Enhanced messaging functionality

It has come with easier response than ever as far as reply to the message is concerned. In order to fire off the text responses, instead it does not look to install the messaging app. It enables the response straight away from the slot of notifications which is considered to be seamless process that would end up saving time as well as beneficial to stay updated as far business conversations are concerned.  

Seamless alerts

With Android Nougat, it would enhance a better control over the alerts hence when a notification pop-up the mobile screen, by a long-press you can lock the app temporarily or notifications can be shown silently. It acts as an incentive to android app developers and also to those who don’t want to get off and on during meeting.

This would also save precious time of Android application development companies as well. Extended battery life

Google has updated Android 7.0 Nougat with the extended battery life with the enhanced version of doze feature that came into the existence last year.

Although low-power state is the most desired state when it has been idle. Even in Nougat, it has introduced with an improvised version of Doze which will put the app on low power state in case the screen is off. It would help the charge to last longer.

Smoother updates

Although updating is considered to be quite tedious as well as time consuming. It is so much tedious that Android users more likely to delay after being notified that a major update is available for the phone. But Nougat has promised that it would update your phone seamlessly its operating system in the background. It looks to just a reboot the phone in order to begin with the fully updated devices without waiting unnecessarily.

These are few of the features that would boost the business with the touch Android Nougat and ensure the long run survival.

Things to Know: Hiring Android App Developer

Since the dawn of the “app” age, these apps have created wide penetration on the smartphones as well as other devices like tablets, smartwatches and even health hardware devices. And in between this chaos and race to get the app, a common business owner struggles to find the right app developer for himself. While selecting the right app developer is very crucial because it is the developer which works on the project and he is the one who is responsible for the success and failure of the app.

Look for Portfolios

Getting to know about the apps that a developer can work upon is very important. This way you can conclude whether the developer can offer you what you are looking for.

And therefore, app developer becomes even more important and their portfolios matter a lot. More than 60% odds are that users will download your app just by looking at it. Hence portfolios play a vital role in deciding whether what you want is possible and feasible by the company or the developer that you are planning to hire.

Client List

By checking the client list, you can judge that whether the developer has worked on a similar project as yours before you or not. This way you can predict whether the developer have some experience in the similar projects and technical skills.

Client Involvement

This is certainly one of the most important aspect of the app development. Involving the client in the development process of the app is essential because this way you be in control of the app development and not the developer, which has mothing to do with your business. And therefore, it is only you who understands your business requirements.

And your presence in the development cycle of the app will benefit you. This way you can also nip any problem in the bud itself, thereby saving money and time. For example, if any feature or UI that you think is not perfect, you can request the developer to change there and then instead of telling it after the complete development process is over.

Development Platforms
