One man’s vision of a “computer for the rest of us” has brought technology to where it is today.
Cell phones have become a normal part of day to day life. While they may simply be screens, smartphones and computers are capable of revealing different parts of a person’s personality, habits and behaviors.
Although there are various devices and softwares available, Apple’s iOS is usually favored by most people.
According to statista.com, the iPhone has been the most popular amongst the other products sold by Apple.
“The iPhone’s share of Apple’s total revenue reached the highest figure to date in the first quarter of 2018, when 69.74% of Apple’s total revenue worldwide was generated by iPhone sales.”
Apple Inc. is one of the biggest names in the tech industry alongside Android.
However, iOS is usually more reliable to customers in terms of security and privacy.
According to tomsguide.com, Apple goes the extra mile to provide its users safety, “The latest example is Face ID, which securely logs you into the iPhone using a 3D scan of your face via a TrueDepth sensor.”
With better quality apps and long-lasting battery life, iOS wins the battle again.
Offering pleasant and appealing icons, they are often aesthetically designed and easily catches one’s eye.
The improved cameras in the iPhone 11 has 12 megapixels compared to the 8 megapixels in the previous version. With newer features such as its wide, ultrawide and telephoto lens, the three cameras have gotten a lot of attention from the media.
When there’s a problem with an Android device, users can try to find a solution online or by calling their carrier.
With the iOS system, help can be found by looking through the frequently asked questions (FAQ), booking an appointment at the Genius Bar or with the live chat support.
Android does not offer face to face services for their system, instead the customer has to go to the carrier or the phone maker to get assistance on any issue.
Therefore, they do not have that direct relationship with its customers.
While the iPhone is of high quality, users aren’t deprived of the newest and fastest technology because they are made for the average person.
