When IOS was
introduced in 2007 by Apple, it was very low level in terms of its features as
compared to the current version. However, it only supports the Apple devices such
as Iphones, Ipods etc. Apple enjoyed much success with its devices as they had
revolutionized the mobile phone industry. Despite slower processors of apple
devices, IOS feels faster to most users because Apple prioritizes the user
interface over everything else. However, several surveys suggest android sometimes
does not run fluidly but it has a lot to do with you device, version of android
and what you run on it.
From a security point of view, both IOS and android have traditional
access control such as password and idle screen locking to protect the device.
To limit processes having access to sensitive data and system resources a permission
based access control is used by Android i.e. a set of permissions are requested
while installing each application. Moreover, both systems have some built in
functions to resist web based attacks.
Like many other products, there is a lot to consider while deciding
the best mobile operating system. Apple is user friendly but it limits the consumers
in device customization. On the other hand, android is not as user friendly but
it is more appealing to those who want more freedom with their hand-held
devices. In the end, like everything else in the computer industry, the choice
of which OS better suits an individual depends upon the kind of usage and user
requirements.
