The Android operating system and iOS are two of the most popular tablet operating systems in the world today. But which one is better for your tablet?
Android is a free and open source operating system (OS) that has been developed by Google since 2008. It runs on a wide variety of devices including smartphones, tablets, watches and TVs. Android has also been ported to run on PC’s through an emulator called Boxer.
Apple’s iPhone or iPad are both designed for mobile use but can be used as tablets with a case or stand. They both run Apple’s iOS mobile operating system which was first launched in 2007 as a competitor to Google’s Android OS.
Both operating systems have their pros and cons but overall I prefer Android over iOS because of its openness and customization potentials.
The tablet market has been heating up since the release of the first iPad in 2010. In fact, we’ve seen so many tablets come out in recent years that it can be difficult to keep track.
So which OS is better for your tablet? That’s the question we’ll answer today.
Android vs iOS
Apple’s iOS is the most popular mobile operating system on tablets worldwide. On average, Android tablets account for only a third of all units sold. But Android has more than doubled its share over the last year, and by some estimates will soon overtake iOS as the world’s most popular tablet OS.
The reason for this shift is simple: Google wants everyone using its mobile operating system, which includes phones and tablets like Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 and Nexus 9 LTE 4G (2014). This makes sense because it allows Android to work across hardware platforms like watches and cars, making it easier to develop apps for multiple devices.
If you’re looking for a tablet, you’ve probably thought about which operating system is better for your device. This can be a tough decision because there are so many options out there.
The following article will explore the pros and cons of each OS and help you decide which one makes the most sense for your needs.
Android: Pros & Cons
Pros:
It’s free to use and install on your device.
It allows you to download apps through the Google Play Store, where there are over 1 million apps to choose from.
You can customize your device’s wallpaper with different images or photos using an app called iWallpaper HD, which is available for both Android and iOS devices.
Cons:
The default browser is Chrome, which isn’t very popular among users who prefer other browsers like Firefox or Safari.
The Android operating system is the most popular mobile platform in the world, and it’s also the most accessible. You can download it from Google Play, and you don’t need to be a tech expert to get started. In fact, it’s so easy that even your kids can use it.
The iOS operating system is very similar to the Android operating system. It uses an app store, so you can download apps from Apple’s App Store or another third-party store like Google Play or Amazon Appstore. The iOS operating system is controlled by a computer program called the iPhone which connects to the internet and allows you to access various apps on your phone like Facebook and Twitter.
Android tablets are great for watching videos, playing games (and not just Angry Birds), reading ebooks, sharing photos with friends and family members via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, accessing email accounts, downloading music from streaming services such as Spotify or Pandora, searching for information on Google Search, browsing stores like Amazon or eBay for electronics items or other merchandise, checking up on sports scores
