📱Personal Preference: Apple or Android?

I have always been an android kid all my life due to its affordability and accessibility such that regardless of the electronic brand, there is a sort of seamless connectivity between android to android phones whereas apple brands are far more enclosed and isolated only within their products. Though having admitted that I have only ever experienced life through the lens of an android user, I still cannot deny the timeless aesthetic Apple carries in the market. From its clean user interface and sleek designs, it boasts a better user experience simply from its physical appearance.

Looking at it in a more in-depth light and delivering an objective comparison, the following are some of the significant distinctions between the two operating systems dominating the market:

> Customizability – Android provides more freedom and far more options/possibilities for customization and thus enabling a user to totally personalize their devices. On the other hand, Apple devices have user interfaces that are more simple, presiding within a theme, and are far more consistent among users.

> Hardware (Ecosystem) – many electronic companies and brands utilize the Android operating system, thus allowing users a wider collection of smartphones/devices to choose from, all with differing features, price points, and sizes to choose from. Though Apple only manufactures iPhones/iPads, which compress one’s options but likewise provide a more seamless and consistent hardware experience.

> More Apps/ App store – Apple has always been known for its tedious app approval process such that each authorized app now present in the apple store has been through a careful selection method to ensure a more stable and secure experience for its users. Android, though has a broader app ecosystem (due to its open-source operating system, which to some may be beneficial), could also be the root for unreliable or unsecured apps hosting viruses, etc.

The choice of which hails supreme is more attributed to personal preference, and for me, I would still choose android.
