1.FIND MY IPHONE
It's not like you can't roll your own
device-tracking setup on Android, but
now that Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod
touch) is free it's no longer the best paid
option—it's just the best. It's simple to
use, it's easy to track your phone, and it
has even helped people catch criminals
when the loss was a result of theft (like
this or this , for example). It's been proven
effective and costs you nothing. There's
not much more you need
2. BATTERY LIFE
Over the past few years, Apple's started
to consider battery life to be one of the
most important features of its products.
This is especially evident in the iPad,
which contains around as much battery as
humans contain water, but it's also
Apple's battery management tactics that
make this possible. Some may be
disappointed that the lack of true
multitasking is lost in the name of power
economy, but true multitasking isn't all
that great when you device dies because
it ran out of juice. While it didn't start off
that way, the latest batch of devices
running iOS will get you through the day
(and sometimes longer). That's not always
something you can count on with
Android.
3.NO CRAPWARE
Sure, you can pick up the Nexus S and get
a phone with no added applications and
have an Android phone without any
crapware added by the manufacturer, but
most people aren't getting their Android
phones from Google. When you buy your
Android phone from a particular carrier,
you can often to expect a few apps you
won't want and can't get rid of. With iOS
you just get iOS. While Apple might be a
little overprotective at times , their walled
garden is not without its upsides. It's nice
buying an iDevice with the knowledge
you won't get stuck with a Sprint NASCAR
app you don't want.
5.WELL DESIGNED USER INTERFACE
Whether you like Apple's hardware and
software or not, it's hard to argue that
they aren't beautifully designed. Apple
puts a lot of thought in the design of the
interface, from its looks to its ease of use.
iOS' user experience is one of the most
intuitive. Android can take some time to
figure out, and there's a lack of
consistency in the way third-party apps
operate, but if you give someone an iOS
device they'll generally be able to figure
out much of the functionality on their
own. People are posting videos of their
very young children using iPads. Android
ends up with sites like this (which isn't
representative of the platform and a bit
much, but still makes a point). iOS is nice
to look at and easy to learn, welcoming
pretty much everyone to the party.
6.ONE DEVICE CONTROLLED HARDWARE
Apple controls the hardware of their iPhone.
Whether it be the original iPhone, the 2, 3, or 4,
they know exactly what processor, memory,
screen and apps will work with iOS versions . This
cannot be said of Android devices.
I have received much criticism stating that the
processor in the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S is indeed
made by Samsung. And that is absolutely correct.
But what others have not read is that I stated that
Apple controls all aspects of the phone. They know
that the Samsung chip will work with their version
of the OS as well as the memory, etc. And for
some who think they're smart, because they like
Android devices, read the next paragraph below.
Android is an OS (Operating System) which is
installed on several different devices manufactured
by different companies. Samsung, HTC, Motorola,
etc. all sell phones with Android. Here, you see
fragmentation across the board. Not always will a
specific version of the Android OS work with a
device. The phone can have different sizes of RAM,
different processors and different speeds of a
processor which leads to older phones unable to
keep up with updates in the Android OS.
If Apple is no longer going to support an older
phone, it will not make an OS available on a device
knowing that it could bog it down.
