Android vs IOS

Many consider Apple’s iPhone, released in 2007, to be the first real smartphone, making it easy for the average person to have the power of a computer in their pocket. As the slogan suggests, “There’s an app for that,” meaning you could do almost anything with these elegant and easy-to-use devices. People flocked to the iPhone, developers wrote apps for iOS, and the competition took note.

Then Google released Android in 2008, and as hardware became available and units started selling, developers started releasing apps for it. Android could be licensed by any manufacturer, so many adopted it, and the variety of Android hardware spanned all price points. The Android Market matured and is on pace to overtake Apple’s App Store within months. And Android hardware outsells Apple’s by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a recent Nielsen report.

• Here are some interesting stats:

Nearly 1.3m mobile applications are there in the application stores of Apple and Android combined. And in an interesting infographic, which you can see, it is evident that the number of Android and iOS apps downloaded will soon – and rather unbelievably – surpass that of McDonald’s burgers sold in nearly five decades.

Below you can see an interesting infographic showing the money android and ios users spend in buying apps. 

As you can see, android users don't spend so much money, unlike ios users. But a new analysis of smartphone application prices has found that content sold on Google Android has an average price two-and-a-half times higher than that of Apple's iPhone. The data was released by Canalys, which reviewed the top 100 paid applications in the Android Market and compared them to the top 100 on the iPhone App Store. On average, the top 100 Android applications cost $374.37, or an average of $3.74 per application, compared to the $1.47 average on Apple's App Store.

But taking into account that Android users don't spend money in buying apps, we can conclude that in Play Store you can find whatever is needed for a smartphone and there is no need to spend money..! So, the conclusions are yours...
