Apple Vs. Android - the Device Dilemma

Welcome to my blog! During the next eight to ten posts or so, I will be discussing the biggest technological, whether you would like to call it a debate, dilemma or question, Apple or Android? If you have taken any interest into this topic before, there is a great chance it is because you were, or are currently in pursuit of a cell phone. This is the biggest discussed topic within the cell phone subject.


As I continue to write this blog I will be explaining both sides of each company, and will be expressing my personal opinion on the matter at hand. This is a very interesting topic for me, as well because like many teenagers my age, I was looking for a cell phone, but didn't know what phone do I purchase. I feel that this is a subject that will interest most of the readers of my page, because it is a question asked by a lot of people, within themselves as well as to others. Many people do research on which is better, Apple or Android, therefor my goal is to make this a one-stop-shop for everybody, because I will be doing research and explaining the information on multiple FAQ's such as the following:

  • Which one has the better battery life?
  • Which one is easier to use?
  • What phone do I get if I am just using my phone for contacting my friends?
  • What phone do I get if I want to do a lot of internet searches on it?
  • What company is the most popular?
  • Which phone is less expensive?
  • Do the prices for these phones outweigh the advantages of owning one?
  • ETC...
These are some very good questions that I, personally have heard among my classmates, adults, teachers and everyone in between. I did not need any research to be able to pull these exemplary questions for my introduction post. 

Now, I understand  that everybody is incredibly different, and each person has their own preferences and needs in a phone, and the level of importance each aspect withholds per person. I will be speaking from my perspective as a teenager, because it seems to me that teenagers are the most indecisive when it comes to purchasing a cell phone (even more so when it is their money). Also, being a teenager, it will be more easy both for me to explain as for you to understand and to follow along, because I am presently thinking as a teenager and understand how they think. Makes sense? I believe so. 
This is a chart that shows the age groups of people who own cell phones

Now, I will tell the readers that all that they are looking for is the most popular cell phone company between Apple and Android, and they are basing their purchase off of that statistic and that statistic only, then continuing to follow my blog will turn out to be a waste of time for them; therefor, I will tell my readers now that Apple, and their only products (which I will be discussing later), the iPhone, is the most popular phone being used by teenagers. After a quick search, I received the statistic that 67 percent of teenagers own iPhones.

However, for those who are interested in more than that, I will do my best to aid these people in my following posts. Therefor, if you have any questions that you wish that I answer, please feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

Thank you, and I hope you find my blog both entertaining and informative.

Siri Vs.Google Now (to be explained)




****This post was written with only my knowledge on the subject, considering the fact that it is simply an introduction post. I will be doing research and will be giving credit to where it is needed. I did use one website for one statistic, and that is distinguished by a hyperlink to the exact website and place that I had gotten the information****

  1. Anthony, although there is the question of ease of use of each device, I would like to state that there is also the aspect of day to day taking. By day to day tasking I don not necessarily mean what it implies, rather the level of knowledge and expectations of using each phone. Seeing as how Android is more of an advanced phone featuring more Developer geared features and more customization (which some people would rather have), over a simpler interface of the iPhone line which features a simpler OS in general (which make functionality easier for some). I loved reading your blog and hope to comment again.

    1. Hi David, thank you for your feedback. It is very appreciated. I am going to talk about day to day tasking in one of my near future posts. It is a very important aspect to consider, and I believe it should be discovered and explained. I will do research and definitely post about this interesting and important subject.

  2. Anthony! Your new blog idea is a wonderful one! This is surely a common debate. What is your opinion on this, Apple or Android? Unless, of course, you prefer one and the other for certain functions and qualities that they have. I really like your background and I look forward to reading your second post!

    1. Hi Camelia, thank you for your positive feedback. As I will mention many times in the future, Apple and Android are very even, and at the same time, very different. For example, Android is much better for productivity. Also, their large screens and longer battery life allows them to be very useful to watch videos, surf the net, and execute tasks easier. However, Apple's social advantages rank superior over Androids. For example, Apple allows the users to use WiFi to FaceTime AND to Text people with other Apple products. This amazing feature is huge for international connectivity, and connectivity with people who don't have a cell phone. I hope this can help you explain how I can't really choose (just yet) about which one is better. I hope you will be able to answer that question yourself after I complete the blog.

  4. Hey Anthony. This is a very interesting topic and it has a lot of people debating. Its something that i couldn't figure out for some time now and it really bothers me because me and my friends debate about it too. I like how you mentioned that 67% of teenagers own iphones because i really thought that most teens owned android devices. I look forward to reading your next post.
