When choosing a smartphone today, you have to decide between two great options, Android and iOS. The first is Google’s operating system, which, as many of our readers know, remains the most widely used worldwide. The other is the mobile operating system that Apple pre-installs on its iPhone, and is the only real alternative left on the market after the end of Windows Phone and the departure of BlackBerry.

Both Android and iOS They have their advantages and disadvantages. There is no doubt about it, but we must keep in mind that choosing one or the other will limit to a greater or lesser extent the smartphone models that we can buy. If we want to use iOS, we will have no choice but to choose the iPhone, and if we prefer Android, we will be able to choose between numerous models of large companies such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Honor, Realme, Vivo and others. .

In my case, I started my adventure in the smartphone sector with Samsung Galaxy SCL, a low-cost version of the Samsung Galaxy S that ran Android and, frankly, gave me a lot of joy despite its limitations. It wasn’t even complicated because it came from a dumb phone and it was a whole new world for me. of said terminal I upgraded to an iPhone 4s, and I was very happy until iOS 8 came along and completely destroyed the performance of said terminal.

Apple disappointed me so much that I decided to upgrade to the Galaxy S6but when I saw how late new versions of Android were coming and confirmed that I would only receive two new updates, I was clear and gave Apple another chance. I got an iPhone 8 Plus in 2017, which is the terminal I still use today and I have to say that it was clearly the best smartphone I have ever bought, five years in the making and it still offers fantastic performance and receives new updates at the operating system level.

After all these experiences I am pretty clear, I prefer iOS over Android for three very simple reasons. The first is security, I know that this operating system is a fenced garden and that it leaves a little freedom to the user, but I personally do not need it, I prefer the layer of protection that it offers in exchange for the restrictions that it implements.

The second reason is performance and optimizationand iOS is a millimeter polished operating system that is developed for very specific hardware, which allows even a terminal like my iPhone 8 Plus, which is five years old, to scroll iOS 15 with absolute fluidity. . My third and final reason is supportand is that iOS has a much higher level of support than Android. As I said, my iPhone 8 Plus is five years old and will continue to be supported until at least 2023, when it will be six years old. If you bought its direct rival, the Galaxy S8, at that time, you would stop receiving new versions of Android in 2019.

Now it’s your turn, iOS or Android and why? Read in the comments.
