IOS6 VS ANDROID 4.1 (JELLY BEAN)

IOS6 VS ANDROID 4.1 (JELLY BEAN)

IOS6 and the Android 4.1 both have emerged as the titans of the new Operating systems in the mobile world. Both having their own new features and enhanced user friendly interface, are making consumers choice a bit difficult. Let’s see who has the edge in the market.
As far as the interface is concerned IOS6 as always rarely makes any changes to its interface, this time the additional things added is the Safari and the remodeled Music app. While the Android 4.1 have major changes in its user interface. Now you can respond to missed calls, notifications and texts easily on the interface rather than opening a separate app. This allows faster interaction and saves time and touching and swapping. Project butter now takes care of the lagging animations in the OS, but it will require a powerful processer to run. Another new feature is that the home screen itself adapts the widgets and when the widgets are too big they resize themselves. As far as the interface is concerned Android added some new features which might take the lead this time.
Now let’s look at the additional features, the voice input/assistant in IOS6 named by the Siri is much more interactive and enhanced now. She keeps the records of the games, understands more languages and opens apps for you. Now she can find restaurants, set the reservations and can tell you the weather along with complex calculations. Google also came up with a serious competition as the Google Now feature gives you suggestions according to your location and helps you catch the train or the bus. Shows you latest sports, weather and business updates as well. Its voice assistant is also very effective and can take the command very well. It even lets you dictate the Android phone now. Hence Google’s own voice assistant and which can be dictated will take the lead here again.
Apple maps has been introduced it has 3d feature and a bird’s eye view but the Google Maps are still their and enhancing themselves as well, here it’s anyone’s game.
Passbook which is a new feature to IOS6 allows you to make payments and bills , lets you handle documents such as flight tickets, movie tickets etc. It senses where you are and shows the right card at the right moment. Google’s Google wallet has a rough start and is not that good and is considering to make it better. IOS6 is better in managing your important documents than Google.
Apple has added a new feature “do not disturb” mode so that no one disturbs you if you are in meeting etc. You can send a message in return or block a contact. Google has the same feature but lacks efficiency.
IOS6 features the Airplay which has been continuing from IOS5 but we still don’t see enough devices with such features. While Google has its Nexus Q which is a beautifully designed device and quite high at a price.
As far as the hardware is concerned which will run these OPs , IOS6 is supported by the 4th generation of the iPhone and there won’t be too much changes except that iPhone5 will support 16:9 aspect ratio and 4G network. Whereas the Android’s butter smooth performance will require higher specs. As more games are being produced high end processer might be required.
Overall both of the Operating Systems are looking good, both have their merits and de merits, lets see who will take the lead.
