First, an operating system manages both software and hardware. It is the connection between human and computer in that we speak to the computer through the OS. More specifically, the OS (operating system) coordinates all aspects of the computer from the CPU(Central Processing Unit) to memory and storage. As for mobile devices, the OS is slightly less intensive in that it cannot perform the same functions as the computer OS does.
In the case of Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone, the OS are known as “Google Android” and “Apple iOS.” The Android OS phones are highly versatile, meaning they can be customized to a high degree. Part of the reason why is that Android OS is written in a Java, a common programming language. iOS apps uses Objective-C, which is much more obsolete. As for the interface, both have touch interfaces that makes interactions with the phone easy. For instance, both the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone have swiping, touch, and pinch measures. There is also a bar at the top of both phones that offer information about time, wifi and battery. In terms of apps, most of the popular apps are available on both the App Store and Google Play, so there’s almost no distinction between how apps function on these phones. The crash rates

There are many ongoing debates about which is more aesthetically pleasing, but that’s all up to preference. One of the major differences between Android OS and the iOS is that Android OS has an open source code. Anyone in the world has the ability to change and distribute the Android software for any purpose. On the other hand, the iOS is a closed source code, meaning that only Apple can edit, change and distribute iOS software. This makes the iPhone unique compared to the Samsung Galaxy. Any consumer who prefers iOS for any reason must buy the iPhone. This applies to all of the Apple products as none of the products are compatible with anything
Just like the iPhone. When the iPhone first came out it was one of the most popular phones ever. And from the iPhone then Samsung started to think we should create a phone that is similar to it. Till this very day Apple and every other phone companies compete. Although they are thinking alike they both come up with very different things. They make their phones operate differently. The Apple IPhone is easier to work with while the Samsung Galaxy phone is harder to operate. Although, Samsung has tried to make a duplicate like the iPhone both phones come with different features.
Samsung is Apple’s biggest competition when it comes to phones especially between Apple’s iPhone 5s to Samsung’s Galaxy S4. They are both very popular among consumers, but they are differently different from each other. It is an endless debate on which one is better, but it really comes down to which one is better for you as a consumer. There are good and bad issues with both phones such as with the Galaxy S4, the TouchWiz Ul remains a clumsy construction and lacks overarching design language, but the good thing about t...
When one sits back and thinks about it, Apple really makes products people want. There’s no real convincing that needs to happen as to why they they need an iPhone or iPod — people just get it. The features offered on Apple’s products are such “no brainers” that it’s an obvious purchase the consumer wants…or rather, needs to make.
...ctioned, communicated, and performed their daily activities. In doing this however, they must stay on top of other competitors by creating new innovative ways to attract the consumers. Some had a long history while others had a short one. Some were provided great feature while others didn’t do so well in this area. One thing is for certain, each operating system provided a use for many consumers that helped not only in the personal lives of many but also within the business world. As we see the history shows that once upon a time what began as a way to for businesses to operate has now turned into a way that people communicate. Technology continues to grow and advance and with that waiting to see what the future holds is a mystery but I’m certain that it will be world of amazement especially seeing where operating systems have come from to where they are currently.
Apple is one of the world’s greatest tech company and has its products sold in many countries. Apple makes about 34 percent of iPhone sales in America while compared to Android sales which is about 20 percent (Tung).
However in both systems, the hardware cannot multitask without the software, which enables the OS to be used and updated. Kernel code is responsible to manage the work in both hardware and software for the OS, and it also transmits the information using the Input and Output system in OS X and it does a similar function in Windows10, but it is called device manager.
Apps are somewhat hard to make because of software differences, they have a simpler code, which creates less time to make. The products that the software covers are also apart of their credibility as a brand. iOS covers the product line of apple which includes Macbooks, iPads, iPhones, and iWatch. While android covers a larger base of products, they lack the software reliability from their users of product. Samsung is a great example of this problem with recent blowing up of their products, which doesn 't only affect their brand name but also the software that backs up the product.
When searching for the latest device you have a choice between apple, and android. These two are similar but very different. Infact these both have two different operating systems.

There are many different features and styles of phones you can get. Also these all come at a price. This paper will talk about all these topics to make sure you have an idea on what device you would like to buy.
The Android operating system is well known among the masses, mostly known for its high tech phones that are released regularly. The mascot, a green alien for Android has also attracted a lot of attention. Android was founded by Andy Rubin and his partners Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White in 2003. In 2005, Google sought out the opportunity and bought Android. It was then developed by Google and Open Hands Alliance. As time progressed many improvements and updates were made since the initial release of the system. The operating system gets “sweeter” by the upgrade, literally; each operating system is named after a sweet treat. Some Examples are Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, and most recently, Honeycomb. Each operating system released alphabetically, each system greater than the last. Android is currently the most successful operating system, surpassing both Apple and Windows in sales (“History of Android”). Android appeals to customers through the consumers’ need for innovative technology; this has created visual aesthetic advertising techniques and brand rivalries, which in turn leads to Androids growing brand.
Technology has become a huge part of everyday life, and people seem to have one great debate and are fighting over which is the best phone, iPhone or Android. The Apple iPhone is a cellular smartphone that was created and is maintained by Apple Inc. Android is another type of smartphone that is accessible to consumers, but the operating system is powered by Google and many different companies produce Android devices. The different operating systems and interfaces have created a long and carried out debate to which was superior. iPhone is the better phone and there are many reasons as to why it is superior to its rival, Android. The iPhone’s sleek and beautiful design has users’ hands fondling the device and never putting it down. The operating system is very distinct, but is straightforward with its functionality. People who purchase the iPhone believe that they have received their money’s worth and more when owning and iPhone. The iPhone is better than Android when compared because of the beautiful design and attractive display, the operating system and its functionality, and the device’s personal worth is definitely worth the money spent to own one.
When it comes to smart phone market share in the United States, Apple still trails Android by almost 10%. But if you are to break out the market share figures then you will notice that IPhone reigns supreme by a very wide margin. According to a lot of recent data compiled by ComScore, Phone’s share of the United States smartphone market now is about 43.6%, followed by Samsung which is at 27.6%. Apples market has increased by 4% almost every year, while Samsung has been dropping by 4% almost every year. Although Apple is doing a bit better than Samsung overall, Samsung is still topping Apple with their Android. During the second quarter of 2015 Samsung took a 21.7 percent of the global smartphone market, with shipments 73.2 million units. A reason I feel Samsung is doing much greater then apple right now is their ability to have all these different features, which not only add modern things to their phone but also longevity. With the three new water proof phones that Samsung has come out with Apple has yet to release their first
Along with different brands, as you can imagine, there are an abundance of models too. So whatever you may desire in a phone, there are many different options to choose from when selecting an Android phone. As I stated earlier, the Google Play Store does not have many limitations on apps. This allows companies and individuals to upload and create their own apps, causing there to be more apps available to Android users. Not only are there more apps, the selection is much more broad and a desirable type of application may come in different forms over the Google Play Store.

Comparing the design between Apple and Samsung, they have some differences and similarities. Apple more focuses on simplicity than Samsung. Steve Jobs, was the CEO of Apple Company, always tell the employees that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. When you look at Apple products you will realize that there look really simple, clean and unique. IPhone only has very few colors, and most of them are black and white. Touch screen and three buttons on the side are pretty much everything on the IPhones. It does not have too many different series and most of the Apple products design very similar. Compare to the Apple, Samsung smartphones have many different series and designs. Customers have options to selects their favorite designs, colors or size among the Samsung’s
An Operating System (OS) is a manager which manages hardware and software components and makes them usable to the end user.
