The largest war in the world – Android vs. iOS vs. Windows Phone! – Virtual Poland

 
  “My iPhone is the best phone in the world – you do not know it! iPhone is terribly weak phone, Android is the best!” – These conversations and arguments between users of different mobile systems could cite many. Increasingly, you will notice that the users of the system very much identify with him. They believe that they possess the solution is the best in the world, and what the competition is doing is pure evil and a total misunderstanding. In such thinking forefront of iPhones users thinking about yourself, how about the members of an elite, closed social group. However, users of Android and Windows Phone are not much better. And you, the reader, what system you use, and why it is better than the other?

 
 War and the bickering between supporters of Windows and Linux are probably familiar to any Internet user, who read the comments under articles traktuj?cymi advantages and disadvantages of the different operating systems. Hot discussions, often offensive comments. Despite this, each system has a good, but in other areas. Windows mastered the consumer market, and Linux reigns supreme in solutions development, server, or even a TV software and routers. A completely different war is, however, in the field of mobile operating systems. Here users of iPhones lovingly point out the shortcomings of Android and make fun of a small number of applications for Windows. Do not say it almost never “give me my phone,” but almost every time they use the phrase “give me my iPhone”, “lost iPhone”, “saw my iPhone” as if it were a separate category of devices. Android users are fond of the name iPhone “srajfonem” and will be of great satisfaction to you please send photos via Bluetooth, of course, what the iPhone can not. Androidowcy not forget also about Windows Phone and will make fun of the endless list of applications muttering “scroll, scroll even 10 minutes, and you get to the application with the letter Z,” or will resemble the “Blue screen” probably known to every user of Windows XP. Users of Windows Phone is probably the least malignant group, but also can show your. They are proud that the phone integrates well with a desktop Windows, praise is a great option combined contact list even if the news from Facebook, but do not forget to point out to users of Android slowing down the system and its charms. There also will save iOS users, relentlessly scoring system “intuitive iTunes,” or asking mockingly “I downloaded the free app to trim songs, I made myself a new ringtone. And how much you had paid for your ringtone? ‘. Let’s see what we hate others (than ours) in mobile operating systems.

 
 
 Android, like any other operating system passed childhood diseases. True, in the beginning everything was clunky, underdeveloped, with many errors. The real argument was also owners of iPhones with a small number of available applications. Indeed, at that time the number of applications available for iOS was overwhelming compared to the amount of applications on Android. Today it is already mature, nuanced system with lots of free applications that transform the phone into an almost full-fledged computer. Such structures as the Xperia Z 2, Galaxy S5, LG G2, HTC One, or even the much cheaper models ahead of them can compete with the iPhone and its capabilities. War on malice, however, continues, and no one forgives no one.


 
 One of my favorite arguments cited by the multitude of fans of iPhones available in Android keyboards. As they say iOS-sheep – how many manufacturers, so many keyboards. As much as I want to ask – and so what? Android is so cool system that keyboard you can change at will. The iOS is one, which is only right and probably the best in the world. Perhaps it is, but are alien to its features such as Swype (Writing by dragging a finger), or an additional panel with numbers and punctuation. Have you tried przedyktowa? SMS in Polish in iOS? No? This try on Android, because it works just fine, and then the keyboard becomes almost unnecessary.


 
  “Android is ugly icons, do not have such sophisticated animations, or does not look so good.” It’s true that iOS much more attention to how they look in the operating system icons. In iOS are consistent and exactly the same large, and Apple makes sure that the system is not there any nightmarish icons painted in MS Paint. Is that a reason? It is because unlike iOS, on Android you can rearrange icons – bulk or individually – just the right application. We must admit, however, that the iOS in terms of icons and their consistency with the system however is better. So far, Android has nothing to learn from Apple, and the two companies may czuy? from Microsoft. Here the possibility of arranging an interesting main screen is extremely interesting and practical.


 
  “The iPhone has the best notification center of the world and the best access to quick settings!” on such an argument Android users only react with a loud laugh. Yes, the iPhone got the quick settings menu light years after it was introduced this solution on Android. What’s more, it’s Android, you can often personally modify the quick settings panel, and what Apple has prepared, as always, in the opinion of the company is the best and sufficient. A notification center? As for me, works the same, or at least very similar on both platforms and hard to clearly indicate the winner. Again, you can go back to Windows Phone and admit that the combination of contacts with notifications from social networking sites is a great option.


 
 By changing to the new iPhone will have the same thing in the old phone, and Android have to do it manually – another key argument iOS lovers. Yes, it’s true in the iPhone did not have to do virtually nothing to the new copy came to us all the contacts, emails, and applications. And in Android? Google syncs the content of our phone, back up etc.. Restoring data even on another phone, another manufacturer is therefore no problem. Even if the phone will not want to do it yourself, shop Google Play allows you to install all the applications related to our account in a simple and fast way. Try to move your data from iOS on the phone from another manufacturer. Oops .. I do not have a phone with iOS another manufacturer.


 
  “Android is a phone for the poor!” does not count up how many times I read the comments on the network. Is it really, the price is a determinant of who the phone? Given that even the Galaxy S5 or Z2 Xperia phones are really expensive, hard to consider this argument. So why Android is so popular? Because he has both top models in the prices of such as the iPhone, as well as simple equipment at very affordable prices. Not everyone needs a phone with a fountain and an oven. Some simply the ability to make phone calls, SMS and Internet access. Why then have to pay for the Galaxy S5? How big is the choice of devices with iOS know themselves.


 
  “Android hangs, slows down and is not as smooth as iOS”. In fact, it’s hard to compare the performance of the LG L3 which costs the operator 1 z?, performance and liquidity iPhone that the promotion operator costs the best option a few hundred dollars at the subscription well over 150 z?. It’s a bit like comparing a Mercedes with Dacia and say that the first is more space, and yet both are cars! Supporters of iOS do not want somehow to notice – Android is evil and so much! Android crashing? Yes, sometimes it happens because the system is not written into a single, specific device in which everything can be predicted, and the many models from different manufacturers, with different components. Using a long time LG G2 I do not remember the phone hung up ever.


 
  “iPhone – srajfon” is probably the favorite saying of all the enemies of this phone. One of the things that make fun of Android users is the lack of widgets. In Android it works great. On the home screen, the iPhone really does not have, we can pin a widget your choice such as the weather, alerts from Facebook, or just the icon of the selected contact to be able to connect with someone immediately. while the iPhone is its notification center, where we see the most important information. We find there and the weather, and comments on Facebook, and notifications from Instagrama, and even the estimated time to return home any time of the day. Do you need more? Oh and do not hide it, the widgets in Android can shorten battery life clearly. Turn off all of them, and you’ll see.


 
  “Do you have a charger for the iPhone?” This is another argument holders of Android and Windows Phone. Most manufacturers, whether forced by the European Union, whether by their own agreement chosen standard microUSB. This simple move has made a charger for your phone will find in our friends, we can ask for it for someone at a gas station, etc.. With cable for iPhone is much more difficult and there is nothing to hide. In addition, the original cable is quite expensive, so I buy myself a few wires to always have one with you, one in the car, one in my backpack, etc.. IPhone connector but also has its advantages. First of all, it is two-sided and the phone is completely indifferent to which side we put the cable. Apparently nothing, but the darkness makes it easy to insert Kabelka. Secondly, no other hardware is not so many dedicated accessories. With specific connector connecting the iPhone such as the audio system does not need us to be no applications, we can control the sound and the player with the level of the sound. Such equipment is a whole lot, and those dedicated to Android, and Windows Phone is a rarity.


 
  “screen-like five years ago.” You pay for your phone 3000 z? and get a tiny screen? Yes, buying the iPhone decide to totally outdated current trends screen size. We get, however, probably the best screen in the world. Glory be to him who sees anything in the sun on the screen LG Flex, or on the Xperia Ultra. And on the iPhone and you can see it as you can see! Retina Display is definitely one of the best designs on the market, with great colors, sharpness, resolution. It’s definitely one of the strongest advantages of the iPhone. And the touch. Here we can be sure that the phone will react immediately and exactly as you want it to. In Android it is with this very, very differently. Remember some models of Samsung Omnia

 
  “iTunes is a program of the same evil!” I must admit that even for some owners of iPhones is incomprehensible why do not you just connect your phone to your computer and upload those damn ‘em-pe-threes ” . I can not defend the idea of ??Apple because it bothers me alone and often opt out of downloading music on the phone, to the Spotify. On the other hand, iTunes is not the only program to upload something to the iPhone, but also a powerful tool that catalogs all of our music, and organize it in genres, styles, artists, etc.. That’s what I do with the music on your computer is immediately synchronized with your phone. I’m not playing then manually copying the files, because everything happens at the same time synchronization.


 
  “The possibilities are minimal configure iOS and Android can do what I please.” In fact, if someone likes to interfere with the system, change all the settings, play the upload launchers and fit the phone every every detail into each other that Android has no equal. On the other hand, do we really need to change anything on the phone? Average user to simply set your wallpaper, a favorite ring, notification, access to Facebook, YouTube, or Instagrama. iPhone allows you to configure many things, but it lets us into areas that are unnecessary by Apple – unfortunately wrongly. Phone is primarily a tool for communication, work and entertainment. Is to operate efficiently, securely and reliably. On iOS there is no such memory manager simply because it is not needed. There is also the possibility to configure many things we use – this is missing and will be missed forever.


 
 Windows Phone is the youngest player market, which, however, thanks to well designed and Nokia Lumia phones consistently gaining market. Androidowcy shoulder to shoulder with the owners of iPhones are pointing the mobile system Microsoft no application . Have a point, because if you look at the number of applications available on iOS and Android, and then at what Windows offers shop it will be heavily disappointed. Worse, when they go out some new, interesting application example to control a TV, it usually is only available on Android and iOS – application for Windows is a rarity. It’s a bit like the developers still have not trusted this platform and could not be persuaded to write applications for Windows Phone’a. It should also be acknowledged that many of the applications on the Windows Phone looks terrible, and their functionality is smaller and far from even the same applications from Android and iOS. On the other hand, Microsoft has made huge progress and the amount of available applications is constantly growing. Moreover, some applications developed by Nokia or Nokia can look for with undisguised envy. Holders of Android – remember how a few years ago you looked with envy on the number of applications available on the App Store? Windows also looking forward to them.


 
  “Tiles, tiles, large tiles everywhere.” interface used in Windows Phone one like it, others do not. You have to give him but that it is practical to use, and after a moment the habits you can use it quite comfortably. The crowning argument of opponents of Windows Phone is the size of the tiles. Indeed, in the space of one tile could fit four icons with Android or iPhone. However, this argument fell and Windows gives you the ability to change the size of the tiles. Moreover, many applications makes it possible to change the color of the icon so that it matches the other system. We can also freely choose a size of icons on the screen. What is the competition? Rather poorly.


 
  “Windows Phone is not updated often enough!” Indeed, the updates are not as frequent, but usually very extensive. What’s more, you can have Windows Phone belief bordering on certainty, that his phone, sooner or later, but will receive the update. What other Android users. Here, you can count on updates of the top mobile users. Updates for lower priced phones are not so obvious and are often overlooked by manufacturers.


 
  “Windows Phone does not work as efficiently and smoothly as the iPhone or Android” . Such an argument can extend only to those persons who have not had the opportunity to work with a phone with Windows. In contrast, even iconic, Windows XP desktop passage of time, or install more applications does not affect the slowing down of the system and its performance. Every time the phone is running smoothly and efficiently, it was attached to, does not slow down. You can easily switch between multiple applications, and everything still works exactly as it should. The problem of performance most have to do, however, users of Android. Here, the weaker hardware structures displaying large photographs may already result in slower operation of the phone.


 
  “The Windows Phone does not have any cool games. not proceed in the game itself!” . This is another myth that is not entirely true. Similarly, as in the case of the application, so in the case of games offer is much smaller than for iOS and Android. Successively arrives titles, but an avid player can indeed be disappointed. That’s what the weapons of Windows is that if we find a game that we like, regardless of the phone you have, you can be sure that it will work smoothly and seamlessly. Interesting is also connected to the Xbox Live account, where you can track our activity with the Xbox and use the same avatar.

Often too much identify with the phone, but rather an operating system that is installed in our unit. This creates a completely ridiculous and unnecessary conflict because each system has its advantages and disadvantages. Friends have seen cases of breaking the friendship just by a discussion of the superiority of Android over iOS and vice versa. Each system will have a great advantage, and if “Ajfonowiec” says that Android can not use a little intuition as to say that the real Christmas is only Christmas but Easter is the feast has no sense. “Ajfonowcy” may, however, stop and understand that not only their phone is in the world and understand that some of the features in other systems are simply done better. That something the iPhone can not and something does not exist, it does not mean that it is unnecessary function. The fact that someone stand on your iPhone, does not mean yet that someone has suddenly become a member of the elite club. Android lovers let the time forgive the fans of Apple and understand that if they want to use this phone that is their choice of more or less conscious. However, they do not let their owners blindly zapatrzonych fans of the brand (even if you ask for it) and they are happy that their Galaxy S5 or LG G2 simply can do a lot more than the iPhone. Let Windows users continue to enjoy their great headphones, cool system that will soon be as mature as his two competitors. Who knows if it was not reconciled Windows Phone iOS and Android world?

 
 Which system therefore choose? The answer is simple. The one that we like best. This, which in our opinion is the best for us. No matter what others say, it’s important to select the operating system that we met our expectations. To work and basic entertainment best choice may be smooth and fast Windows Phone. For lovers of tens of thousands of applications, games, entertainment in all possible ways, and for those who desperately want to change everything on your phone, the best choice may be Android. And the iPhone? iPhone with its iOS has similar capabilities as Android when it comes to variety of games and applications. It is, however, just like Windows Phone closed and still lags behind the screen size, or as useful elements like the ability to send the file via Bluetooth. The choice is yours.
