iOS 7 SPANKS Samsung's Android in user-experience rating

Jimmoboot

Can't we all just get a long.

What we all need to remember here is that this is just one guy's opinion on what he believes to be the best user experience.

I personally use an Android phone (HTC One) and have had many Android phones throughout their short 5 year lifespan.

Having used an iPad which was running on iOS6 and having traded it in for a Nexus 10 I would say that I found the wealth of customisation and having the option of personalisation a much bigger bonus than the overly simplistic approach of the iOS model.

If people ask my opinion on what kind of tablet they should go for I generally tell them to get an iPad if they just want one that works simply and have the cash to burn, but if they want a whole host of other features I recommend Android, it depends on the technical skill of the buyer as to what they find the most pleasurable.

The iPhone is a force in the market due to its style and it just happens to have a simple OS which people can use without thinking too hard. It is a platform to enjoy the content and it does it with ease.

Android can be a choice for those that can't splash the cash on an iPhone or a highend Android device but at least the choice is there, as with Android the choice to do many things is also present. It doesn't just provide the content that an iPhone can also deliver, it enables the user to do much more if they want to, and if they don't they can customise it to make it as simple as iOS.

This war between iOS and Android is dumb, afterall; both OS' have their strengths and weaknesses, as with everything in the world.

Who gives a toss?
