When buying a phone, we generally recommend sticking with the same platform your current smartphone uses. At a minimum, switching entails learning the quirks of a new interface and potentially losing access to purchased apps, app-specific data, or even photo and data services. But if you’re considering a switch, we have some insight on the real-world differences between iOS and Android, gleaned from thousands of hours of using phones and tablets on both platforms.

Why apple smartphone is expensive

Innovation

Apple’s technological innovation is another reason why its products cost more. The recent advent of the M1 CPU chips is a good example.

By replacing Intel’s CPU with Apple’s-own ARM-based silicon, not only did Apple get better performance out of its Macs and iPads, but it also revolutionized the CPU industry. And Apple has been doing this for a long time; the iPod being a classic example. This behavior has placed Apple as a thought leader in Silicon Valley.

To keep leading the tech industry, Apple has to invest heavily into research and development of new technology. According to Statista, its R&D budget has recently been as much as $20 billion.

Branding

By introducing products across many categories like watches, phones, computers, earphones, notepads, and even coronavirus masks, Apple has become more of a lifestyle brand. Add this to the intricate details, premium feel, and perceived value of Apple’s products. It’s a luxury lifestyle brand—where owning its products is a symbol of status and a luxury lifestyle.

Customer Loyalty

No matter what reason you put forward, one that never makes Apple rethink its pricing is its loyal fanbase, who are always ready to pay the premium price. There has been a ridiculous increase in Apple’s prices and revenues over the past couple of years, but its product sales and popularity have grown too.

android vs Iphone

You Want More Freedom, Control, and Customizations. Since Android is an open-source platform, it offers more freedom and customization options than iOS. You can customize almost anything on your Android device, from how your home screen looks to how you interact with you mobile.

Both iPhone and Android provide solutions for people with different needs. If you already own Apple products like the Mac, iPad, or Apple TV, getting an iPhone is an easy choice. If flexibility or apps are important, go for an Android. Different categories matter more for certain people.

Best phone 2023

Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 Ultra is undeniably the most complete smartphone you can buy right now. It’s built with a large 6.8-inch AMOLED display that produces vibrant visuals both in the brightest and dimmest environments, a reliable 5,000mAh battery, four cameras at the rear to help you capture a variety of shots, and an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for.

That last bit is especially important given how much more powerful yet efficient the new Ultra flagship is, even when compared to last year’s S22 series. In my ZDNET review, I mentioned that “the mobile platform brings meaningful improvements to the Galaxy phone experience, while Samsung’s done its part to optimize the S23 Ultra with a larger vapor cooling chamber and more efficient back-end processing. Together, you get a phone that’s powerful enough for any type of user, including mobile gamers.” For a smartphone that’s not made specifically for gaming, that’s as high praise as it gets, right?
