iPhone vs Android Apps

Just purchased an Android phone and already had iPhone 5 and have used its apps extensively . My question is that what is the difference between iPhone apps and android apps and if I purchase same app for both of devices which usually is better performing. Lets say I purchase a game for iPhone and then I purchase same game for Android which is usually better in performance.

The next thing is that if you compare iPhone apps vs Android apps which are more pricier and which apps out of android and iPhone are cheaper.
 
For the most part, it depends on which platform the app was originally made for, so if it's coming from Android, that one is a little better, if it's coming from iPhone, that one is better.

Most developers put a little more into their iPhone apps because they can charge more due to the perception that the average iPhone user carries and attempts to project. I have seen some iPhone apps that make me drool, but not enough to switch as I have some Android apps that I wouldn't trade at all.
 
They should be pretty similar, but my brother switches back and forth between Android and Apple a lot and he occasionally notices differences between the apps that annoy him. I think he said that the Google+ app was nicer on the iPhone than his S4! Like the animations and features and such. Weird!
 
Regarding the price of the phone, iPhone is way too expensive. However, there are other features that iPhone has that Android dont have. In the performance I believe it depends on how fast is the processor like new model of Android can out perform old model of iPhone. On applications, iPhone runs smoothly compared to Android. However, Android Apps are less expensive compared to iPhone apps.
 
I would say in general the user experience will be better on a good Android phone since the screens are generally larger. You can also root your phone and customize it to your liking.

There are Youtube videos that show the detailed differences between iOS and Android, but long story short, the Android user experience is often better, often times due to its integration with Google services.
 
For the performance, it depends on what Android phone you're going to try it on. Of course, the variety of Android phones mean that if you use an unknown brand or a cheaper one, performance might suffer compared to an iPhone app equivalent. But yes, I'm going to think it would ultimately depend on where the app was released first, generally. If the developers are used more to iOS compared to Android, the app might be better on iPhones and vice versa.

Yes, I agree. Android devices are great for unlimited customization the way you like.
 
They all will be pretty similar to be honest. All they are doing is porting it from one OS to the other and most of these games are very simplistic. The most recent craze is a game called candy crush which is similar to a game I use to play over ten years ago.
 
it would be a difference in just the development process nothing more than that.Mobile games are, in general, much quicker to develop than the mainstream PC and console games. Usually mobile games are published as early as possible, often after five months of development, in order to see how they perform. Consequently, mobile games can still be developed by a lone developer. However, the largest game studios can have up to 100 people working for a single project
 
iPHone 6 and ios 8, Apple has introduced a few features that have been available on Android smartphones for quite some time.

For example, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be the company's first smartphones to come with near field communication - a technology that lets phones talk to each other via a short range radio.

This means you can exchange data and make payments by simply tapping your iPhone against another compatible device.
 
The reason is that, with every Android phone I tried, it was much easier than I expected to get back to the smartphone experience I was used to. Here's what switching actually entailed:
swift codes of all banks
Turn on Android phone and spend 5 minutes clearing out manufacturer-added widgets and apps that I'll never use.
Dive into settings, spend 2 minutes tweaking keyboard, notification LED etc, and turning on the pattern lock.
Sign in with both work and personal Google accounts, fire up Google Play, and spend about 10 minutes installing 15 or so apps, including Twitter, Facebook, Kindle, Netflix, Android Device Manager (the power to remotely wipe that stolen iPhone was a comfort, and I wouldn't give that up), WhatsApp, Google Drive, Spotify, Snapseed and language app Duolingo (porque yo intento aprender español).
Sign into all these services.
Use phone.
The services I used the most were right there at my fingertips, in less than half an hour. It's true that there's a difference in the apps available for iOS and Android, and that iOS still tends to get new apps first, but for me at least, there was nothing missing. I realised the apps I used the most were multi-platform, third-party and free to download.

I suspect the hold that app ecosystems have on us will only get looser. For one thing, it's rarer and rarer to find apps you need to pay to install. All the apps listed above were free, even though many of them are services I pay for in one way or another. I've spent a lot of money on iOS apps over the years, but when I switched to Android, I didn't end up paying for anything twice.

Got the look swift and bic codes difference

As apps become more important than the operating system they sit on, could the cosmetic differences between iOS and Android (of which there are many), still be cause for an intense rivalry? Although Android looks and feels different, at its core it's a similar beast to iOS.
