The iPhone vs. Android debate can be divisive, but it ultimately adds up to the fact that Android phones typically provide more features for a lower price. Having said that, it’s amazing to observe how an iPhone remains an aspirational product in India, with the majority of users wanting one if it weren’t for the exorbitant price tag.

Both platforms – Android and iOS – are well-established at this point, having been around for almost a decade. That means both offer extensive features, and there’s very little that one can’t do better than the other. Nonetheless, each has advantages, and there are reasons why you might prefer one over the other.

Now, in a move to get people to switch to iPhone, Apple explains why iPhones are superior than Android phones in its new campaign called ‘Hear from the Switchers’. The Cupertino-based tech giant is highlighting some reasons or features to make a case for its flagship product. Here are some of the reasons.

iPhones offer more Privacy than Android

Privacy and security have been one of the primary highlights for Apple and the company says, “Apps need your permission to track your activity across other companies” apps or websites. For iPhone users, Face ID is itself a privacy blessing. No one can unlock iPhone even when the user is sleeping or unconscious. Secondly, you could turn off access to the microphone, GPS location, camera, photos, contacts, etc. individually, for each app. Unlike Android where all the permissions are asked right at the installation stage and there’s no going back.

Regular iOS and Software updates

iPhones are also known for their software updates. Android phones are notoriously slow to receive software updates. On the other hand, there are no such concerns with the iPhone. iOS upgrades arrive on a regular basis, bringing new features and security improvements to your iPhone. Software upgrades bring a slew of new functions to your smartphone, keeping it ‘up to date’. Software upgrades also provide popular new capabilities to iPhone, such as Share Play.
