Choosing a SmartPhone
Your choice of smartphone will depend on what you may be used to using, recommendation, personal preference, reputation and price.
Google uses an operating system called Android which is installed on several brands of phones (Samsung, Huawei, Sony, HTC, LG, etc.). Each manufacturer will offer a variety of phone models to suit your budget or requirements.
Android phones provide for openess, versatility, customisation and choice. Android OS updates are instant for Google phones but others can lag behind.
Apple uses an operating system called iOS which is installed on the iPhone only. This is manufactured by Apple.
Apple phones provide for stability, ease of use, simplicity, tight integration and quality. If an iPhone is eligible it will receive the latest iOS updates – this applies to all but the oldest models of iPhone.
