Iphone vs. Android What do people look for when purchasing a smart phone? What are some of the major selling points that convince consumers that iphones are better than androids or vice versa? Some people would argue that the two are different in many ways. But when looking closely at the new Iphone 4s and the Android sells you can see that there are minimal differences. The Iphone 4s’s icon interface is simple to understand and to operate. The rows of icons allow easy access to all of the downloaded applications and preloaded icons. The Iphones pull down notification system allows you to see what updates you have for your apps, social networking sites, and keeps you up to date on weather. Android phones interface system allows you to do more from the notification system. When in the notification area of some of the HTC Android phones you can change the phone settings and switch between applications. Android phones use widgets that allow you to switch between different applications and see different information on one screen.
When it comes to comparing screen size and quality they both have decent features. The Iphone 4s has a higher LCD resolution level than most Android phones. Although the Iphone 4s has a higher LCD resolution the screen size is still that of the original size 3.5 inches. The level of brightness and clarity in the Iphone screen is much higher than the Android phones on the market. The Android phones have a larger screen than the Iphone 4s and make it easier to read text without having to zoom in. The colors and contrast that the Android phones have make watching movies better. The Android Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to have a HD display screen. Some customers prefer a larger screen while others prefer more detailed images.
Texting on the Iphone is fairly simple. Although the keyboard is smaller than most, the Iphone 4s is more accurate. The Android phones keyboards are different depending on the phone

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 is bigger in size, has a resolution advantage and better contrast.The iphone’s 4-inch LCD is very small compared to the S4’s 5-inch Super AMOLED display. The S4 would make things easier to read without the need to zoom in. In addition, watching movies and video clips are more immersive on the S4. The S4 is also better than the iPhone 5s in terms of resolution, offering 1920 x 1080 pixels or 441 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5s offers a fairly sharp picture at 1136 x 640 pixels, the S4 with 326 pixels per inch.The thing that is better than the S4 when it comes to display is the brightness. When viewed outdoors, the S4’s display was harder to read, especially in direct sunlight. The iPhone 5′s image was brighter with a cooler color cast. Even though the iPhone 5s’ screen is easier to read outdoors, the Galaxy S4’s display wins because of its size and resolution advantage, as well as its better contrast.…

    One major similarity between the iPhone and Android phones is their shape. For example, all models of the iPhone have been similar in shape, which can be noted in their rectangular shape and rounded corners. This exact shape can also be seen in many of the Android phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy and HTC Evo. iPhones and Android phones have also been noted for their large touch screens occupying the majority of the front space of the phone, and their job in navigation in place of traditional buttons seen on non-smart phones. Though the trend of this rectangular shape, rounded corners, and large screen has lead to many disputes regarding who had originally designed the structure, manufacturers continue to use this as the basic structure for their smart phones.…

    With smartphones having a multitude of similarities, how does a consumer know which one to buy? The major aspect a consumer looks for when picking a smartphone is quality. Quality is always present in good products, but that quality could be in the marketing techniques, not the actual product.

Samsung created the commercial “Graduation Party” to promote the Galaxy 8, and Apple created the commercial “Barber Shop” to promote the IPhone 7. Both commercials are trying to promote camera quality by using pathos, ethos, and logos. Both Apple and Samsung are strong in pathos and ethos, but Apple is weaker in logos than Samsung.…
