Android vs iPhone Wars - Impact of Verizon iPhone on Android User

With Verizon offering iPhone, the dream run of market share by Android might actually be falling down. Here's more on the impact of Verizon iPhone on Android user which in somewhat close terms signifies the popularity of the iPhone despite the cost factor:

This February, Verizon brought the iPhone to its doorsteps. The impact of Verizon iPhone on Android user has since then began in earnest and has reached a limit where surveys have begun saying positively that Android market might actually be falling down. Before this incident, Android market shared about 15-20 percent of the smartphone buyers. Now where this has fallen is not exactly known or predicted, but the fall is huge enough to create a massive impact on the Android market.

The war between Android smartphones, like Samsung, HTC and more and the iPhones has always raged. With Google Android smartphones being offered on Verizon, the war just became bigger. However, with the latest decision by Verizon to bring the iPhone on its plans, the whole equations change. Popular surveys have been conducted on the buyers and mostly point to the fact that the success of Android phones on Verizon network was mostly because there was no iPhone being offered. The iPhone on Verizon has come in the CDMA version which actually is not that great considering AT&T. However, people are still ready to move or shift to iPhone on Verizon.

A lot of factors have been cited. Some people feel the iPhone has a great interface, while some say they are going for the iPhone because of the multimedia features. Many cite the fact that the iPhone has a powerful and more featured browsing, email, IM and network features. There are others who say they would like to get the iPhone on Verizon for the camera that it has. Survey has pointed out that not only the Android market but the BlackBerry market too might get affected because of the decision.

The Verizon iPhone has data plans that are quite good – because only Verizon offers unlimited data plans as of now. The voice plans too are quite good and on an equal-footing with the only other provider of iPhone – AT&T. The Android smartphones, especiall the Google S, might have already realized that these were bought only because of lack of options for the customers. Not that the Android smartphones are underperformers, but the fact that the iPhone simply beats them all makes it a wonder smartphone to be had no matter what.

Points to Consider While Switch Over iPhone Carriers – AT&T and Verizon

This is a time when people need to consider some points while switching over iPhone carriers. The switch is often required by people who are not happy with the costs involved or the features of their present provider. The iPhone comes in two variants – AT&T and Verizon. While the former is a GSM provider the latter provides a CDMA version of the iPhone. Here are some points you should consider before switching over iPhone carriers.

1.    Network Coverage – This is the first and foremost criteria if you need the best calling and messaging experience. Let's have it – the iPhone has become a handheld computer but still, calling is the primary task. If you don't get good support on that, it becomes a total waste altogether. This is why network coverage of the providers must be taken into account. For now, AT&T seems to lead the race, being far ahead of Verizon, but having said that, it should also be noted that both providers have good coverage and are upgrading it this year.

2.    GSM, CDMA – The debate between GSM and CDMA is a never-ending one. We thought CDMA phones are gone for good but here comes the iPhone 4 on CDMA with Verizon! No one expected iPhone to support CDMA but that does mean something – Apple supporting CDMA is not a joke. But CDMA, if you happen to travel to European countries a lot, does not hold that much good for you. It is in fact not of any use. GSM is here to stay and with rumors of 4G coming up, GSM will hold the market.

3.    Multitasking Capabilities – On CDMA, there is very little multitasking. You can make a call and browse a website simultaneously. But GPS has multitasking on full-swing and lets you do a lot of other functions through the SIM even as you call. These various features make GPS far more powerful than CDMA.

4.    Cost – Last but not the least, cost is an important deciding factor. One needs to calculate the call costs, the message plans, the data plans and all other costs involved before one finally decides on which provider to go after. Switching iPhone carriers is easy but one definitely needs to know how it would affect your mobile expenses. This again depends on which you use more – data, calls or messages!

Why Professionals Prefer iPhone Over Android?

Why professionals prefer iPhone over Android? Why the recent market trend and reports suggest that the Android market share, though growing in size has not even come close to the iPhone market share? In fact, while more number of people are choosing Android phones, there is an even more number of people buying the iPhone and other iOS related products every year. The tug-of-war between Android and iPhone seems to be in favor of iPhone, and in fact, the stakes are clearly written – iPhone seems to beat Android.

1). Perfection Maniac – Android is the open-source version of software while iPhone dictates every little nitty-gritty that goes into any app. This means, on iPhone, you have apps that are very clear, concise, simple and elegant and on the Android, even though you might have apps as much as (if not more) that for iPhone, those are buggy, problematic in most cases and poorly designed. IPhone (and Apple) is a perfection-freak. It takes care of every little thing and that means it makes sure the apps stay user-centered and never get too detail-rich or techie.

2). Crash Numbers – Probably stemming from this issue, the problems of crashing OS have increased in Android. Not that iOS and the iPhone is not prone to crashes but the number of times an Android crashes due to buggy apps and problematic resources on the OS are far more than what the iPhone has to offer. Consequently, for business professionals who need a stable OS, the iPhone turns out to be better and they go for an iPhone.

3). Multimedia – Now this is something that everyone unanimously agrees. The multimedia capabilities of the iPhone are by far the best even when compared to those of Android phones. The Android multimedia is again not a standard one and there are many errors cropping up every minute – including those of import errors for photos or music. The iPhone, on its own (iPod) brings the best media experience and there are countless high-quality apps which make it even greater.

4). Accessories – Android accessories are few and far in-between and iPhone apps are cheaper. That's hands down and not many can contradict that. It is a known fact that accessories for Android phones are costlier and need to be carefully selected and bought. IPhone apps are something like dime a dozen and can be found in plenty.
