The competition between Apple iOS 8 vs. Android 5 Lollipop vs. Android 4.4 KitKat was impending ever since Apple launched their latest OS and Google announcing their rival. Now the question is, what are the major differences between these last-gen OS and Android 4.4 KitKat? Let’s find out.
We have heard numerous times in the past that Apple has an edge over Google in terms of their OS capability. However, with the launch of Android v5.0 Lollipop, the tides have turned. The Apple iOS 7 shared a huge advantage over Android KitKat, and this was fairly accepted around the globe since 68% of users upgraded to iOS 7 instantaneously.
Android’s latest updates are known to be rigged with bugs and major glitches and hence the adoption rate is fairly low for each new Android upgrade. Even though the iOS is known to be rigged with bugs, Apple takes special care to get rid of these at the earliest. Hence, users have no major reason to complain about.
The iOS 8 however tells a different tale. It launched via he iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and have been reported to feature numerous bugs from the start. Even though Apple addressed the situation quickly, minor problems persist. The Android L has been updated over time, although, a hands-on review is yet to be conducted. Hence, the fine tunes can only be revealed later!
Design:
The iOS 8 has gone numerous upgrades since the iOS 7, although, its outlook has been kept minimalistic for an elegant feel. Google has endowed Android 5.0 with a new ‘Material’ look, which is a tad different from Android KitKat. Android veterans will enjoy working with Lollipop, even if for the sheer difference.
Performance:
The iOS 8 handles multi-tasking with ease, much like its predecessor but does not support side-by-side multi-tasking like Android. Android Lollipop features quite a few additional escapades such as viewing different tabs altogether, etc., which was missing on KitKat. iOS 8 is also known to conserve battery. A feature Google should think about implementing soon.
Compatibility:
Compatibility has always been problematic with Android since only a handful of devices running on the OS can be upgraded to the latest version, and this is the case with Lollipop too. Apple, on the other hand, takes care to make their new OS compatible with their previous generation iPhones and iPads. Hence, Apple takes the pie in this segment
