The age-old tech question of Android or iPhone, and which is better continues. However, the lines that define each device have become increasingly more obscure. Android is in many ways just as good, if not better than the iPhone, but it may also be the most diluted mobile product on the market. Much of the technology found on, in, or wrapped around Androids can now be seen in iPhone packaging. It is no secret that technology is bought, sold, or traded between Android and the iPhone, but which is better still remains undecided. It really comes down to a matter of personal choice. The latest of Google Android woes stem from a European Union antitrust inquiry due to the amount of apps offered on an Android. But is this Google’s fault, or the dealers of their products? And what ever happened to Project Ara?
Android is Stepped On as Much as Street Drugs
Like any street drug, by the time it makes it to the street, it has been diluted several times. This may be what is happening to the Android. The phone carriers have added or subtracted what they believe is best for their market, often leaving the original product weak, tasteless and useless to the tech consumer junkie. Facebook is one digital media dope man that makes a ton of profit running ads on Androids. Is Google at fault, or are they powerless against the carrier-phone maker agreements?
iPhone 7 May Swing the Vote in Favor of Google
The anticipated launch of the iPhone 7 may leave Apple consumers with a bad taste in their mouth. There are rumors that the design and features of the iPhone 7 will be less than appealing to a market that is generally used to being blown away every two years. The iPhone 7 may not even have the standard headphone jack, which may cause an uproar for those who don’t want to spend even more money on new headphones that are compatible.
What happen to Project Ara?
Project Ara was pushed back from its 2015 launch date to 2016, and Google still remains hush-hush about the project. Project Ara is a smartphone swap and upgrade compatible device that offers users the chance to buy new parts instead of new phones. The product is slotted for a tentative 2016 release, but no one is certain of an exact date. Project Ara could revolutionize the smartphone industry, or it could be a tragic failure. Is Project Ara appealing to you?
