Top 12 advantages of Android over iPhone in 2022

January 4, 2023
iphone vs android 2021

Android phones have certain advantages over iPhones. This article lists 12 Android advantages over iPhone.

Here are 12 reasons Android smartphones are better than iPhones.

1. Reasonable Price

Android’s cost beats iPhone’s. Because there are so many Android device makers, there are numerous affordable smartphones. Android has options for every budget, but iOS is more expensive and limited. Although certain brands like Samsung have costly iOS devices, there are still inexpensive options.

2. More Android hardware options

Android phones vary in size, shape, features, and price. New Android phones are released annually. Regardless of your budget, you may likely discover an Android device with exclusive features.

3. Memory expansion

Android phones are primarily extendable. You can insert a micro SD card into a side slot on your phone to add memory.

Apple and other phone companies charge excessive rates to double or triple smartphone storage. Google Drive promises Android users 15GB of free storage and iCloud 5GB.

4. Type C USB port

Android has moved to the more modern USB-C standard. USB-C is used by Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell, and Apple laptops. USB-C is the perfect single-port solution the industry is moving toward, unlike Apple’s Lightning cord. It also enables faster charging. Apple no longer includes a charger in the box.

5. Headphone jack Port

An iPhone lacks a headphone jack. Many Android devices still include headphone jacks, which Apple discontinued in 2016. That’s significant for folks who still use wired headphones for music, podcasts, and audiobooks.

6. iTunes is optional.

Android users don’t need iTunes; they have additional music-related options. More music, movies, TV series and games are coming to Android. Apple is a hardware and software pioneer, but iTunes is a bloated mess. Uninstalling iTunes is so tricky that Apple gives detailed instructions.

7. Launcher

A launcher, or home-screen replacement, adjusts your android phone’s software without making permanent changes. Launchers can be downloaded and installed through Google Play. These apps change your phone’s home screen, drawer, and icons. It’s hard to see Apple allowing this for the iPhone, but it appears to ease its grip on home screen customization. 

8. Multitasking

Split-screen mode on Android improves multitasking and can save time and productivity if used effectively. Apple hasn’t added this ability to the iPhone yet. iOS multitasking is debatable. You can multitask by switching apps, but that doesn’t compare to other Android phones.

9. Widgets

Android’s widgets have long beaten iOS’s. Android offers home screen widgets. Dark Sky software displays weather, clock, alarms, flashlight, email, calls, and more on your home screen.

Apple never had widgets on any main home screen until iOS 14 in 2020. They’re limited and solely on the notification area. Android leads here.

10. Back button

Android’s back button facilitates seamless app switching. In iPhone, there is no back button, but contextual back buttons within apps or a back button when you click a link appear.

11. Play store has free apps and games.

Installing apps from unknown sources is possible on Android. You can install apps even if Google doesn’t approve them. Google’s app store is less restrictive.

Ios only allows App Store downloads. Apple store bans video game emulators, BitTorrent clients, and other contentious software.

12. Customization

Android is customizable. Android has live keyboards and backdrops. Apple doesn’t allow advanced hardware customization.

iPhone lacks Android’s customizable home screen. You can arrange apps anywhere on Android’s non-grid home screens. Android’s home screen can be set in any design.
