The great mobile OS rift: Abandon your ’droids, it’s time for apples... or is it? (Episode 06)

In this ThatITShow podcast, we discuss the ultimate tug of war in the mobile space - Android vs iOS battle. Recently, one of us (Jasmin a.k.a. Mister Cough-er) switched sides from 'droid to iOS as a self-trolling yet information providing service. To oversimplify, Android, with its open-source operating system and customizable options, has won over a significant portion of the smartphone market. On the other hand, iOS, with its sleek design and seamless integration with other Apple devices, has a strong following as well. The debate over which platform is superior is heated, with arguments for both sides. Some argue that Android's customization options give it an edge over iOS, while others praise the simplicity and security of Apple's operating system. The two platforms have a bit different approaches to the smartphone market, with Android targeting a wider demographic and iOS focusing a bit more on premium experiences. We debate the merits of using one vs another, and approach the discussion from multiple market segments.
