Apple's recent update with respect to its mobile operating system, iOS7 has cerated a lot buzz in global mobile phone market. The launch of the OS has created craze not only among iPhone but also Android device users. But apart from great buzz and craze, there are certainly other things that drive people to buy a smartphone like iPhone, because Google too has announced to update its OS. So before users buy a smartphone, they first consider the platform than the latest technology.

Let us figure it out that which is the best operating system out of these two.

The UI
Apple's iOS7 is total rehash to its old version. The Control Center, for example, is translucent. It enables users easily navigate and swipe through the bottom of an iDevice. Accessing various functions, features, media controls and settings related to screen has turned easy too. Many apps can now be accessed even on your lock screen. However when the new iOS is compared with the Android platform, it appears to be rather similar in terms of functionality designed for tweets, email messages, sports scores and so on.

With new iOS, ...
... the company has tried to give a neat look to its mobile OS. Notifications and home screen menu in the new iOS7 appear to be well stacked. Here Android is still more complicated.

Multitasking capability and battery management

The recently introduced multitasking ability in the new iOS has embraced all the apps to run in single instant without draining too much power of the battery. The device now knows how much an app can affect the battery and adjusts itself accordingly. An iPhone installed with new iOS can allocate the power of the battery as per apps. On the other hand, Android OS keeps the closed app in background until other app takes the memory in RAM. So if you have quited the app, it will be running in background for a long time. Google still needs to workout to kill the background activities of closed apps for the better management of battery.

Mapping functionality

iOS has not got enough popularity for its Maps. The company has received rather negative feedback. Still, they are not working to improve this application. Still the application can be used to search for location. Apple needs to work more to improve this app.

Google, for the same type of app, has been giving an easy way to search maps, measure distance and get directions. Accuracy is the best part of Google's Maps application. Others have not succeeded to bring the same level of accuracy. The Google's map application is capable enough to provide user turn-by-turn directions.

The features of iOS Browser

The browser of the iOS gives users a fascinating full-screen view. But it appears to be a direct inspiration from Google Chrome. The Android OS hides the search bar of its web browser. It is only visible with a swipe. Apple has also adopted tab views. It seems Apple has copied too many things when it comes to browser.

The Voice Assistance

Siri is doubtlessly one the most innovative voice assistant applications so far. Much has been talked by those who are familiar in this field. Siri helps users at a lot of places such as toggling control related to Bluetooth and other settings. It's now also has social media integration so that things can be updated even without touching the phone. The in-car system frees users from keeping eyes on the device. However, Android too has a voice assistant application, but it is not that much effectual.

The above given points offers information to provide that iOS7 is one the best platforms ever created by Apple.
