Apple and HTC have been competitors in the mobile market for quite some time. An iPhone owner can spend hours arguing with an htc device owner about the qualities of a mobile phone.
iOS or Android?
The HTC smartphone runs Android, while the iPhone runs native iOS. There is a lot of research on the merits of mobile operating systems; each has its own followers. Although Steve Jobs called Google, the Android developer, "the bastards who copied iOS," his line is largely driven by a desire to protect the existing intellectual monopoly.
The iOS system is famous for its convenient and logical interface, but it is not easy to change it for yourself - in comparison with Android, of course. The glory of the operating system from Google brought extensibility, "live" wallpapers. It is easy to update and modify it. The advantage of iOS can be called the Siri system - a polling voice control system.
In general, there is an opinion that the Android system (and HTC) is more suitable for people who want to understand the "hardware" of the phone, to customize the functionality "for themselves". The iOS (and iPhone) system is more suitable for buyers who want to use an already configured device.
Retina or HTC sensor?
The screens of Apple and HTC mobile devices attract with their glossy shine and high sensitivity. In the early days, the iPhone was the only smartphone with a touchscreen. HTC also appreciated the importance of developments in the area of screen color reproduction. HTC screens have qHD technology. Retina (translated "retina") has a high resolution. This way, you can look at the iPhone screen without noticing the pixels. The HTC resolution is also quite high, however, due to the brightness of the screen, the pixels are still visible.
CPU
A processor is one of the most important parts of any smartphone; the speed and the level of tasks solved by a mobile device depend on its power and architecture. HTC is developing in a "capacity building" format, while Apple, having the ability to optimize "hardware" for the operating system (and vice versa). Apple pioneered the transition to 64-bit processors (versus HTC's 32-bit processors). Thus, the "apple" company from Cupertino has a strategic advantage in the processor architecture. HTC competes with the iPhone in terms of power, but is significantly inferior in performance due to processor technology.
AppStore or Google. Play?
To write programs for iOS devices, you need a Mac and a developer certificate (a year of the certificate costs $ 100). You can write Android apps on any computer. You don't need to pay for a developer license to do this.
The openness of Google. Play is imbued with the spirit of competition. Everyone can upload the application, they are not pre-moderated. In contrast, all AppStore applications are researched by Apple's testing department. Thus, it is believed that although there are many more applications for Google, their quality is generally inferior to those for iOS. This issue is considered controversial, as most of the major developers release games and applications for both the AppStore and Google. Play.
