There is always an excitement in the air when
new operating systems are introduced in the
market. The competition is especially tough when
the operating systems are launched by Apple and
Android. This year we have seen two OS being
launched iOS 13 (which is an Apple initiative)
and Android Q (an Android vision). The question
now is which one of these two OS is the best. In
fact, there was a similar comparison that
happened between iOS12 and Android P. But, let
bygones be bygones. Today, we are more interested
in knowing how these two operating systems stack
up against each other. If you are looking to take
advantage of these two trending operating systems
it is best to avail the services of a mobile app
development company and get Android app
development and iPhone app development at a
reasonable price. In the forthcoming sections of
this write-up, we have provided a comprehensive
guide on both the OS by looking at their
features, similarities, and heads-on comparison
to determine which one of the two is the best OS
available in the market. We promise after reading
this content piece, we will be able to decide
which one of the two operating systems is the
best one according to your specific
requirements. Before we look at the differences
between Android Q and iOS 13 it is extremely
important to look at the new features that are
being offered by both iOS 13 and Android Q.

• Lets start with Android Q features.
• While there are lots of features that have been
  announced by Google as far as the Android Q
  features list is concerned, we will look at only
  the impactful ones.
• Foldable UI Support
• Samsung has already made an announcement that
  they would be launching a foldable phone. Keeping
  this in perspective, few other OEMs have decided
  to explore the foldable SmartPhone market. And
  with the Smartphone manufacturers taking interest
  in the foldable SmartPhone market it made perfect
  sense for Google to include it in their latest OS
  update. This is one of the best features that is
  included in Android Q. It should be noted that
  Google has already announced that it would be
  extending support to foldable UI in Android Q.
  Great news, isnt it?

• Resolution to Keep Split Screens in Active Mode
  while Running the Primary Application
• Android Q will have an advanced feature in its
  OS by having an upgraded version of PHP mode and
  Split Screen. This way you would be able to work
  around all the split screens in an active mode.
  In simple terms, the apps that will run in the
  background will not go on sleep mode while you
  are using the primary application. Can it get any
  better than this?
• Inclusion of Vulkan API to Provide Superlative
  User Experience
• News is going around that Android Q will consist
  of Vulkan API. It is nothing but an API
  comprising of low overhead, cross-platform 3D
  graphics. This will assist in providing a
  superlative user experience.

6

• Treble Support
• Google is trying to improve the Treble
  compatibility within Android Q. Through this
  feature, users will have the scope of employing
  flash GSI on devices that are running on Android
  Q. One great thing that will happen with this
  feature is it will promise a much quicker system
  update.
• Dark Mode
• This is one thing that is also present in iOS
  13. Using this feature, Android users will have
  the scope of saving their battery consumption
  without compromising the whole experience and
  keeping it easy for the eyes.

7

• Smart Lock Not Limited to Pixel Presence Devices
• Android Q will upgrade its smart lock
  functionality which until now was limited to
  Pixel Presence devices but now it will be used by
  other users too. It will assist in swift ways to
  unlock the devices. Lets look at some of the
  situations where you can unlock the device.
• When the device is in physical contact with your
  body
• When the SmartPhone is in a trusted location
• When you connect it to a trusted Bluetooth device
• When the phone is able to recognize your face and
  voice
• Screen Recorder
• With the help of Android Q, Google has decided
  to provide the functionality of screen recording
  to the Android users. This feature will help
  users to capture the things happening on their
  device in a video format. It will also provide
  the voice-over functionality to the users through
  which they will be able to speak while capturing
  the screens content. Brilliant idea, isnt it?

• Flash Multiple ROMs on a Single Device
• Android Q is all set to take Project Treble to
  the next level. This would enable developers to
  flash multiple ROMs using a sole device very
  easily. This will be done without performing data
  wipe or unlocking bootloader. This way Android
  development companies and OEMs will be able to
  test newer Android versions at a quick pace.
• Seamless Notifications
• Android Q is set to change the notification
  setting. With this feature, the notification will
  not fade on its own until you act on them. In
  other words, until and unless you slide left for
  opening the notification or slide right to
  discuss them it will not go away.
• New Sharing Shortcuts
• Android Q will make the sharing for the users
  effortless. Through this new shortcut feature,
  Android users will be able to switch to another
  application for sharing media. This way it would
  become possible for them to cut back on multiple
  steps that users would normally follow for
  sharing items between applications.
• Now that you have looked at the new features
  that are expected to be present in Android Q it
  is time to look at the features expected to be
  there in iOS 13.

• Here are the most important Android iOS 13
  features.

• System wide Dark Model
• Apple, the tech giant is now working on
  improving the optimization. With the help of this
  feature, the system-wide operation would alter
  all the hues and transform them from white and
  light grey to dark grey and black on the
  supported applications. This way iPhone users
  will be able to use their phones even after dark.

10
Restyled Photos App

• This new feature will completely overhaul the
  Photos app present in Apple devices. This will
  have a major impact on the competitive rivalry
  between iPhone and Android. It will become
  possible for the users to create their
  comprehensive photo library. All this in
  conjunction with showcasing highlights of your
  time day, month, and year wise. With the
  presence of the in-built photo editing tool,
  iPhone users will be able to perform
  photo-editing with various brand-new
  functionalities.

11

• Sign In with Apple Option
• This new feature will enable iPhone users to use
  the new sign-in with Apple option which would
  make them feel safe and secured while signing
  into websites and applications. This Apple ID
  will be used to authenticate with the help of
  Face or Touch ID. Also, the developers will be
  given an exclusive ID instead of real
  information. Apple is also planning to have
  single-use random email IDs so that you will not
  require to share the addresses with the
  applications again.
• Single Time Location Access Permission
• There are new controls that are coming up in the
  iOS market that limit the data which are shared
  with the applications. This way your privacy will
  be more protected. Under this feature, you will
  be required to give apps permission to view your
  location only once. Rest of the time, Apple will
  send out notifications that will help you to know
  those apps which are using your location data.
• Updates in Apple Maps
• The new iOS 13 maps will have broader road
  coverage, accurate addresses, and a very
  comprehensive land cover. It will also provide
  information pertaining to the street-level image
  of the city coupled with a collection feature
  through which you will be able to share places
  and restaurants with friends.

12

• New Reminders App
• Under this new update, Apple has introduced a
  new reminders app with clever features that will
  make the app a lot more useful. It will ensure
  that you are able to keep a tap of reminders
  easily. It will also enable you to use new
  toolbar for adding flags, locations, dates, time,
  etc.
• New Siri Updates
• Apple has upgraded Siri for iOS 13. Now, you
  will be able to hear an altogether new voice that
  sounds more natural than ever before. There will
  also be a Suggested Automation Feature which
  would recommend customized shortcuts which you
  would like to create. On top of this, Siri will
  now support Live Radio through radio.com, TuneIn,
  and iHeartRadio.
• Now, that you have looked at the features of
  both iOS 13 and Android Q it is time to look at
  the similarities between the two OS which bring
  them to common ground.

13
Similarities Between iOS 13 and Android Q.

• While the individual features paired against each
  of these operating systems make them tough
  competitors, there are two updates in particular
  that bring them to common grounds.

14

• Dark Mode
• Both the operating systems are coming with a
  dark mode which can get activated through the
  settings option of the device. Both are aimed to
  replace the otherwise background with the dark
  ascent. The amazing part is, all the first-party
  apps will have this automatic update. While the
  third-party mobile app developers will have the
  option of employing the companies toolset to add
  this functionality.
• Privacy Enhancements
• Both the brands are focusing rigorously on
  keeping the user privacy intact. This has become
  possible with the help of new enhancements in
  their operating systems. In the case of Apple, it
  is coming up with Sign In with Apple
  functionality, while Google is concentrating
  fully on the location setting to protect the data
  of the user.
• These are some of the similarities between the
  operating systems. Now, let us divert our
  attention to the final section of the write-up
  which will provide a comparison between the two
  operating systems and help you decide the best
  amongst them.

• Focus on Privacy Settings
• Googles major business comes from targeted ads
  that totally depend on users data which is not
  the case with Apple. It mainly concentrates on
  services, apps, and hardware. Even after the huge
  promise by Google through Android Q to provide
  greater control over what gets shared, it is not
  up there yet. While in the case of Apple, it has
  the Sign In with Apple functionality that gives
  far more advanced privacy settings than ever
  before. So, ever there was a question of which of
  the two operating systems is better in terms of
  protecting the privacy of the users then Apples
  iOS will be a definite winner.
• iOS 1 Android Q 0
• Dark Mode
• Google introduced the dark mode in Android P
  which it is merely passing on across the new OS
  with Android Q. While when we talk about Apple,
  it has a vast amount of experience in this area.
• I t was way back in the year 2018 when it first
  introduced a dark theme in MacOS Mojave. This
  time around, with iOS 13 it is planning to bring
  this functionality in mobile devices as well. So,
  clearly in terms of dark mode too Apples iOS is
  a definite winner.
• iOS 2 Android Q 0

17

• Maps Enhancements
• Apple Maps does a wonderful job when it comes to
  providing information pertaining to point A to
  point B while traveling. Although, Google Map has
  a lot of things on offer in this regards like
  more accurate address, street view in 3D, etc.
  The functionalities that Apple has added in iOS
  13 have made it come in equal terms to Google.
  Here, the honors are shared amongst the two as
  there is no definite winner. Hence, we are giving
  one point each to both the operating systems.
• iOS 3 Android Q 1
• Voice Assistants
• Apples Siri has been around since a very long
  time as far as the voice assistant market is
  concerned. But, Google Assistant has now
  surpassed Siri and it has become the best
  assistant available in the market. The problem
  with Apples Siri is during one of our demos we
  found that Siri was not able to identify voices
  and commands properly even after iOS 13 Siri
  update which is proposed to make it sound more
  natural.
• Now, when we focused on Google Assistant it
  worked perfectly fine with commands. What is
  more, it even combines the command result with
  its massive search database. With constant
  updation of Android Qs Google Assistant chances
  are Apples Siri will fall behind here. So,
  Google Assistant is the ultimate winner here when
  it comes to voice assistants.
• iOS 3 Android Q 2

• Capturing and Sharing Photos
• Google photos has everything that you will ever
  need in photo service. It includes the best of
  supreme editing tools in conjunction with
  effortless photo sharing coupled with suitable
  backup. It even enables you to search for people,
  places, and things which have automatically been
  tagged in your images through the power of
  Google.
• Although Apples iOS has a wide range of editing
  capabilities it still has a long way to go as far
  as effortless sharing and limited free storage of
  5GB is concerned. It has to be noted that Google
  photos has free storage of 15GB. So, as we can
  all see the winner when it comes to capturing and
  sharing photos is Googles Android Q.
• iOS 3 Android Q 3
• First-Party Messaging Apps
• Apple has concentrated on providing messaging
  limited to two platforms Messages and Facetime.
  This way it ensures high-quality deliverables.
  The security measure is also great as all the
  communication that takes place is encrypted
  end-to-end. On top of this, Apple provides
  seamlessness when it comes to MacOS and iOS
  devices.
• Google adopts a far more expansive approach in
  terms of messaging. It has Hangouts and Duo for
  video calls, chat and Hangouts, Messages for
  texting, and Google Voice for voice calls. All
  this makes it look a lot more cluttered. And so
  the real winner over here is Apples iOS 13.

19

• Running Apps on Multiple Platforms
• It was in the year 2008 when Apple informed in
  the WWDC conference that it would be shifting
  certain iOS applications to MacOS with the help
  of a new tool known as Project Marzipan. In the
  year 2019 at the WWDC event, they announced that
  several iPhone app development companies would be
  able to bring iPad apps to Mac.
• Even Google enables users to shift apps between
  platforms by providing Chromebook owners to
  access apps through PlayStore. But, there are
  certain loopholes like the absence of Windows and
  Adobe PhotoShop that prove to be a constraint in
  providing effective results. Hence, the clear
  winner in case of running apps on multiple
  platforms is Apples iOS 13.
• iOS 5 Android Q 3
• Swipe Keywords
• If you are someone who loves to swipe instead of
  typing, then you will find Apples iOS 13 very
  late in the race. On the other hand, Gboard is
  setting new examples in the field of swipe-based
  messaging. If you think Gboard only consists of
  the swipe functionality then you are in for a
  shock. It even excels in other functionalities
  like availability of multiple themes, ability to
  put gifs, and employ various languages, etc. So,
  when you compare both the operating systems,
  Googles Android Q is the real winner here!
• iOS 5 Android Q 4

• The Finale
• In the end, it has got to be said that there is
  hardly anything to choose between both the
  operating systems. Only time will tell which of
  the two wins the battle of the best operating
  system.
