IOS 7 vs. Android 4.3 features

All along, the debate over Apple iOS and Google Android has never been interrupted, representing not only the world's two most advanced and popular mobile platforms, but also the taste and style of Apple and Google's two technology giants. So, when iOS 7 is officially launched, it's also a point to compare it to Google's latest Android 4.3, and let's look at the detailed differences between them.

1. Lock screen and main screen interface

Obviously, in the lock screen, Apple borrowed some Android style from iOS 7 and added more features, including quick access to the camera, control center, and notification interface, which, of course, increased the likelihood of misoperation to some extent. As for Android 4.3, there are different features that can be customized according to different vendors, such as Samsung, which offers a wide range of lock-screen paging and quick access features, without unlocking to access most mobile apps. The native system is relatively simple and provides a functional unlock in four directions.

As for the main interface, the 4-inch iOS model offers a page of 24 app icons, while Android 4.3 is up to 20, even if the phone has a higher resolution. Of course, it doesn't have much effect on use. The IOS 7 folder is more elegant and breaks down the number of applications, can be placed in countless applications, and the Android 4.3 Home screen folder can accommodate up to 16, with a slight limit. In contrast, Apple's layout is more traditional, unlike Android, which has many variations, such as widgets. But a cool new feature in the iOS 7 Home screen, fonts, folder colors change with the wallpaper, and if the wallpaper is bright, the text becomes darker and easier to read, which may be the next part of the new Android version.

2. Quick Control and Notification Center

Originally, iOS does not have a quick control function, Apple in iOS 7 to add it in, can be seen as a result of Android. Of course, Apple has designed the control center with its usual elegance, functional and practical, but lacks the customization of Android, especially some third-party interfaces. As for the Notification Center, IOS 7 also has a new design, with more specific display content. One of the contradictions is that the IOS 7 Notification Center can slide out at any time, such as you are playing a game or watching a movie, which is not possible on Android 4.3, but it also increases the chance of misoperation, so we suggest that Apple's ability to add double finger drop may be more humane.
