user privacy.

SUGGESTIONS:

➢ Android should develop their processors, display efficiency and camera quality because the findings says that Android device is used and
preferred by the majority of my samples.

➢ Proper updates should be given or stable software update should be provided by Android to avoid bug issues or freezing issues.

➢ Most of the samples prefer triple camera in both the devices, so both Android and iOS should bring their devices including triple camera, this
can bring a major change in consumption of android devices and iOS devices.

CONCLUSION:

Android and iOS have already conquered the consumer market, and with the users becoming accustomed to those devices, more people want to use them
for work. In the competitive environment where every second, day a new technological advancement takes place and both iOS and android are pushing
themselves every now and then to achieve excellence in their products. Today Android’s percentage share in the market is increasing at a increasing rate
on the other hand with iOS coming up in the market it is stealing all the market shares. With the help of our research it is found that android is rapidly
taking its pace in the eyes of today’s youth and every person today wants affordable and best operating system which android guarantees to provide to its
users. Hence, both Android and iOS have their own advantages and disadvantages and we consumers should choose and promote these things properly.
