Mobile Operating System: Analysis and Comparison of Android and iOS  
  Authors : Bharati Wukkadada; Ramith Nambiar; Amala Nair

 

Mobile operating system is a light weight operating which is used in mobile device. Some operating systems have additional features like sensor embedding and also OTG. In this paper we are going to compare between android and iPhone Operating System (iOS) mobile operating systems that available in the market which is more specific various issues. The issues which we are going to discuss in this paper is not only concern to mobile customers but also concern to software developers. The security requirements for MOS are Memory Randomization, Encryption, Data Storage Format and Built-in Antivirus. Memory randomization ensures that the memory regions of mobile application as well as system shared libraries are all randomized at device and application start-up. In this paper we want compare and analyse the operating system of the Android and iOS.

In this paper we have compared iOS and Android and we find the both have their advantages and disadvantages. iOS development requires a specific type of hardware that may be more difficult to obtain — but that might encourage cross-departmental collaboration and expose us to another operating system. The bar for Android is somewhat lower, as development can take place in any modestly equipped computer science laboratory. If we compare according to cost Android is much cheaper than iOS as android is freeware and device that support android is cheaper compared to iOS devices. The error reporting feature of iOS is much better then android as it give a live support to the users. And the hardware used to install iOS is much better then android. Regarding security issues iOS is fully secured and there is no need of any antivirus while android have some security issues. Overall comparison state that iOS is better than android but by cost wise android is better.
