Jelly Bean vs iOS 6, a video demonstrates which is better

Since the launch of iPhone 5, the first device with iOS 6 operating system, the question has arisen in most users: which operating system is better, Android 4.1 or iOS 6? Well, thanks to the companions of PocketnowThis can be seen in a video in which the best virtues of these two developments are compared.

In a comparison Jelly Bean vs iOS 6, the most important thing to assess is the usability offered by each of them. As usual in Android, its customization is its best asset, and currently it is unmatched. An example of this is its Notification Bar, in which you can add quick actions and it has a really simple and agile message removal system.

It is true that iOS 6 has improved a lot in this section of the Notification Bar, with options as attractive as being able to update the status on social networks Facebook and Twitter, but little else. An example: it is not possible to selectively delete received messages or add new actions to it.

Here is the video Jelly Bean vs iOS 6:

App stores are also important

iOS 6 has included some new features in its application store, iTunes, such as that its appearance is much more modern, but the truth is that the results obtained when searching are not as intuitive as in iOS 5 and it gives the feeling that it has gone a bit "backwards".

On the contrary, Jelly Bean now offers a store, called Google Play, which has a really great virtue compared to iTunes: all your content is centralized in the same place, while Apple plays with a system of "mini-stores" that can confuse the user a bit.

And, of course, there are voice recognition systems ... so striking today. Siri really is good, very good (more now that it supports Spanish) ... This is achieved since the associated application is capable of using the operating system in depth, so it sometimes offers really spectacular results. For its part, the service now included by Google in Android 4.1 has the virtue of being really fast and responsive in your searches.

In short, in the case of looking for customization and freedom, Android is the option ... and Jelly Bean offers a very fluid operation -as it is a very big advance by Google-. iOS 6, meanwhile, continues with the great stability and usability of previous versions of Apple's operating system ... but it appears to be more of an incremental advance, rather than innovative.

    It must be borne in mind that in this comparison android 4.1 is running on a galaxy nexus and it is perfect, on a galaxy s3 (more processor, more cores, more ram memory) it has to be more than perfect, luxury

    This article is right but at the same time it is wrong, since if you jailbreak IOS 6 it is much more customizable than Android
