Today was presented iOS 8, the new version of Apple’s operating system. Let’s do a review and a comparison between the new developments in your operating system and our Android 4.4 KitKat. Are large differences? Will Android Apple learned anything? And vice versa? What improvements have been made?
As we did with iOS iOS 6 7 e, now comes the comparison between iOS 8 and the latest version of Android, KitKat. Logically experience is very different, but there are some similarities. Let’s take a look at the main points that make up the iOS News 8.iCloud Drive vs. Google Drive
The first service we will talk about is the new iCloud Drive, accommodation Apple’s cloud receiving a facelift and price. iCloud Drive offer the first 5GB free , while for $ 0.99 / month will have 20 GB , and $ 3.99 will get 200 GB.
In comparison Google Drive offers free and 100GB 15GB for $ 1.99 and we 1TB for $ 9.99. A price level could be considered a tie. The two services have extensive synchronization for photos, videos and fully synchronized between devices with Airdrop.
interactive Notifications
iOS 8 will allow us to answer quickly from the notification center . For example if we get a date on a calendar, also works with the locked device.
Android has a similar function in a time , and although the interface and design varies slightly their functions are similar.multitasking Contact List
Another novelty introduced is the ability to see recent contacts list multitasking . This feature is not included in Android. With third-party apps can add something but for now Google does not consider it necessary.
Spotlight / Siri vs Google Now
“Hey Siri” vs “OK, Google.” One of the key movements iOS 8 is not the design as in the previous version, but their service integration functions. Very much in line with what Android has offered for some time.
Spotlight functions have greatly improved, now tend to access apps, Wikipedia information and advice on Siri. Google Search also takes advantage of the search engine to anticipate our requests. 
Spotlight offers trending searches , which Google only available from time to time and not in an integrated manner in their application.
Play music from Spotlight also be done in iOS 8 which incorporates a function Shazam music recognition style . Now Google also has the ability to recognize songs, though a Google service itself is not as integrated with other music players. Something that is a matter of time.
HealthKit
iOS 8 introduces a whole system set up for monitor our physical activity and exercise its co-processor M7 . It is a great addition and a field in that moment Android has not taken off. Some manufacturers such as Samsung, incorporate functions dedicated to health, but are outside of the Google APIs.
The latest move in this regard is the ability of Android to detect if we are walking, running or going on bike, but is far from able to calculate the calories or heart rate as HealthKit yes I will.gestures Mail vs Gmail
Mail, the iOS Mail application incorporates a set of gestures with which we can mark a message or delete it . They may also now drag down the draft order to access other emails.
The Android Gmail app also incorporates several swipe gestures, and although the web client itself has several functions related drafts , the Gmail app is more traditional in that sense.Widgets in notification bar
iOS finally incorporates third-party widgets on your notification center . The style is similar to what we have in Android, but while in our system to various desktop pages are added in iOS be made in the notification bar.
Login since there is slightly faster as it is on Android, although Android while also serving to customize the desktop screen on iOS are hidden at first glance. The size of these is another difference in the Android widgets from toddlers to have to fill the entire screen in iOS is pretty predefined size.
photo editing tools vs Google+ Photos
Apple has always put great care into images. The camera of the iPhone is one of its strengths. Now with iOS 8 new editing tools with which we can change the lighting, brightness, contrast and other incorporated. The native camera also adds things like timer, a feature that was added recently to Google House.
In Android recently have these features thanks to Google+ Photos, with options such as AutoAwesome offers a very interesting for those who love the photos you want to give them a personal touch plus.Share with third party applications
The design of iOS share is very accomplished, and is one of the points at which Google is working. But there is a very important function, compatibility with third-party apps finally added in iOS and that has been a hallmark Android for years.
In our operating system this function is implemented everywhere and is the easiest way to exchange information back and forth. Now iOS users can also enjoy this interconnectivity.
Keyboard predictiveor third
Quicktype is the name given to the text recognition feature that incorporates iOS 8.’s actually achieved and read the text for anticipate the possible responses and difference depending on who you talk . The native Android keyboard also incorporates a prediction method, perhaps not as advanced, which can disable or use gestures.
For those who bet on keyboards like Swiftkey or Swype we have to say that iOS also be used from now. Good news release has shown that native options for them to work with others is a good idea.
iMessage
Now iOS users can send voice messages simply pressing a video button. In hangouts also have the possibility to send these messages, but the interface does not accompany much as in the case of iMessage which also includes synchronization with Mac, which also offers Hangouts.
TouchAPI, Metal Graphics API
In the final part of the conference, Apple has filed several APIs to take advantage of their capabilities. One of the most important is TouchID, which will allow third party apps to use the biometric reader iPhone . In Android, not all devices have a fingerprint reader have not entered an API as well.
Another API is Metal Graphics , which help enhance game developers graphic quality of its titles. Android have a large documentation on working with OpenGL.AppStore with video, packs and betas vs Google Play
Finally got to iOS app stores KitKat 8 and Android 4.4. Apple has introduced several new features to enhance its market . These now have videos apps, something we already have in Android.
option to buy an app that will be available in up to six different devices is also incorporated using the same credit card.
discount packs are also available in apps , something that Google Play currently does not offer. What it does offer Android normally through communities G+ and now Apple also makes apps are betas . True way to enhance the smooth operation of the apps.
With iOS 8 the distance between the two operating systems is reduced and hopefully follow the same direction of opening. A which has Android and iOS scores collected in the best way. Each in his style and the way you do, but mobile technology to follow the same strategies. This has been Apple’s bet during the Google I / O 2014 will see Google’s. What do you think of iOS in August? What Android lacks KitKat they do have
