Research Paper: Android vs. Apple; The Popular Choice As “Engineers” we solve various problems that we come across, and one day, Mr. Yarn was describing a problem that he had. He told me how he disliked the fact that he receives a voicemail from other people and that sometimes he has to reiterate that same voicemail to another person. He tells me that it’s an extremely tedious task at times and that he wishes there were an easier way to handle this. When he said these last words, we both had the same exact idea; “Let’s create an app!” My mentor, Skip Yarn, and I will be creating, designing, and programming a mobile application that will allow for the user to take a voicemail message and forward/email that message in its entirety to another mobile user or multiple users if they wish to do so. The app will be drafted , designed and then programmed. After that, Mr. Yarn and I will field test it until it is fully functional then have it published. The app will have to be placed somewhere, ideally, on the Android or Apple app markets, or both. The general idea however is that if an app is created with dual accessibility, this problem will solve itself; “Is it possible to create and publish an app that will operate and function equally on an iPhone and Android device?” What I have decided for my research is to create an app, an app that will need to be published on specific mobile devices. I have chosen to focus my attention on Android and Apple devices because the two are very similar, yet extremely different. When a consumer looks at an
Android phone and an iPhone and compares them, they can see how different they appear but not how they function. And also, the more important question that many people, one’s who opinion is not biased, would like to know which company is better in overall service. This question is highly important when it comes down to what the consumer will
