iOS vs Android vs Windows Phone

Hello, everyone! This is my first blog. I am going to compare Android, iOS and Windows Phone. iOS is from Apple, Android is from Google, and Windows Phone is from Microsoft. You probably already know this.What's cool about Android's home screen is that you can add widgets.

With Apple's recent iOS update, iOS 8, you can add widgets to the notification center. 
The notification center, which has been around in iOS since iOS 5, was also in Android and Blackberry.

iOS's home screen is quite simple. All your apps are on the home screen. The icons are shaped like curved squares.

Now the Windows Phone does not not have a Notification center, does not have widgets, but it does have live tiles like Windows  8 does.

Moving on to the lock screen, 

Here's what the Windows Phone's lock screen looks like. To unlock the screen you swipe the screen upward with your finger.

The iPhone's lock screen is quite similar to the Windows Phone's lock screen. Well, it is to me.

If you have a notification while your screen is locked, the lock screen will appear showing the notification on the lock screen. You can swipe to the right on the notification to open the app it refers to.


Here's how Android notifications appear on the home screen:


iOS home screen notification:


Google, Apple, and Microsoft have a cloud storage service and you may use them on your Android, Windows, or iOS device.
Microsoft: OneDrive
Apple: iCloud
Google: Google Drive (Very Creative)

Android, iOS, Windows Phone have an app store where you can download apps.
Android: Google Play, you can download music via Google Play.
iOS: App Store (Very Creative, Apple)


The Windows Phone has the Windows Store.


You download music on an iDevice with the itunes store.

This isn't everything that's different. I know there's more. Here is some more information. Photo references coming soon. (Warning: Wikipedia may have some incorrect information. If you don't like Wikipedia, you can just Google it. Or search for it with whatever search engine you use.)
