A Silent War

There is a silent war amongst us. Apple and Android compete for the title of the best smart phone. The two opponents both have fierce App stores that fight to be the best. Apple has its raging iTunes Store while, Android has its furious Play Store. Apple and Android both battle to see who has the higher speed, quality, and compatibility.

Apple is known to be the fastest cellular device to fetch network data, meanwhile Android tries to obtain the same speed as Apple. Apple seems to load an internet page within seconds.
