Abstract
An operating system is a code that interfaces with the end-user and executes the end-user or applications` commands on their behalf. Conventionally, operating systems were used in desktop computers to facilitate end-users. During the past few years, tremendous advancements have been made in the domain of mobile operating systems. Many operating systems have evolved, such as Android, iOS, SymbianOS, Firefox OS, etc. This paper discusses Android and IOS operating systems. The paper provides quantitative comparisons between them based on a comprehensive survey. The paper analyzes the data using association rules mining and k-mode clustering. It was found that the user interface of the phone heavily influences the satisfaction and adoption of a mobile phone.
