Compared with iOS system, Harmony system has the following main differences:
- Device compatibility: As a "distributed" operating system, HarmonyOS can be applied to run on a variety of devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart watches, smart TVs and car entertainment systems. iOS is more focused on Apple's own devices, such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
- Openness: The Harmony system adopts an open source model, allowing developers to customize development according to their own needs, and provides an open application store for developers to freely publish and distribute applications. In contrast, iOS, as a closed operating system, only allows apps to be downloaded and installed through the App Store.
- System architecture: The distributed architecture of Harmony System allows computing and resources of different devices to be shared to achieve smoother cross-device collaboration, enabling users to seamlessly switch between multiple devices and enjoy a better integrated experience. iOS doesn't have a similar distributed architecture.
- Communication technology: Hongmeng system can better use 5G communication technology, through 5G fast and high-quality communication, so that all smart devices run with high performance.
- Adaptability: The Harmony system is compatible with all Android applications, but iOS does not. In addition, many games and applications will distinguish between iOS and Android servers, but this will not happen in the Harmony system.
In summary, the Harmony system is superior to the iOS system in terms of device compatibility, openness and ecosystem, system architecture, communication technology, and adaptability.
