One of them is not, its iOS/OSX. But its more or less the same, a software guy would call it a Unices. But Android is in every way, sense and form, a Linux.

iOS is a BSD, so it's a Unix. Android is just a Linux distro.

Technically its not BSD either. It uses parts of it, but it uses a different kernel. Its XNU.
