Apple Or Android.

[thisisben]

There seems to be a mini rivalry, the people who hate apple are lovers of android , or the people who love android hate apple

I have an iPhone and most my family have Android

At first i used to say I hate android but it isnt too bad tbh , i feel a tad conned out of money buying an iphone .....

What about you ,

Apple Or Android ?

[ReginaGeorge]

I prefer Android, but I don't hate Apple. It's just when you buy Apple, it seems so complicated. I had a little iPod and it was hell to figure out and have up and went back to using my phone at the time. When you have one Apple thing, you have to have another, even if it's just iTunes. Android doesn't need that, it's easy and is compatible with, like, everything.

Yeah fair enough , im going to get an android phone in the summer , what annoys me though is that soooo many young people in england has one , i dont know elsewhere but like it seems to young people , they might think their 'cool' to say they own an iphone :what:

[Steve Jobs]

I've just switch camps. Yes, iPhones aren't cheap but unless you're clumsy enough to crack them, they're great phones :)

[thisisben]

I've just switch camps. Yes, iPhones aren't cheap but unless you're clumsy enough to crack them, they're great phones :)

Yeah , I already had an Ipod so i got used to them quick lol , and Ive dropped mine quite alot of times , so its quite lucky its not cracked , but got lots of scratches :P

[Steve Jobs]

My screen protector is scratched pretty badly but beneath it lies a brand new iPhone :P

[thisisben]

I should get another screen protector lol , what iphone do you have ?

[MrDaniel2K13]

I never had an Android product and I have an Ipod so I guess i'll say I prefer Apple

[Rayquaza]

mini rivalry is an understatement.

Personally I prefer Android. They seem to have come up with more innovative ideas. Apple was like this but when Steve Jobs died it seemed that Apple were too scared to come up with something original so they just improved what they had before. I mean, Face Unlock and Android Beam are two of my favourite features. Android feels more customizable and I'm not locked into using JUST iTunes and the App store.

[villain]

I have an Android but I don't know.. I can't really fight for either side since I never owned an Apple Product. But I can really distinguish the differences between the two. They both seem great.

[Harley Quinn]

I have an android, I much prefer it to Apple. The only Apple product I have is an iPod, I wouldn't get the phone, it's not because I don't like, it's that there's so much more you can do with an android.

[NeuroTiger]

I have an android phone
And I'm using an iPad for VT.
I like both.

[abot27]

I have Samsung galaxy s3. Great phone!

[MickeyMouse13]

I'm had an android, and thought it was good, but then I got an iPhone and it was incomparable to the android!! ... I know peoplensay that they break Easily but I've dropped it down stairs, on concrete, and out of a car and it isn't scratched !!!! This sounds sad but I love my iPhone like a baby !!! :) lol

[Stronger]

I have an Android phone but also have a iPod Touch & an iPad Mini and I love all three.

[billiam183]

I have the gs3. I live the screen size and features. Before I got this I was thinking about going apple. They do feel and look nice, but your so limited with them. And now that I have the gs3, the iphone seems ridiculously small! Advice if your getting the gs3. If your not a careful person, or even if you are as accidents happen, get a good case. I dropped my phone for the FIRST time with a cheap case on, and it cracked! Its extremely small and unseen with my otterbox on. But non the less devastating. If your clumsy, maybe not the phone for you, but id still go android!

[Skyline]

Out of the two... Android... But I really prefer Windows.

[Leon03]

Android here

[Bigdon]

I Prefer Apple. I had a first gen ipad, and loved it. I sold it last year, and now I have a Kindle which is Android I think, I also have another Android tablet. They are great, but the app store sucks (its Amazon apps for both), which that is why I prefer Apple for their app store, but Apple is so expensive.

[simplycomplicated]

Android here. I had an Iphone (2.0) and it wasn't so great. Now I have galaxy s2 and it's much better. :)

[thisisben]

thats why i usually use the free apps lol , the only time i had paid apps was when i got a £15 itunes card thing lol

[CharlieHorse]

I have used both personally for a couple years, and in doing so, I have found that android is the winner here BY FAR. I find most of the people who "prefer" ios and iPhones, haven't even used any Android device for comparison!
IPhones used to be the only good smartphones, but now, we have companies like Samsung, Motorola, HTC, and Google's Nexus that have phones and tablets that are just as good as or better than what apple has. If people would realize this, then the world can evolve from the simple iPhones and we'd all become a more advanced society.

[TigerBoy]

Android. I've had two HTC phones (on a Desire 2 currently) and I love them. I've done the usual rivalry thing with my best friend when he had an iPhone (which got nicked), and as of Christmas he's now got an HTC running Android :P

[Danny_boi 16]

I hate apple I love android. I have a droid but my mom and brother have iphones.

[PinkFloyd]

Even though I spend a lot of time on my Ipod Touch and my MacBook... I'm gonna side with android. They make a wide variety of phones with really cool features that the Iphone doesn't. They also have a nicer and bigger screen. They also have more carriers. Iphone only has ATNT, Verizon, sprint, and one more that I can't think of at the moment. Android has EVERY carrier there is. Oh and their internet is way faster as well.

[BrassMonkey]

Well since I got an Android, Its Android all the way for me! Apple products are pretty cool and advanced, but they are really expensive. Plus, hearing things about iPhones and Androids, I lean more towards Androids.

[AkuRokuStalker]

I found my Iphone 4g brand new for $135 with shipping and taxes. I do not feel ripped off at all. I am very happy with the iphones, but I have never had an adroid.

[Imac350]

I love Apple and Hate Android- Switched to iOS after two years of Android.

[thisisben]

I guess it can switch , like the person above went from an android and went to apple , and im the opposite I have an apple product and going to an android.

[Matt_is_Awesome]

I have a Android Nexus phone and trust me Google's Nexus 4 is INCREDIBLEEEEE
so Android all the way

[frankie97]

I would like definitely say Android. You can do a lot more with an Android like Samsung Galaxy s 3 then an I phone. Although I phones are easier to work in terms of the operating systems. Android just is more advanced feature wise.

[thisisben]

I have a Android Nexus phone and trust me Google's Nexus 4 is INCREDIBLEEEEE
so Android all the way

would you say that theyre better than a samsung galaxy s3 ?

[thisisben]

by the way , i was just wondering because i need to make my mind up whether to switch to android but , one plus with Apple is the 3g sometimes when i have no signal , i switch on the 3g and get a bar or something , and the internet works anywhere, does android have anything like this ?

[Matt_is_Awesome]

i would say but Galaxy s 3 is more for the non nerds so if your a tech nerd then a Nexus is for you but if you a normal consumer than GS3 both are extreamly nice but if you want timely android update always the latest version of android than get the nexus. But they are both really good phones, cant go wrong with any of them.

[pokofish]

both i like and have both

[Twilly F. Sniper]

I have a 3GS, it's a piece of shit. Android easily. Although they do break themselves occasionally. Like my s2 did.

[Rascaldog24]

I've had apple and android devices and over all I prefer apple. I like how easy it is to operate.

[thisisben]

android wins then :P

[CharlieHorse]

would you say that theyre better than a samsung galaxy s3 ?

I say s3 is better. The N4 is just... well... too plain! :p. The s3 has some extra great features that make it fun to use :p

[Skyline]

Windows... Nuff said.

[CharlieHorse]

Windows... Nuff said.

Breaking glass...
Nuff said :p

[gone123]

Android definitely. I prefer it because Android is way more customizable and has many more features, I also hate Apple's "business practices" of suing anything and everything that competes with them, and all their products are incredibly overpriced with outdated hardware.

[Pierce]

I have a galaxy s3 but wish I could play iTunes on it. Why can't we all just get along!!!?

[CharlieHorse]

I have a galaxy s3 but wish I could play iTunes on it. Why can't we all just get along!!!?

I know right? :sends pics to him via sbeam cuz we're cool like that:

[Iron Man]

I use both: Android for my cell phone, and Apple for my iPod. I'm somewhat neutral, but I lean towards Android, because I like the customization options that come with it.

[Pierce]

I know right? :sends pics to him via sbeam cuz we're cool like that:

lol. They make it look so cool in the commercial, but then you go to school and find out that everyone you know has an iphone5..... or just the people you like lol.

[CharlieHorse]

Makes no sense. It should be "the people who hate apple are lovers of android, or the people who hate android love apple" you basically said "if you hate apple then you love android, if you love android then you hate apple".

Apple is the best.

[CharlieHorse]

Apple is the best.

I disagree STRONGLY.
Like... a lot!
They USED TO be the best.
They've fallen behind. And they're stuck in a pit, resorting to stealing ideas and following other trends that are becoming popular such as 7in tablets, larger phone screens (even though the ip5 is still a tiny annoying screen), in ear earbuds, map interfaces, etc.

I could save apple.

Well, Samsung stole Apples Siri, they look almost exactly the same. And Apple still is better than every other brand out there. Most people would rather have an iPad then a Samsung tablet.

First of all, I wasn't just talking about Samsung... android is huge compared to ios in terms of companies, phones, other devices, and international users.
1. Samsung nor apple were the first to use voice assistants.
2. "Better" is an opinion. No facts = invalid statement
3. "Most people" contained no statistics. And it is actually false in the sense that there are in fact more purchased android running phones worldwide than there are ios phones.

[Axw_JD]

Apple (iOS) would still be the consistently better option versus the crappy Android.

Why? Simple: Unified platform. Every single App in the store is guaranteed to work, out of the box, on your device. On android, you not only might not have access to the whole store selection, theres still a pretty high chance that the stuff there won't properly work on your device for reasons unknown to most users.

But regardless, they are both little more than toys. Android is just a piece of crap that can be used as a toy sometimes, while iOS is a toy that can be used for some serious work from time to time.

You sound like a common apple person, who has never really tried an android phone practically, like a galaxy s3, or a nexus 4.
I'd write a colossal essay as to say why android is better, but I'm just getting tired of it. I'd have you know that I used ios for years until I switched to android last year. I have never made a smarter choice before in my life. Android, and it's extremely flexible, non-proprietary interface is SO USEFUL when it comes to collaboration with multiple users for business, school, or even just daily communication.
The phones themselves? Massive powerful processors, large BEAUTIFUL led screens, perfect function of hardware, (I could go on forever).
There's just SO much that iPhones lack that is sad. They're not the "newest" best technology that apple says they are.

I like android. I LOVE my galaxy s3. My friends with iPhones are jealous, and it's funny :p.

...
..
.
Either way, it's just a phone. They are relatively the same thing. So:5102


Hahaha this is funny tho ^ :D

[Axw_JD]

Massive powerful processors: Yes, because android needs all that processing power to run its bloat. Have you noticed how Windows Phone and even iOS runs much smoother with a lot less processing power?

And you are basing your opinion of android entirely on your personal experience with the S3, which btw is not even completely vanilla android and is actually tweaked by Samsung, along with being the most powerful android phone. Please don't tell me you also have it rooted because then your point is completely void: you are agreeing to android being crap by needing third party, low-level fiddling for it to work properly.

Oh, did I mention the markup on that phone is also higher than the iPhone 5? Meaning you paid a lot more than what the phone costs to manufacture, a lot more even by Apple standards.

And the biggest downside of the android crap is simply the fact that google is behind it and unless you are a blind fanboy, or have been living under a rock for the last couple years, google should be the last company you should trust any personal information to. Have you seen the countless anti-trust, security, user privacy, etc. investigations and fines that google has been going through? And lets not forget their anti-competitive practices of the last couple weeks too...

1: Android phones have the ability to do a lot more, and so you use it more. For example. I have the ability to keep a good full gigabyte of stuff running in the foreground, such as a game, about a hundred Widgets on desktop, updating news, etc.
It allows me to multitask much more efficiently without the system slowing down. Apple's processors can't handle what I do with a phone. Which is why .I switched, and why I haven't gone back.
Also, I like snappy response, so I like having the simple ability to scale animation durations. I agree ios feels smooth, but it also feels slow due to draggy animations. :p

2: I have 3 android devices. Gs3, nexus 7, and galaxy nexus. I have used about 30 other different devices as well.
I have used vanilla android 4.1-4.2 more than anything else. And I am VERY aware of what Samsung has done with their modified interfaces.

3: Contracts bro. Same deal either way.
Plus mines cheaper to replace if It breaks. Don't go off and argue about how one is stronger than the other. They're about the same.

Plus, Google (googol) is a big number
Androids are robots and they're smart.and robotic
Apples taste like shit IMO.
And ios is a complexicated acronym.

It's obvious
Android is better.
But then again, apple pie isn't that bad...

Lighten up dude :D
We clearly have our differences. Lets just accept it and hug! :hugs:
Who needs phones and tablets anyway, all we need is love :)

[Axw_JD]

Its pretty clear you have no freaking clue about how CPUs or Operating Systems actually work so we will leave it at that... keep living in your fantasy world.

[CharlieHorse]

Its pretty clear you have no freaking clue about how CPUs or Operating Systems actually work so we will leave it at that... keep living in your fantasy world.

Please don't insult me. I'm actually pretty knowledgeable on the subject of how computers work... I'm just tired, and I don't want to argue anymore. I honestly don't really care which one is better. All i really care about is that my phone is big, and it has a big screen, because I have big hands. It works fine for me.
Like I said before, (the picture).
I like my gs3 and I'm happy. You like your (iphone 5 I'm assuming) and you're happy too. It's all good! Im changing viewpoints a little, why is there a rivalry anyway?

[CharlieHorse]

I'm done. Both are good. But talking to real people and sending real letters is better than both.

[Axw_JD]

Neither, I use the better option: a Nokia Windows Phone.

I do use Android (a heavily modified version on my Kindle Fire) and even then its just awful. But even though I don't own any iOS products, I do have first hand (dev) experience on them as well as insight into their OS and know how much better the ecosystem is from the Android ecosystem.

[Bryce51]

Definitely Android!

I'd be really interested to hear you explain the specifics about how the OS of one is better than the other, and how these benefit consumers.

[ackmedsgirl666]

android..
i am currently an iphone user and all i gotta say is i am fed up with apple and all their updates and firmwares and shit and i hate itunes.....

im trying to trade my iphone for an android.... i like them better because half the apps you have to pay for in itunes is free in the playstore on android

[Abnormal]

Lately I have been having A LOT of problems with my Android phone and with the iPhone 5 just having come out, I think I might take this chance to see what the fuss about Apple is all about...

[Lost in the Echo]

Apple. Both are overrated though.

[stev]

BlackBerry FTW win but I guess out of the 2 I'd go with Android.

[Bryce51]

BlackBerry FTW win but I guess out of the 2 I'd go with Android.

FTW win? Haha

[stev]

FTW win? Haha


Lol I didn't notice :$ Looks like I just really want them to win...

[thisisben]

Apple. Both are overrated though.

I do agree they are both very overrated , thats why i might get a phone that nobody really has anymore !

[Mob Boss]

http://sm.jcink.com/phone/BAs/bootanimation-android_peeing.gif
Suck it, Apple. :yeah:

[stev]

I personally couldn't use either one. None of them fit my needs so I just a blackberry....

[Kriss41]

I have a friend with the iPhone, and my parents have Galaxy s3 phones.
I personally have gotten to use both. I like the features on the Galaxy a little better. But Apple's iPhones are pretty good too.
My friend is switching over to Android though. He doesn't like the iPhone 4 at all. He says, and I quote "It pissed me off. It's a useless piece of junk that could have been SO much better." So... I'll stick with Android. :3

[Human]

not sure if i've posted, but i'll say apple despite the fact i find them overpriced for what you get.

[Austin2]

Apple

[CBS_Dude]

Apples best

[volleyball172]

i like apple. used to have android but i had so many issues with my phones so i was done with that!

[Dooby the potato god]

I don't know what Androids are like, but I'm used to iPhones now.

[somegirl]

I bought a Nexus 4 yesterday. I'm seriously thinking of canceling my AT&T iPhone service.
My speeds on T-Mobile blow the AT&T speeds out of the water.

[Greg1994]

Apple for sure. I had 4 different types of android phones, hated them all. The incredible 2 was the only one that was at least bearable to use..

[Joseph69]

I own a Mac, iPad and iPhone and have owned other Apple devices in the past. It's probably fair to say I prefer Apple :P

From what I've seen and heard, Android and iPhone both have their pros and cons, but I'll stick with Apple for now at least.

[conner74]

Apple

[Collegeguy12]

Apple for sure. I had WAY too many problems with my Droid, plus it ran through my data way faster.

[nutjob]

I like Apple better then Android.

[Infidelitas]

Both of the operating systems have things that I like and things that I don't like.
I have an iPhone right now, but I think my next phone will be an android.

[xmojox]

I'm a happy 'droid.

[Cook my Sock]

I personally like android because it's so much more customizable, I can customize my phone to suit my style.

[lyhom]

I really can only say Apple because I only own an iPod Touch, but I wouldn't be complaining if I had to use Android.

I'm only really saying Apple because I'm just so much more used to it.

[Manjusri]

Apple all the way, for a couple of reasons. The user interface is great and really efficient, it's simplistic so that you don't get cluttered with too many options like androids can. I've recently had to switch over to an android because my iphone broke. Now i'm stuck with a galaxy s2 and i hate it. It's really customizable sure, but the app market is horrible, i use way more data because of all the background tasks, and the battery life sucks.

[CharlieHorse]

I really can only say Apple because I only own an iPod Touch, but I wouldn't be complaining if I had to use Android.

now THIS is a great answer! :D
__
I'm an android user. I used to be an ios user, but then after trying a Nexus 7 tablet, i fell in love with it, and i'm now a happy Samsung Galaxy S3 owner! :D

[Cygnus]

Ever since Steve Jobs died apple has been declining, so I have to side with Android for it has freedom when it comes to modding and it has emulators of many old consoles.

[nfs4394]

I actually like a lot of the things that Apple does with their products, but it's a hard sell when Android phones can do pretty much the exact same things at a price point that is $50 lower, or more

[AbbaZabba]

Apple here

[Professional Russian]

I love my droid if thats what your asking. :P

[Jose Mendoza]

apple, no comparation

[Mister_Fantastic]

I like android a lot more than i do apple. Apple is like shaving with a bowling pin...its just plain out dumb as f*ck. I do like to think that it was ok at first though, but then it just went to complete sh*t

[Buck]

Apple!

[CastigateMe]

Personally, I prefer Apple since I grew up with it, but I'm not strongly opposed to Android.

[MediaJordan]

I prefer apple because I have a few of their products and they work well together, however i'm getting bored of my iphone and would probably go with a samsung android phone on my upgrade unless I get bullied into the new iphone because of iCloud.

[Arsenalfan123]

Had an iPod then HTC broke Sony xperia p bad getting iPhone android might just have bad experiances but no

[CourtneyBabe]

apppple

[Aves]

Apple. I'm not a programmer and I'm not too concerned with being able to completely customize my phone or tablet. The simplicity of the iProducts makes me prefer them over Android. Also, as someone noted, they work well together.

[HahaWaitWhat]

Bit of a tough choice. I like all of the customizing options you have with an Android without modifying the software and I love the range of phones that you can choose from. The iPhone is fairly nice too, but it'd be a lot nicer if I didn't have to worry about the new screen size that would be coming out in five months.

[Rainbowfairy]

Apple

[CharlieHorse]

Android hands down

[NzForever]

Apple for there products, but I had apple

[Mayon]

I personally have an apple device because of the large amount of apps that are useful to me, I have jail-broken it to give me more freedom and a few more nice apps that you couldn't normally get on an iPhone (Command Lines etc). Whilst Android devices are very good, I would prefer an iPhone, but when it comes to desktops, PC's all the way!

[ItsJustJack]

I love the things you can do with android such as rooting but apple products are just so classy

[Hunter_Steel]

I prefer Android. Everything is so easy to work with. The OS is also very nice. I just love everything about it.

Apple products are over priced. You can get a phone that can do just as much for almost half the price. (Samsung Galaxy S4)

~Hunter

[ryan17]

apple for sure.

[Sackboy]

I prefer android.

[JRwulf64]

Um obviously apple. Better build quality and ease of use is incredible. Its the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity.

[Collins1]

99.9% apple for me

[Pacaveli]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is running the newest Android version. I prefer Android. I have only used an iPhone for 15 minutes, and I have an iPod, which is nothing compared to an Android system. Honestly, in my opinion, I think Apple is overrated and the only people that buy them have money.

[Joseph69]

Love Apple, hate android
(Hate it so much, it doesn't even get a capital letter)

[thisisben]

Love Apple, hate android
(Hate it so much, it doesn't even get a capital letter)

what is the reason you hate android so much?

[Yugen]

Apple because all of my androids have bricked when updating.

[Croconaw]

Android, obviously.

[Cognizant]

I've been using iOS since 2007, and I'm used to it. I don't mind Android (I have an Android phone and I can see why it's popular), but I am just used to the layout of iOS and it does what I need. For me, I don't need a shit tonne of customization as long as I can use my apps with no problem.

It's a bit like cars for me. Sure I can appreciate heavily modified trucks, but I don't appreciate the assholes that act like "if you're not driving this bitch you're a pussy."
The same applies for Apple/Android users.

[BlueEyedFloridian]

I'm a iphone fan all the way. However I have had thoughts of getting an android because even though the iphone 5 screen is bigger I want an even bigger like a galaxy screen maybe when the note 3 comes out

[sean_james]

For a few years I've had an iPod touch and recently an ipad but still an old android phone. It was slow, looked ridiculous (so thick), and was covered in scratches (obviously my own fault there!); I was definitely an apple fan because my old htc really made my apple stuff shine.
However recently I bought a samsung gs4 and it's fantastic! It can do everything the iPhone can't and more. I've never realised how restrictive apple are on their products. I'd say a decent android phone is really worth it but just don't judge android on the cheap ones as they don't give a real view on what android is all about.

[Plasma]

Android!

[Abyssal Echo]

Android !

Android considering I Have a Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Nexus 4 Haha I love stock pure Android 4.3 yeah that's right 4.3 came out the other day OTA for Nexus Devices lol

Android, since I'm more used to that

[CuriousGlasweigan]

Android, I currently have the GS4 and loving it!

Apple. I've never gotten a virus or had any issue with my OS since I got my phone (June 2012). Some of my friends have had to buy new phones because they got a virus somehow. Plus, my phone fits in my pocket, and I don't need to stand 5 feet away just to use my phone. Also, when my school does random searches, my phone is a lot less noticeable (even though I have a lime green rubber case) than these phones with a 5" display. I feel that when Apple (even though they do borrow ideas) rolls out their major iOS upgrade, it's usually done a lot better than in Android (with the exception of Apple Maps, that was just horrible), where you get like 5 a year in Android it seems. Plus, iOS isn't tweaked by any specific manufacturer to get it the way they want it. Unless you've jailbroken your device, you get the full iOS experience as the Dev team meant for you to get it.

Android

the people who hate apple are lovers of android , or the people who love android hate apple

2 times the same!
I have a samsung tab and an ipad
i also have a htc chacha and an iphone 4S

on the tablet side android is better becaus you can hack it more easy and do more with it. Android is made to be hacked!

for phones is an iphone the best choice because it is stable and does better on power consumption

Android.

apple all day every day it is the only way to go

[CharlieHorse]

I find that a good chunk of apple users have never even tried using a modern android device, yet continue to think they suck based on what they were a couple years ago.

[thisisben]

all in all it's highly 50/50

[Camazotz]

Android 4 lyf

[unknownuser]

I've only owned a sucky iPhone 3G, but my next phone will be an Android, so I guess I'll see which I prefer...

[Sarah 2000]

Android by far for me

[roadwarrior]

Android for me

[pieman10]

Android by far.
Apple is overpriced and their software is especially lacking.
Jelly bean teamed with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 can blow any idevice out of the water.
Most apple fanboys havent even tried android, and I used to own a 3gs!
Suck it apple!

[CuriousGlasweigan]

Until Apple can run apps such as Utorrent then I will always prefer Android.

[Suave]

I love both, I just switched to android (Galaxy s4) a couple weeks ago and I like it. My only problem is the keyboard but I sure I'll get used to it.

My view/way of choosing

Android
-WAY more customizable/ Personalization
-More complex
-Better for tech savvy people
-Viruses

Ios
-simple
-easy to learn
-less viruses
-better apps
-less customizable

[CharlieHorse]

Android
-Viruses


I've been on android for a while. I've never had a virus because I have an app called Lookout that scans everything I download in the background. It works flawlessly.
My dad had a bug on his iPhone 4. He had to do a factory reset.

[Stronk Serb]

Apple is just too expensive. I got nothing against it, but I prefer Android.

[Luis303]

Love my iPhone some features on android look cool but not enough to convert me :)

[CharlieHorse]

Obviously apple. Is that even a question? #teamiphone

It's a very strong question when you throw in the the newest Android devices.

Sorry, but apple is far behind. They're going down.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

Android. Apples stuff is simply terrible.

[Croconaw]

Android is way better!

[wizzz]

Android, Apples pruducts are terrible when it comes to the firmware and overpriced is what it is also. Also iOS is so locked down.

[Hermes]

I, personally, have an Android but I know people who have iPhones. Looking back at the history of the two I think Apple definitely had a lead at the start but then they sat on their Laurels.

Apple also have a view that its their job to make the choices and the customer's job to part with their money. Many of the choices Apple make are good ones but I think they lost ground for a while when the open marketplace in Android enabled different manufacturers to produce phones of different shapes and sizes and from cheap and cheerful to premium. Apple did eventually relent and offer a choice of sizes.

So, now I think it's swings and roundabouts. Apple seem to be better at protecting your privacy. For a start they are not a company that makes their money from harvesting your data but then they are also better at security updates etc. On the other hand you pay for that because their products are expensive and they are designed so you then buy other Apple products to go with them, i.e. they lock you in. It's hard to use an Android phone effectively without Google getting to know an awful lot about you but then you have a choice from cheap to expensive and they tend to work well with other things.

Apple!!

[Liven]

I use iPhone because the entire family is in the walled garden. I typically like Android due to the development opportunities it provides - it's a relatively open platform.

[Uniquemind]

iPhone for me, but mostly for the following 4 reasons:

1. Apple’s policy of privacy of your data and privacy and security

2. Apple’s app ecosystem being very app rich for various things.

3. Independent news reports that some android vendors say they are up to date on “update security patches” for the lastest threats, but when analysts looked it was a lie and customers had a false sense of security allegedly.

4. Most of my family has iPhone.

5. iMessage is convenient and works in low cellular strength areas, especially for emergency communication.
