Android because there is so much more you can do and stock android looks so much better than iOS. You just need to get a good manufacturer and model because there are soooo many for android from all around the world – so there is more choice but when it comes to apple its ‘pay a fortune’ or ‘pay a fortune’.
also apple’s ‘pro’ stands for People Ready to Overpay
Apple is is much better then android but android is customisable by a lot so i don’t know at this point
I prefer Android. I like how customizable it is and how well Android devices work with everything I already have. With iOS and Apple products, they were really only designed to work well with each other, and I don’t feel comfortable buying too much into the Apple ecosystem, knowing that once I’m in, it’ll just be too expensive to leave since Apple products weren’t designed to work well with non-apple stuff.
I started on Apple and was a huge Apple user both at work and at home, but Apple lost the plot and became very controlling and restrictive. If you’ve money to burn then Apple is good, but if you haven’t then Android is a much cheaper option, with far more cutting edge features too.
Of course, Blackberry rules over Apple & Android, but it’s so elitist that is doesn’t even sell to the Hoi Polloi anymore, only the Illuminati are given working models.
I feel like people got a bad taste of android when it first came out so they hate it now but it really has advanced.
It’s too bad android takes up to much ram and the phones that use android are barely supported after 3 years
Personally I like iOS as the devices are supported longer and it’s simple to use.
The only problem with iOS is limited customization and the os holding back the amazing hardware.
I use an android because I think that the pros in android are what I’m looking for in my devices.
Imo – android pros – Customisation, Sideloading of apps, Price, Options (not just a variety of devices but also options inside the android software like the capability to root and flash custom ROMs as you like and capability to upgrade your camera performance by simply getting a gcam on a cheap mobile), some apps that you can’t have on ios period (because they were never made for ios – many of which I use and simply can’t do without). Many hardware related stuff that apple is simply faring behind – I use a device with no notch which costs a third of iPhone, I don’t care about the selfie camera because I don’t take so many pictures, but there isn’t an iPhone currently with no notch display.
iOS pros – clean and stable os, “it just works” feature – AirPods for all the hate for their price really do work so well same for apple watch, if you are in apple ecosystem by choice or by the situation (like in the music industry, or use software like final cut) then ios is just a no brainer due to seamless integration, apple store has many many more apps than google play store, also some apps are better made in ios imo – the UI and functionality is just more smooth, also if you like flexing then apparently this is the way to go
I like the inovation of android but apple seems more likely to be protected from a virus.. except when apple releases a virus to every phone but their newest model.
BlackBerry
… but apart from that… Linux.
Ah, I used to like iOS until they did 3000 little things I didn’t like (made the passcode buttons tiny circles instead of squares, trick and nag you into updating, stopped making smaller phones).
Android would be okay if it wasn’t owed by Google. Trust them the least with privacy.
If I had to choose, I’d probably pick one of those Android builds with all the Google tracking taken out.
I am pretty happy with my BlackBerry Classic though. It is my main-phone and doesn’t work with most apps, so doesn’t distract you. If only funkytime.tv loaded a little better on it!
