Apple vs. Android vs. Windows Phones

obsolete is when your battery doesn't hold a charge and you can't replace it.

 

Some Android phones have little if any bloat. And a Nexus phone has none. Lastly, you can root most Android phones to remove any systems apps you don't like.

 

LOL... my work provides me with a cell phone (a GS5). Since it was just updated to Marshallow, I wouldn't consider it an obsolete phone (I don't recall whether the S5 is also on the Nougat list).

 

I've used 3 different IPhone models for work; on 6s now.

For personal use, I've used Androids, Galaxys in the past, now on LG V10.

For me it's Androids hands down. I think IPhones may be a bit more powerful and maybe better battery but I think the Androids are much more customizable and versatile and that's the winner for me.

 

If u ain't got emojis and a blue text screen u ain't gettin none ***** iphone stays winnin

 

It's not that theyre obsolete, it's just that the fractionation (be it a good or bad thing) of Android allows for a vastly greater amount of hardware advancement to be placed in it's more current phones.

In order to upgrade to that kind of hardware in the Apple sphere, you're looking at $800. In order to do that in Android, you're looking at maybe $400.

 

Don't you hate it when there's an Android user in the group text? Makes me not even want to participate. Lol

 

The best phone for me is a Nexus device. I've had one now for about 6 years and haven't had many complaints. It seems like it gets better every year too. Android OS is really evolving pretty nicely. Not sure if I can say the same for iOS. I like the direction MS is going though too.

 

iPhone all the way. Great points others made. I have seen some ppl with s3 and s4. Ridiculous how slow and trash the phone is. Sorry android geeks but I would rather have a phone last.

iPhone is simple. Does the job and I've never had issues.

Android phones I had a million problems from before.

 

Every Android phone I have owned has required too much maintenance to keep it working and perform well. And they were always the top phones available.

There just isn't a better phone than the iPhone if you want consistent and great all-around performance with excellent support and service from the manufacturer. I don't even think that is debatable.

 

This exactly.

Had a top of the line android for years. So slow and complete trash compared to iPhones. There is no better phone than an iPhone. Plus I get close to full value when I trade in my iPhone.

Ill never understand the fascination with "customization" and "personalization" of android phones. Who cares? They're inferior to iPhones in the areas that actually matter for a phone.

But maybe I just think that because I have my laptop or a computer pretty much anywhere I am so my uses for a phone are much less than some other people.

 

I consider the Nexus device to be this and then some. That's just me though.

 

It has its merits and I wont disagree its a better overall finish. Unfortunately its closed ecosystem and its failing attempt to herd its user base in the direction it deems so will be its demise. Apples business model is just too small to keep up with innovation. It took them years to go with a bigger screen. Once they did this, they have not come out with anything of significance. Each new model is a little faster and a little thinner. Apple is too busy trying to bank on the music aspect when that ship sailed a long time ago.

Windows is working on a cross platform system, that if perfected, could cascade down on Android. It doesnt look promise but we shall see.

Samsung is using their vast business model to corner their market shares. Its hard to compete when samsung is giving away smart watches, TV's and VR gear for purchasing their phones.

 

I've had several Nexus phones. Until very recently, they shipped with terrible cameras. There is always a glaring weakness with most Android phones, where you just don't see that in iPhones.

 

Apple users tend to be far more passionate about their phone choice, which is probably why OP was/is surprised at the results being overwhelmingly Android.

For me, it's just a f***ing phone OS; I don't really care. Once Apple starts making $100 phones I'll be interested. Otherwise, I'll stick with the entry level Android phones, which easily handle everything I need in a smart phone (though I do wish the camera was better, just not enough to pay significantly more).
