Android or apple?
| Depends, I guess?
Let's talk about the phones themselves first,
The only strength I see in Android is variations: you have more choice to choose from.
Apple (to an extent, iOS) on the other hand, has you held to Apple and only Apple. If the next iPhone sucks, then you'd have to deal with it until they release a new one. But this does translate to a much unified, tighter, and controlled environment.
| Now on the OS, Android, like I've said before gives you more choice and control. This does mean that apps can behave wildly from one phone to another, but this rarely happen nowadays as more and more guidelines are set.
As for iOS, I can't say much. It looks like that everywhere you go, which makes the experience far more "same-ish", and depending on who you are, it might be great(?)
| The "control" mentioned before also goes deep within the OS itself as well.
For one example, iOS doesn't allow you actually manage your files like a computer. You're sort of limited with the access Apple gives to you. This may be fine if you're not the kind to be interested in having a complicated experience, but for those wanting more "personalized" experience, Android is the way to go, honesty.
| *honestly
| >>82998 this point is the reason i prefer android. i have to deal with lots of receiving and sending and opening files both personally and academically, so i found it easier with my android phone to sort files out than with my old iphone and ipad. but i see lots of people that pick apple either because of the brand or the camera or both, and i guess thats fine. dont really care for the camera since i have a canon cam already lol
| apple is trash
| For me, only apple laptops (Mac) are truly worth the choice
| Apple products are for people who cant think of themselves, or dont want to. It is not necessarily a bad thing, it could ve a sign of a comfortable and problem free upbringing where there were always others to think of solving your problems or take care of them. Usually these people dont know the real value of money and have no problem paying twice the price for equivalent non apple products simply because it has round corners.
| I'd rather get an android over an iPhone because they have better battery life, a lot more third party apps, and customizablilty.

| The iPhone is getting g worse with the update and they made the iPhone X WITCH IS THE WORST THEY EVER MADE pixel can beat iphon tbh

Not sure what kind of basis you're using to judge which iPhone is worse than the other. Blind hatred doesn't justify much, to be honest.
Oh wait, this is /u/, what am I saying. Go on, I think it's justified now.
| yes
| Beside the technological aspects there are also ethical/political/economic ones you should consider.
The technical fact that android is more independent from the device/platform and open-source. Has as big impact on all these aspects. Apple want's to bound custumers on their products and establish some kind of monopoly. They sell very expensive lifestyle/designer products that have in fact the same components and exploitation of humans and environment like most android devices.
| Android. Techies gotta work. Apple is more likely to brick your phone when trying to jailbreak it.
| Apple is probably one of the trickiest company's when its about avoiding paying taxes while using technology that's developed in public institutions that are financed with taxes.
Customers of Apple products do not buy as device in the end, they're just renting it and pay for services around it exclusively at apple-stores. That's what I call corporately ouster.
| Apple is garbage
| Windows.
| ANDROID FOR LIFE B*TCHES
| Android boiz
| Android. Apple slows down your phone every time a new one releases so you feel more obligated to spend money for the upgrade.

While I'm not necessarily defending you nor Apple here, I feel obliged to make corrections here: you don't need to buy a new phone for the safety "underclock" mechanism to disappear. You only need to install a brand new battery (which yes, is hard with an iPhone, but that's besides the point), and the phone will be restored to its original speed.
| True, but the average person who likes apple wants something simple and are not very tech savvy. More than most likely people will go for an upgrade rather than bother tinkering with it themselves
| >>85891
Absolutely, you are correct on that. But it's quite falsifying to say that "Apple *forces* you to upgrade" — as much as it is true (after all, a business wants your money first), a fix is available for it and it does not involve purchasing a new device.
| For apple updates are a nice thing because suppossely they give you more battery but they take efficiency down. It depends in what you want, but Android ftw ktkr
| Android all the way, there a lot of variety in either phones or tablets(which means more range of price, since very cheap phones to really expensive ones), the personalization and in my case, the battery life is pretty good. Also, Chinese brand phones are a pretty strong point, especially if we're talking about Xiaomi
| Apple for me is just good looks for the rich. Android has a variety and is customizable and has a lot of power(full
Features that is already given without root).
| Android - open source.
iOS - closed source.
Security: iOS > Android

| How about neither ubuntu touch all the way!

Ubuntu touch is still alive?
Srsly I don't get it how canonical makes money since most of their projects are failing in the end.
There was/is:
Ubuntu one (cloud service) > died
Unity (Desktop) > died recently
Ubuntu phone (OS) > almost dead?
MIR (display manager) > whyyy? Does it even stand as chance against Wayland?
| Ubuntu touch is alive thanks to the ubuntu comunity they took over the project and they just anounced that ubuntu touch will soon run android apps too!
| I'm an android user myself but it's hard to deny the IOS' intuitiveness. Give someone who never held a smartphone before an iPhone and they'll have a much easier time than if you had handed them a droid
| They do more or less the same thing so if you really don't know which you want I'd look at features and hardware. If you have an idea what you want it should be easy to make a decision based on your own needs and sites that compare hardware like GSM Arena
| Android forever
