Android or iPhone?

[itsannalee]

What do you prefer, android or iPhone? And why?

[CrazyGirl2]

Oh definitely iPhone all the way! I love how everything just works together seamlessly, without the need to do anything! If I take a picture on my iPhone, that picture is automatically on my iPad, and my MacBook Pro as well. There’s no need to open a browser and go to some google cloud acct, to find my pics, they’re just there! Also, I love the way an iPhone, or any Apple device just works with a new set of Bluetooth iPods, or other ear-pods, or even my Beats Studio Pro headphones, you just literally open the storage case, or turn them on and they are immediately recognized and just work, without going into the settings and selecting the headphones or ear buds you wanna use. Also everything is encrypted! I like my privacy, and I don’t like companies selling my info! Google is the absolute worst company ever when it comes to respecting their customer’s privacy. They are literally an ad agency disguised as a search engine and social media site. Google will just hand a persons’s data to any law enforcement agency that simply asks! Apple, on the other hand, will not only require a subpoena, but they’ll fight the subpoena in court on the users behalf! The only benefit I saw with Android was the use of USB-C. I didn't mind the Lightning connector, but I HATED the fact that my broke friend’s only needed ONE cable to charge everything, whereas I needed two (at least) Fckn’ Micro-USB 🖕🏻! However, Apple has switched to USB-C now (thanks to Europe suing them). So it just makes sense to keep with iPhone.

I do have an Android, that I use for emergencies, or whenever I’m selling anything, because when I sold my old MacBook, every guy who came to look at it began texting or calling me to ask me out! (Seriously, I mean literally EVERY fckn guy!) So now I use my emergency phone to sell anything, and then just shut it off, and put it back in my Jeep’s center console! I hate it, it sucks, and I would never want to be stuck using an Android phone as my only phone. (Oh, and b4 anyone get’s any wrongheaded ideas, yes my fiancé has the phone’s password, and he uses it more than I do, because he sells literally everything he doesn't use anymore! I’ve never once know him to donate or throw anything away!). I just do not like Android phones.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the MHO.

I love how you can program iPhones to do just about everything but make you breakfast. They're pricey, but if that turns your crank, then who cares?

Android. I have to get real work done with my phone, and it amazes me how often my customers' iPhones can't do something - or if they can, it's some tedious work-around. Many iPhone tech apps lack features of the Android app because Apple doesn't make certain programming APIs available to their developers. It's maddening - but only to those who have experienced something better.

Most iPhone users seem to think that Apple developed everything, and that iPhones have the latest technology, but the truth is that Apple is routinely years behind, and they'll release a new feature that people get excited about that I've had since 2012 on Android, and I just have to laugh.

Android. Cheaper, more choices available. You can configure and service it yourself; an iPhone requires you go to Apple and pay them a ridiculous fee.

There's a reason why Android dominates the world smartphone market, with 72% of all phones, compared to iPhone's 16%.

[Likes2drive]

iPhone, compatible with most other devices to pair up with and I’m used to it

[backdoorman]

I've only ever had an iPhone because my employer buys my phones and pays for my service, and they insist on iPhone because I have access to patient information from my phone and iPhone security is supposedly better than droid.

Having said that, based on what I know from casual comparisons with friends, many of whom have droids, I think I would probably prefer a droid if I had my choice.

[Nikki1989]

Whatever work gives me. I really couldn't care less about phones. I had a iPhone once, I gave it away.

[kellytheman]

I have a iPhone but I rather have an android. I recently got a iPhone just cause it all I could really afford and is a used iPhone 11 Pro Max. I only did get androids but I naught a new android for like a month it broke when it hit my door when I took a scarp turn

People tend to align with one system or the other, become accustomed to it and the rolling and infrastructure, and then dismiss the other.

You can change but it's not straight forward.

For me, Google tools and android and chromeos. They are cheap and accessible, do everything I need them to, and I don't care about the status that people seem to like from apple.

[MicahRaine]

Android because they're more customizable, more durable, easier and cheaper to fix, have better cameras, come with more storage, etc etc

That said, I have and use both.

[Wiredone]

Android phone. It's the only type phone I've ever owned. I'm so used to it that I would never change

[dustybiker2]

I would never sign up for something that continuously crashes unless I absolutely had to. Apple for me.

[dazzafromoz]

I prefer Android because it worms perfectly for me 100%.

But I don't hate iPhone because it works perfectly for other people.

We have to understand what works for us won't always work for others and vice versa.

[Unit1]

A generic mobile platform castrated from Google and running something like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS or LineageOS

[CindyRuns]

Android of course... Down with the "Fruit Company" !!!

[LiamJHayden]

Currently iPhone because I can easily answer texts from other iPhone users on my MacBookPros, which is far easier to do than typing a response with my big hands on a tiny phone keyboard.

[exitseven]

Android. It is less expensive and it is not an Apple. product.

[bowenw]

iPhone for how it integrates with iPad, Apple Watch, and the iCloud.

[SoJust]

Of course, there are many security vulnerabilities in iPhone and Android, and it slows down over time. There is no such problem in iPhone.

[noohair]

I use i phone. It was my first phone and I don't want to learn another system.

[Zoi1986]

I like iPhone, ability to connect a tablet and watch, FaceTime is nice.

[bobalife]

iPhone is the best way errday

[NathanDavis]

I've only used Android

[Ladsin2]

Iphone because I'm not a psychopath.

[HighValue]

Flip phone for me. :)

Among other things, Apple Maps kicks the crap out of Google maps.

[Danny_dan92]

Which is crazy cause google is a bigger company than apple, not by much but yeah

[Guacamole409]

I deliver with DoorDash as a side gig.

Google Maps. "In 1,000 feet, keep going straight. In one thousand more feet keep going straight."
Me: Shut the fuck up!

Apple Maps: In three miles, take a left.
Me: Thank you. Silence is truly golden. :)

[Danny_dan92]

That’s true, the shorter announcements are more concise also.

Apple apparently invested heavily in improving their maps to compete against google. Because before then, google was the best

[Guacamole409]

When Google says "you're there" that means you're on that block.
When Apple says "you're there" you're dead center in front of their house. I don't know why, but it's uncanny how it works. But the unlimited voice control is awesome with apple.

[Danny_dan92]

I agree lol

[msc545]

Android. Iphones are a ripoff.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Android. Apple is a p. o. s

[Guacamole409]

Did you have an iPhone?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@Guacamole409: No. My mom does though.

[Guacamole409]

I just wish you and everyone else would give thoughtful examples of why something is a piece of shit. Just saying it is meaningless. Someone on this site might be trying to figure out which way to go, and you didn't help them. Isn't that what this site is about?

My advice to people shopping...

Get a cheap Chinese Android. If something goes wrong, chuck it in the garbage.
If you like to live on the edge, maybe get an iPhone. My iPhone will open if I say "dog poop"
