Are you team Android or team iPhone and why?

Question

I'm team Android because it's cheaper, most uses USB-C charger which is faster and more universal, and seems like they last longer. Had my Samsung Galaxy 10 plus for over 4 years now. Can't say the same about people I know with iPhones.

I used to have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S20) but now have an iPhone (16). Both have their pro’s and cons. The iPhone actually cost the same amount as the Samsung Galaxy phones. iPhone 16 is $799 and Samsung Galaxy 25 is listed as $800. Also, iPhones have been using USB-C since 2023.

Overall, I like the iPhone more but it is more complicated to use when it comes to files, since apps on iPhones don’t automatically file share the way they do on Android phones (it’s part of their security setup). Android phones are more user friendly and straightforward but iPhones are higher quality and allow you to do a lot more, so it’s a trade-off. Like, I like how straight out of the box my iPhone lets me screen record any videos I see online and save them to my phone. It also lets me extract the audio out of any video and create an audio file of it. I use that a lot for making offline music playlists. I just go on YouTube, screen record the video of whatever song I want, then extract the audio afterwards. I’ve found a lot of cool live performances of songs, as well as different versions of songs, you can’t find on any music streaming app. You can also use those features to make any alert sounds and tones that you could possibly think of, for your phone. If you’re in to doing all that customization stuff it can be a lot of fun.

Besides that, the iPhone’s camera’s are better and they also have the best built in speakers of any phone out there. Many of the apps that come on iPhone are also really nice.

So if you want a phone that’s ready to go and easy to use right out of the box - one you don’t have to think too much about - I’d go with an Android. But if you want a higher quality, but a bit more complex, experience that allows you to do some neat things that Androids can’t do (or if you take lots of pictures and videos), I’d say go with an iPhone. Both offer great experience though, and I do wish the user experience was a bit easier on my iPhone. (Oh, and switching from Android to iPhone was a pain. It seriously took me several days just to get everything set up on my iPhone how I wanted it. And even then there was a lot I had to learn when it came to how iPhones operate.)

I prefer Android, mostly because it's what I've used since smartphones became a thing, and it's just what I'm used to.

Aside from that, I don't own any Apple products, so there's no real incentive for me to own an iPhone, since I wouldn't be able to integrate all the various products together that I don't have.

Plus, iPhones have always seemed to be more of a "cliquey" thing, to me; like a status symbol. You weren't "cool" unless you own the latest and greatest iPhone every year, and only losers owned last years model. *Insert dramatic eye roll*

I never liked that aspect of "iPhone culture" which always kind of pushed me away from ever wanting one. I keep my shit until it literally stops working, so I'll be damned if I'm buying a new phone every year, just to keep up with trends.

I prefer Android phones which is what I'm writing this on. At the moment. I don't own any Apple equipment at all. I refuse to buy anything from Apple. I think they are an unethical corporation and they treat their own customers with disdain and exploitative marketing techniques. I further think most of their equipment is designed to fail after a fairly short period of time and it is unreasonably overpriced as well.

worldscolide · Answer

Android and jot for reasons like one is better than the other cause it's not. It's because of apples anti consumer practices, like bricking laptops and phones for replacing screens and batteries. Or the fact that apple would see someone like me who fixes his own devices sent to prison for it.

Fuck apple.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I switched from android to iphone to get away from google. There is an associated learning curve, but i like it just fine. I like that i can remove or replace any app i want and i have more control over my privacy and permissions. Google is the world heavyweight champion of stealing your personal information and selling & trading it for profit without your knowledge and permission. Let alone giving you a cut.
That should be a series of crimes as far as i’m concerned.

TodsShadow · Answer

I've been team android since I got my first phone. I was picked on for not having a iphone, cuasing me to be biased. Genuinely for the longest android phones had the best features versatility and had many unique concepts roll out over time. I've been a loyal samsung user since I got my galaxy note 4. I have a s23ultra now. Due to ill just say "life" financially I have to accept a free iphone 16 pro to fix a problem im currently going through. Still team android but ill give a honest try to this iPhone. Wish me luck...

iPhone only because of my investment in Apple infrastructure and familiarity with the Apple iOS. But I'll readily admit there is no practical difference between Apple and Android in design, features, or performance. Cheapest device wins. They are all good enough.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

I'm specifically  always in the team that is not Apple lol . For practical reasons, since the point of Apple is to target an audience who wants less things to control and more friendly devices. I want more control then what Apples aims at, so I'm staying away from Apple products.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

100% Team Android. I like having actual new features and not having to have them "new" 10 years later. I like that I have more control over my phone's functionality. I love the camera on it. They feel sturdier. I use an iMac at work so I'm familiar with some of Apple's features. I'm in no way saying that Apple products suck. They're just built for different preferences

ShellyB · Answer

iPhone because, well I don’t know why actually, that is what I have always had, I prob. just liked their ads originally or maybe it was b/c most of my friends had iPhones. As for today, still most of my friends have iPhones so it would be a little annoying to switch, and I have no actual reason I would want to switch.

bolverk · Answer

Team Android, not limited to one brand of Phone, and I can have different handsets for different needs, as if I'm travelling abroad I'll use a cheap handset so if I loose it its no big loss. When I'm working I used a Ruggedised Handset, with different apps to the cheap handset.
