An iPhone user and an Android user stab each other over which is better.

Two men are hospitalized after an alcohol-fueled argument began over which phone is better: iPhone or Android.

Tulsa police say a woman found a man covered in blood, stumbling around the parking lot of the Evergreen Apartments around 1 a.m.

When police arrived at the apartment complex, they learned that the roommates had been drinking and arguing over their mobile phones.

Police say the two men broke beer bottles and stabbed each other with them. One of the men smashed a bottle over the back of the other man's head.

Police aren't sure who they will charge or if charges will be filed at this time. Both men are being treated at an area hospital for their injuries.

Police did not respond when our photographer asked which phone is better.

^^ I'm surprised the cop didn't shoot the photographer in the back several times and claim he thought he was trying to taze the guy. :rolleyes:

Not sure which is worse, this or that case a couple years ago where there were death threats that cause av forums to shut down over which hd format was better, bluray or hddvd. I think this cause I don't think in the other case there was an actual physical confrontation, but I could be wrong.

Or Illinois. :)

And yeah, I agree -- really, really stupid to argue over something such as this. Much less resort to violence over something as silly as a cellphone brand.

I have bought and used both types of devices (Android and Apple). Both of them have their pluses and minuses. Am a current iPhone6 user and generally like the experience thus far. Will I go back to Android? Maybe, maybe not. Just depends on what is offered when my contract ends.

Both types of phones will appeal to different types of people. Don't necessarily think one is "better" than the other for all users.

Just in case though, I won't argue this point with any drunken Android or iOS folks. ;)

Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Seems like a reasonable argument to me considering the world we live in. These days a teenager will kill you because he was bored, this week a 74 year old was sent to jail for raping a 24 year old woman, in America this week we had a report on a Policemen shooting a man in the back multiple times, and another just ramming a suspected with his patrol car.

So this sort of thing seems normal in today's society. Look at this sites users, when they post a story about Samsung users in this forum were being utterly racist to an entire country and declaring war!

There is no android vs iPhone debate. That's old. The debates are over. They both are good at some things and bad at other things.

The only thing that separates them now is the fact the the 5s is the only reasonably sized phone worth a damn in the market right now.

And quite possibly the best phone apple ever made.

Wow. I can't believe humanity has become this dumb. Who cares which one is better, just use whatever you want and ****. PS: Love the Microsoft ad.

I guess I'm lucky in that I never really understood the fanboy mentality. Well, maybe that's not quite true; I was stupidly a big fan of American cars for a while, when it turned out they were building complete crap. I thought I should love them, and I did, and was probably a bit of a fanboy about them. But after owning my third or fourth complete unmitigated piece of junk I learned my lesson and I've never been a fanboy of anything since. I'll be a fan, absolutely. But when a company (or person, or studio, or...) I'm a fan of starts producing crap (BiowEAre? Anyone? Anyone? George Lucas? Anyone? Anyone?), I won't pretend otherwise. My own sense of self-worth is in no way whatsoever tied-into what products I purchase, what music I listen to, what movies I like, etc. To become this upset because somebody prefers one product over another speaks volumes about how materialistic people have become. Not only do we want to own own own, but our egos are so fragile that we have to pretend to ourselves, somehow, that what we own is better than what the next guys owns. Isn't that just a wee-bit absurd?
