Yup times always change. I was an Aiwa person back in the day, it had more features than Sony Walkmans.

Hate is a strong word. My preference doesn't mean I hate anything. The s7 is a nice device. Addressing the thread though I think it'll take more than just one phone to threaten the iPhone market. It takes time imo. The G5 was intriguing to me as well. Maybe I'm more intrigued by possible accessories with that slot.

Because I like the iPhone/ipad for reasons other than apple services and stock apps(the efficiency of the system, updates, longevity of the devices, don't have to troubleshoot wakelocks).
Google services are much better cross platform imo(I will never go all apple because it's just... Too boring, too much tech out there to buy from only one manufacturer).
Privacy concerns aside, google services are just better in general imo (we already know that Apple hands over iCloud backup data so I'm not sure exactly how much better off you are with them WRT cloud security anyway). I'm okay with Googles business model and would prefer not to be nickel and dimed by Apple, the devices themselves are expensive enough as it is for me. I'd rather give Google my analytics and then block their ads
Many android fans often say the best google experience (aside from Google now) is on ios!

no it is not....... those are just two simple examples. IOS is limited to just one foreground app.
Google greatly improves my iPhones.
Google Maps always finds the address I'm looking for, Apple maps still has blank areas.
Google Keep notes, is truly outstanding.
Google Drive is another example of great software design and execution
It's a proven fact.
How is it different? Because ios does run multiple apps at the same time but doesnt have split screen, on the phones.
So either its the same thing or iphones also have multitasking. Which is it?
oh c'mon...iphone version of IOS does not have multitasking....thats a dead horse.
lol....yep buddy...ignorance is bliss. You just continue multitasking on your iphone. You keep breaking those barriers and get a text while on the internet you trail blazer you......
There are exceptions with certain apps that Apple deems worthy. Try switching to check your message and your browser session will halt. Android keeps on downloading the page.
My really old Sanyo SCP-6200 phone from 2002 could do that and it wasn't the first. That's just basic feature phone functionality and not multitasking to the extent of a PC.
Technically not true on iPads.

Just tried it on my iPhone. It does continue to download. So you are wrong again
[doublepost=1458362245][/doublepost]
Can you get it right. It is not certain apps. It is certain APIs. Any app can use those APIs to continue to work in the background
Its not wholy true on iphone either.
I've often used my iPhone to stream video to my apple TV, then whilst it's doing that I can change whatever app I'm using without affecting the video or audio being streamed to my apple TV such as a game, or other app and all the while the iPhone is continually checking 4 email accounts and downloading emails and attachments, background refreshing and polling apps like Facebook & Twitter and receiving messages from WhatsApp, Messenger or SMS all of which it does at the same time. If I get an SMS I can quick reply which doesn't exit me out of whatever I'm doing on screen or stop video or audio playback which is being streamed in the background ...
Likewise I can use my myzone fitness app and with it syncing with my chest heartrate monitor, I can at same time be streaming audio with Google play music to my headphones and then be reading news articles and such in front. At no point does my audio stop streaming or the myzone fitness app which syncs via Bluetooth to my heartrate sensor stop running in the background, they continue whilst I am reading, checking emails or surfing the net. Again whilst the ios device is still pulling down emails, getting messages pushed / polled and social media updates and notifications.
The idea ios can't run a single background app is nonsense. It's continuously doing a myriad of things in background. It may not offer split screen multitasking or allow apps like torrents etc; but the fallacy of multitasking that is being perpetuated on this sub fora is embarrassing. If you have to prove a point by predicating it on a fallacy, perhaps the point wasn't worth making, or needs to be rethought.

I said I tried it on my iPhone. Web page continued to load.
iPad pro, iPad Air 2 and mini 4 all have split view multitasking, so just not the iPad pro.
It may continue to download if it's a short page. But not if you're downloading a large file or anything that takes a while, iOS will suspend the app.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202070
App Refresh
After you switch to a different app, some apps run for a SHORT PERIOD of time before they're set to a suspended state. Apps that are in a suspended state aren’t actively in use, open, or taking up system resources. With Background App Refresh, suspended apps can check for updates and new content.
If you want suspended apps to check for new content, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn on Background App Refresh. If you quit an app from the app switcher, it might not be able to run or check for new content before you open it again.
That might be the case, but for my purposes, it loads in the background. I just tried more than a dozen sites, switched to another app, waited a bit and came back in. ALL sites were fully loaded. So your original assertion that the site won't load is false.
Of course a normal site will load but not a large file download or anything that takes time.
Yes, large file downloads are an issue which I did mention before, but I was replying to your specific quote of
"browser session will halt. Android keeps on downloading the page."
Note, that you said page and I was sure that wasn't the case, so I tried.
I want Android to allow me to voice navigate to an address in my contacts. That will not happen with google maps.
I can, however, ask Siri to navigate to an address in my contacts and it will do it with Maps.
I can even ask Siri to navigate to an address in my contacts and add two words "via transit" and I get to select ANY other navigation app that is on my iPhone to use.
Please tell me how I can do that with Android.
Your 6p is a 2015 device. So you should compare it to the 6s plus which fixed the problem you are complaining about with Safari. The 2 gigs of ram fixed a lot of ills with the first phablet Apple ever made. With Apple you should not buy a first generation anything. I am so glad I waited for 6s plus.
