It would be a good subject for your crazy uncle at dinner today - keep him off of politics.
Well as for memory managment it still is, yes it has a lot more backward compatibility and as I said Windows 10 is a huge leap compared to older version, but Mac OS X still has the edge.
The gap is narrowing and quite fast, especially since the QC at Apple is tanking!
a) Wrong forum
b) Macrumours Newbie
c) Profile says 'Android is superior'
Just be gone already haha.
EDIT: for the record, I have considered a Galaxy S8, but there is so much more to it that just switching phones. I would lose the continuity features with my mac and iPad, I would lose iMessage, I would lose my Apple Watch, I would lose the full use of my AirPods (which are awesome), I would lose CarPlay, and I would lose more refined apps. If none of that matters to you, and you sound quite young, so give it a try.

I guess it really depends on where you post this question... on an Android forum, I was told to “smash it and pledge allegiance to the almighty Android.” And as much as I’d like to do that, I think this forum will give me some more legitimate answers.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, you thought wrong.
Of course it is. The better trolls usually come in with a bit of a story that doesn't make it completely obvious at first. Having been on here so long though, its very common around the launch of each new iPhone. Its a concentrated effort to try and damage the launch and reduce those MASSIVE sales numbers. It never works of course.
Also its common for a troll to start a thread and then barely participate. The reason for this is that the front page of the forums gets intentionally flooded with negative posts. Think of it as a form of fake news. Then Apple fans keep it afloat with replies playing into the trolls hands. Kind of like what I am doing now LOL, but hey it will be just the same next year

Refined apps like the homescreen and app store? Those are stock apps, can't blame 3rd parties.
Always had a theory that Android users have grown more fanatic than iOS users. Kinda ironic that the ones who hailed Sammy for the sheep ads are themselves blinded by their own choice. In real life, just last week I was criticized for using a Mac/iPhone/Watch three times. Never hear that from Apple users (in real life).
I think that should read "some Android users" and there are certainly "some Apple users" who could be said the same of. I have a Samsung phone and other Android devices and have been an Android user from very early on but would not call myself a fanatic. Both ecosystems have their good and bad points worth defending and criticizing.
A lot of Android users are total crazy fanatics. I don't see any Apple people behaving like them.
What I did yesterday was use the TubeMate app on my LG phones to download every iPhone intro and ads. Also every ColdFusion video that is interesting enough for me.
I prefer educational videos. I had some issues playing them with the TV app but it's ok now. So all I do is loop every iPhone intros or anything related to iPhone or Apple.
I had to use two LG Androids to have this fun on an iPhone but it is fun to watch iPhone-related videos on an iPhone. You may end up sticking to them after being mesmerized by their product presentations.
An iPod. A phone. And an Internet communicator. Are you getting it? This is not three separate devices. This is one device.

Funny, I read the same thing about Apple fanatics over on the Android forums.
Oh most def. Don't wanna generalize. But after seeing countless "switching to android" posts (most here) and having a majority of users saying "hey man, it ain't for you do you" it kinda cements that Apple users are more rational and perhaps have experience with both. The other camp seems to have more of the - never used Apple products so I'm-a hate on what I don't know - mentality.
My advice - clean it, put it in a safe place, and have it ready for when you decide to come back to iOS within one month.
