Other Why do you prefer ios over android?

''I do care a lot what products someone else uses as it makes me feel more empowered with my own opinion validating my own purchase'' <- This is what's happening on this thread.
In the end of the day it's just gadgets we use daily as tools and nothing else. Who cares what kind of toothpaste brand one likes. People should think more about that before defending any specific brand or product.

Yea, that's what I have noticed as well. Many who prefer Android can't seem to accept that certain specs, features, or customization isn't all that critical to some in a platform. On the other end, iOS users seem to prefer simplicity, less tinkering, better security/privacy, and consistency. Neither choice is wrong so the constant back and forth never made much sense to me. It comes down to personal value.

Agree with everything you said. The unfortunate part is folks feel (for whatever reason) like they are being personally attacked because another person chooses to use whatever device/platform they aren't using. It's dumb and it's, unfortunately, human nature.

Yup, definitely agree here. It's unfortunate because it's not everyone on here. I disagree with people on this site all the time (which is okay), but I try to at least keep it to a civil conversation. It's not that serious to get upset over, but I get that feeling of having to defend yourself. I've definitely been there and have antagonized people in some ways as well. I've been working to change that.

Atleast someone with sense in here, even though I like Android I still prefer the simplicity and smoothness of iOS but that doesn't mean there aren't issues but I'm not going to blindly defend a company who gets my money and try to "sell" their products to someone else. People just need to use whatever they like and look for themselves. No option is superior to another, both have their own specific uses for all kinds of people.

I have had many iPhones and many Android phones. I love how the Android phones allow you to customize and set up your phone exactly how you want it. In that regards they are unbeatable. My beef with Android phones is that every single one of them begins to lag and stutter short of 2 years. It is frustrating. The eventual lag is the sole reason I carry an iPhone. They stay quick and lag free far longer than an Android based phone.

I think that largely depends how you use them and how you load them. I use mine in just the same state as the day I buy them i.e. I keep virtually nothing on the phone, it's all in the cloud.

I have absolutely no use for lots of storage, 32 gigs is way more than enough for me. When used like this the phones stay as fast and sharp as the day they were unboxed.

What's that they say - there's nothing worse than a convert?

Nice to see the discussion turn civil.

Saw this the other day: How people fight online vs real life.
