So Nexus is the only solution to Android's problem? This argument is invoked far too often on here.
Nexus 4 is only available to GSM customers which are the minority in the US. The Nexus 4 also lacks LTE which is just pathetic in a brand new device going into 2013. Who wants to run on HSPA for 2 years when LTE is becoming the standard and quickly
Pretty sure android have the same integration/"native" facebook experience, tweetbot its overrated and hyped (check out how they priced the client on mac
) and tiny wings i dont now what that it; regarding updates, carrier branding etc i cant comment because i dont have experience with it.They both have cons and pros but imo i consider android at the point the superior OS and google is really pushing hard while apple its playing it safe collecting cash
if iOS 7 dont bring something different to the table it will loose more market to android, its no news that people are starting to notice the lack of WoW on iOS.Since the first iphone these is the first year i dont get the new iphone on launch day.
I'm tired of the PPI argument. Want a bigger PPI? Get the Droid DNA. Blows the iPhone's PPI away. After a certain point, PPI is just a nicety, not a deal-breaker.
To the second (and more concrete) part of your argument: you're correct that the iPhone 5 has more accurate color reproduction. However, there's a way to fix the SAMOLED's color and saturation to make it more accurate.
However, what really blew me away about the SAMOLED on the Galaxy Nexus (a year-old phone, by the way): get something black on the screen. On the iPhone, I can tell the screen is on. WIth the Galaxy Nexus, I can't. It's as black as can be.

Moving the target again, I see.
Not true mate nobody here is giving you a hard time but the michael guy i dont think is very loved around here lol
Marketshare? Android has close to 70% marketshare already, friend. All major design houses simply don't like developing for Android. It is a matter of taste. It is the same with owning a Mac. I believe, no matter what market share, iOS apps will always be better than those on Android. Apple is a design house. And as such, they attract designer heads.
zbarvian and michaeljohn, just give it, you're not going to convince anyone here that iOS is better then Android even though almost every android user would say that the iOS ecosystem is better then Androids alot of people including myself are going to forgive that and perfere Android because of it's openness, customisability and more grown up design.
Yeah. But this is a heated debate that's bound to end in insults and mod-calling, lol
This thread is called "why I'm going back to iOS" not "why I love Android and think its better than iOS" so it would seem you are only here to start trouble and go off topic
...grown up design? Fisher Price and Tron-inspired designs don't exactly scream "grown-up."

It's too bad the best feature of iMessage is so faulty. When going between convos on my ipad to my mac and vice versa, I constantly get messages out of order or repeated messages hours later. It's quite glitchy.
I hate the arguments about which display is better. It's a matter of taste. Some people like bigger screens, some people like the iPhone screen. But to say the iPhone 5 screen is better because it has a higher ppi is just ludicrous. It's like saying the iPhone screen is better than my 1080p 32 inch tv because it has more pixels per square inch.

Look at that. Individual time stamped messages, how useful!

OK. You claim that you are objective to both Android and iOS, but in this post, you are clearly trying to start a pissing match between the two OS! First of all, this is TouchWiz and not the stock OS. Secondly, even in TouchWiz, you can install different messaging applications so your point is moot.

You mean like in the thread What's Your Deciding Factor? [to stick with Android over iOS] where you started talking about iPhone 5?
I'm talking design, not interaction. And as I said before, there's a beauty in simplicity. What could be easier than opening apps from the home screen?
This is an iOS themed thread, after all.
Every time you invoke this argument, it shows how little you know about the Nexus program.

You can make Android look like anything you want. Not saying that's better or worse, but shouldn't that fact end the argument?
I've never seen Android look as meticulously designed and polished as iOS. My brother is in Dribbble (design community) and they all use iPhones because Android is so poorly designed. After he pointed out the flaws and inconsistencies, it's hard to unsee them.
So design is more important than interaction? Guess that's why the iPhone is an absolute jewel with apple pushing the whole made with the precision of a finely crafted watch while ignoring any innovation with the OS (unless a fifth row was innovation).
What could be easier than opening the app from the home screen? A widget showing the info without having to open the app at all. Calendar for appointments and scheduling for example.

So your opinion of android is based off of someone elses opinions?
