Android and iOS really aren't that different

[winb83]

both have things they do better than the other. Android has more customization which you somewhat trade for stability and iOS is more ridged but far more stable and does seem faster.

most of the mainstream apps are available on both platforms and truthfully with the elimination of the menu button on Android and them pushing developers to put the menus in the ui of their apps Andriod is becoming more like iOS anyway. the phones do the same things. initially when i got an iPhone 5 i wanted to immediately go back to Android but after about a week of use i realized these two are borderline the same thing.

i've witnessed the phone wars, the constant flame baiting and trolling and mostly its been from the perspective of an Android user. now as an iOS user that came from Android its more like arguing the difference between the PS3 and the 360 where 85% of the game catalog is the same games. there are minor stylistic differences but neither is really superior or inferior to the other. people however try to act like this is comparing the Wii to either the 360 or PS3 when its not.

i was using Android 2 weeks ago as my main phone. hell i still use the EVO LTE to surf the web cause i prefer the bigger screen. the stability has gotten better but app crashes still happen and the sluggishness is constantly there.

i will say perhaps my view of Android is tainted by HTC Sense which i've always dealt with over Android. that's part of the problem of Andriod though. all these different versions and different phones. the phone you bought 2 months ago becomes obsolete in that time because some better quad core with a larger screen is being pushed down the pipeline. when that new phone hits it'll have the version of Andorid on it at launch that you won't get till the end of the year and that's if the powers that be decide you can get it because they're trying to sell you the better version of your phone so why should they upgrade the old version.

Google really needs to start cracking down on this. its getting out of hand. i bought the EVO LTE back in June and 4 months later the better version of the HTC One is about to hit.

these makers are cannibalizing their own products you try reselling some of these phones in a few months and they're worthless in comparison. if you wanna sell a second hand iPhone from the previous generation right now you can get about what you paid for it if not more for it. if i decide to sell this EVO i'll have to take less than i paid for it.

i can't even comment on Windows mobile. i had a work phone that had it but i never used any of the features. i pretty much just stuck to the parts i had to use to do my job and left it alone other than that.

they keep trying to push Windows mobile down the general public's throat and the general public keeps rejecting it. last i heard Android is more profitable to Microsoft than Windows Mobile is due to patents.

Its a phone at the end of the day so it does the same basic function. The difference is an open ecosystem vs a closed one. Android is sluggish because its open and they push the technological boundaries. IPhone runs smoother because the apps are reviewed before being submitted to the store and apple adapt the technology late. Android is closer to the desktop experience of windows os. The major difference is Google which is the best service company ever. Downloading directly to your device is a major advantage, sharing to every service major plus, choosing your phone based on software or hardware or size another win. Android is innovating. Android is using the latest technology. NFC, wireless charging, software features thrumps the iPhone
