Escaping iOS universe appreciation

[NatiboyB]

How is that nikkas specifically can afford to get new smartphones like every other month but walking around with a donut on their whip?

Not really related to the thread topic but I had to go into Wal Mart to get a cheap iPod arm sleeve for when I workout.

I see this bytch in the electronic section with her kid LIL nikka snot nosed in shyt got spaghetti o stains on his shirt looking ashy as fukk and I see her in and I'm assuming her man with new galaxy's talking about "dis shyt right here serious, betta den da iPhone".


Priorities my people.......fukking priorities.

Just like my projects were full of chicken heads with the newest iPhone

A small useless widget

breh that's my email widget on my lock screen, I can customize it anyway I want. And I'm not.talking about games like angry birds, I can hook up most fps and platformers or ps1, SNES to a controller and play them correctly. Who would not want to do that? And we in the arcadium breh, chances are most nikkas here would agree. I could still use the screen if I wanted but then again there goes that choice thing I was talking about. I could careless about hooking my shoes up to Nike plus there are apps that do the same shyt without that extra shyt.

what i'm saying is this i can get email on my iPhone. i can unlock the phone and have the email app open in less than 10 seconds. their native email app has a unified inbox for all my accounts including gmail. you're boating about a lock screen widget that saves you like what 10-15 seconds or so?

as for playing games on my phone with a PS3 controller. ok so now i need to carry around a PS3 controller on the go to play SNES games? i'm not doing that. i can play those games at home on a PC with that controller or on game consoles. maybe you carry that thing around with you and if you do more power to you. i'd rather carry my Vita or 3DS XL.

its not like you're going my phone can receive email and yours can't. my phone has Google Maps on it and yours doesn't. its like saying the 360 is better than the PS3 but in the case that Microsoft (or in the cell phone world Google) releases all their exclusive games on the PS3 too. if that was the case they're basically the same system.

features that are useless to you. maybe you don't use Nike+ sensors to track your workouts but i do and an Android phone doesn't work with them.

maybe your gym has equipment that docks and charges and integrates your Android phone into the equipment but mine doesn't. i sit my iPhone in the dock on the equipment made for it and plug my headphones into the gym equipment and i don't have to worry about dropping it switching songs or picking it back up in the middle of a run. the controls are large and on the treadmill or bike or whatever and easy to use while running.

maybe you don't do that stuff but trying to sell people on Android being so much better than iOS when the two have mostly the same apps and do the same things is silly.

you still don't get it. I AGREE WITH YOU. You said most of the features android users brag about are useless window dressing features that aren't very important for everyday use. Soon after you said that, dude came in and rattled off 10 useless features, I thought it was funny so I quoted you both.

nikkas be so caught up in internet arguing, they don't even read to comprehend the context of the statements you address them with. You just gotta sit back and laugh and enjoy the show, effort, and emotion they put into their furious rebuttals.

iWorms stay downplaying Android features until they are adopted by iOS. It's hilarious to me. Widgets are great and saying otherwise is nonsense. Widgets draining battery is a non-issue. It is no longer 2010.

nikkas straight up telling me they don't care to have choices. You rather have a device that governs everything you do? More power to you breh, I personally coming from iPhone 2g to iPhone 4s I have grown tired of the restrictions. Its not 2010 anymore, androids have caught up in every way possible. No more laggy ui, shytty apps or build quality. Battery hasn't been a issue in years

Extra choices are of no significance if people have no need or desire to use them. As of now the two platforms are pretty much comparable. There are some advantages with each one, but it really comes down to which OS your most comfortable using.

Yahoo Sportstacular you tell it your favorite teams and push the icon and it jumps in and shows you the scores. double press home and you can switch songs without going into the music app.

even when i had Android on my main phone i wasn't using those widgets primary because they're a waste of battery life. the only widgets i really used after it came down to it was Calendar and Calculator.

i wish people would quit acting like widgets add functionality. they're just really scaled back versions of the main app that waste battery life updating when you aren't using the apps updating themselves.

half the features Android stans brag about are cool features to show off to simple minded users that don't have smart phones and would be impressed by them but become impractical in day to day use.

to me the only real things Android has on iPhone are cut and paste are light years better on Android. you can download songs and files over the air on the phone and plug up to a computer and some of the phones have larger screens. when Google brought Chrome and the Turn-by-Turn Google Maps over it was a wrap for me.

personally Android and iOS neither are really better than the other. they both have the same basic functionality. i just like that iOS can sync with the Nike+ sensor i use on the treadmill and with my Fitbit and the native MP3 player properly manages my playlist like i like.

I'll let you have widgets...

I can switch quickly and effortlessly switch between apps with a single/double tap

I can skip/rewind a track by using the up/down volume buttons on my phone... great feature if your phone is hooked up to your car stereo

I can toggle/access wifi/bluetooth/nfc/gps/wireless hotspot/alarms etc with one swype

I can get into any of the above setting within 2 seconds... 1 swype and 1 tap/hold

I can share contacts/web pages/addresses/places/videos/pictures/web links with my friends by simply touching phones... a lot on people don't use NFC, it's a very slept on/underrated and very convenient feature.

I can set any app I like as default to handle specific tasks... you mention Chrome and Google Maps but they don't function identically on iOS when compared to Android... the default browser and maps applications on the iPhone are Safari and Apple maps. If you want to open web pages or location links with Google Maps or Chrome it requires extra/unnecessary steps.

My phone also automatically tracks my packages... gives me real time traffic updates... calculates my route to and from my destination, and lets me know about delays ahead of time. It also keeps scores of my favorite team's current game and let's me know the next scheduled game. It gives me transit information when I'm at a bus stop or train station. It lets me know of restaurants, movie times and places of interest around me... alerts me during emergencies... it does all of this without me having to ask it for information.

Please don't sit there and act like iOS is nearly as intuitive and innovative as Android.

Android = King's Landing
iOS = The Wall...ed garden of icons

you aren't really trying to come with logic in here are you?

I'll let you nikkas continue losing

People in here trying to act like having the OPTION of widgets is a bad thing

Apple really has convinced dudes their way is the best way

A small useless widget

breh that's my email widget on my lock screen, I can customize it anyway I want.

This is the problem with you Android stans. You think that people can have only one phone.

So I had this widget. I did use it. Now tell me.

What is the purpose of this fukking widget when you can't read emails and when you press on it it opens the whole email app?

So, essentially, it is an icon which takes up the whole screen.

Now, nikkas DID BRING UP HOOKING UP SNES AND PS3 CONTROLLER AGAIN. :hov:

I already told you, take this teen nerd shyt somewhere else. Don't embarrass yourselves like that.

When some of you are going to post what your so called "innovative" smartphones can do that can interest 99,5% of the market?

What I can't do on iPhone that Android phone can? I already asked that. All I hear is "iPhone stans so stupid". What's your fukking argument?


Even this thread is named "Escaping iOS", not "Android is amazing". It simply comes down to a bunch of nerds being mad.

Everyone in this thread that's stuck with an iPhone contract.

$800 unlocked iPhone but I guess you are stuck with your shyt for 2 years. Yeah
