Someone post the image and let's get it over with
Honestly, I hate iOS because it's stupid. Given a more open environment, it could easily be the best option out there. But Apple is stubborn and controlling and Siri is just dumb compared to its competition.
Android, on the other hand, is garbage software by comparison, but is far more intelligent. And that's what really matters right now.
>no lag
stopped here, Applel push update that make older devices lag as hell
Anyone using iOS 10? How is it?

They're alright. I'd get one if they were cheaper, I guess.
See pic related. You only realize how serious these problems are until you actually get an iPhone. I deeply regret ever buying a 6S.
It's smooth but it's fucking slow, the whole navigation around it is slow, almost like gestures and UI were designed to slow you down. Retarded restrictions like 100mb limit for downloads on cellular networks, apps in general are fucking useless due to Apple's policies. I don't care enough to go on. If you ever tried using a phone with a pure AOSP-based custom ROM you would never say such bullshit.
I wonder who could be behind this post
>Battery life is fantastic, literally lasts me a day and a half with normal use
>paying for tweaks
most aren't paid and you can pirate them too; not all apple features are available on android
>filename
If iOS weren't controlled it'd wind up being broken laggy garbage like Android
>see pic related XDDD
All those points are false
Controlled is totally fine with me. Even preferable. But closed is not. Apple is known for offering APIs for extending the functionality of iOS. They simply choose to not offer APIs for specific things.

Okay then go ahead and disprove them. While you're at it disprove the retarded 100MB download over mobile data limit in iOS.
>Overpriced
So paying $100 more than you would a flagship Android is overpriced? Come on now kiddo

Name the last time you torrented something on your phone

It's literally one of the best cameras you can get on a phone lmao

Really nice screenshot.
For people who care about design, consistency and reliability at the cost of customization, "openness" and the ability to root your device... there's nothing else. Every Android distro I've seen has utterly butt aesthetics.
If you're the sort of person who browses Sup Forums, no shit is Android the OS and platform for you. For normies? iOS makes so much more sense. Looking at Apple's explosive growth and supreme profitability, it would seem they're doing SOMETHING right. All of this demagoguery and kneejerk snarky edgy shit being said in literally every Apple-related thread is sort of missing the point... if you want to make money, to make products people actually want, maybe you could learn a thing or two from Apple. Despite all the logical reasons that Android is superior or whatever the point may be, Apple is just CRUSHING every other manufacturer in profitability.
I have many times in previous threads but retards keep reposting it so there's no point
Also, there is no nice flagship Android at the 4" size. iPhone SE is IT if you want a small phone that doesn't suck ass. Bias disclaimer: I have an iPhone SE. I went iPhone OG -> iPhone 4 -> iPhone 6 -> SE.
My Droid Turbo 2 literally lasts me five or six days per battery charge. Let me know when iOS can do that and I'll consider switching.
>Droid Turbo 2
LOL are you serious
This is clearly to protect braindead consumers from themselves. When people have tiny data plans or data plans with overage fees, this limit makes perfect sense. If you're Apple, you don't want thousands of complaints coming in that they blew through their data plan when their kid downloaded a bunch of huge games that gobbled up all their data. Can you all not see the rationale behind Apple's decisions?
The only downside to the device is that it's locked to Verizon.
>Verizon
Top goy
I use both android and iOS... and both suck, but since you asked:
>>No lag
Yeah, that depends. Not that android is any better.
>>Great hardware
I'll admit my iPhones have lasted longer than my android phones. They also cost 2-3x as much.
>>Aesthetically pleasing
Exterior? Yes. UI? Not really, IMO, but I guess that's subjective.
>>Messaging app is literally the best
I rarely use that.
>>Mail client is top notch and has so many useful features
No. Currently use inbox on both OSs.
>>Battery life is fantastic, literally lasts me a day and a half with normal use
That's terrible, and one of the worst aspects of iPhones.
>>Icons and theming are beautiful and consistent
Consistent, yes, beatiful, hell no (ugly fucking huge icons).
>>Updates come in regularly and devices are supported for years
True.
Also: no swping keyboard? What year is it, Apple?
This
and the mail app gradient looks like it doesnt belong there
Name one API that is available on android but isn't on iOS.
File manager.
k
In 2016 90% of the world has cheap unlimited high speed data plans. You can't justify that BS anymore.
Again, name ONE API that is available on android but isn't on iOS.
So you're a sour grape? Got it.
Android looks better since 5.0
Vulcan.
>no lag
Until apple wants you to buy a new phone.
Have you seen most people's desktops? They're fucking littered with icons. Most normal people do not understand the concept of a hierarchical file manager. Apple has gone with doing away with the nerdy file manager in favor of "buckets" in the form of apps and shareable sheets like the Camera Roll. Where are my photos? Not in ~/Pictures/, they're in the Photos app. Duh. You guys need to take off your technical superiority goggles off and realize that to normal people, this stuff is dense, opaque, and often totally inexplicable. Apple is the largest market cap tech company in the world because they can get inside the heads of normal people and give them something that works without frustrating the hell out of them. As the iOS gets more and more feature creep, their job becomes ever harder. It's really interesting to watch this iterative process progress. Who cares if you buy or use an iPhone? Just observing Apple at work should be super interesting to anyone who's into tech. Food for thought.
Come on buddy, give me one API. Please. Just one.
Quick settings API.
>no file manager
>even with root it's limited to browsing folder and viewing some documents
>no ubiquitous sharing/viewing/editing feature to whichever app can handle a particular file format.
I know iPhones are pretty and iOS is nice and shiny but this is literally the absolute minimum to go from dumbphone to smartphone.
Pretty sure even some pre-android flip phones had a more advanced filesystem than iOS.
>Quick settings API
Available on iOS 10 through the notifications menu. This is getting pathetic user.
As someone who does app development through Cordova:
TextEncoder API (WTF Apple? this is essential)
Web Animations API
Web File API (only parts of it)
Selection API
and probably a lot more.

You can live without this "used once a year" feature I am sure
>no back button
Good. Swiping is better
>shit multi-tasking
Who cares? It's a phone, silly
>less apps
Better quality and more current/secure etc.
>encryption is full of backdoors
Nope
Android is ok when you're poor and immature using it for: ricing for fun, sharing files like a good criminal and generally acting like a cYboR haCK3r with your redundant file browser and cli on a phone. Once you graduate to grown-up, non-neet status you get a comfy iPhone.
>Why does Sup Forums hate iOS?
we don't hate the OS, we hate it's users, you for making this thread specifically
>No lag
le lag meme
>Great hardware
see, iOS users think hardware is an OS feature, that's why we hate them
>Aesthetically pleasing
my aestethic pleasure is not your aesthetic pleasure and i don't like faggy design
>Messaging app is literally the best
no
>Mail client is top notch and has so many useful features
also no
>Battery life is fantastic, literally lasts me a day and a half with normal use
there are so many reactions to this already that i can only smirk
>Icons and theming are beautiful and consistent
themeing is consistent, icons are shit
>Updates come in regularly and devices are supported for years
if by supported you mean turned into a laggy piece of shit so that you'll be forced to give apple some money in order to buy a newer generation that is not as laggy
You should be ashamed of yourself
Nearly an hour late ipanjeet. Only 1 rupee has been deposited into your apple positivity account.
Kek, vid related why apple is shit
in my opinion iphones are to smartphones what gaming consoles are to pcs

Anyone who wants to actually take advantage of the computer they have in their pocket. You probably don't give a fuck because you use your phone to call, and listen to arctic monkeys. kys
>This is clearly to protect braindead consumers from themselves.
I'm not a braindead child. Let me do with my phone what I want. Fuck off, you condescending shitter.
fuck off pissphone

A ton of people don't realize this. Not only that but it leaves a giant gaping asshole of a vulnerability on your iPhone that russian and Chinese hackers are eager to stick their dick into and steal all of your bank and personal info.
>hurr durr i dont want that! i dont need that! who cares waaaah waaahh
The first 2 things are what made me return my iPhone. Not sure how my sister and mom deal with all of this bullshit. I guess they think a logo is more important than usability.
>Anyone who wants to actually take advantage of the computer they have in their pocket.

How is it not a shit res screen? It's literally 2010 levels of screen resolution

You know homosexuality is a sin right? I know we like to joke around Sup Forums but homosexuals are going to burn in hell forever for their degeneracy.

>>Messaging app is literally the best

enough lies
Then go ahead and tell me to message an Android or Windows Phone without sending a SMS.
What's App, Kik, Skype, FB Messenger... like really? Why wouldn't you send SMSs?
>Aesthetically pleasing
This has to be the biggest lie on this post.
>What's App, Kik, Skype, FB Messenger... like really? Why wouldn't you send SMSs?
And those are a point to get an iPhone over any other phone, because...?!
Last time I checked OP was counting messaging as a point for iOS
>Aesthetically pleasing
>This has to be the biggest lie on this post.
Agreed. iOS is one color gradient away from Winders 10 in pleasantness (i.e. it's fucking eye-cancer).
If it was iOS 6 I could have agreed.
Well in terms of group features its one of the best and funnest to use... unfortunately all of those additional features only work between iDevices which Im guessing was your point? yet android has no decent equivalent, even between android devices.
I don't hate iOS, but unlike OS X (which I'm very pleased with), I have several issues with my iPhone and iOS in general. For one, the battery life is horrible compared to my previous phone, Xperia Z3 compact. I also miss several core features, such as adjusting the snooze time on alarms, selecting which WiFi channel I'm creating a hotspot on, seeing a list of connected WiFi clients, dismissing an incoming call without having to send an SMS/iMessage etc.
Android 5.0.0 here
Still better than iOS 10
I hate Android and iOS. Google can go fuck themselves. Apple can go smugly fuck themselves too.
Because all the popular kids have iPhones.
I like you
Please give a reason firstly secondly how about you explain to my why the earlier IPhones root password was leaked before the iPhone 4 came out.
IPhone is making battery banks shut now the only reason I need to charge my phone is while I'm listening to music and that makes it to where I can't charge my phone and listen to music at the same time.
I don't hate iOS, I merely think it's optimized for people who:
a) don't care about tech
b) are stupid as fuck
c) have any other serious disability
Firefox OS ftw
I've got the Droid Turbo and I fucking love it. Upgrading to 2 eventually
Well i agree with you on most points, when do you use this or when was the last time you used this is not a valid defence for absence of a capability. I use that functionality rarely on my GS7 and would imagine many do not, but again, poor defence.

If you can't understand a hierarchical file manager you shouldn't be using a computer. Yes, a smartphone is a computer. It's literally just folders, how dense can the general public be?
my iphone 4 is incredibly laggy
To me, iOS is better than Android because you aren't submitting to the google botnet.
