Is there really an appreciable difference? Is all the bullshit banter just Fanboys?
Both have the same apps, same games, and almost look the same. A flagship Android device and current iPhone will cost roughly the same and perform close to the same. It's not like they are plagued with problems like windows phones.
You can sideload Android apps without rooting it and certainly without the limitations of jailbreaking an iPhone

ios is better but it's too locked down android gives you more freedom but it's not as good as ios quality
David Nguyen
Only benefits iOS have >more efficient memory management >if Jamal steals it there's no way of unlocking it, with an Android phone you can always flash stock ROM
Dominic Richardson
you're right, from a hardware level, a flagship android phone and iPhone are relatively the same with similar performance.
the issues all come from the software side. android is objectively worse than iOS. and then theres the very real social stigma against android, especially you live in western society.

>Using a botnet phone Of fucking course it's fanboyism. That's the highest level of consciousness that plebians are capable of.
Jaxon Kelly
Is this stigma actually a thing? Nearly every one who cares about tech has an android at this point.
Connor Thomas
its real in the US. friend with a one plus has complained about tinder prospects once he gets far enough to get number. doesnt happen often obviously but even once in a blue moon can be offputting.
Joshua Robinson
OP makes post, explaining the lack of objective difference between flagship Andtoid and iOS.
His reasoning is that people are Fanboys, or in other words, brainlet sheeple.
Android vs iOS Fanboys weigh in. OP successfully proves /g is full of brainlet Fanboys. Where is that 135 IQ again?
Jace Parker
did you actually read those names?

I wouldn't want to associate myself with a person with these kind of priorities anyway, but never seen this as a thing in Europe. I guess this is what happens when your entire national identity revolves around not being perceived as poor.

Basically Android phones are for people who need to get work done and need a phone with good battery life.
iPhones are for children and homosexuals who lug around battery banks in wooden wagons everywhere they go or insistently keep asking people for chargers and get upset when 99% of them don't have their gayphone charger.
I used to own an iphone 6 before it got touch disease btw.
Also copypasta related:
Let's run down the list
Android phones let you: >have real encryption with no backdoors >download over 100MB over mobile data >install a third party app launcher and icons >use it as a flash drive >share any kind of file over wifi/bluetooth >torrent via torrent clients in the playstore >install apps outside the playstore >modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain >manually control complex camera functions via third party apps >natively browse files >view better colors via amoled displays >browse Sup Forums and natively open webms inside them via third party apps >extract/browse archives >add additional phone storage via a micro SD card >replace the stock battery with a bigger one >add widgets to your home screen >access important functions by swiping down
ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO HACK YOUR PHONE
You can spout all the "lagdroid XDddd---" memes you want but Android phones truly are more advanced than itoddler phones and the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market share right now.

>Android >good battery life

>more efficient memory management Because apps are not allowed to do basically anything in the background.

Material design hurts my eyes to look at. Why does a phone with a 4K screen throw up one fucking color bar over a white screen and call that an interface?
Also, how many stories do you see on the news of FBI officials struggling to get into Androids?
Colton Fisher
Is there really still no way of bypassing iCloud? I've seen some people advertising it on CL
Jonathan Davis
Android = no security
iOS = so secure, not even the CIA can crack iOS 10.
Zachary Phillips
>great value emojis He has a point
Brandon Taylor
For 99% of people, Android and iOS meet their needs just as well.
Jose Cox
Give it back, Jamal.

I'd take 10:29 hours of safe web browsing over 12:08 hours of web browsing with a random chance of exploding.
Michael Jones
True but it's also a pro, since you can flash the custom rom you want.
Jonathan Smith
Don't forget, iOS only lets you use special ringtone files as ringtones. I had to jump through so many fucking hoops to set my dad's ringtone on his iPhone to a sound file he already had on the phone's memory, a process that can be done in seconds through the settings menu in Android.
Aaron Cruz
But Iss gon sel it 2 by rimz
Seriously though, are there ways of doing it? I see it advertised more and more.
Jacob Jenkins
Lies. The only advantage iOS have over Android is integration with MacOS and even that is debatable. Android is superior.
Also iphone sustained performance is utterly and absolute dogshit
Zachary Mitchell
iOS is superior. iOS is for normal people who have relationships and have girlfriends or wives, friends. these people also work out and are fit and actually make money and know how to naturally be social. Android is for creepy neckbeards who fap to Loli porn and think they're better than all the "Normies" just because they use wangblows or Linux on a shitty old fagpad and they naturally love LagDroid.

You can install alternative operating systems on Android phones that don't even have to be Android at all (Plasma Mobile, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish, and Firefox OS to name a few). Once Apple drops support, there's nothing you can do about it. On Android you unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM like Lineage OS that will get updates for years. The Galaxy S2 from 2011 can run Nougat fairly well, while the iPhone 4s is stuck on iOS 9.3.5.
