Android has fundamental flaws which cannot be easily fixed short of rewriting the entire operating system. The concept of allowing vendors to modify and customize their system is fine, however letting them to choose whether if they want to offer updates or not is a retarded gaping flaw which is the primary reason why Android is seen as a pajeetware among the general public. The idea of having to hack your phone and flash an image made by an Indian is comical and tragic. It has been built into a virtual machine where the processor not only has to transcribe the retarded pajeet code into binary, it also has to operate this virtual machine and somehow run the code seamlessly. The security system in Android is a joke. It has come to a point where developers can distribute data mining apps in the official repository of the operating system and go unnoticed by Google. Apps can refuse to operate if you don't let them access to every part of the system, which is a bannable offense in the App Store. Android apps can inject root kits into the firmware and persist between factory resets, which is impossible to do on any iPhone.
Now, I can understand defending Android for the freedom it provides, torrenting, third party repositories and customization is some of them. But, in the sake of preserving the hipster attitude and looking down on fruity toddler toys, the community overlooks the fundamental flaws in this operating system that needs to be addressed. You may scream and cry but its an indisputable fact that Android tries to be jack of all trades master of none. The engineers at Google somehow got the idea that shitting out new features without properly auditing them is fine. They can't comprehend the idea of throughly auditing Android and addressing the security flaws in their system. Make sure to address these issues before claiming a contrary opinion to the title.
Of course it is. It fucking works. There's a reason why all the rich people use iphones and not Lagdroids.

nigga pls. CIA leaks proved UNEQUIVOCALLY that iOS is MUCH MORE SECURE than Android. We're talking a MAGNITUDE more secure.
CIA had zero iOS 0-days and 25+ Android 0-days.

There have definitely been iOS security issues in the past, like the PDF bug that the entire 3.1.3? jailbreak was build around. I'm sure there are fewer zero days considering the closed code base, but those same companies are also forced into compliance with NSA data collection incentives that for all we know compromise if entirely.

>For the number of exploits, just count them. For model specific parts, note the "Affected Devices" column of the table. For both Android and iOS, not all vulnerabilities affect all devices. Many of these listed for both devices have already been patched, and only affect older models. Of the 14 iOS vulnerabilities, 4 have a "death date", meaning that they were patched already. The other remaining 10 are still in the operating system. By comparison, of the 26 (user must have miscounted) Android vulnerabilities, only 5 of them affect all phones with the current version of Android.
>Assuming one is using an Android phone with the most up to date version of Android or a ROM with the most up to date version of Android, the CIA has 5 tools it can use to exploit you. By comparison, for an up to date iPhone, 10 tools still work, and one of them can fuck your Kernel.

The difference between Android and iOS is that individuals independent from intelligence agencies can also exploit Android easily. No operating system is safe in regard of airgap hopper malware like stuxnet.
Android and iOS developer here. For me the biggest issue with Android is garbage collection.
When I learned iOS's ARC, I started realizing how superior it is when compared to GC. That's the reason a 4GB Android phone/tablet literally get worse RAM management than a 2GB iOS Device.
Also, iOS benefits from it's programming language. While Google chose Java, Apple chose Objective-C, meaning Android runs on a VM while iOS runs on metal, that could explain why iOS is smoother most of the time. Apple now has Swift, which is fucking amazing and also compiles to machine code, with full integration on ARM and x86. Why Google insists on Java? I don't know.
Don't get me wrong, Android is great, but because of Java (and the garbage IDE), developing for it is no fun.

Sup Forums falls for the free software. The more control the more streamlined the product. Apple can design exactly how the phone is going to work down to the temps.
Of course samsung etc with Google's Android + Qualcomm processor + their own screen can't match something so streamlined in raw performance.

Evan Hill
>Of course samsung etc with Google's Android + Qualcomm processor + their own screen can't match something so streamlined in raw performance. That's rubbish and you know it. Samsung makes literally every component of the Galaxy line, including the SoC (Exynos) and they have early access to Android's source code. The only thing preventing them from putting out a streamlined product is their own organizational incompetence.

Here is a tutorial in case your android lags. Don't forget to thank the Samsung daddy for making such a consistent OS :^)
I can't believe how laggy my s7 is for a flagship top of the line android phone only a year old. I am getting an iPhone next time.
I know this sounds like a shill but it's true. It's not particularly slow but when you pay the literal price for an iPhone anyway you shouldn't get something inferior. I feel like I am running around with a chinkshit with a nicer screen sometimes, not an actual premium phone.

Dylan Fisher
1. You wouldn't have this problem if you use the stock rom. 2. No app can have access to root unless you rooted your phone and give that app access to the root (apps have access to basic stuff like storage, camera, etc) 3. No Google play app is allowed to share your personal information without your acceptance 4. See about Android security tl;dr If you use your Android phone like you use your iPhone you wouldn't have any of these problems

Then how's ios jailbreaked? Ios doesn't allow you to download apps outside the appstore (that's why you need a pc to jailbreak) same with android but you can disable it on android at your own risk. If you don't disable it you wouldn't get an 3rd party app that system warned you about to have access to your root. Also it's impossible to root an +5.0 Android without a pc

False. >One in four apps on an Android mobile phone is loaded with an excessive number of un-related "trackers" that are funnelling valuable personal information to third parties. >Popular games apps My Talking Tom and Swamp Attack in the Google Play store are among the worst apps, each loaded with more than 20 "connected trackers", a study by Australian IT research agency NICTA shows. In contrast, the top 100 paid apps had on average 1.3 trackers each. >"There is some element of the app trying to deceive the user, doing something more than its declared function," said author Aruna Seneviratne, NICTA's research leader in mobiles. >"The trackers are leaking a huge range of data like contacts and your browser history to third parties so they can build a picture of you." >The Google Play market holds more than a million apps and has seen more than 50 billion downloads to date. Cyber safety experts have long criticised Google for its lax security regime in comparison to Apple's app store. >>>rootkits I am talking about persistent rootkits. Any jailbroken iPhone can be rolled back into an uninfected, unjailbroken state by an iTunes update or restore.
Okay I get it, you can't read. I was clarifying that rootkits and jailbreaks were 2 seperate things. You can remove jailbreak from an iPhone, you can't remove Mossad rootkits from an iPhone. Sup Forums decided to replace the baka with baka in the link so here is the archive link archive.is/qItYP

iPhones are made for consumers only, those who will just use social media and nothing else. They're just an expensive hobby, popular because mindless consumers worship brands. Android is made for everyone, including consumers, and can do almost anything a desktop OS can do, plus whatever iOS can do. Lower end Android devices may be slower, but they come at 1/8 price of an iPhone and still can do much more. You can almost always fix an Android phone yourself instead of paying a pajeet $100 to check what's wrong and another $200 to fix it. You can't turn an iPhone into a useful tool and you're very limited when using it.
Tyler Howard
I have already mentioned this in the OP but since you didn't bother reading it, I'll quote it: >Now, I can understand defending Android for the freedom it provides, torrenting, third party repositories and customization is some of them. But, in the sake of preserving the hipster attitude and looking down on fruity toddler toys, the community overlooks the fundamental flaws in this operating system that needs to be addressed.
See, you are just trying to justify the Android's flaws by attacking iOS. I already acknowledged that Android provides more freedom compared to iOS. But this doesn't change the fact that last year's Android flagships are slower and laggier than last year's iPhone. People usually pay the same price for inferior experience in the long term. Android's security flaws, retarded garbage collection, fractured market, discontinued nature still persist and there. Fire up your search engine and search " lagging" and you'll find many results and many angry users complaining about the performance. Being able to drag & drop music into your phone doesn't really justify the shitty performance.
Cameron Sanchez
No matter how nice Apple makes iOS, I'm still never using an iPhone as long as they keep insisting on sub-HD displays. Phablets need not apply.
Jaxson Ortiz
Android hasn't had lag since Lollipop/Marshmallow. I haven't seen any android made after 2015 that lags, other than chink-tier phones. So you need to update your info about android phones, a lot has changed over the last 3 years. There's no problem on the "android market". There's no lag anymore unless you make it. And believe me, you can do the same on iOS.
Speaking of shit performance, pic related. Why would anyone buy products from such a shit company? Not to mention iPhones tend to overheat sometimes and they literally freeze and lag for around 10 seconds until they cool off.
Ryan Sanders

Preinstalled carrier/oem apps, bloated nature, discontinued phones from 2 years ago, losing proprietary camera drivers when you root and fractured market that puts lots of weight on app developers are some of them. There are more of these, just read through the thread.
> There's no lag anymore unless you make it. And believe me, you can do the same on iOS. You can't do that on iOS. See above.

So the only problem are manufacturers. The only significant bloat comes from Samsung. Most other brands include a stock android with maybe an app or two, or a different theme. You can use literally any of those brands. And you can uninstall all that shit or at least disable it. Android O will take an approach to fix most problems, including separation of system and carrier apps. Or, you could just buy phones directly from source instead of buying it from TMobile and they won't sneak any apps (which, I repeat, you can remove without root).
>fractured market This means literally nothing. Backwards compatibility is always appreciated but nobody is forcing developers to make their apps compatible with older android versions. Look at desktop operating systems and you'll see that 50% of desktop users are using an OS 8 years old. Obviously this isn't an issue to the market. And over half devices are just made NOT to be updated. Shit companies do this to just make a cheap device and sell it to masses who will blindly buy it. So if you'd exclude those from the android market it would look much better. This isn't even a problem since nobody is forcing you to buy shit. Just get a Google phone or something. If by fractured market you meant that literally everyone is selling android and can sell it, this isn't a flaw.
Even with all these flaws android is still a better OS and phones are powerful enough for anything these days. You literally don't need a meme superpowerful processor for anything. It's not like you'd want to do 4K gaming on a phone. iPhones don't bring anything that android already doesn't have.
As for security, it's a meme. Security is in the hands of the user.
