opportunist: so true

SlyIg: Many are confirming even without reading. Lol.

iPhone is only good in design and UI, nothing else.

wreckingball: Sure, other android phones have got all these features but how many have got them all in one package? That's what makes Apple stand out!

goldfish80:
You have an iPhone 6?

mickyarams:

HTC One M8, LG g range, Samsung galaxy phones etc.... beats Apple hands down spec for spec. Just read all the tech reviews. It seems you apple fans are paying just for the apple logo on an outdated plastic crap.

seunlayi: why the high price?

texazzpete: In 2010, Android fanboys insisted they would buy Android phones because Android = Choice and Choice was "good for the consumer"

In 2014, Android fanboys are still happy with choice...as long as you choose only Android

As with most of these kind of write-up, this is childish analysis.

Not only have the iPhone flagships held the performance edge over many Android flagships in the first few years, it also tries to insinuate that Apple described any of these so called 'features' mentioned here as 'magical'

Here's the key difference I see here

1. Android fanboys obsess over specs by looking at paper numbers. iPhones deliver the performance advantages with more efficient chipsets. Which is why the 1.2Ghz iPhone 5S trounced every single Android phone of 2013, including those sporting 1.9Ghz Snapdragon 800 chipsets.

2. There's a lot of talk about "technology seen since 2012" when referring to NFC. But that's been a largely useless radio for most Android users. Apple's never claimed the inclusion of NFC in the iPhone 6 was 'magical'. The user experience is what Apple says is magical. In one fell swoop, Apple's rolling out a service with the buy-in of every major bank in America and over 200,000 businesses. And in all cases, Apple Pay is MUCH simpler and faster in execution that Google Wallet.

naturally, the article fails to mention the ways android is playing catch up. For example, The smoothness iOS users have taken for granted for years, Google's still trying to address this. OEMs have had to tackle this by loading up on RAM but Google is still trying to handle this in code. We had Project Butter, then the lower memory requirement of Kitkat, and now a comprehensive rewrite/reskin with the upcoming Android L

You also see significant efforts being made to ensure OEMs can provide updates for customers. The vast majority of Tecno users in Nigeria will NEVER be able to use Android Wear smartwatches because they require Android 4.3. Most are stuck on 4.1 or 4.2. HTC's One X and One X+ from 2012 for example will not receive Android 4.3. Not only is Google playing catch up here, updates tend to trickle out very slowly to the OEMs.
in contrast, every iOS owner since 2011 (4S and above) is able to upgrade to iOS8, irrespective of carrier.

Other areas are numerous. Google still remain behind in closing the app gap among the hot new apps, GPU performance on most Android flagships lag behind, Camera performance on most Android flagships are an inferior experience, fingerprint reader tech and ease of use is miles behind. Security wise, Android is miles behind. play Store usually has a much bigger malware problem than the App Store and the slow update rollout means some vulnerabilities take ages to be patched out in most phones.

Both sides have their pros and cons. Both have unmissable features. So i did the best thing and got a Galaxy S5 and an iPhone 5S. Best of both worlds
