Why Android Is The Top Os.. by tegak10: 9:56am On Apr 28, 2015
After i write this post am sure no ios user can defend their overpriced product...
1. Iphones have a smaller battery and they take longer time to charge... You can check phonearena to confirm.

2. Iphone does not support otg.. I.e connecting ur flashdrive or hard drive and reading it on your phone.

3. setting ringtone. To set a ringtone on an idevice u need to go through itunes and convert the song to the required format.

4. Ios has begun copying some android features i.e widgets... and samsung's multi window feature which will be added in ios9.

5. Unavailability of hacked games... Download mortal kombat x ,wwe immortals, or robocop to see why u want hacked games..

6. the things u can do on a rooted droid is far greater than what you can do on a jailbroken iphone.. E.g running 2 or more os on your droid, similar to windows that lets u choose which os u want to boot into.

7. More Apps- though the apple store has more apps officially there are apps that never make it to the google play store. You can check 9apps and other third party stores to confirm.

8.way overpriced- it costs $263 to make an iphone6+ 128gb while it costs $293 to make a samsung s6 edge 64gb.

9.iphones are no longer the kings of mobile camera... Recent devices like samsung s6 and note 4 have better cameras.

10.if ure concerned about getting updates first buy a nexus device...

Then good for you. Enjoy your android phone and leave iPhone users to enjoy their phone. It's a sign of inferiority complex to keep shouting that your product is better than your neighbors.

You will never see an iPhone user making this lame comparison and they're quite content with their device and there are millions upon millions of contented iPhone users unlike some Android users who always need to compare their phones to other's in order to make them feel better about themselves and boost their self-esteem.

I have a problem with you phone new guys of the last 2 years.

If you have chosen to love phone and gadgets the first rule you must understand is
"there is no such thing as perfect phone or OS "

The stuffs you stated on why android is better are the same exact reasons why some people hate android.

Now this is how an IOS user thinks

tegak10:
After i write this post am sure no ios user can defend their overpriced product...
1. Iphones have a smaller battery and they take longer time to charge... You can check phonearena to confirm.
Android has larger batteries because they use larger power. A 1800mah on an iPhone can last about 5 more hours than the same 1800mah on any Android phone. U too can ask phonearena why a wp HTC m8 last more hours than an android HTC m8 when they have EXACTLY the same specs


2. Iphone does not support otg.. I.e connecting ur flashdrive or hard drive and reading it on your phone.
That's because apple considers security as priority, by normal standard this can make your device contact virus. And security is a big deal to some pepole to.


3. setting ringtone. To set a ringtone on an idevice u need to go through itunes and convert the song to the required format.
Let's talk. Only android users actually need to change their ringtone. IPhone and blackberry has the best pre installed ringtones. Android offers total rubbish


4. Ios has begun copying some android features i.e widgets... and samsung's multi window feature which will be added in ios9.
Android copied iPhone "sign in before you open a factory reset" with already released lollipop 5.0.2, u are taking about a non released version here. And b4 Samsung had multi window (which is a samsung feature and not android feature BTW) windows RT was snapping windows side by side.


5. Unavailability of hacked games... Download mortal kombat x ,wwe immortals, or robocop to see why u want hacked games..
So we are free to say iPhone users are legal and are law abiding citizens, while android users are illegal, thief's, wicked (cos programmers spend thier time and money to build an app and get nothing for it), heartless, stupiiiid, I don't know.....


6. the things u can do on a rooted droid is far greater than what you can do on a jailbroken iphone.. E.g running 2 or more os on your droid, similar to windows that lets u choose which os u want to boot into.
IOS is great without jailbreak, android is stupiiiid without rooting. There is no reason why an iPhone user would want to jailbreak his iPhone? But android users must have one reason or the other, maybe they want to upgrade their OS with custom ROM, cos every android OEM has to work out their own update for every single phone, therefore not more than 5 of its thousands phone get update b4 the next update its released


7. More Apps- though the apple store has more apps officially there are apps that never make it to the google play store. You can check 9apps and other third party stores to confirm.[quote]
Both official and non official, iPhone has more apps, this is counting reasonable apps alone, cos launchers, widgets and icon pack are always counted among Google apps


[quote]8.way overpriced- it costs $263 to make an iphone6+ 128gb while it costs $293 to make a samsung s6 edge 64gb.
I'm I the one seeing double cos from what you wrote Sammy is more expensive.


9.iphones are no longer the kings of mobile camera... Recent devices like samsung s6 and note 4 have better cameras.
You should be ashamed that with an 8mp camera, iPhone is still locking down competition even with Sony 20mp and Sammy 16mp, iPhone camera app is better than Google camera, and wp had the best camera phones.


10.if ure concerned about getting updates first buy a nexus device...
IOS 7 was released. IPhone 5s, 5, 4, 3gs got it that same day. No delay.
Android 4.4 KitKat was released, came with nexus 5, nexus 4 got it months after. No update for galaxy nexus. They said they can't update phones past 48 months. Yes.


So next time don't go about comparing
Just take what you like
One man's meat is another man's poison

Bro, iPhone is for the low esteemed people. People who class themselves by their phones. That is like a brick compared to android devices of same price range, talk about the one plus one vs iPhone20((Imaginary by the way)). Most iPhone users just use their phones to whatsapp and play bogus games like snake because high quality games won't install for free as that is system restriction.

Overall, if your someone interested in computing you would avoid anything Apple. Better go for Samsung Tizen OS than that shit. grin grin grin

Ios gets exclusive titles it the highest possible graphics settings. Do u know what mobile games are? Do u know it's because of Pirates like u that most games require 247 online connection before we can play on any platform now?
Games that are not cross platform like infinity blade 3 don't require such. I personally purchased it on sale for. $3. I bought mc5 for $6! All u do is steal and ya. Cheapskate android user.

I think he's saying that, Cost of production of an s6 is higher than that of an iPhone. Yet, apple products are costlier. Hence, his reason for saying it's overpriced and they are ripping the public off and making unjust profits.

iPhone is so closed source it starting to look like Microsoft. Using some crap programming language, you have to pay to post your apps on Apple Store even after registration, but it's free on google store. Even Microsoft are becoming opensource slowly, look windows 10 updates are going to be free for anyone using windows7 or windows 8. It's going to be running both Android and iOs apps also their own windows apps with no editing.

Well you see. iPhone OS is left alone with it's selfishness. Soon it will die unless they change their mind frame, who knows, Microsoft might overtake them in the market with the way things are going.

I said starting to become, doesn't mean it is. By the way the new Windows 10 supports android apps by default, so tecnically since Android is open source so is WIndows in this particular sector of android, not to mension it can also run that closed source shitty iOS
Re: Why Android Is The Top Os.. by martineverest(m): 9:36am On May 01, 2015
Oga,windows 10 doesnt support android app and ll never....windows ll never be a sub-android.u should realise dat windows is the greatest and biggest os in the world,not even mac os,linus or android re close to dat......the fact the microsoft launched 'project astoria' to help developers easily develope windows app from already-made android app doesnt make it support android apps.rather,it convert the android code into windows code using windows API.the app automatically bcomes windows app with no android origin..this method is not same with what Blackberry and amazon kindle or cyanogen dat uses AOSP

Your correcting yourself...
Anyways, as you said, apk's will be run on windows 10 via some conversion process directly. No need for developer to right the same app in c# to run it in windows anymore.

Re: Why Android Is The Top Os.. by Nobody: 7:56am On May 05, 2015
i usually hate commenting on these kind of fora especially when a fandroid is just talking without analysis. windows OS will not go open source. it is called making it easier for developers to port their apps onto the windows OS and not running an android app on windows OS.

i cant believe that after all these years an android user will still claim security, where? at kirikiri?

lets b frank, android is only good for customizing, even the apps we claim come to android always come first to iphone, and the app quality on iphone as compared to android apps are way superior in every aspect.

windows mobile and ios hold far better security than android will ever take it or leave it.

someone said something about paying for ur app to be displayed on the ios market. well it is a necessary evil. y? simple. nothing comes free without a compromise. take a look at the google stre and tell me all those apps are not either clones or worms waiting to eat on ur data.

Bro you know what Linux is? You know What Debian is? You know what Ubuntu is? Well they are the top secure OS's in the whole world. They allow the user to do whatever they want with the OS, boost hardware performance, modify kernels etc. Now iOS and Windows? Windows is the least secure OS in the world in everything, Google it, or if you think google will biase your results Bing it. iOS is just some shit version of Linux that is closed source and once you buy it its how you have it, can't modify shit on any Apple device or OS, this is false security as people can still gain access to your files via internet, networks, man in middle attacks and others. Now for the punch line!!!

Remember how I started this post? well if you googled anything or "Binged" (if you hate Google that much), about those 3 OS's you will find out they are the most used by the computer Elite, the Hackers, the Programmers, the Inventors of pretty much anything in technology this days, ask Mark Zucks of Facebook if you need assist with some prove(unless you also hate facebook). Well Since you might be hating on Google and even if you Bing this next search I will right it will redirect you to google webpages. Google or Bing or Yahoo or Ask whatever just search "How to build Android Rom from Source". Just go through the process, you might not understand a thing but I am sure you will reach the part where the requirements is Ubuntu OS, Debian OS, or any other Linux OS, well why? Hmmm..... Maybe security? BING BING BING!! we have a winner. Yes that's why.

And if you have reached this far I am amazed if you will ever again touch WIndows OS or anything apple again in your life but here it goes: You see Android is based of Ubuntu, which is Based of Debian which uses the Linux Kernel, now Linux is the most open source yet secure kernel out their. Why you think Apple use it in all their devices OS? but with some stupid modifications and useless restrictions, and Windows well windows live in their own world and think this is still the year 2000 or something, they hate anything anything that ships with their OS that isn't from Microsoft that's why they invented the new Android emulator that is to ship with the Windows 10 under their own rules.

Please please read this post again before replying to it. grin grin grin
