jomoh:The big reason people with the budget go for iPhone and stick with it is because of all media buzz iPhone generates and also the reputation of being "classy". When Apple starts making cheaper phones people will drift to iPhone initially to get the experience. But after awhile the excitement will wear off and things will balance like 50 - 50 market share between Apple and Android. |

ZUBY77:You're the own who sees an argument. I was only correcting someone. And can you guys ever talk without insulting? The funny thing is I know your story of how you survived by going to Germany to seek asylum. And you call me an illiterate? Since you're educated why did you not get a degree and get a job? |

Ontarget: I think I disagree with you. iPhone actually is created to target those high class people. reason being that a rich busy business man don't care about phone rooting to be able to do some things. if he gets tired of the phone or the phone is not doing what he wants, he gets another one. the real fact is that those high class people don't need all those. if they need a good photograph they get a photographer to make a photoshot. if they need more space for storage, they get an Apple system. if they need a song they buy it in iTunes (them how much is it to them). they see a video they like, they go to iTunes, they need an app, they go to app store iPhone gives you simplicity with class. it is designed to make you life simple not complicated. you want to charge an iPhone, you don't even have to look at the charging port to insert it. even when you're waisted or in the middle of your sleep you can plug in your charger. that is how simple they want to make your life. right now iPhone is the main protagonist of cordless earphone. what is most important to high class people is the privacy of their data and iPhone is the most secure mobile device you can get anywhere today not even virus affects it. one thing I hate about android is it's instability. you buy an android in the US you get to Nigeria to unlock it and boom, it doesn't connect to 3G or higher network. only 2G. from iPhone you know what to expect. no real business man that values his time has the time to go through a tutorial on how to do something on his new phone. you stop using a Samsung android phone to get new HTC one that looks cool only for you to have to start a new learning process to know how the phone works. who has that time. in spite of all the unnecessary rubbish added to android to attract it's users, there's still nothing important an android really has over an iPhone. 1 Like |

PhonePlanet look at it One of the strong points of Android has always been the level of customization it allows. While Apple wants to keep control of default apps in order to maintain a homogenous software and hardware experience, Android lets you pick your own level of customization. This extends all the way from simple things like live wallpapers, to alternative keyboards, to custom ROM installs.Detractors will always say only hardcore geeks care about this level of customization, but at the shallow end of the pool this isn’t true. Plenty of iOS users loved it when Apple started allowing third-party keyboards and basic widgets, and that on its own is proof that this flexibility is what people want.Some manufacturers are even allowing complex hardware customization. Motorola has Moto Maker, LG has replaceable leather back plates, as does Xiaomi. Those are just a few examples of something Apple will never do for you. Consider yourself lucky to have champagne gold and rose gold available… that is pretty revolutionary for Apple. Customization that's my favorite part of Android devices which is something you can't get on ios I hope i made sense Peace |

PhonePlanet: Personally, I believe that for most people, there's no one phone that has everything that a person would like in a phone. At the end of the day it depends on what you feel gives you the best of both worlds. If every android phone released each year was a samsung S series, or even made only by samsung, IOS would probably be at least almost as popular if not even more popular (that was the reason why samsung wave phones weren't so popular despite being as customizable - not everyone wants to be stuck to one phone vendor); but because of the variety of devices, people who have a low budget can buy a cheap android phone, those who want certain specs would buy phones with those specs. When the OP was talking about variety, that's what he meant. PhonePlanet: I think you miss a major reason a lot of people use android. It isn't about fixing an issue, it's about getting your phone to do what you want it to do the way you want it to do - not necessarily the way the manufacturer says it should be done. I for one won't use an iphone as my main phone even if I got one for free, why? Because it would frustrate me to no end, I don't have the kind of choice I have with android. For the same reason, I won't use the windows phone. Besides software updates are overrated. I currently have a phone running cyanogenmod that can be updated that can be upgraded to the version that corresponds to android 7 but i'm not going to upgrade to it yet; why? Because there is a particular system framework that is important to me and until it supports android 7, i'll pass. Agreed with an Iphone, I can get the latest update; but I hope I can just as easily go back to the previous version (I did that when I first got marshmallow on my phone until I got another update that worked better for me) PhonePlanet: I think the article was actually more about which is more popular , rather than which is better and why it is so. That said, I don't fully agree with everything the OP posted either |
Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by PhonePlanet(m): 2:20pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
blackweaver: 1. it seems like what you wrote is in defence to the op but what ypu said is actually diffrent what what the op said. of course that was the point he was tryin to make and i already corrected him. and you quote me to tell me the same thing i already said "people prefrence" so really what are you tryna do? 2. can you please givee an actual example of what you want to do with android the way you want and not the way the manufacturer said it should be. that cant be done on an iphone? the problem here is that like you said, you have and will never use an iphone, therefore, you're talking from a biased point. i have used all, iPhone, Andriod and im currently using Windows. i can state the advantages and disadvateges of all. i am not baised because im a fan of non. and you are a fan of android. 3. more popular is just the title of tread. but the content of the tread, the op was stating the upsides of android and downsides of iphone. thats advantages and disadvantages. i can write a full article on why amdroid is more popular without metioning the iphone. |

oluwadaemilola:I'm not using an iPhone. I'm using a Lumia 730. The fact I defended iPhone does not mean I'm using am iPhone. I have used all the OS. And I am not biased in comparison cos I actually speak about what I know. Rather than what I heard like some tech people. |

Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by blackweaver(m): 5:26pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
PhonePlanet: There's a particular way I like my phone looking; for instance, my home screen. I group my main apps a certain way, and for the rest, there's the app drawer. Yes I know the iphone has folders and all, but it's not enough. I have only 2 home screens and I want it that way. And I don't want all the icons cluttering my screen either PhonePlanet: If you read my post properly, you would see that I said even if I did get an Iphone, it would never be my main phone. I didtn't say I would never use an iphone. And actually if I was to say the OS i'm a fan of, it would be Symbian, not android. PhonePlanet: more popular than what? There are essentially 2 smartphone oses, the others are virtually nonexistent |
Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by PhonePlanet(m): 6:42pm On Dec 05, 2016 |
blackweaver: I said "when it comes to customization, android has it" Check my first post you quoted. 2. Symbian really? Your choice tho 3. Yes more popular than iPhone. But do you know the first reason Android is more popular than iPhone? It is "Android is open source". And android being open source is not an advantage to the consumer over the iphone. That's is what I mean. But the OP was clearly stating advantages of android over the iPhone. Like saying android has multiple connection options and iPhone does not have Bluetooth. |
Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by blackweaver(m): 9:42am On Dec 06, 2016 |
PhonePlanet: Not sure I agree with the notion that android is more popular because it's open source. Symbian was open source before it died out, meego was open source too. Linux is an open source os, yet windows is far more popular. I would say more of Google's ability to attract vendors to make android phone (which is where galaxy wave failed ), plus ease of development for the platform (which is where Symbian failed), plus ease of user customization (which is a major reason why windows phones never quite made it). Yes I know lack of apps was also a factor, but apps are a chicken and egg situation. The more users you have, the more likely you are to have apps. And the more apps you have, the more likely you are to have users Of course it also helped that google wasn't actually in the smartphone business, so they weren't in competition with their vendors |
Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by blackweaver(m): 9:51am On Dec 06, 2016 |
One other thing, the notion that the existence of Bluetooth, and those other connectivity features and even the presence of a memory card is an advantage is relative - especially in the main markets targeted by google and apple. Nowadays a lot of people rarely use Bluetooth for file transfer, it's so slow anyway. |
Re: 6 Reasons Android Will Always Be More Popular Than Apple's Ios by PhonePlanet(m): 2:12pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
blackweaver: listen to me. in the area of windows, windows and mac came out before linux. windows was distrubuted to 3rd party OEMs that is why Windows became popular, along side apple mac os. linux came out much later. like sailfish or tizen os now than android and ios is already popular. so forget pc but how Andriod became popular than IOS? when apple released the iPhone in 2007 and latter called the OS IOS, every phone maker was looking for an OS to put in there phone to put up against the iPhone. then google annonced android os in 2008. normally each company would had continue to build its own OS from scratch would will take much longet than even 2009/2010. or since Android was free and "open source" and was built to some extent. these OEM can get android free! and edit it (open source) to use on thier own phones. THIS IS HOW ANDROID BECAME POPULAR! android did not become popular yesterday. how ever some companies like nokia did not buy the idea. the went ahead to build thier own OS - meego which was debut on the nokia N9 in 2011. but meego was discontinued. and symbian was not a top class mobile OS. like android and IOS. it was only made to look more modern like these OS's with symbian belle. same for blackberry with blackberry 7.0 OS. until blackberry completed thier OS Blackberry 10 in 2012/2013. which was also discontinued last year 2015. the story is toooo much to type. so i expect you to try and understand with my few words. but if you dont. you can go online and read about all the mobile os and every related article you can find. or drop you whats app number so i can send you a VN. |
