5 Reasons Why Android Still Beats The Iphone by Ladimir77: 5:50pm On Oct 03, 2021
1. Better values
If you want an iPhone, you have eight choices: the $349 iPhone SE, the $449 iPhone 6s, the $549 iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7, the $669 iPhone 7 Plus, the $699 iPhone 8, the $799 iPhone 8 Plus, and the $999 iPhone X. While the 4-inch iPhone SE may sound like a bargain in comparison to its big brothers, you can find a really great Android phone that sells for less than $349 and comes with a much bigger screen.

2. 3.5mm headphone jacks
All phones since the iPhone 7 lack the 3.5mm audio jack that lets you connect a pair of standard headphones. If you want to listen to music on your Apple handset, you'll have to use a dongle, connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones or buy a wired set that uses the company's proprietary Lightning connector.

3. USB Type-C charging ports with fast charging
If you want to charge an iPhone or connect it to your computer for any reason, you'll need a cable with Apple's proprietary Lightning port. Unfortunately, other than iPhones and iPads, no devices charge over Lightning, so you can't share the same set of cables with your other gear. This is ironic, because Apple's MacBooks charge via USB-C.

4. Customization, widgets and skins
Like a father in a 1950s sitcom, Apple thinks it knows what's best for you, no matter what you need or want, so it locks down the UI and offers fewer customizations than Google does. You're limited to a few select widgets. But with Android, you can choose from thousands of widgets that live on your home or lock screens and provide everything from music playback to weather and note taking, but not gonna lie official android website https://www.android.com/ looks much worse than their competitors

5. Many more hardware options, including rugged phones
At one time, Google's marketing tagline for Android was "Be Together. Not the Same." That makes sense, because the platform appears on hundreds of different phone models around the world. You can get Android phones with giant screens, small screens, modular add-ons, QWERTY keyboards and replaceable batteries.

I understand what op is saying.....
First, saying Android vs IOS makes it look like all Android phone vs all apple products, iPad, iPhone and the rest....
The general name we call smartphone, aside from iPhone is Android... Only if IOS is creating another smartphone entirely, just like Tecno, samsung, xiaomi etc are all under Android (using the os), other phone manufacturer could probably use the ios(that's if apple will free)....
So what am saying in general is that... Apple owns iOS and all smartphone, smartwatch etc using the ios... Where as Google owns Android, but not all smartphone, other smartphone just use the Android OS....

So op is right comparing Android with iPhone, because iPhone uses the ios, all other smartphone uses the Android.... So iPhone is representing the ios here....


Thanks

lord knows I’ve tried with the customization aspect. To have beautiful wallpapers and not be able to arrange your icons so that the wallpaper can shine is a buzz kill. ios is good and has its strengths but waking everyday to the homescreen is depressing; even with the widgets which still can’t be placed anywhere. In the end we all adapt to how apple sees fit

iPhone is like a rich Nigerian that is always on its own and getting criticized by poor people.


iPhone is not doing competition with android. But android users will not allow it to rest. Typical Nigerian way.

It's always "reasons why Android is better than iPhone" and not the other way round, that's how you should know which one is really better .

Here's the main reason...

" Open source "

Open source gives you full access to tweak without limitations.

No doubt iOS has top-notch security but it's overhyped and overpriced.

Not a fan of iOS because of its limitations.
Very useless OS

Both OS are equally matched ...
Most new Android devices lack the headphone jack
Most new IOS devices support fast charging
