You can't use just one Android phone to judge. Sony is very poor in optimization and calibration. Most OEMs use Sony sensor for their cameras yet they produce better pictures than Sony. Compare the iPhone 6+ camera with Nexus 6. The latter kills it while Samsung Note 4 murders both phones.

They are all great devices

Lol, bro not that I'm mouthing off but I'm a gadget enthusiast.forget that Sony doesn't have a large share of the Android market but believe me, they make some of the best Android devices. I have neither used the Nexus 6 nor Note 4 so I wouldn't want to make an uninformed comment.

But remember that iPhone 6+ has just 1GB RAM, dual core processor and 8MP rear camera.

Apple decided to stick to those numbers. They wouldn't have introduced the 128GB if not for DROID devices supporting 128GB storage via memory card. The next iPhone won't be 8pixels or have a GB ram.

Sony makes one of the best yes, but they are behind Samsung, LG, HTC hence plans to sell their mobile division.

I believe Apple decided to introduce higher storage capacity because of the advancement in the MSD technology and not because of Android. You really need to get yourself an iPhone to really understand the technological marvel that piece of device is. I started using an iPhone for the first time 2 months ago and to be honest, I use to have the same opinion as you.

Sony being behind Samsung and HTC isn't because Samsung and HTC makes better phones! For example, Xperia Z2 and HTC M8 were released almost the same time but the Z2 trashes M8 in almost all indices of comparison. Why Sony isn't popular is because they aren't so aggressive in marketing like HTC and Samsung.

In other words android may be refer to as Goodluck Jonathan who will give you the fullness of democracy as android will give you control over what you paid for,thereby giving you the right of ownership in its fullness,
while Iphone may be refer to be Buhari who will deny you,your right of citizenship as Iphone will give you limited access to your gadget,

in conclusion android is the smartest gadget ever rocket and will always dance shoki till iphone tells us one convinceing feature it get that will make us vote

i mean purchase its product.

Ohh.. You started using an iPhone for the first time. Lemme guess, it's the new iPhone and it's running iOS8, yet it's been compared to devices that came earlier with less powerful chipset. Xperia Z2 doesn't trash M8 in any aspect besides the camera and it's cos of the ultra pixel gimme HTC stubbornly continue to implement. HTC M8 was the best smartphone of 2014.

Pick up a note 4 and see things for yourself. Mind you, it's running KK.

HTC isn't aggressive in marketing.

Splendid! Couldn't have come up with a better rebuttal myself.
I used to have the same opinion as the OP until I decided to try an iPhone and now, I hardly touch my Xperia Z2.

The fluidity of the OS is awe inspiring and the seamless integration of the hardware and software dumbfounding. Hardware optimization is excellent. Else how can you explain why an iPhone 6+ with just 8MP rear camera having far better picture quality than Sony Xperia Z2 of 20MP?

Each OS has its selling point, stick to what works for you. I still respect Android OS for it's flexibility but an iPhone is an engineering marvel, don't criticize blindly.
Thank God we still have sane people like you and the guy you quoted. What is wrong with sticking with what works for you? People are just envious because they can't purchase an iPhone, and so they beef up people who do. The same thing that happens to Techno users. With a due respect to Techno fans in the house please. Techno users are always against other Android OEMs, especially the high end ones. Why? Simply because they can't afford such a premium device, they get all beefed up with it.

Every OS has its selling point. Besides, it's just too wrong to compare iPhones to Android. You compare iPhones to whatever OEM you choose. Or rather, iOS to Android. And in doing the iOS to Android comparisons, hardware or OEMs should be outta the question.

Imagine comparing Apple's iPhone to different OEMs in the Android ecosystem. It's wrong!

Anywayz, the OP failed to point out that Apple runs its OS 64bit chipset, at least from the 5s. When it came out, all others said it was a gimmick without having >3Gb RAM and all that crap. Today, they are having problems with overheating on Snapdragon's latest chipset (810) which should be shipping as a 64bit SoC. Even Sammy is facing issues as they will have to stick to their slower in-house Exynos chipset for their next flagship, the Galaxy S6.

He also failed to point out that mobile payment like Google Wallet was nowhere to be found until Apple introduced Apple Pay. I think I'd rather be late to the party, but be the best, rather than arrive early with nothing to write home about.

Infact, there shouldn't be any argument on this. If we wanna compare @OP, then let's do it properly. iPhones to an exclusive OEM, or iOS to Android. That way, there won't be overlapping of points.

threadstone:


When it comes to being lagfree. The ios is better. When it comes to firmware updates for devices, the ios is better. (Iphone 4s released in 2011 has ios 8 released in 2014) apple wont tell u to get a new phone to enjoy the new os features like android does.
The initial purpose of flashing custom roms was to imput new features ported from the latest rom build and even with that, it is not 100% perfect as some features wont work. I used cm 10-cm12 so i believe i know what im saying.
When it comes to being secure, the ios is better, you will never hear of a malware, virus loaded on an iphone.

The appstore is better than playstore ( YES I SAID IT). Every app that goes in the appstore is being verified by an apple employee, unlike playstore where a mumu developer will post a crappy app that may or may not work.
Even the appstore has better exclusive apps than playstore.

Shall i mention piracy is rampant on android ecosysystem too. An app developer releases a new app. In weeks wack developers copy the game plan, codes and re engineer them and release too.
Temple run snowden run etc.

Youre less supscetible to an attack on ios than on an android.

The proud mentality that android is better seems like a farce. Thats why we see threads posting iphone killers, beasts etc because they run android they think theyre better.

I would rather stick to a phone where its 1.2 mega pixel is sharper than a 20.7mp android camera. Its dual core is faster than an octacore android device.

Customization: jailbreak and see the future.
When you have an os that gives it all, there is no need to use custom roms

Shall I continue
God bless your mother.

Nonsense write up. Just because you can't do something on an iPhone doesnt mean it doesn't do it.

iPhones take screen shots

iPhones can run multiple apps at the same time you can see

They are other ways of saving songs to an iPhone wchich includes transferring from a pc

Iphones can open multiple emails on the same phone

Of course it will run .exe files. It's one software for all. You can switch between using a traditional keyboard and/or touch inputs. The OS is really polished on the desktop. Everything looks great i must confess! With multiple desktops, you don't have to worry about filling your desktops with icons, as you can switch between desktops at will.

Windows 10 is the future. Seriously!

custom roms is their not because the android doesn't give it all but because when we are bored of the all, we flash a new custom rom and start all over again... android users are never bored. and you should get yourself a great Android phone and not these chinese crap. android keeps winning the best phone award. lol and i bet you haven't even seen or used lollipop, lol. that is the update that sent ios home. the lollipop is lag free , crash free, and super fast. i am using sense 6 lollipop on my htc one m8 and God, talk about smooth Nd fast, if you want a video demo, i can make for you to see.. lol. android gives me all. anyone who gets an android is less bothered about security, because android is all about fun, tweaks customization, one can simply do anything with droid. appstore better than playstore? haha i laugh. android is just so great. their is a reason why android was the os chosen to be shot outerspace so as to monitor if their are lives out. Google all this before posting please. anything that would ever make me use an iphone again is if android cease to exists. android the ecosystem of all ages. best phone in the whole world 2014 was htc one m8, 2014 was htc one m7, 2012, was samsung galaxy s3, 2011 was samsung galaxy s2. all android phones lol. android just rules.
Best phone? By whom? Lollipop with its bugs is crap at the moment. Fantastic idea streamlining the OS and all, but with all the bugs in it at this juncture, don't even brag yet.

The POSTER of dis write-up has few knowledge about the features of Apple Products.
U'r correct about some of their restrictions, but there'r more to it, u need the help of Apple die hard user to educate u more.
That aside ave u tried jailbroken apple product? tho am not recommendin it to u, but Cydia & other apps wil give u a second tot.
Tho Apple Products are complicated 4 d newbies, but they r not of d same measure & standard to others.
Be it security, memory size, battery duration etc.

5. So i can like a song someone is playing but i can't collect the song until i use itunes.

9. Google map is far better; More detailed, and its update is faster than ios. "google' grin wink it and see reviews about google map vs ios map

10. The op talked about varieties and not only pattern lock... Is ios unhackable?

13. So you agree with op then... thanks for admitting.

Where a 1900mAH battery would last u for 24 hours 3g usage... shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked Battery on ios is a lie on 3g, even when its full charged, try playing 3d-games on iphone 5s and see if it would take you up to 3hrs
Battery have being a big issue for phone makers because they forgot to improve on battery span when improving on phone designs/apps
