hehe deluded girls like you keeping have falling for this . Dem don use iPhone fvck una thinking its the most expensive phone and owning it means you are a big boy grin grin.. Lemme tell you something this morning, iPhone is an overpriced mid ranger. Meanwhile do you know the prices of BB Porch, Samsung S6 and S6 Edge, HTC M9, LG G4 et al? The price isn't a thing, its all about choices and priorities. Riding on the most expensive car doesn't mean you are the richest.

Go check out Mark Zukerburg's garage
Go check out Lil Wayne's garage





So why are you now vexing? grin

Don't worry your android phone will soon run out of storage space, even calculator application it will not download. grin

No basis of comparison, iPhone is the best mobile phone right now. I've been on android for 4years now, started from Galaxy S3, got frustrated withy the over bloated touch wiz, installed a custom cyanogen mod, still had a terrible lagging issue.

Out of frustration I upgraded to Galaxy S4, similar story, the only plus was the battery, the touch screen was not intuitive, always making typography mistakes, I had to upgrade to the HTC M8. The HTC did better overall, battery was top notch, typing was more responsive than the Samsungd.

Out of curiosity, got the iPhone 6, was stunned at the overall speed and user experience, the typing was way better than any of the Androids. Then the Galaxy S6 came out, I felt it naturally should be better than HTC M8, so I upgraded to Galaxy S6.

First impression was nice, the camera was great, the phone was very responsive, but that's the end of the good points. The thumbprint unlock is woeful, you have to place your hand in a particular way to unlock the screen, the brower had this glitch where while scrolling, sometimes it jumps or scroll in the opposite direction, typing was not as smooth as the iPhone, maybe the problem is with the Gorilla glass.

Let's face it, as a guy I hardly use the camera to take selfies and even at that, the iPhone camera is equally great (although the autofocus on the Galaxy S6 is better).

If the primary purpose of getting a powerful smartphone is to keep in touch while away from the computer, a need which requires typing a lot of the time, then the android platform is no match for the iPhone. As an heavy user who sometimes handle business emails on the go, the Iphone best suit the need for a dependable phone. Forget about the config on the android, at the end of the day what matters is the responsiveness and iPhone wins any day anytime.

I don't. Kno what yastick or benchmark you use in comparing the two but android is way more advance than the Iphone the Iphone 6 plus the highest iphone till date use 1g ram and a dual core. 1.4 processor even the camera is just a mere 8mp doesn't even support java compared to an andriod with 4g ram and octa core 1.6 processor with a 20mp camera but iphones is slightly stable and uses less memory but I will choose an andriod over a iphone any day any time cos of it open source nature.
the only stuff wonderful abt d iphone and which no android can beat till date is d gud processor even if it is low can still compete with sum high android processor and d os takes a lot of memory but na bb10 I love

When you start having battery, charging port, virus problems then you know that Iphone isn't just a phone but a solution.

I have used both and i tell you, an Iphone will serve you for more than 10years whereas an Android would give you 4 or more different problems within the space of 10 years.

Several other issues to name but a few, but the Yoruba people say "agba to l'omi 'nu, ki'n pa 'riwo".... Translated; "a valued container with good content doesn't make noise"

@ the emboldened some Nigerians are dumb and likes following. Celebs using it isn't a yardstick and besides when they say celebs, they mean American celebs. What phone do you expect them to use?
Samsung, LG(South Korea)
HTC(Taiwan)
Sony(Japan)

They will def use their home grown product which is the iPhone. They should watch Korean movies and check out the phones used in them, its usually Samsung and LG or other local products. No be us here wey we no dey value local products

Lol.... most Nigerians buy iPhone to feel among.. nothing else.... money for one plot of land for agbara I go use am buy phone.... tifiakwa!!!

@ the emboldened you are very wrong sir. The Samsung S6 is the best phone till date in all ramifications(tho its got a few issues and all phones got that). The thumbprint function isn't woeful, its works perfectly for me and you should also not that its yet to receive updates(updated version would better it)

Typing a lot. I don't know for you but typing on my S6 Edge is as swift as anything. One of the best keyboard out there is swiftkey and the newest sammy keyboard is done by the same company.

Kindly explain how business emails on the go is better on iPhone than Android? BB has always won in this department.

A phone still remains a phone and should not be underrated as long as it was inverted a phone... Just purchase a phone according to your taste and enjoy your phone. Meanwhile... I like the blackberry device, iphone device... Sorry not to mention android device since it ain't my taste... But still... a phone remains a phone... I rest my case here

Why should I as a user wait for an update to get the best out a thumbprint feature, when its touted as one of the special features of the S6? And remember, the S5 also had this issue and Samsung said the finger print is better on the S6, but the opposite is the case. I'm able to note this because I use the iPhone 6 and its more responsive and recognises my fingers irrespective the angle its placed in.

The business emails experience in this case is based on the typing responsiveness, not the overall architecture. Its downright frustrating having to correct typos every time on the Android, something i don't have to worry about on the iPhone. Its so bad that I only visit Nairaland on the android, anytime I need to reply to comments, I switch to the iPhone. Who needs the headache of having to switch every single time, because the UI is not intuitive..

You are pretty wrong. Your analysis is flawed. What the function of update? iPhone 6 debuted with iOS 8.0 and right now their recent update is 8.4 in between there were 8 or more updates. Apple should have considered it perfect without pushing updates and besides more updates more trouble/betterness of the device. Of course, Apple would surely work on the touch ID to make it more accurate. Users on 5.1.1 talked about the fingerprint being more accurate.

Typing on S6 Edge is so fast and swift without any problems at all and am still on 5.0.2.
