Android Is Definitely Superior To Ios - User's Experience. by Elxandre(m): 5:15pm On Dec 14, 2022
I have been playing around with my brother's IPhone 14 pro and these are my observations.
The idea of Apple's IPhone being better than android is simply a marketing phenomenon
Hear me.
Obviously all phones do similar stuff nowadays anyway. A tech inclined person could find a way to bypass the bottlenecks on ios to achieve most things albeit with several jump arounds and compromises, so I could definitely live with iPhone if I have to.

Functionality wise, the iPhone is a joke and a testament to the Power of the American culture being able to impose any narrative on the world.
Imagine not being able to monitor your downloads in your notifications drop down or not being able to see actual progress of your downloads on the app store?

The various browsers are all glorified safari themes due to being forced to use only webkit engine.
Compare this to Android where Chrome, Firefox, etc all look like their desktop equivalents. You can even run Chrome extensions on Android if you use the right chromium browsers.
Summarily browsing the web is a better experience on Android.

I appreciate the sandboxed approach in terms of security but windows phone OS was also sandboxed but could at least connect to computers to copy files or even quickly share documents by Bluetooth so what are we talking.

The so called navigation gestures not being universal on iOS is a bit annoying too compared to Android where a back swipe works on any app.

The only thing Apple has going for it in my opinion is the video quality and ecosystem, which is brilliant anyway. Samsung has something similar going though with "Link to Windows" which can even open any app on your laptop. You can even make calls from your laptop or copy and paste text and images between both devices.

AirDrop which apple brags about is nearly matched by nearbyshare, even though Google is abysmal with marketing and no one knows about it undecided

My s21 ultra is still blazing fast after over a year so I don't know about this so called android lag.

Another thing is the perceived societal value the Apple brand carries, and subsequently the resale value which is only a bit decent with Samsung and Google pixel on the Android side.

I was really tempted to try switch to the iPhone 14 pro max but I now see it would probably be a downgrade from my S21 ultra.

"Less is more" ideology of apple is clever psychological marketing aimed at selling incompetence.
If Apple was as fully featured as Android believe me, they'd laugh at Android. grin

Hoping the S23 ultra brings better video though.

You tell no lies, android fanboys always looking for a reason to say why they are better, but iOS fanboys don’t really care about what android fanboys think,
they’ll still buy and enjoy their devices without complaining.
If you like android, buy android and enjoy
If you like iOS buy iOS and enjoy.

Each OS has its strength and weaknesses. Blanket statements about one being better or inferior to the other makes no sense. To each its own. Folks should use whatever works for them.

You're used to iOS that's why.
The average user doesn't have access to jailbreak.

Android devices is an open way to different exotic viruses and malware! Their App Store is filled with different apps that can access your root etc. Not to mention the viruses and loanshark movements.

In conclusion, you cannot compare a man and a god!

I don't see the need for the comparison

It's 2022 no one does this anymore,simply use what you are cool with and go with that .In my case I use both and I can say they all have thier perks, apple offer more streamline fluid experience with respect to its amazing ecosystem[ if you get a hold of its macbook,watch and others], it's way better in video too..on the other hand android are for the geeks cus it gives you access to a many gimmicks and mods that can help tweak your phone to what you want..

So I'll just simply say

Whatever rocks your boat!!!

Many of these phones are under rated cuz of name. Besides once u use rugged smartphones once u wont want to use a regular phone again. I have an oukitel k7 that's over 4 years now.

Imagine that joy of having a phone that will fall from ur hand and u wont panic

Useless argument, one that’s dead. It’s about choice not hype

Android users steady try to downplay the worth of the iPhone but we all know who’s boss. If you prefer the android, that’s fine but don’t try to make others look stupid for preferring iPhones.

Until you roll out your own phone and operating system for us to use and vet, stop trying to ridicule the amazing creation called the iphone.

You’re just a consumer at the bottom of the food chain and contributed nothing into the creation of the phone you’re using so stop taking glory for your preference for it.

As amazing as the Benz is, there are loads of people who don’t dig it and prefer Toyota; Reason: CHOICE

Please use your phone and allow us to rest.

AC bitter as Guinness stout is, some people still prefer it to Heineken

Stop judging A with the standards of B. We like the iOS, you can’t force iOS to have Android features to suit your desires.

Why will you like iPhone when your account balance is like a radio FM? The security, the ecosystem, the perceived class and resale value is the exact reason people go for it. For your info, I am an android user. No sentiments here.

You need to dead this mentality. You think someone using a Samsung s21 can't afford an iPhone? Funny and annoying at the same time.

Having switched from a mere mid range Samsung (Galaxy A50), to Iphone 14 Pro Max, I can’t agree less with you. Based on functionality and versatility, top rated android phones trump over iphones. Apple has a good marketing strategy, modelling their phones as a premium and elite brand. This creates a fear of missing out in people and they all want to join the bandwagon. I still use my Samsung for so many things, especially my Zoom meetings where I have to split my screen and take notes on the other side.

PS: for those citing money as the reason people use android phones, note that Samsung premium phones are more expensive to buy and maintain. I noticed when people compare apple to android, they consider mid range and smaller brands in android. It doesnt work that way.
