iPhones are not even expensive compare to Vertu Phones, hence, not an elite phone but an overhyped rigid phone rather.

hehe. don't mind that guy.

okay. whatelse

if I start pointing out tins exclusive to android. you'd just faint.

now just so you know...

and android running lollipop firmware cannot get infected with a virus without the user confirming an install script dat allows installation of such virus..

net surfing cannot and will not,, I repeat can never implant a virus or adware on your device. except by express permission from the device administrator. most of y'all shouting virus probably got tricked to installing one.. or via a generic apk that was modded wit a virus. (which you get wen downloading crack)

i think u regret why u bought iphone.
iphone is only good wit their camera, in which new android phones still beat.

oosibajo:
iPhone 6 has 1GB ram but faster than all 3GB android phones, iPhone 6 has 8 pixels cameras and rated the best camera compare to 13 & 16 pixels android phones, I phone doesn't sent out or receive any stuff because of security, Apple Store did not have antivirus app and its app is the best compare to android. Thousands of good app in Apple Store that are not available in play store for android users. I've been using it since January 2012 and I will continue to use it because is the best.

who rated iPhone 6 the best camera... the Samsung galaxy s6 trumps the iPhone in terms of picture quality, and there's also the xperia z5. or the s6 edge plus.

which apps plsss
just tell me.

and nooo. not cos of security. cos of piracy. they want you downloading all your songs paid from iTunes. and apps likewise.

about viruses. jailbreak your iPhone and go about downloading cracked apps from cydia, sooner or later you'd have to do a full restore. don't ask me why

if you want premium security.. there are premium android phones for that

I'd give you a cue, try the latest range Samsung galaxy or note series. knox certified.

airsaylongcon:
Even a jailbroken iPhone cannot compare with a ROMmed android. I like iPhone but droids trump it for usability

as innnnnn...
like y'all shud try out an android running custom aosp.
cyanogen mod, alliance et al.
you don't know what you've been missing

who wrote Android dont have good camera compared to apple?? ...have you tried sony products, my gawd. dont just go there

Apple Store can boast lots of app that you can't see in play store

Lol, for where? Android is popular, iOS is niche. Those who know know

ameynuJR:
salute u bro. I like this expression but this won't stop me from switching to iPhone if I had the chance.

yeah

Twitter is more en vogue than Facebook

JayKayMaybachz:
Android users are embracing the iPhone. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, 30 percent of new iPhone buyers had switched from an Android device in the July-to-September 2015 quarter. And this week, Cook reiterated that the trend is accelerating, saying: "We were blown away by the level of Android switchers that we had last quarter [October through December]. It was the highest ever by far."

As an avid Android user, I had never thought of switching, but was curious why others were jumping ship at higher rates. Was it the larger screens that debuted with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, finally bringing the iPhone to parity with Android phablets? Perhaps frustration over the lack of Android software updates?

I decided it was time to try iOS for myself. I removed the SIM card from my Moto X Pure and popped it into a brand-new iPhone 6S. I've used an iPhone on a few occasions for work purposes, but this would be the first time I was using an iPhone (albeit a temporary loaner) as my personal phone. That means not carrying my Android device with me for two months, which included a hectic week in Las Vegas for the CES trade show.

I switched from the Moto X Pure to the iPhone 6S for two months.

Josh Miller/CNET

I'll state one obvious thing right up front: both Android and iOS, at this point, are very mature operating systems. They're also, at this point, more similar than different from each other. And while I was moving from one high-end phone to another, I was focusing on software differences, not so much hardware ones, although I've included some below.


That said, here were the things that I noticed most when I went from Android to iOS.

Where Apple wins

Timely software updates

I started using the iPhone in early December and since then received two software updates (iOS 9.2 and iOS 9.2.1) with a third set to arrive shortly (iOS 9.3). And these software updates are available around the world, simultaneously, to all supported iPhones regardless of wireless carrier. As a result, iOS 9 is running on more than 75 percent of all iOS devices, which includes iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, according to Apple's App Store Distribution page. Even more impressive, the company is still updating the iPhone 4S, which was released back in 2011.



For Google's operating system, the situation couldn't be more different. The latest operating system, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, was released in late September and is found on less than 1 percent of Android devices. (You can thank the large number of Android hardware partners -- and their insistence on customizing the OS -- for that, but it's still frustrating for the user.) Bottom line: Unless you are on one of Google's Nexus devices, you rarely receive software updates on Android.

That's not the case for Apple.

Apps still come to iOS first


It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, but developers still tend to develop apps for iOS first. The live-streaming app Periscope was available on iOS two months before Android. Facebook's Paper app and new Sports Stadium are only available for the iPhone, as is the the NYT Now app. Periscope's new GoPro compatibility can only broadcast from iPhones for now as well. And the list goes on.

Touch ID is incredibly fast

I've used fingerprint sensors before, but Touch ID feels faster than the rest. I rarely saw the lock screen. A simple press on the home button would turn my screen on and unlock it within seconds. I also found Touch ID to be more reliable than others I have used, such as the one of the Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S6.


Where Android still wins

Fast charging

I had to charge the iPhone at least once, sometimes twice during the work day. I've come to expect this with many smartphones, but charging the iPhone can be a real pain. It takes over 2 1/2 hours to go from zero to full.

A majority of recent high-end Android devices include a quick-charging feature. I could get about 8 hours of power from a 15-minute charge on my Moto X Pure. The huge market for iPhone battery packs and charging accessories shows that battery life remains a challenge for iPhone users.


The Moto X Pure is one of a handful of Android devices that include front-facing speakers -- a feature I desperately missed. The iPhone speakers sound clear, but they just don't seem to get loud enough. I like to listen to music when I take showers. The speakers on the Moto X were able to get loud enough to overcome the sound of the water, but this wasn't the case for the iPhone. I ended up having to pair it to a Bluetooth speaker to get my morning music fix.

OS-level Google integration

It's scary how much I rely on Google for both work and personal use. While the search giant has all of its essential services on iOS, I miss how everything was integrated with Android. The Google Now home screen on my Moto X Pure provided me with all the essential information I needed -- traffic information for my commute home, package tracking, stock information, suggested articles based on my interest, and more.






Freedom, efficiency and customization

Android gives users freedom over almost every part of the operating system. You can change texting apps, the look of icons, the default Web browser, and more. While iOS lets you choose from a variety of third-party keyboards, you can't set any apps to be used by default.

I also noticed that actions on iOS tended to require extra steps. For example, on Android I can choose to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in the notifications pull-down. While iOS will let you toggle Wi-Fi on and off through the Control Center (the menu that appears when you swipe up on the home screen), you have to go into the Settings app and click Wi-Fi to choose a specific network.


And the winner is...

Overall my experience was enjoyable. The iPhone 6S is a great phone, and I recommend it to almost everyone. The camera is top-notch, the phone runs smoothly and the operating system is easy to navigate.

But in the end I won't be sticking with it. Android is more of a natural fit for me. I'm more efficient on my Android device and I love the deep Google integration. I also like that I can make my device look and feel unique with custom icons, launchers, widgets and home screens.

At least, that's the case for now. Let's see what Google and Apple have on deck for 2016.

OP go and Jail break your iPhone and come back and retell the story.. You are still a novice in the iOS world so I don't blame you much...

Bethh:

Never heard of an apple user telling someone if he wants premium security he must get a specific model of an apple device. Sigh

I believe knox is standard on any recent Sammy. I only quoted galaxy nd note line cos I'm 100% sure it's present in those for now

We need to get this people to produce Nigerian phones in Nigeria. Get Google and Iphone makers build their companies in our country to create the job we need and boost our economy. Imagine how much Nigeria has spent in Phones alone. Every Nigerian has a phone and all were imported.

Our President and Ministers should be going to Negotiate with these guys to bring the companies to Nigeria. We are the market. We pay the piper. We have what it takes to dictate the tune.

Our Nigeria needs to grow. Today it is Iphone and Android and most of us will now start checking it out and that game only takes our hard earned money to improve other countries economy while our economy is not helped. Oh God of Creation, guild our Leaders right and help our Youths the truth to know.

Hehe. Facebook owner Mark Elliot Zuckerberg just became the 6th richest in the world and 4th richest American.. All thanks to the rise of Facebook shares.

You can Iie ooo. This can be done easily on any phone that has inbuilt dictionary which is connected to the whole browser most likely native browser. Btw, you know anything called Google now on tap.

This is even more advanced than the normal dictionary present which does the job nicely. IPhone can only wish to do that

Figure it out.

Oya start na. The way iphone users will bury u alive ehn! My hand no dey there o!

Some people just want what works.. awesome camera, massive apps, great tweaks, fastest firmware update.....
generally, a great user experience once you get used to it

you're not following the trend bro. Apple has more robust market than android. android is more likely to fail than apple.

apple remove as much malware apps from their appstore( http://techcrunch.com/2015/09/21/apple-confirms-malware-infected-apps-found-and-removed-from-its-chinese-app-store/)as google remove from their play store and d only reason anyone will get walware and virus on their android devices is because they of their own freewill allowed the installation of apk from unknown sources,a feature that is normally not activated by default on every android device I have used.basically if u've got malware on your device it is because u let it happen.

katibu:

nope android has about 70something℅ of the entire smartphone market.apple does make the highest profit compared to every other phone manufacturer

op use nexus device u will be the one tired of udate and does it matters if app reaches apple app store first?

No need to draw words with you since you dont use an iPhone!

any day and anytime.... I use an android and av been using one for more than a year but If I get a chance to switch back to apple, I won't even think about it.... I'll just do it. I hate Android. too much virus wahala and its too unstable.... I loved my iPhone 3gs to death and had to change cos the phone was stolen. no be like say no money for the iPhone now o but I prefer 3gs design to the iPhone 4 and 5 design... only the iPhone 6 design is close to the feel of 3gs so I dey save for 6s

Bethh:
hehe. don't mind that guy.

Abi o.

illiterate, androids don't have virus.

You are the illiterate here and not just an ordinary one but one of elephantine proportions. AVG just updated their antivirus to support the latest android marshmallow operating system. Why do they need to do that if android can never be infected with a virus. Infact how many times have you picked an iphone and seen antivirus apps like AVG, kaspersky, Avast etc installed on it?

You are the illiterate here. A legendary one

CriticMaestro:
See how long and boring that was, can't u just summarize it? Anyway Iphone is an overrated equipment, a simple tecno android will explore u to the world the same way an Iphone will....speaking of which, I heard blackberry Porsche is still 250k? Wow

I second that, tecno and co have me it easy to own a smartphone

another ineffectual buffoon. I repeat, android os can never be attacked by virus. Instead of making noise upandan how about you arm yourself with knowledge 1st?



All the anti virus apps you mentioned don't in any way kill virus or prevent it. They are all anti malware. The name anti virus is only there for marketing because if they had said anti malware nobody will download it


You can go read about the Android os again and tell your superiors you read about a lie on internet.


I repeat again, Androids can never be attacked by a virus
