ckhelvin: Hahahaha..u make me laff bro!..OP you really av little understanding on tech market and strategies used to overcome competitors in which apple av shown to be the leading tech Giant to be the Top-dog in d business...apple can not and never stand so low to beg buh instead they've created an ecosystem where they so much av loyal constumers that's ready to buy whatsoever apple brings on the table ..last years Q4 statistical analysis shows the number of android users that actually switched to the iphone6 coz of the size that has actually limited them for a while buh notwithstanding apple inc. Releases iOS that's so smooth ..it's choice anyways ..I love iOS wen compared to android that's prone to malware of al kinds..#Peace
Iphone is begging customers to swap their droid for iphone and you are here ranting your own belief? lol, your belief isn't the reality, .
google wouldnt do that, all their services are free on all platform, ios, windows, blckberry, safari , android, name .. this is a fault from opera mini.. op seriously misleading guys, and they are falling cheaply
dmcdad: 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.
threadstone: U and i may never meet at the same middle ground. Ur android works for u. Fine my iphone does too. Ure an old iphone user switching to android. The reverse is the case here. From bb to lg to samsung then finally iphone. Mind you i had d galaxy mega for close to two years too. So all those tweaking, deodexing etc is not new to me too. You say a 512mb android is better at multi tasking than iphone. Come on, you can do better than that. Me thinks ure argument here is based on lolipop right?
The population of android devices is less than 5% so im speaking in generality,
My iphone 6 here is not boring and doesnt lag even after jailbreaking. I constantly tweak it erryday thanks to cydia. Lots of devs here too. So i disagree when u say its for non geeks. D only difference is because android comes on linux based environment and for d ios u need to go an extra step.
you can also enjoy this, yes i say its for non geeks, And i never said an android with 512mb is faster than an iphone, i said a jailbroken iphone lags, it doesn't start instantly but gradually starts loosing its fluidity, because it tried to alter with the system partition iphone isnt made for customization or geeky stuff, it just cant handle it. hence the statement a jailbroken iphone is only as fluid as a 512mb ram android. you can also watch this.
threadstone: But i hope u heard that dear iphone 6 trounced ur darling htc one m8 in a speed test even s5 too. With all the 3gb ram on note 4, its not as fluid as iphone 6 in multitasking. That was for the kitkat build, since u say ure on 5.0 i may have to see that too. iCant deny the lollipop is a nice fluid. Ive used it and i know. We can trade demos too. When i talk about androids i never do a mistake of mentioning the numerous chinese crapdroids that exist in ur ecosystem. What else would u expect from probably google sponsored project? A blackberry? Its just there. Forget the noise
iphone bested the htc one m8 hahaha. i cant just stop laughing.. ios simply has nothing, hence the speed. lets look at nokias of the old days, they ran on 2mb rams and co, very less hardware and yet they didnt lag, they wete okay then. its all os dude. imagine if all the smartphone power stuffs was given to those old nokia with low hardwares, they would blow up, same goes for ios, the os has nothing, hence the speed, what else can one do with an ios device if not tweet, browse, take a bunch of camera and just use it. no rewritable option, why wont the speed test with 1gb ram be good.. lol.. let an iphone try true multitasking , let an iphone run previously opened cache and still retain info. get an iphone and android, open youtube both on them then minimize them, keep the phones for 10 minutes , then open the minimized apps, the iphone would collapse them and give up, while the android still retains them. jailbreak an iphone and see how it gradually lags.. iphone is simply not made for devs nor power house, it is mearnt for those, what is on my phone users, they take what they get, no modification whatsoever, dude iphone is boring and you are talking to a former iphone 5 user here . android is for geeks, despite being a power house with all it can do, it is still on par with your loving iphone 6 speed. and the ui is as fluid as love. oh lovely lollipop.art runtime based on 64 bit arciteture is just the boss. i dare an iphone to do what an android does and wven reach up to a 512 mb rlandroid.. i dare to see a fluid jailbroken iphone. i jailbroke mine and the lag was just there. android remains the boss . lets also watch out for best phone 2015, i bet it is still gonna be an ANDROID.
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
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.
threadstone: Nice try. Its ur choice to get any device u want not neccessarily until someone forces it down your throat like you android fanatics do all the time. Your os is the best. We have heard...
1. The last time i checked apple devices come in variants, 16 64, and 128gb which i know your darling droids dont have at the moment. You choose what u want.
2. Thats the beauty of ios. Hardly would u beef to do a reset unlike ur darling droids :p. This is because the hardware and software are beautifully integrated together and apps do not hold the os to ransom like u experience everyday (force close, wait etc.
3. So u need a new remote and you bought a phone, congrats.
4. Just because you dont have access to the file manager doesnt mean all files are dumped in the same folder in iphones. A simple jailbreak will convince you.
5.youre right about itunes. But to say you need iphoto to copy pictures out of iphone. Come on, say something else.
6. Any oem reserves the right to whatever hardware it wants for its products. Ure complaining of cable, tell tecno and others too to use snapdragon chipsets like others
7. Apples ios is engineered in a way that the appstore is the sole location for downloading apps. This makes cases of malware, vunerabilities and spywares and other nasty installations that the android ecosystem is notoriously famous for. For jailbroken devices, the cydia appstore also serves as a secondary base of apps to download too. Be illuminated.
8. Guest mode accounts werent a feature of android up till lollipop which im sure u dont have on your device. However be rest assured that its not so far away from ios. By the way have u heard of family sharing.. Google is ur buddy.
9. Who the hell needs google map when there is sygic map there that works seamlessly with realtime locations, thousands of poi and the best feature, u can use it OFFLINE. 10. Apple cares much about security and pattern lock is on the lowest level in security terms yet u say android is better because of that. Hell if youre using an exchange mail account on ur crapdroid, u can NEVER set a pattern lock as ur phone password. Reason? Read the above.
11. Widgets? Ever heard of ios 8?
12. Tell me where else to keep apps beside the home screen. And before u mention folders, ios users have been enjoying that long since before it debuted on android kitkat. 13. Well u may have a point.
14. Thank God u said a few phones. Out of those phone users, how many actually use d feature. I had a galaxy mega for close to two years and i could count on one hand how many times i used that feature. NEXT
15. Point well noted. Rather than set that, ill ask my PA (Siri) to wake me up at five. Dasall
Believe me, ive seen it all. Rooting xposed cyanogen 7-12. Odin etc. theres no big deal in android. [/b]You deserve a lagfree os where ure readily assured of an os upgrade for at least three years on a steady note, where ur device has a higher resale value
Where d prices of devices dont drop like a steam pot Where u have a beautifully designed os which integrates with the hardware to produce a seamless experience and regular updates which shields you away from the need to flash roms. Where a 1gb ram dualcore device is more powerful than other octacore hexacore decarcore 3gb devices. Where a 1900mAH battery would last u for 24 hours 3g usage
Welcome to ios 8.[b]
i read all your point trying to see a point where the iphone best android, but i couldn't, it is rated all over the web and globe, when it comes to customization and enjoying phone, android rocks. Iphone is a toyish Jail.
KenJak: Nonsense! Even if the whole group endorse you(Jonathan), you are going to Otuoke and after, your next home will be decided. Nonsense group that its useless and does not exist. I am from Ondo state and we are not in support of Jonathan. Any nonsense group that claim to endorse him is just in vain. Jonathan, farewell!
stop spewing spits all over the thread, are you an _imbecile?
what does it mean? it just automatically installed itself and after i removed it, it did the same thing again.. not only me, but also on my friend's phone? please what does it mean and how does it keep coming back?
