Android vs. iPhone.which is better?

I've done app development and Android is LEAGUES beyond iOS in that department.

Not to mention it doesn't feel as dated, slow, or as unresponsive. Apple really don't know what they're doing when it comes to designing software. But hey, it looks pretty and is simple enough to follow for technologically challenged individuals so it sells.

Iphone......I am using a mac to post this and charge my iphone and ipod at the same time.

You can do that with any brand computer and pretty much every current smartphone and tablet

I have a 4s. I like it, can play all my music on it easisly. Shortcuts are simple, app navigation is easy, menus are simple to go through and everything works real well. Sure you don't have all the crazy customization that androids have, but I don't need that. It does what I want really well. Simple interface, perfect size, ipod, apps, internet.

No I wasnt lol, I was just kind of makeing note that I have a lot of apple products for some reason. I did not say that you couldnt do that with a regular pc, you were just makeing assumtions. Honestly you and the other guy read way to into my posts shame on you two, but that is why GS is awesome lol.

Android. Apple products are tremendously overpriced...

Don't forget the 3rd option.  Windows phone.  Or blackberry.  You dont have to limit yourself to just 2 flavors.

Get out.

In all seriousness though it kinda comes down to what you want from your phone.  I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus.  The 4g speed and faster processor really made me happy, but the phone is plastic-y and made of more humble materials.  This seems to be the main differences between the Android and Apple camps.  Apple makes a singular product with premium materials but more modest internals while Android runs the gamut from the most basic smartphone to the flagships such as the HTC one and the Galaxy S 4. 

I work at a phone retailer and having owned both phones, I gotta say I'm really not in love with either system over the other when it comes to Apple vs. Android.  For me it comes down to a price/value determination. 

For other customers, they like the ease of use of most apple products and the fact that they sync with their existing network of apple infrastructure.  When it comes to specs, right now Apple is way behind the curve, but I still think the iPhone 5 is one of the best in-your-hand feeling phones that we have to offer.  We'll see what happens when they announce the new Apple phones.

[QUOTE="YoshiYogurt"]Android is obviously better, but I prefer the Iphone for it's music player. The ipod player is simply better than anything I've seen on android. OrkHammer007

I wasn't able to tweak the EQ on the phone (it wasn't mine, and I wasn't going to adjust it for my ears, then try to revert it), but I found the quality on the iPhone much more hollow-sounding than on my Android. I used the same earbuds for both devices, so it wasn't those.

Traditionally, Apple devices have poorer sound quality than their more affordable counterparts anyway. Their earbuds are awfully tinny, too.

Well it wasn't until just two months ago that Gingerbread users finally dropped below supporting over half of smartphones By only supporting 44.2% of devices. Still the largest Android OS. 53.7% of devices are still running some kind of 2.X whether it be Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread. Meanwhile only 16.5% of devices support Jellybean. That's a whole lot of low spec phones out there holding everything back.Murderstyle75

I'm pointing out the problem with the platform and millions upon millions of people using $50 to $150 low budget phones. Like I said. You can't expect to buy that Galaxy S4 and have the same quality app support to that of an iPhone. Most developers call it a nightmare.Murderstyle75
