If Android is so superior then why the fuck doesn't it even have notification badges for its apps by default?
>>
Because it's well designed enough to keep all the notification in the top bar instead of across several homepages.
>>
>>51768117
Because those shits are annoying.

I don't think they're useful. When I get a notification I either dismiss it or take action. I never dismiss a notification but want to be reminded of it later.

That's just me but I can see why it would be useful for some.

Okay, I'll bite.
Now on the equivalent stock rom of iOS that I am running, show me your file browser and torrent client.

on top of this show me your webm support

Android webm support is good on most browsers. Post a webm.

>pretending you need this shit on your phone.

as long as you can reorder and make albums you are pretty much all good

>>51769636

why should you have to buy or install a new app for every little fucking thing. something like badges should be a default with maybe an option in the settings to turn them on or off.

ffs even windows phones have them

File managers and torrent clients are shit?

Here they are

Available anywhere from the OS, not just the home screen
>>
does iOS have the notifications in the top bar too?
>>
>>51770035
Imagine if we redid this argue, except off the bat I said "lol notification badges, >pretending you need this shit on your phone".
Like notification badges, the two features I suggested are very much required on a modern phone. Please show me your control over the permissions of your apps by default.
>>
>>51770108
Yes it has a notification center

No it doesn't have icons in the status bar


How do you know you have notifications in there?

You don't
>>
>>51770092
Fast downloads and file management. Why do people also have that "shit" on their PC? If you're buying all your media from iTunes then fine but I don't.

>Please show me your control over the permissions of your apps by default
um

Android guy here

You do know that shit was on iOS for a while, right?
>>
>>51770135
Non-existent in stock iOS. Trust me, I used both for a while and I have friends on iOS and I fuck with their phones when updates occur.
>>
>>51770158
How is it non existent?

I though apps are supposed to ask for a permission first, then you can edit that shit in the settings later?

Just like in 6.0?
>>
>>51768117
What? That annoying shit? You can make your own if you want, it's android.

yyyyyyeah you're completely retarded
they way Android 6 handles permission is litearlly a copy of iOS' system
And please, don't make me laugh with android permission management.

Android needs that customisability because all the default stuff is shit

iPhones are overpriced but at least with one you have everything out the box that you'll need

Thing is, I just don't care about pimping my cellphone. It's like nobody is seeing this and the time I'm wasting looking for good shit is time better spent elsewhere. I've always found cosmetic changes to be pointless in technology

The only plus of Android is emulators, but fuck trying to play videogames on a phone. Plus the battery life drains like a bitch already, I need to actually call people

The fact that any app can do notifications simply by agreeing to download it annoys me. It's almost always abused to spam adware.

Would you like a vanity mirror to go with that vanity phone?

Android phones are great on paper, they have good specs & all that but in actual use it sucks ass

iPhone:
>best camera
>great app support
>iMessage
>FaceTime
>Retina screen
>extremely smooth UI

Android:
>can use emulators
>can torrent shit
>not as smooth UI

Android is good if you wanna fuck around, but if you want to have a proper phone to call people, take pictures, and message them with ease, iPhone is better in every way.
>>

iPhone
>increases your chances for sexual intercourse
Android
>nope.jpg

>>51774100
this is seriously kek. people always compare $300 android phones to iPhones
>>
>>51774077
>best camera
What's Sony?

>iMessage, Facetime
Exclusive bullshit only usable with other Apple owners, when there are better alternatives that are platform-independent.

>Retina screen
Branding xxhdpi + IPS as exclusive

>Extremely smooth UI
Try having a previous generation device running latest iOS.

>Can use emulators
And not only, can use anything because it's Unix.

>Not as smooth UI
Same as above, but you must also consider current-gen low-end stuff.

Now for what matters: if you want to have a proper PHONE to call people and message, you should by a simple Nokia Asha or equivalent. If you want a decent smartphone, you should look at cost-benefit as a whole. Also, no smartphone or iShit will ever beat a decent camera from the same period in photos, they just make it more convenient.

>>51769816
why do I need a file manager?

>>51770092
so just because you don't need them that means that other people don't? I mean, what the fuck man. applefags are a joke.
>>
>>51771107
why the hell is default android shit

seriously, I don't use android, but im seriously curious. every ios user says that, but I never see them justifying why. it just smells of bullshit because of that.
>>
>>51770073
>torrent clients are shit?

People run torrent clients on their phones?
>>
>>51774462
For starters they don't even care about the difference between
>Default android shit
and
>Default <insert phone brand here> shit

Every single one that uses that as an argument has ever touched any "default android" shit, only the manufacturer's replacement for the unbloated default...
