cant take out the battery
-no removable memory
-only Apple-approved apps
-STILL no true multi-tasking like Android
-cant customize your phone AT ALL
-no Flash support
-cant install apps from your computer
-no widgets
-no free GPS navigation
-no mobile hotspot
-no free wireless music downloads
-no ringback tones
-no refunds for paid apps
-all file syncing MUST be done through iTunes (pictures, etc.)
-Android phones have more memory storage
-most Android phones have better cameras
-no standard USB cable like all other phones
-the new iPhone has horrible antenna issues
-instant Android OTA software updates- don’t have to wait a year like iPhone
-can’t get service in an ATT store- have to find an Apple store
-works on ATTs horrible network
-no unlimited data
-tethering comes out of your data plan instead of being separate

Reason not to get apple
>>
>>51879891
What do you mean by can't customize an iPhone at all?
>>
>>51879891
>cant take out the battery
Yes you can it takes 4 minutes to replace the battery
>no removable memory
So buy the 64 or 128 version, memory is much faster than SD cards as well
>only Apple-approved apps
There's a workaround for this now, you don't even have to jailbreak
>cant customize your phone AT ALL
Oh boo hoo, can't rice your phone with shitty anime drawings, weaboo gonna cry?
>no Flash support
How is this a negative? Flash is dead
>cant install apps from your computer
Read above
>no widgets
Meme
>no free GPS navigation
Apple maps and google maps both work well and are free
>no mobile hotspot
This is wrong, I use mine all the time
>no free wireless music downloads
Use spotify/pandora/bandcamp/soundcloud or just put music on it at home
>no ringback tones
Are you 12?
Pretty sure this is carrier specific as well
>no refunds for paid apps
This is wrong as well, there is a button in the app store to request a refund
>all file syncing MUST be done through iTunes (pictures, etc.)
You can add or remove pictures as a mass storage device and there are plenty of programs that let you manage music without itunes
>Android phones have more memory storage
What android phone has more than 128gb storage?
>most Android phones have better cameras
That's wrong tho, iphones are renown for their camera quality
>no standard USB cable like all other phones
The port is more durable than USB and reversible
>the new iPhone has horrible antenna issues
Details?
>instant Android OTA software updates- don’t have to wait a year like iPhone
What?
You got this exactly backwards.
>can’t get service in an ATT store- have to find an Apple store
Bait
>no unlimited data
Carrier specific, not phone related
>tethering comes out of your data plan instead of being separate
Carrier specific, not phone related

>>51879891

This post is so incorrect that it deserves a ban. Anyone looking into getting an iPhone should disregard this fucker.

I have used both android and iPhone (currently on the iPhone 6) and yes both have their goods and bads.

They both are phones, they both run apps (android has a few that I would say beat the iPhone in terms of control of you phone).

>>51879782
If I were you, do your research, and pick the phone that suits you the best.
>>
>>51880028
Rofl, look at this huge list of workarounds. You'd WILLINGLY pay a fuckton for a locked device that requires you to do this much work for basic stuff?

I still remember laughing at the original iPhone for its awesome bluetooth that never officially supported file transfer. Also, the whole iTunes sync thing is just sad.
>>
>>51880141
That's why you download an Antivirus and a junk cleaner app

I have a galaxy s5 and it hasn't slowed down or got any viruses >>51880141
>>
In short, Android has more flexibility and control over the base functions of the phone, and a bigger app store, but iOS does tend to be smoother and more responsive, with a sleeker interface.

Mostly its just personal preference and there are plenty of other differences but generally I'd just say go Android for root access and customisability, iOS (Apple) for sleekness and responsiveness.

If you want a device that literally shits itself within 2 weeks after you buy it and lags like fuck after one update, go ahead.

>they get virus and are laggy after only a few weeks
Applies to any device that is both:
-Connected to the world wide web
-Owned by someone with severe brain damage

However, all smartphones are barely-usable shit.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>>51879782
You hear that, because lots of people only bitch, and never sing praises, unless they buy into apple memes. With android, you can get something that feels good, and is at a decent pricepoint, rather than having Applel telling you what to like. Get an android, and maintain a modicum of thought. don't visit sketchy sites, don't download sketchy files, and disregard pretty much everything in the play store that claims to boost your battery. If you have shit battery, its because you have a shittily optimized app running, like facebook.
>>51880238
Or not. Don't go to sketchy ass sites, "junk cleaners" often do more harm than good. Also samsung = you dun goof'd. How a company can routinely put out the best hardware, but stutter, lag and have terrible battery life, and perform worse than a competitor that costs half as much, is mind boggling.

I personally like Android. However, it requires a little bit more natural intuition to use than an iPhone.

You seem to be completely tech-illiterate, so I'd recommend the iPhone.

android, wouldn't want to rely on a single program solely for moving files to my phone. No thanks.

Modifying the interface is easier and there are more options on android. Adding features to the OS is easier and there are a lot you can add thanks to xposed.

If I were you, I would get a good Android device for regular usage, and then maybe get an iPod touch for the few things iOS does better (like better optimized apps/apps that Android doesn't have.)
