For most people, it doesn't matter what the os is, they are fine with both android and ios. So why pay 4x as much for the same satisfaction?
For power users it doesn't matter how smooth the gosh darn animations are if the functionality isn't there (for example android has better app to app integration). The only real reason to get an iPhone is the status symbol and the Starbucks hipster lifestyle. And those people deserve a horrible, horrible death anyway

Their displays have zero air gap between the touch sensor and the glass so the icons appear floating on the glass, and they are usually better calibrated than most shit tier Android displays which just cram more pixels in and call it a day. And any faggot who thinks anything beyond a 720p display on a hand held device is anything but a meme is a dumb faggot.
Plus, they conserve battery by using lower res, which isn't noticeable anyways.

my biggest gripe with iOS is that I can't generally customize my home screen like I can on Android

why do all my app icons have to be sorted left to right, top to bottom? I honestly only want eight apps on my screen - four on the bottom bar and four right above it. but for some reason, I have to push the apps down to the position I want them in with junk I don't want - blocking out my wallpaper. the lack of widgets is also frustrating.

I like my iPhone otherwise, it's just those little things that make me prefer Android on the whole

Eigrp router ID 1.3.3.4

On some routers you need to use - on others space.

Touchwiz is disgusting. That last time I used it I couldn't even select my texting/image viewing (don't remember which) app. Rather, I could tell it to use it, but it still forced me to use the built in app. Not to mention the ads, the shitty notification panel that required you to pull the panel half way down the screen before you could see your notifications and tons of other shit. You have to be a tech illiterate idiot to use Samsung stock ROMs.
Oh yeah, that retarded menu popping up every single time you pulled out the stylus. What the fuck?

Guess what, this depends on the device.
>The apps are consistent and fantastic looking
There are apps on the app store that have inconsistent design styles, and the look is completely subjective
>The battery life is fantastic, lasts me about an entire day
Depends on the device, also usage patterns, and apps downloaded

So we can sum this up by saying this is straight b8 and completely subjective

I prefer android but I used to own an iPhone 5. It was one of the best performing phone I ever had, even on iOS9.

Apps in general actually look better on iOS. I'm not a dev but, looks like its a lot easier to make good looking apps for iOS.

On Android, specially with material design, there seems to be a lot of misinterpretation of the design language, some apps look really shitty.

I also miss the swipe to return, 90% of the times its better than having a back button.

Another thing I miss is the dedicated tab for widgets. Android widgets take a lot of space for very little information and most of the look ugly af on the homescreen

I develop software and let me tell you Windows fucking sucks for it. OS X isn't great. VS is probably the only good thing about development on Windows, but it's not great. Xcode is shit on OS X. In fact, you probably don't need an IDE most of the time, so it really comes down to which environment offers the best shell and that's either Linux or OS X. Sorry, I don't consider CMD or PowerShell worthy for comparison.

OS X isn't particularly great for graphic design or media unless you want to use Final Cut, Sketch or Affinity's line of Adobe alternatives.

>The apps are consistent and fantastic looking
iOS apps have zero UI consistency in fact, and everything looks like some Fisher Price shit. Also some stuff is literally meme-tier, such as the back button always being in the top left corner.

>The battery life is fantastic, lasts me about an entire day
I'll give you that one, the battery life is good but it comes at a cost, which is that apps can't operate in the background, and for example notifications from messaging apps come with a serious delay.

Well i was always an android user. Really liked it always. Currently i had a chinese cheap Dooge phone and now i switched to 1+1. Muh Cyanogenmod

But meanwhile i had a chance to develop for iOS and i could try an iphone (6plus).
There are a lot of little flaws which makes the ios shit. For example
Some of the basic fancy animations lags
Using siri for 2-4 minutes and the phone gets hot
If you press the home button 5-6times in a row fast, it will play the app switcher animation 3-4times and you have to wait for those to end because the phone disables any touch meanwhile
Develop for ios is a pain in the ass with their mvc like framework, it is so deprecated at 2016
There are a lot of consistency problems with the translations in my case Hungarian language.

So overall it has a nice hardware but the os is just made for those who have money and doesnt have brain. And they pay more for less.

And if you compare an iPhone with an android then compare it with the Nexus ones because those arent bloated with touchwiz or something else

For anyone with even a mild interest in technology, Android is objectively better, there is no debate. I'm using a 5S right now too, it's a gimped piece of shit compared to my broken Nexus 5. Not having a proper file manager makes me want to rip my hair out. The phone is very beautiful and stable though, I'll give it that, but as someone who use's their phone as a laptop replacement, it just doesn't work with my lifestyle.
