Um, I understand what features each has or had as I have owned only (1) iPhone so far, with that being my current 4S and every Galaxy S so far other than the S4 (2x Captivate, 1x S2, 1x S3). So I am fully aware of what each had and what each currently has. I also know each devices strengths when it comes to official OS or modded OS like Cyanogenmod. I also don't care if iOS updates and adds features as that is a positive. Galaxy on the other hand I have had issues with Samsung releasing a new device and waiting for them to update (sometimes taking a very long time or not at all) their previous models since they cannot just shoot out (1) update across all devices at once. My Captivate for example got 2.2 Froyo almost a year after it released and that phone and it's battery, OMG! Co-worker still has a S2 and he does nothing but bitch and moan about the battery. That is a common thing since they have so much going on in the background that it eats battery life. I also said that in jest, hence the I know what these phones do, so no reason to try and act as if I don't know all of these things you just mentioned.
If you wish we could bring this to my wall and you could go ahead and let me know about all these incredible features iPhone users are missing out on and maybe help to explain why people act as if people who buy iPhones are somehow brainless, compared to those ultra intellegent people who buy Android phones instead. I think people buy what they want and those who bitch and whine are nothing but haters. |
The point is, you claimed that Andoid has nothing on iOS (this is what I assumed you meant, as comparing an operating system to a device doesn't make sense at all). This is what I mainly called you out on. If that were the case, then Apple wouldn't bother adopting features present in Android before it. Hence, what you said is obviously false. Unless you're willing to admit that all of the features iOS got after Android are useless.
I will admit that in the Froyo days Andoid was inefficient with its scheduling policies, resulting in bad battery life. However, this is far from being the case now.
As for your coworker's S2, obviously it's going to have a bad battery life. First of all, a battery's ability to retain its charge degrades over time. Secondly, apps evolve to be less efficient with respect to resource use as developers are given better hardware to work with. Thirdly, that's a bad device; nothing to do with Android. Unless it's running pre-ICS verion of it. As a mirror example of this, I know a person who has an iPhone 3GS. Besides having to charge at night, she charges her phone (leaves it plugged in) in the middle of the day, every day. I once asked her why, and she told me that she can't get over 3 hours on a single charge. And she doesn't even use it as a smartphone really, aside from e-mail and occassional internet browse. Let's not use comical evidence (not, as I explained, that your evidence was even evidence for what you claimed).
I'd like to say two things about the bolded part. First of all, you claim to know about the features present, so apparently there's no need for that. Secondly, do not put words in my mouth. Did I call anyone brainless? No, I called you out on making a ridiculous statement. Yes, I guess I am a hater. I hate when people spread lies.
