 That's your own opinion period.

 

There is a "better" from a developer standpoint, which shall be discussed in a developer point of view (Linux is better than windows), and from a consumer standpoint (windows is better than linux)

To me, as a mere consumer, android just creams all over iOS. You can't do nothing on it, never seen such a trashy operative system on a phone, even the dead Symbian gives you more oportunity to costumization than iOS. You can't choose your ringtone, no wallpaper, lol. OS for children...

 

Now if you are a developer, I won't argue which one is better for that or not, neither do I care.

That's the exactly oposite... the iOS is the better mobile OS for consumers... best UI... easy, simple, intuitive and fast... that's all. A user don't need to know how config or changes the things like in Android... iOS just works like everyone wants without a previous study.

iOS or Windows Phone today are the best mobile OS in the market... for now iOS is still better than WP but that's can change in the future.

Everyone hate Symbian because it's hard to do anything in the OS... developers, consumers, Nokia, etc... everyone knows the Symbian UI is not friendly like Android.

Edit - In sumary:

OS for Developers: Andorid, Symbian, MeeGo (you need with knowledge to do everything the product is designed to)
OS for Users: iOS, WP (you don't need knowledge to do everything the product is designed to)

It's like Windows (iOS) and Linux (Android)... well Android uses a crap javavirstualmachine (customized) who steals almost 50% of the system resources when Linux uses a pretty fast C/C++ code.

 

 

My phone with android Jelly Bean is faster than any iPhone I've seen (besides the new iphone 5, haven't seen it).

Also, please visit this thread here http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=147831&page=1

Vote, and do not state your opinion as fact in order to remain open to discussion. Unless you are hitler.

How does the Iphone meet srgb specifications?   Amoled has more and better colors than at least iphone 4s displays  Does the Iphone 5 finally have Oled technology? If not whats the point in having more shades of grey blue red green whatever if your display cant even display black and therefore most of the colors are either washed out or to bright because of shitty led technology?

And btw even the Galaxy one has sRGB well it even surpasses it  so it lacks no color the sRGB standard has  the only problem with surpassing it is that it looks the display has "to much" color.

And I wont even start talking about the crap software in the little iphone universe that the person who made this "counter ad"  talks about...

1.) Becuase there are a million android phones and only one iOS phone...

2.) I've seen stats that say the opposite..Apple users use more functions than android users

3.) No you couldn't...the OS is iconic, and I'm sure ANY apple user EVER could tell that some new android phone is not an iPhone


1) Doesn't matter, if iOS was so unquestionably better to the vast majority of people than the number of alternatives wouldn't matter. It is because the average user doesn't see much of a difference and one of the Android phones better meets their immediate needs that Android is more popular.

2) Using more functions does not mean that they use more than the shallow capabilities of their device.

3) Windows is pretty iconic but I have seen people skin Ubuntu to look similar to Windows and the vast majority of users couldn't tell the difference. The average iPhone use would think (when using Android) "oh, Apple changed the icons". If you didn't realize it, one of the reasons Apple sued Samsung over the look and feel is because if someone copies Apple's look and feel with Android the typcial user couldn't tell a difference between the phones.

Hum... no. The common consumers don't choose their cell phones based on OS knowledge. They do it mostly based on the size of their wallets.

Also, the iPhone has been the most successful single model phone. But of course there's a lot more Android phones sold every years. There are hundreds of models for all kind of budget, while there's only one new iPhone model every year.

You seem to have the idea that the average Joe is buying an OS before buying a phone based on his budget, or service provider. You couldn't be more wrong.

Actually  most consumers (which are idiots like most humans are)  choose their phone base on how popular it is,  how present it is in the media and how they can increase their social status with it. 

Thats why ads work and thats also why  presidential campaigns are about   white shiny teeth   sympathic speeches  and presence in the media etc   and not about WHO WOULD BE THE BEST PRESIDENT.  People are stupid.

Yeah... because the Galaxy Ace is everywhere in the media! Yet it's still selling quite a lot here. ¬_¬
Same goes for any LG phones.

Really... You shouldn't take what you see on the tech and specialized websites as indications for what sells most to the unaware average Joe.

I think we're saying exactly the same thing ...

The average user doesn't know or care about the OS and that makes it easy for them to buy a device for other reasons. People buy the iPhone primarily because of marketing, and people buy the Android phones based on budget, the features and quality are meaningless to them.

Take the Samsung Galaxy S3, do this http://www.idevotees.com/2012/04/android-tutorial-give-android-the-feel-of-ios-5/ and I bet 95% of iPhone users wouldn't know it wasn't an iPhone.

Dude sue me. I don't really give a crap about either of them. They are phones. Get over it people. Thread gives me a headache. There are more important issues out there.

Ha ha! Yeah, except for the notice bar at the top, and the actual physical look of the phone... the screen layout does look a lot like the iPhone's.

But...

Why would any Android user want the look of the supposedly *inferior* iOS? =P



I want apple to die :)

Because all Android users love the iOS .
