Apple or Android?

[Marmoset]

I don't think that the phone market is so dichotomous (as in either android OR apple). I mean, yes I'm a brute with technology and break screens and hence the android phone, but apple also has some benefits as well.

They're both the same type of fruit, but one's a pear and one's an orange, so while they're the same they both have unique differences that make them both good or bad.

To each their own. The poll shows this very well. It's good to have variety based on what you prefer and your needs. Kind of like web browsers, tablets, computers, etc.

You also haven't contributed anything. Funny how it's always those kinds of people who try to act like they're smart.

On a more relevant note, have Apple really done anything to fix the problem with the bending on the 6 plus? Pretty ridiculous that can even happen when you're paying $700 for the thing.

I've had mine since release. Actually, every time I'm on here, I'm using it. It has not once bent and I've ran with it in my pocket, dropped it multiple times. And once, sat on it. Not bent.

i believe androids are much better phones. (i've had both.) you can do so many things with them that you just can't do with an iphone. you can customize them to your liking, download things straight onto them instead of going through a computer, and much more. they're just really great phones. i actually went to go get my phone fixed not too long ago and the worker that was helping me said that none of his coworkers had iphones. i mean, that has got to mean something.

I've had more experience with iPhone's but I did have a Samsung Galaxy S3 for a few years. While I like the fact that you can customize pretty much everything on an android device and I loved being able to just download a song and it will appear in my music library.. I just always find myself wanting an iPhone again.

Can we cut it out with the petty arguing already? Well thought out debates are healthy but turning them into witch hunts on specific members is pretty cruel and totally unacceptable. That applies to both sides for this one.

Keep it civil, you won't be warned again. Make sure your posts are actually contributing to the topic or you will receive notice for it.

I kind of like both (I own Apple products, my phone is an android), but will have to side with Android for this one. Just because I can access a lot more things. I do like the iOS (to a certain extent), but not as of recently. I'm not too knowledgeable in this stuff, but based on experience, I voted for Android

I prefer androids over apple. I've own both products and I've always leaned more towards android phones. There's more customization, I can buy extra batteries and replace them whenever my battery dies. However samsung's battery life is pretty amazing already, I can always make it through the day without my battery dying on me like I did previously with HTCs and Iphones. The same goes for the internal storage, I can easily upgrade the storage to 64GB or 128GB by buying micro sd cards for a few dollars whereas Apple charges an arm and a leg for their internal storage.

There's also a ton of roms you can download on android phones to make it even faster, change appearances, text size, DPIs, etc.

AND OMG, the biggest pro is being able to copy and paste mp3s, video files straight into my phone whereas apple you have to go through that Itunes BS and the fact that ihones and ipads are only compatible with .mp4 video files makes it a pain trying to convert all my .mkv, .avi files to mp4.

Also the multi-screen functionality on my Samsung Note 3 is AMAZINGGGG, it makes multitasking so much better rather than going back and forth btwn apps.

However, apple products are usually very smooth and no lag which is prob because they don't have flash but I still prefer androids especially samsung products.

I'm not a fan of any Apple product. I do have an iPad mini (my mom got me it from Black Friday) and a iTouch which I use for music. My fiance's family is a huge Apple fan. I really like my android. I have a Google Nexus 4. It's an awesome phone. I should have gotten another one before Google disconnected the phone. With the current update to the new Lollipop, I really don't like how the interface change and everything. I guess time will tell... I also want to test how my battery actually effected by this change. Bunch of articles online stated that the new update improved the battery life... Well...

Ah, KitKat is so much better than Lollipop. xD

Android any day. iPhones just don't appeal to me??? if you like it then yeah sure more power to you but I just find iOS so frustrating. also I don't know how you people survive with only the home button. every time I use a friend's iphone I always find myself trying to look for the back/recent apps button lmao

I own an LG G3 and I love it a lot. the design is gorgeous and I have 0 complaints about the QHD screen. I'm annoyed that they took off the 1440p playback option for the youtube app but I'm hoping it'll be back soon ~_~ it's great that apple finally caved and added larger screens to the 6 but they reeeeally need to fix those bezels. the G3 and the 6 plus have the same size screen but the bezels on the iphone make it look massive and unwieldy. also bendgate was pretty hilarious.

im tears because i have gingerbread ;-;
my last phone had kitkat tho. im supposed to get a new one this friday (ATT plan......... better phones than metroPCS)

 

[Murray]

these phones sound really tasty

tbh I don't favour one over the other in regards to apple or android, but now that I have an android I wouldn't get an apple just cause I would have to learn how to do things... differently...

 

[Sanaki]

Maybe android because of iPhone battery.. But I love my iPhone 6 so whatever it's just the battery I don't like

Oh. My. God. Gingerbread! Lol, Gingerbread can't be that bad. I never had it. Be sure don't update your phone to Lollipop. It's horrible. ATT plan. All the plan sucks tbh for phone and internet but ATT is the best one out there even though they're annoying. I can't believe you have plan with metroPCS. :{ What phone are you getting? Free exchange?

idk. my mom had gotten me a metroPCS beause i would go over the data limit too many times but now their ATT plan has 40gigs, compared to the i think 3gigs each? idk. i want a kitkat really bad. my brother has a galaxy S3 (i think) but i dont think id want one that big. my current phone is a literal downgrade from my last one. its smaller and has gingerbread.
funny, the day after i got my previous phone, we went to mcdonalds and my little brother knocked it onto the hard bench and the screen was SHATTERED. it was terrible. now, ive dropped this one so many times and it STILL hasnt broken. its really sturdy and not as thin as my last one.

Ah, 3gb each is not bad unless you're on your phone 24/7. Bad! Lol, 40gb is way enough. Why not just get the limited data plan and just do 200 mins/unlimited text plan? I think it's much cheaper that way assuming that you don't talk on the phone much. We have a very simple plan. I do want to add the umlimited data plan though. I'm still under my mom's contract but I may just get out of it and get a contract with my fiance. KitKat is awesome dude. I don't like anything about Lollipop. It might grow on me over time though... It seems like the battery life is semi improve but not by much. That's the only good thing about the update.

Well, I guess the Phone God wants to get you a new early Christmas present for you. Lol. I believe if you can put yourself through Gingerbread, then KitKat will treat you right. Galaxy 3G is really big. Which phone are you thinking about getting? I would suggest a Nexus 4 if they still have it.

I had customer rant about Apple because she was under the impression that they were spying on her through her phone. Oh please, like your so special that they would spy on you.

And she was under the impression that it was Apples fault that she was getting texts from strangers.

I don't understand why Apple gets hate. I never really owned an Apple product but I've used some before and I don't see a problem.

Oh but I'm getting an iPad mini for Christmas (don't tell my mom that I know it) so I guess I will see if Apple is deserving of the hate they get
