iPhones vs Android
    #19282611 - 12/16/13 06:45 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

What do you guys like?

I'm in need of a new phone, my current one deletes all my contacts every 3 to 4 days, starting to get real fed up with that. I'm trying to decide between the HTC One or one of the newer iPhones. I've had an iPhone for a while, starting to get kinda boring, I heard you can customize way more on the droids.

Don't be afraid to try something new... at worst, if you aren't happy, you can just return the shit and get another iphone.... Voila.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I like the casio commando for durability and apps.  It freezes up every now and then but megh. I have no clue about iphones.  I'm pretty PC and used a zune instead of an ipod.

I HATE iphones. Lol. You're really only paying for a name. Granted, they seem to work well..You're locked from doing anything to the phone by apple. So a non-jailbroken iphone is a waste...Even once they're jailbroken, they're kind of a waste. :shrug:

I work with a bunch of iphone lovers. They're all dumb as bricks when it comes to technology but think the iphone is the best thing ever. I've noticed this with a lot of diehard apple fans. Not saying they're all like that though.

I tried to use an iphone for a week..couldn't stand it. About smashed it more than once. :shrug:

Android FTW!

Yeaa I know what your talking about man. Computers aren't my forte but I enjoy learning about technology and how it works, most of the intelligent people I know own androids and they do shit with their phones that I've never once seen on an iphone. They also torrent all of the real good apps so they've got stuff like free pandora and spotify. Sounds like a good deal to me, I think its about time I pick one up

Personally I would not consider a smartphone that did not at least have a microSD slot, and as far as I can tell none of the iPhones have expandable storage.

I think it depends on what you want to do.

I have pretty basic smartphone needs.  I need to get texts, email, GPS, music, internet, photos, and a handful of apps.  I like my iphone because it does these things exceptionally well.  I've never had it crash, the GPS has never "hung", and I barely even restart the device.

I spent a lot of time getting and flashing the latest Android ROMS.  Get on the popular forums and there are just pages and pages of people posting, and trying to fix their ROMS.  If you have the time, and like to tinker with shit, Android is right for you.

I like the "it just works" philosophy and simplicity of Apple.  The only thing I don't like is itunes, but that's neither here nor there.

I love being able to try all the different builds developers put out for android. So many tweaks and customization options are available on a rooted android phone. Developers are constantly pushing out awesome update ROMs that will basically let you customize your phone down to a tee. Overclocking, better battery life, and just having total control over my phone is fuckin awesome

For a smartphone, I prefer (jailbroken) iOS.

For a tablet, I prefer android and windows 8.

Android is very fragmented but the upside is MUCH more customization.

:drool2:

Such a nice device, so much better than iPhone in so many ways.

This subject has been covered so many times, I don't even feel like typing out why android is better than iPhone again.

Sort of a stupid concern, but I've got a lot of buddies who own iphones and they're always sending out group messages. When you receive a group message from an iphone, can you see the other users in the chat? Or is specific to iMessage

If  you want something thats expensive and prevents you from doing anything with it, get an iphone. If you want a phone that you are able to change in any way, get android.

Really, I just consider the iphone to be an expensive brick with facebook capabilities, and I don't like facebook.

:facepalm: tell them to use whatsapp like the rest of the world.
j/k really; if need be, I think there's an app that'll let you receive iMessage texts on your android.

But really...whatsapp.

If you use it for a media player, I'd go with the droid. Paying apple for the 32 gig Iphone is pretty insane if you need the memory. Droid allows you to buy a 20 dollar chip to add 32 gigs of memory. But if you don't care about your memory and are more worried about a well made phone I'd go with the smaller iphone. You don't need much space if you're not filling it with audio files and videos

Based on the assumption that you're going to sign a contract, and get one of these smart phones for "free".
