I hope you caught my joke. Most of the chinese i have worked with all had iphones.. Anyway, i don't see why you wouldn't be able to restrict permission to your microphone, i am not an droid user tho

I'm contemplating switching to an iPhone though only because I have a Mac, and transferring data from phone to PC would be soooo much easier if I were to have an iPhone.

Fuck a mac. It sounds like you need a PC laptop, not an apple phone. Im biased because I spent my entire life on PC.

Macs are really nice. They are built really well and are great for multimedia applications. I think a lot of them use intel Core processors and the new one will feature intel's kaby lake

Macs have always seemed pretty over priced to me but then again I don't know a ton about computers They are certainly solid for the most part though.

Ya i have heard they are great for multimedia (digital design, musical engineering etc.) They may even have better hardware overall, but I feel like the software in android or PC is wayyyy superior. More options and ways to customize. More palpable.

This Mac has lasted me over 3 years, much longer than any PC ever has. This is my first mac, but I'm only buying macs from now on.

I dont see a big deal with this.
they only save the audio from when you activate the voice search features.
It doesnt just record every conversation or call you make, and it most likely just saves them to improve voice search.
if its that big of a deal to you just delete any existing recordings and dont use the voice search features.

Ive seen the window phones but I have no idea why anyone would prefer them to other androids. At first glance, it looks just like the newer versions of windows which is just god awful in my opinion.
whats so great about the windows phones?

Well it's like microsoft windows, but on a phone. The benefits should be obvious.

I think the benefits are going to need to be a little more obvious. Androids are fully customizable. I hate Windows 10 which is the only recent windows OS upgrade Ive played around with and am not even very familiar with.

If you read through the thread, you'll notice I found at least 2 audio clips from when I wasn't even using my phone, but could hear myself talking briefly in the background.

Most of the time my PC would die within 6 months to 2 years. I got a shitload of viruses too, even when I'd install anti-virus or anti-spyware software it didn't seem to help.
Now I almost never get malware, and if I do I can call Apple Care to have them resolve it for me.
Not only that, but the laptop where I had Windows ME was a nightmare, whenever the computer froze while saving a document it would completely erase the document from the hard drive. I lost a couple of essays this way.

Wasnt there a thing on the news that all those new samsung smart tvs can listen and record us too.
I guess all devices can if some tech on their end turns it on or some shit lol regardless of phone make and model lol.

I've known of this. I enjoy using the "okay, google" voice search to ask google all sorts of stupid stuff just for fun. Completely stupid questions too. It's a hobby of mine.

All android phones are also sold with monitoring programs installed. 'Something' tracker should be in your installed apps.
Im not sure of specific names of apps but if you search your open processes there should be a few unknow apps with read/right access to everything on your phone and link back to something called sysscope. They have the ability to turn on mic/camera, wifi, bluetooth and mobile networks, record calls, save msgs and pics, also log key strokes, manage contacts/profiles ect...
It it supposed to be so you can find your lost phone and delete sensitive data but i still didnt give permission cor such an app to be installed and monitored by a third party.
