most of androids features seem like a gimmick to me. Customisation? Literally just skins and who cares? Emulation? Just use a laptop.

With ios it seems you get a more reliable device with none of androids bugs (looking at you, google play store. Am i going to have to reinstall you for the 4th time this week?)
And you dont need to run A/V on your phone with ios, nor is google tracking and selling off all your data.

Just seems like a waste to go with android in 2020 nowadays unless you -really- need sideloading which most people dont.

Im a current note 10 5g owner but probably going to switch to the iphone 12 when its out. Just sick of androids shit

Iphone SE 2 exists now

I suppose if you want ultra cheap trash that does nothing except take calls and doesnt even do that well, a $100 android or a dumbphone are your only two options though

Who cares at this point anyways? If you're years into either of these ecosystems there's absolutely no reason to switch over.

I was mainly asking because CE seems to have the most rabid android fanbase that insults any ios user and says ios is worthless, so i was just looking for any compelling reason to stay with android once the iphone 12 is out

I dunno. At least with apple, their customera are their device owners. With google, device owners are the product and advertisers are the customer.

Most of the time if i want to update an app or download a new one, it doesnt fucking work. The only way to get it to work is to clear the data, clear the cache, revert to the original version that came on the device, restart the phone, sign back into the play store, update the play store, and then maybe theres a 40% chance it will work for 2 or 3 days before breaking again. Ive had this issue on one htc phone and 3 samsung phones. Im over it. I just want my apps to auto update, and to occasionally download a new app. Yet this is impossible in android land

iPhones are for chicks and i'm a guy

Android isn't restricted to "buy our overpriced shit or it won't work"

It's literally a shitty Apple product

"Why be a PC gamer when you can be a Macintosh gamer?" It's about that level of stupid.

You're probably doing something wrong. This isn't the normal android user experience.

You can do so much more with android at a quarter of the price.

Does ios run faster and more smoothly? Yeah.. but that's not the only metric to consider.

Ultimately do you want to pay a fortune for a flashy brick or do you pay a modest amount for a utility belt?
