Android is Better Than Apple

The Instigator says that: "If a calculator app does steal info, they can first see it on the screen you get before installing. " However this is simply not true: in the case which I stated, the google play store did not inform the user that it was using the microphone, camera etc. as it was malicious. Instead, it used a form of exploit in order to get around this and steal information incognito. The Instigator also states that: "On the Appstore however, there is no screen showing this. " I am not sure what they mean by this because the AppStore does not have malicious apps (did you mean to say there is a malicious calculator app equivalent on the AppStore? If so, there are none. ) And besides, (and this just shows how ill-informed my opponent is) when you first open an app on iOS it will ask you for access to the camera or microphone (or any other information it requires) if it is necessary and will never be given access unless explicitly agreed to by the user. The next thing the Instigator states is: "The next "evidence" is that Apple is more secure. While that is true, it costs you at least 150 dollars more than Android does. " Yet again, I am not sure what they mean by this as the security itself of the phone does not cost a customer $150. That does not make any sense. They also go on to say: "Plus, there are free firewall apps on Android that don't hack you. Basically, you're paying 150 dollars more for free firewalls. " I am also not sure my opponent quite understands what I mean by security of the phone; it is not as simple as a firewall that can be easily downloaded. There are multiple layers to this and multiple different safety features that have nothing to do with firewalls (as that is a networking issue) but everything to do with viruses, malware and adware. They also mention the situation of bloatware on Android and, to be honest, it is quite concerning. On iOS it is as simple as holding down the few unnecessary pre-loaded apps and deleting them. The next thing they say is: "Finally, Intel is dropping in quality, so I think that Intel just reached Apple's level. " This statement to me just seems like negative justification for Apple being on par with Intel. It seems like Apple actually being innovative or being on par with Intel is somehow impossible to my opponent speaker and the only justification for it actually happening is Intel losing quality. When they say: "the quality of Samsung phones [is] MUCH higher than Apple's", I must question what their definition of quality is. Samsung and Apple phones use the same materials, have the same glass back and also use their own equally-as-strong alloys. If the Instigator could please give an example in their next response as to how it is of greater quality that would be appreciated. Lastly, the Instigator also mentions how Samsung"s customer service is subjectively "better" than Apple"s. Yet, I fail to see how this is the case as Apple (like always) has won multiple awards for its customer service. For example, Apple won the Tech Support Showdown of 2018 for customer support by Laptopmag. com. In this showdown, Samsung was actually third behind Dell. It should also be noted that Apple has retail stores internationally. The only "competition" Apple faces in this regard is Microsoft stores. However, the latter does not provide the same type of in-store support as Apple stores and pales in comparison when it comes to the daily traffic of people. Although I would concur with the obsolescence side of things currently and mildly understand the need for customization with Android, I have never seen anyone argue that Samsung customer support was ever superior. All bias aside, it is undeniable that Apple has the better customer service: it"s one of their best attributes and selling points. I will now offer some new arguments to demonstrate the superiority of Apple over Android. From the response given, I can also tell that this has become essentially Apple VS Samsung. For this reason, my next bit of writing will be on Samsung and the times it actually copied Apple. Historically, Samsung initially did everything in its power to copy Apple"s iPhone and iPad. Their advertising campaign (even to this day) also relies on belittling Apple products. Most recently, however, it is most notable that Samsung continues to copy Apple"s efforts across all of its line of products. This is because Samsung has suddenly decided to dive into the smart speaker market, just weeks after Apple"s release of the HomePod. This is not a matter of opinion, it is a fact. If you do not believe me then simply research the countless documents, that were made public, of the court battles and feuds between them. Apple was even rewarded hundreds of millions of dollars in damage as a result of the lawsuits. If you search Samsung"s "Relative Evaluation Report on S1, iPhone", you will see an internal document from 2010 (publicly released in 2012) that shows point-blank that Samsung was copying Apple pixel by pixel. Another example of how Android as a whole is copying Apple is their blatant copy of Apple"s notch from the iPhone X. These such devices are: Noa N10, Doogee V, Asus ZenFone 5, One Plus 6 and LG G7. Another way Android companies are also copying Apple is by ditching the headphone jack. The phones that have done this are: Sony"s Xperia XZ2 and Nokia 8 Sirocco along with a few more lesser known brands. Most Android companies are also even copying Apple"s FaceID feature and copying the initially rumored in-screen fingerprint sensor that Apple is working on. The latest Samsung devices also have a slow motion feature. However, to activate it, it has to detect motion and it is otherwise impossible to manually activate the slow motion feature. On the iPhone, it is as simple as pressing the record button and you may record indefinitely (assuming you have the battery and the storage for it). Samsung also has a limit on how much video you can record in 4K or even just 1080p which I find to be quite ridiculous. Something that also must be addressed is Android"s horrific app switcher. On Apple"s latest iPhone X, it is as simple as dragging left and right on the bottom of the screen in order to switch seamlessly from app to app. Android"s one requires a double press of a button in order to open a cascade of apps presented in a very condensed and confusing form. The above reasons show that Apple is more innovative, user friendly and reliable than its Android counterparts.
