Androids Are Better Than iPhones

I will go over rebuttals, then back to my case. ====REBUTTALS====AFFORDABILITY"Yes, I can agree with my opponent that the Iphone is more advanced than the Android. However, according to statistics, with an android phone, you can acquire much more free applications and save money compared to apple. In 2011, 65.9% of android apps were free compared to the iPhone market having only 33.8% of their apps as free. "This argument stastically is true, however, I think this tid bit of information from this article is quite interesting: "A good number of Android apps — close to 80,000 according to Appsfire – are unpublished, meaning they're no longer available for download. Android users, it seems, are much less loyal to their apps, which are less "sticky" than those from iPhone; consumers use them less frequently or abandon them altogether after downloading. Another complication for Android is price. ". http://dealnews.com...; The android market won't be able to keep apps very free for very long, as it's app market is dwindling. The android Company can no longer fun free applications based on company budgets. So how long will these apps be free? Also even if they are free, this is no way makes the apps better. The Iphone gives people a plethora of choices for applications IE; games, tv, useful tools, etc. The ones that are pay for only mean that they are of higher quality then those of the androids. Another thing that you may find intersting, is that paying for apps is completely unneccesary. There is a thing called "Jail breaking" That you can do to an Iphone, that is actually pretty popular. What this does is it makes all applications completely free! I would also like to note, that this is something you can't do to an android phone. . http://www.androidmemo.com...TRYING BEFORE YOU BUY"They limit you to the basics. Yes, I agree that for good quality apps, you should have to pay. However, on the Android market at least, they allow you to try a "Lite" version of an application before you purchase it. "This information is completely false. The Iphone allows you to play "lite" version of games before you use them as well. . http://itunes.apple.com... "Also, on an android, your allowed to buy an app and test it for some time (approx. 15 minutes) and go back and click to receive a full refund if you don't like the application. This feature is not on an iPhone. "This is completely unneccesary however. Like you said, there are lite versions off apps people can try before they buy anything. Why would someone not try it on the lite version before purchasing anyway? This argument just proves that the android maker lacks faith in their apps. SYNCING"Another popular distinction between the androids and the iPhones are that iPhones need to be synced all the time. With an android, any changes you make via a computer will automatically change on your cell phone or tablet as well. However, for iPhones you always have to sync the device to the computer and enter your username and password for everything. " Where exactly is your source for this information? The android isn't an Ipod so it doesn't have the same music capabilites as the Iphone. Any music on the Android must be manually put on or installed, or even purchased. The Iphone works just like an Ipod. You only need to sync it when you want to update the music list. The Iphone is far superior in music uploads in this area, as all you have to do is plug it in to sync it, rather than manually dragging all your music into your android. However there is also an App that is exlcusive to Apple called "Ifile". This app is not contained on the android market, and will completely update your music for you without even plugging your Ipod in. Yes, my dear, there truly is an app for everything. . http://modmyi.com... SHARING OF MEDIA"However, they updated a popular app that many people now use called Bump It in order to share music. However, with an android phone, we can share music without having an extra app. All this does is make things a step more difficult for the iPhone users. " First off since I have personally used the application called "bump" I know that it does not live up to it's name. When you bump that music over, it will still need the purchasing sign. Same with android. I noticed that you lack proof of how to share music on the Android. Is this because you know that is requires purchase just as the Iphone does? The only way to get free music is via free music download applications. Sharing music requires paying on both the Iphone and the Android. Next you provide a link showing an increase in android sales. You forget to mention however that this time period excluded a recent Iphone creation. This was when the android first became a noticable entity. Let's look at the sales from the Iphone 4. When the Iphone 4 originally came out, it broke the record for sales. This is within the last year, compared to my opponents source from 2010. . http://www.pcmag.com...====MY CASE===== C1: DROPPED! PLEASE EXTEND! MUSIC: DROPPED! PLEASE EXTEND! FEATURES: DROPPED! PLEASE EXTEND! APPS: DROPPED! PLEASE EXTEND! ====CONCLUSION====While my opponent has made some arguments that fall into the same general category as my arguments, she has failed to directly respond to any of the arguments I have made in my case. I have succesfully refuted all of my opponents points. My opponent lacks proof for certain arguments, which I hope you, the audience, disregaurd.
