Android > iOS overall

Great argument Himoverthere! Thanks for making this debate and may the best man win! Nice Job with the last argument, but it had many flaws and holes. One VERY large one came in the 3rd actually paragraph. We are talking about ANDROID vs iOs not the iPhone 5c/s against the Galaxy S4 that is a very different debate so all of this --> Next, the technology itself. Forget about benchmarks, forget about how quick we believe the iPhone with iOS to be, all android phones tend to have higher clock rates, more cores, more miliamp hours (battery), higher resolution, even just bigger, and in general more INVESTMENT in the quality of the phone's hardware. I know this is a debate about iOS and Android, not the phones running them or the company, but this is relevant because the most innovation is going on via phones that work outside of the realm of iOS and inside the realm of Android. Specifically, take the Galaxy S4 again. The phone has the Quad-core 1.6 GHz Snapdragon processor, compared to the iPhone's Dual-core 1.3GHz. 1080x1920 pixels vs. 640x1136 pixels. 2 Gb RAM vs. 1 Gb RAM. 13 Megapixel Camera vs. 8 Megapixels. Mathematically how is it that the iPhone is capable of shortchanging the customer in literally every aspect of the phone and charge more? Here we realize that the question of iPhone vs. Android phones is not really about specifications at all, but about what Apple iPhone users perceive to be improvements. Notice that the iPhone is compared to a myriad of Android phones which are all capable of basically everything the iPhone can and more. If you want a phone that is hardware-wise better than the iPhone, systematically, in every category, you don't have to look very hard. Moreover, the competition between these different companies working on the same platform means you have the Galaxy S5 with a monstrous battery, and the new HTC with Ultrapixel support, impressive audio features...There's a lot of improvement and innovation going on in the Android platform, but lack of competition in iOS has left the iPhone unwilling to try and beat it's previous products. As an anecdote, one of my friends loved iPhone himself, and switched to the 5s, but disliked iOS 7 and switched back to the iPhone 5, because Apple just didn't improve it by that much, besides the software. Doesn't count. That whole argument is INVALID (votes please notice this). In rebuttle to the second paragraph; you also have many flaws here. The iPhone came before the first android smart phone. Resulting in that Android copied not Apple. This is key, that the iPhone did infact come first in 2007 before the Android HTC in 2008. So infact iOS came first meaning that android copied apple. In the last paragraph of Himoverthere's final agrument he says this "In fact, 59% of iPhone users admit to BLIND LOYALTY to the iPhone, without even researching other phones!" If that fact is true that means that out of the 41,152,350 iPhones sold 16,460,940 coustomers have researched the iPhone (41,152,350 /100*40=16,460,940) Say that everyone who bought an Android phone had researched it before hand there would be 8,450,420, which indeed is smaller than the amount of people who actully research the iPhone. So even though "59% are blindly loyal" still there are more people who have research the iPhone and BOUGHT it. To quote himoverthere "In fact, there is an almost 0 percent of iPhone users who have moved to iPhone in the recent future from an actual competitor" That couldn't have been said worse. Infact 21% of recent iPhone buyers CAME FROM AN ANDROID PHONE. That is ALOT! Where only 9% of iPhone users switch to Android. That statement was completly and utterly incorrect. Infact more people go from Android to Apple than the other way around. I will now restate all of my arguments that were never rebuttled making them perfect and true. <iOs and Apple has a much more sophisticated music program. Itunes is both a computer program and an Iphone/Ipad app. Music bought on the computer will sync to the computer through bluetooth or cord. It works the otherway too. 1 account can be put on up to 5 computers linking a family between work, home, school, and thier phones. > <Find my Iphone is an anti-theft program. It tracks your Iphone in case of theat.> <Ios and Apple have a much better and bigger app store, with large variteies of apps it is easy to download in a nice 'Beautiful' app store> <Overall iOS is better for many reasons, big name apps in the APPSTORE, iTunes, iMessage, iCloud and a more beautiful, yet powerful design.> <To quote http://blog.undolock.com...... "Maybe someone will use all [Assistive] features of a mobile device for people with disabilities is not too important. But all the users who have poor hearing, vision and other functional disorders, should definitely consider it on iPhone." The iPhone has many features for people with disablities. Those help the thousands of people who cannot use other phones like Androids.> Please remeber voters that we are looking at the OS (Operating System) not the devices. So design looks, apps, music and assistive touch are key componets. http://www.applegazette.com... http://www.loopinsight.com... http://www.numberof.net... http://www.numberof.net... http://ipod.about.com... http://www.apple.com......http://www.gizmocrazed.com......http://www.wired.com......http://www.apple.com......http://www.apple.com...... http://androidcommunity.com... http://www.techhive.com... http://gigaom.com...
