iPhone vs. Android

Response to your rebuttals: "1. Android OS is more for active users" You speak of active as in being actively careful. A smartphone is meant to be a help to you. You can be an active user and use it to it's full potential, but the way you speak in that paragraph makes it sound like you have to spend a fair amount of time just to make sure it's secure. "2. Google vs. Apple" Not much to say because it sounds like you're agreeing with me here. "Storage" I do agree that it's easier to upgrade more storage on certain Android phones. However, we're talking about phones here. Unless someone has hours and hours and hours of media on their device, Apple's 64gb option is almost always more than enough. Nowadays though, it doesn't matter quite as much though. Most media is stored online. iCloud stores users' photos and videos, while iTunes or whichever other service they bought it from stores their music and movies so it doesn't take up space on your device. So, to recap: It's sometimes easier to get more storage on certain Android devices, but in-phone storage is not as crucial as it was a couple years ago. I agree that the topics of graphics and processing should be skipped because although some Android phones have higher specs, the iPhone is designed to work with the specs it has and is not "laggy" so it doesn't make much of a difference. "1. App storage amount can be extremely diverse, and it depends on the app. 2. You can remove the apps off of the phone, but it requires a slightly different process that the device usually does not tell you." 1. Although app storage is diverse, when you have duplicates it's obviously just a waste of space. 2. To uninstall these stock apps on Android is, as you said, possible but requires rooting, which is not the easiest thing in the world and the average user wouldn't take the time to do it, and so would be stuck with the bloatware. Whether or not there is reason for the devices being different and changes being necessary to the OS to make it compatible with each different phone does not change the fact that it puts users at risk. As I said, this is a problem and needs to be fixed. At the very least, they could release security patches that would cover a wider range of devices. Whether or not security is a priority during the building of an OS doesn't matter. Eventually it will be. If it isn't considered users will be at risk. Yes, it's true any smartphone users' data is at risk, but wouldn't the least risky option, which appears to be Apple's products, be the better choice if you're going to do it anyway? Security may not be a priority, but that only makes the situation worse. In response to the last large paragraph: Google does make lots of money, but it's not like they have a limited number of people working for them. They can use that money to hire more people that can watch over certain aspects of the company. There is no reason Android should not have better support. If they're going to make so many products, they have to be able to back them up. ____________________________________________________________________ Sorry, that took a bit longer than expected. Also, I see I forgot to include my sources in my last post. Here the main ones are real quick: ____________ http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org...(operating_system) http://en.wikipedia.org... apple.com apple.com/iphone samsung.com https://support.google.com... http://www.consumerreports.org... ____________ So, I believe I have spoken on all of the major topics and am ready for my opponent to say whatever last things he'd like and then we're ready for voting. :) It was a pleasure debating with you!
