[Android General] eViLsTieFel:
This is one of the more interesting questions. I do believe that Apple revenue of course includes the app sales. Does anybody know more about this point?

And what about HTC? Look here!
[Android General] imnuts:
My opinion is that Android is more secure than iOS. It is open-source, so anyone can look at the code (most of it anyway), find issues, fix them, and then submit the fix for inclusion in the next update. There is also SEAndroid being worked on by the same group that does SELinux. Apple is closed source, so when a problem is found, you have to wait for Apple to fix it. You can't tell when the fix will come, or if it will even come. Nor do you have the option to include the fix yourself, as there is no way to patch it without the source to build from.

Isn't the iPhone security able to be easily bypassed by anyone, regardless of the phone being locked or not? Android seems to be the more secure platform for most things from what I've seen, but I'm not a security researcher, so anything is possible.
[Android General] Bloodflame:
another idiot Apple fanboy writes a bunch on non-factual nonsense. truth is, he knows Android is killing Apple, and he can't accept it, so instead he puts Android down to make himself feel better about being an iPhone lover. it's a classic example of the most basic human psychology.

let him be a fanboy, and we'll enjoy our amazing platform in peace. :p

You said it m8 :D:D:D
[Android General] alunral:
The funny thing about this...which kind of invalidates everything he says, is that Samsung is running Android. I don't think Samsung has a single phone out right now that isn't Android.

"No one wants an Android tablet" No, it's just that the iPad has a name behind it. If not for that name, it'd be one of the worst selling pads on the market.
[Android General] mentallo:
I think when the general population talk about the IPHONE they don't think of iOS but the Form factor of the phone. I also think that the general non techie population doesn't really know what Android REALLY is. This why every phone that's not an iPhone is considered a "Droid" to them.

Non techie people are seduced by the shiny and admittingly good design of the iPhone and as long as Facebook and Instagram works on it they are happy and they "love their iphone".

Wow :what: where to start. The incorrect " facts " . The overt Apple fanboy flare. The way he should've started is by saying, " all the information you are about to given is conjecture and opinion " . Well I guess that's why some people buy, Apple products. Then there are those that think, research, and make the smart choice, Android.

Its not that ipad has a name for itself, its that apple had a name for itself a long time ago. When the iPod came out it was a big hit. It then evolved into the iPod touch, which was alright for a while. Then they made the iPhone. Everyone was already hooked on apples products, thus not giveing android too much of a chance. Except for those who want something different, so they went and got an android. Slowly people are going to leave the iPhone cause they are going to get bored of the same old SH*T. Basicly the iPod is apples reputation. The ios is boring and kinda plain.

Who cares about what sells better? How about what performs better? And I know I would much rather be able to do whatever the hell I want with the phone like customizing, and tweaking the phone to run faster, and not having to pay for everything. And you can't even do anything on the computer without a jailbreak or being annoyingly restricted to iTunes!

IPhone sucks! ANDROID RULES!!!
[Android General] tiagoSequeira:
This is quite simple to respond to. IPhone is for mainstream users, every friend of mine says iPhone is the best phone until I show them some android devices. We live in a world where all the crap which has an apple on the back is better by the eyes of people that don't even know what the market has to offer.

Another thing is, android is still growing, and iOS has much has it keep evolving, I believe it's pretty much that: a phone with the homescreen full of icons and with no customizing whatsoever; a phone that in my opinion gives a terrible user experience.

I'm no fan of Samsung devices but it's true they're doing a great job on expanding android.
[Android General] stamatis:
he's saying:

Nobody wants an Android tablet. looooooooooooooooooool

Around the world, iPhone is the preferred device. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

I seriously doubt any Android device will rival iPhone 4S -- even by the time of the next iPhone. loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Almost no one has the latest version of Android.loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

in short words, all the article is lol!
[Android General] ray3andrei:
That article is retarded I mean no wants an android tablet? I have an Android tablet and I'm happy with it, iOS is a phone os and its a bad one, android is so much better, and what most people dont know is that android crashes less than ios,

People say that iOS is easier to use.. OK it is because you have all apps on your homescreen which is lame, no widgets... iPhone is outclassed by a ton of high end android phones,... in fact android is the preferred Os it has like 50percent of the market while iOS only 30. But the profit is divided that's why apple earns so much,

Samsung sold more phones than apple yet apple has the bigger pocket,

If you compare deeply android with iOS you can clearly see that with android you can do so much more, especially the tablet version, iOS is not optimized for tablets I mean you have some small icons and Huge space between them.

If you want android you have so many variants from screen size to weight to hardware, hardware buttons, capacitive buttons, software buttons, shock resistant, you name it

With iOS you have only one variant

I love to PIMP MY RIDE! So what are talking about??
[Android General] Bidalos:
Android dead? Are you kidding me? It's been a week I entered Android world and you say now Android dead? No way.

Firstly I saw iPhone 3gs and iPhone 4 before I got my SGA. I tested Iphone 3gs and soon I got bored, in only one day using it.... Then I tested Iphone 4 and what da hell did I just use? Yes you know it's the same 3gs, I didn't see any difference between 3gs and 4. Then few days after I decided to buy an android phone and bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace S8530. The first day I had it I didn't even tested it, but already liked it, maybe easy to use. And that same day I already flashed a custom ROM from xda tutorial, yeah I broke warranties and such but hell yeah it was worth it. Then I tested some custom ROMs, now I'm on CM 7.2 Miracle V4, and so far the best for me. I'm still exploring Android world so stop saying Android dead, stupid borned-minded iFans.... sorry. So far I'm enjoying my SGA along with Android! Long life Android!

[Android General] Traniz:
Then the "what are we talking about" was fake?
[Android General] icatt24:
I find that article very hard to digest. Trust me, Google knows what it's doing. Give them a couple more years and they will be neck and neck. The android give you a lot more freedom than the iPhone and freedom always wins.
[Android General] charmthief88:
Except the iPhone isn't a Ferrari, Jaguar really but the average user perceives it to be. I'd equate it at best to an Audi tt or VW Golf Gti with the profit margin of a Mercedes Benz. Has some appeal and performance, gets solid reviews and viewed as that it simply works. But when it comes down to the hardware and ability to modify and customize Android phones are the a range of Cars from a Ford Focus to Mustangs to Dodge Chargers, to SUV's to Nissan Skyline both old and new model or Hyundai Tiberuan. And most of them are actually easier to drive and smoother, but lack the perception of being so by the general public.
[Android General] chaki-:
Trani when you state something like that it is good to clarify in what way you are saying it. Either which phones are Ferrari etc and which are Renault etc.

So if you do that we can be on same page and talk about :)
[Android General] Traniz:
The Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo etc are the Androids.

Kia, Hyundai is for the mainstream people that don't know anything about the product part from the badge/logo/name.
[Android General] fl4r3:
This is what I have found with other iPhone users...they've all started to realise the Apple upgrades don't really offer much more so stick with older models or are switching.

They also ask what I think of my phone (sometimes they're open minded, other times they try to defend their iPhones even though I've said nothing bad :confused: WTF?).

My response is always the same tho...'just turn my phone on and have a play'. And they almost always follow with 'this isn't android!?!!' And I'm like 'android can be what ever you want it to be!' lol.
[Android General] chaki-:
Now it's clear. I thought you are the next ifan boy arround the corner. And again can't see much identity. Android is highly customizable what i could not say about Porsche etc.... Even comparing cars to phones is rubbish (nothing personal).

But everyone has a view and that's yours, i respect that ;)

The next thread should be " My Ferrari lags to much and can't accelarate when browsing" :D:D:D:D
[Android General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
I can't actually believe a thread like this exists. And what the hell is all this car comparison in it?
[Android General] chaki-:
I can't believe that the prices in Velingrad are so high but they are :p

Just talking about an article. I can't see something wrong about.
[Android General] Kannibalism:
this post is even more funny than the post were the journalist said only interesting iphone people should use instagram when it first came out on android LOL :P
[Android General] dodgebizkit:
i dont think any of the 3 major platforms are dead, and i wouldnt want them to be, choice and competition are great, fanboyism and sheepism is bad, the only reason you should stick solidly your current system when upgrading is if you have invested heavily in that system, otherwise, each time you should shop around for what brings you the best experience. WP7 is a different monster to what it was last year, Android is becoming less buggy and more friendly on every update and on more powerful phones and iOS is getting more functionality and opened up more every time, so really you need to keep an eye out and try them all out before deciding, unless you stand to lose a whole stack of apps that you've paid for.
[Android General] chaki-:
Much truth is there you say my young paduan :p:p:p

After i served honorable to symbian so many years i jumped to iOS. I stuck there for 4 months and i gotta say i hated it.....really! And since i am using Android i like it more and more every day. I don't wanna even try WP7, i have couple pc at home. But i don't judge anything. I still carry my N8 with me most of the time.

There are so many guys who are discovering Android every day and that is the reason why nobody could say " is dead". But competion is always good for us.

Keep it goin:cool:
[Android General] MrTaco505:
IPhone SUCKS!!!!
[Android General] AlwaysDroid:
lol IMO android is just getting started. It is catching up and gaining popularity hugely in the last couple years. The war is just getting started.
[Android General] epithetic:
I like the fact how he jumps from 'iPhones make more money' to 'iPhone/iOS is the preferred platform'.

Android is not supposed to make big bucks at the expense of customers. That would be why current Android market share is at 60+% while iOS is steadily falling (~30%) despite Apple having a 75% share of profits.

What Android is trying to offer is an open, market-friendly *platform* (although I agree it's arguable how successful it is at it). Apple, on the other hand, builds on the prestige of selling high value *devices*. Unlike Android, iOS was never intended to gain market spread, which is why it's closed and limited to iPhones/iPods in the first place: the OS is merely secondary to the device itself. Naturally if you're trying to sell a device on that merit, you're going to have to approach it differently in terms of hardware and investment.

It's just a radically different market/approach, and trying to conflate the marketing of a line of devices and the attempt of establishing a platform together into one doesn't make much sense.
[Android General] Traniz:
It's just that iCrap products are the mainstream stuff today and those low quality crap small hatchback cars are similar to that.
[Android General] zelendel:
Ok guys. While I agree with everything that was said. Lets look at it from outside the box. We are the 1% of the users in the world. While I hate the Ifail as much as everyone else. It has its appeal to the average user. It is simple and idiot proof for the most part. If you are looking at an Android device things matter to us that most people dont worry about. We care about Over clocking and under volting, we care about Roms and tweaking. These things dont matter to most people. This is just the way of things.
[Android General] Traniz:
The worst part is when those people that use idiot proof gadgets call us elitists and not the actual elit way but the way it makes us the odd ones.

It's like agreeing with a person that thinks the earth is flat/god is real/santa is real/tooth fairy is real.

It goes against my nature and against survival instincts to follow those that would commit suicide by putting their heads in the fire unless someone told them they shouldn't do it (Since fire doesn't come with a big sticker that says you shouldn't do this and that).

TL;DR I don't bend over to those that hinders evolution.
[Android General] zelendel:
I'm sorry someone calling you a name bothers you so much. Now I am not small minded enough to say god is not real but it has which has no bearing on the topic at hand. So lets leave religion out of the topic.
[Android General] klaudyuxxx:
73% of the smartphone market is took by Apple? :D LOL

after a simple "smartphone market share" search you'll see that apple has about 25% of the market. I think the author brian was a bit drunk when he wrote that article.
[Android General] mistermentality:
I hate to state the obvious but when most characters on tv and in films use iphones or ipads its not surprising people think those products are better and that android is not doing as well.

Android is far from dead but if your an average joe then the media is your main info about things and that's usually biased to ios.

You people that hate on the iPhones are idiots. iPhones are amazing, some of the HIGH SPEC android phones are good, windows phones are great. Just some meet different people's needs more than others. PERIOD
[Android General] chaki-:
I don't hate apple. I don't like people like you who are ready to sell everything just to have anything apple brings to the market. I don't be surprized even if you guys have cult or somethin:D

No one is sayin that apple has bad product. It's the overrated cheap China materials which is expensive like h*ll on the market for no reason!

So, before you start callin names you better be stand up and look arround you ;)
[Android General] marianop89:
LOL! Looks like we´re having a iphone fan going on here... Android is noooot dead, even more, it´ll still growing a lot more. This remember me like Linux and Windows fight a few years from now. Both are great plataforms (i use both) but for everyday use i prefer many times my Android devices for a lot a things.
[Android General] sims34:
Seriously, how can these people compare iBrick with Android? And i'm not saying this because i'm a fanboy. Android has many personalising features,lots of free apps and better performance...

Oh, shall i say that an Android smartphone with same performances is way cheaper than iBrick 4s.

Now that iPhone 5 is coming, if u wanna get it, sell your car first.

Oh, just now i had read some statistics with the money that gets these Companies from their app store. Even tho App Store has a bigger revenue, on Android, if your work is good, you can get the same money from donations from a Custom Rom lol,
[Android General] azreezalazrul@gmail.com:
Lol brian,,jealously of android,growing and growing:banghead:
[Android General] retsam88:
Android dead? You sure serious?

Thats a bull. New devices coming everyday and people still buying them, even more now then ever. Your average Joe doesn't know s*** about how good Android is doing right know
[Android General] Zorigo:
There's some truth in saying HTC and Motorola are 'floundering' i dont know the financial stats of motorola, but HTC are posting losses.

But this article is full of stuff he made up, no facts and stuff that is simply incorrect. He validates his article with NO sources, NO facts and some very interesting statistics.

Besides, this is some guy's blog or whatever, this isn't a big tech site posting this, so this really shouldn't matter to anyone at all.
[Android General] elementalfx:
Come ooon. Seriously? I mean lol wtf :D First of all I am not Apple-ist so I am not Android-ist either but wtf is that Android is dead? Android is an Os that is evolving so Apple with their iOs was evolving in its begining once. Why trowing android to out of reach for people who would buy it. There are still lots of people that cant afford iPhone and would like to have the equal performance and user experience for reasonable and affordable price as iPhone users. I personally cant afford iphone but I was able to buy an phone that is capable of running 3 different fully functional OSes an windows mobile 6.5 that i can say is dead and lots of people will agree with that. next one is windows phone 7 which is great os and the last one of course android. Also there are other linux distros like ubuntu or debian and more that are possible to run on HD2 and all that for 200 euros. Powerfull affordable phone isnt it? And that is 2years old phone. Not saying that it is not an native android phone and still is able to run fully functional android OS and produce great user experience even for gamer. It is capable of running high def 3d games like real racing 2 or tintin adventures and lots of other games. There are also better native android phones for reasonable price on the market that people would buy if they cant afford iphone or ipad.

There are also other factors like lets say you have first experience with computer ever. Lets say in first case you have PC with windows or linux and you will use it for long years and then suddenly you have first experience with Mac computer. If you were used to linux or windows you wouldnt migrate to Mac immediately. So if somebody get used to android He will probably stay with it. If somebody get used to iphone He will stay with iphone. It is just about user choice and affordabillity. I personally like iphone and if i had money for iphone i would probably buy it long time ago because i like the experience that iphone is offering but there are also some dis about iphone that i dont like but android is offering me other experience that iphone cant. Probably the most limiting factor of iphone for me is price. For now android is offering me enough as iphone.

Maybe the author of that article is right but only in usa not in the world and usa is not the whole world.
[Android General] mcord11758:
I have an iphone. I guess it depends on what you consider "Amazing". The last 2 releases of the Iphone have been about a year behind in comparison to high end android devices. They are simple to use, somewhat reliable, and have a huge app store. If you like a shoebox, apple has a phone for you. they poke a couple holes in it so you can still breath but only let you out for a walk once in a while.
[Android General] altgamer:
You totally didn't sound like a fanboy there... and it's very easy to compare an iPhone with Android, they're both in the same category and each has it's own pros/cons. As far as selling a car to get an iPhone.. really? I don't recall my iPhone costing more than my previous Android phones on contract.

Yes, the iPhone has a 25-30% market share, however as the article actually says, it does have 73% of industry profits (which is correct if I recall), while only having that 25-30% share.

The article itself to me seems more of an opinion, while the iPhone has won in some aspects, Android is not dead and I don't see it happening anytime soon. And I wouldn't say Motorola, HTC, etc are floundering compared to some other companies in the market.

Overall, my opinion.. it's impressive how far Android has come, especially with the head start the iPhone had, providing companies listen to what consumers want I see no reason Android won't continue to gain.

This - if you are a hacker, love messing with codes and custom roms to make something work well, and then make it work to suit you personally, then you will be happy with an android, if you want a fast smooth experience out of the box, (99%) bug free and easy to use, you have iPhone, if you the fastest most sociable and slick OS with a love it or hate it interface that keeps you uptodate with everything at a glance but suffers with app quality (besides having the most beautiful skype and FB apps of any platform, the rest of the apps are lacking), then windows phone is for you.

all of you people bashing an OS or fanboying another are idiots and look pathetic.

I love windows phone, i really like iOS and I'm thinking that Android is just about reaching the stage and hardware capability that I could enjoy using it, with the new S3 about to come.
