[HTC Rezound] antp121:
IOS is not an innovative os. It is just very solid. The amount of things it can do is very limited but what it does do, it does very well. Sure its not at the customizability of android but its such a smooth, solid experience, what it lacks in customizability it makes up for in stability and longevity of the os.

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Well it's much smoother and it's waaay smaller lol. But actually, the size is pretty nice. I'm not going to lie though, I really miss the notification LED and the headphone jack being on the top. Build quality on the 5S is way better than the N4, not that the nexus is bad. Camera is much better and the flash actually works without completely blowing out the photo. LTE is nice, although not really relevant to me as I'm always on wifi. I'm happy with it, though I can see how some of you guys wouldn't like it.

I'm also just more of an iOS guy, since I have more money and time invested in Apples ecosystem because of my iPod 2G from like 4 years ago. I also own a Mac and an iPad, so the iPhone just makes more since for me right now.

And given the number of apps, not to mention the fact that even the same apps on iOS look and feel much better than their android counterparts, I am willing to forgive the lack of openness. Keep in mind I have invested more money in the iOS ecosystem. And to be completely honest, I leave most aspects of the system (keyboard, theme, stock apps, etc) unchanged on android, so not being able to change them on iOS isn't a huge deal

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

And no I'm not. I have owned an android phone for the last 2 years. The only reason I got an iPad is because at the time they didn't have things like the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, and android just wasn't ready for the tablet form factor. I have a Mac because that's literally the desktop OS I have used all my life, and you can't deny that apple laptops are beautiful, if somewhat overpriced.

Let me sum this up.

Android:

Don't like the keyboard? Change it.

Don't like the style of the OS? Change it.

Want to make you phone super fast? Do it.

Want to run the latest version of the OS? Do it.

Apple:

Don't like the keyboard? Deal with it.

Don't like the style of the OS? Deal with it.

Want to make you phone super fast? Too bad.

Want to run the latest version of the OS? Too bad.

I could make this list go on and on and on......

"make your phone super fast"

That's not how it works.

"Want to run the latest version of the OS"

says the guy with a Verizon non-Nexus phone
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Let me rehash my point:

I don't change the keyboard

I don't change the theme/style of the OS

iPhones run plenty fast, so do most androids.

I find it ironic that you bring up the point about the latest version of the OS. How many phones have Android 4.3? Not even .1% of all 1B androids. How many iPhones have iOS 7? Over 250 million.

Sent from my iPhone
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
But rooted you can always get the latest os from devs that creates roms for us. I have 4.3 on my rezound and it hasn't been released for that phone on the Verizon network. So yeah what he said is true. we can run many different version of an os where as with apple you're sol and hope they think you need a feature that you want in the next weak update.

[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
You can't say that as if Google had it their way all phones would be updated just like apple does. Google just deals with the software and it's the phone makers and carriers that drags their feet on the updates.

Apple updates their os basically once a year with a new phone and. Leaves out key features on the older iPhones so people will have to buy a new phone to get those features. Case in point is the iPhone 4s. If you wanted siri you had to buy the 4s. All older versions didn't get it. With Google when they release a new os all their nexus phones and tablets gets the same full update and nothing is left out to make you buy a new phone or tablet.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That is a fair point. But in reality, most androids are still stuck on old versions. While Siri didn't run on the iPhone 4, most new features of new versions of iOS run on all the iPhones, unless there is a legitimate technical limitation (eg iphone 4 not being powerful enough to support flyover mode in maps) the only exception I can think of to that is the fact that the iPhone 4 didn't get panorama mode in the camera, which no one really even uses.

Ashton never said it was Google's fault that most Android phones don't get updated.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Yeah that's true but that isn't Google's doing. If apple did what Google did and let other phone makers make their phones. They would be in the same boat as Google is. I think that's why Google came out with the nexus line so they could updates the devices quickly and push out the middle man. Think this is why Verizon won't have another nexus device as they blocked Google from updating the gnex.

When you come down to it apple is just watered down of what they could be. It's basically a mediocre device that is marketed as a premium device.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

That's because the rezound was a sense only phone and had to wait for a dev to make a kernel to run that would run aosp. Every HTC phone that runs sense has to wait for a non sense kernel and so on to be made. That's one reason why it took so long.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I honestly would say the iPhone is a premium device. Maybe it is mediocre in specs, but even then, not really. It outperforms even quad core phones in benchmarks (also, the Moto X is kind of the same story) and it's the smoothest phone you can buy. The only 640p and small screen is really the only mediocre part about it. The build quality is second to none. The iPhone is a bit overpriced, yes but it's a really solid phone.

[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You can't compare benchmarks of different OSes. :P

The smoothness you feel is that when you touch the screen, almost all CPU activity is halted so it can update the screen. It is a genius way to make a device feel fast, even though it isn't doing anything else.

iOS doesn't even have true multitasking. When you switch apps the other ones are just halted and stored away.

I will give you quality of hardware. There are some really crappy android phones out there.

The screen is a joke. People wanted a larger screen so apple made it taller. O_o. It looks so silly.

For what you pay the iPhone is really not that great compared to an S4, HTC One, or Note 3.

Yet I still reccomend an iPhone to 99% of people because it is so easy to use. (By easy I mean featureless and dumbed-down)
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
How does widescreen on an iPhone look silly and widescreen on your HTC One is fine?

Unless you're referring to the large bezel rather than the screen itself, then yes.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yes you can if there running the same Benchmark tests. Obviously I can't compare a Quadrant score on android to a Geekbench scribe on iOS, but why shouldn't I be able to compare a Geekbench test on both OS's?

iOS 7 now does allow for some true multitasking, though it only enables it for apps you use a lot.

And the screen is 16:9 just like your HTC one. It's just .7 inches smaller.

If this post needs to be deleted, I understand but I have an honest question with nothing but good intentions. My first college roommate and best friend of the last 21 years passed away leaving behind his 6 year old boy. His sister gave me his S2 at his memorial and asked me to get his sons pics off his phone. Problem is, it's locked with a code and no longer in service. On the display it says that it is about to erase the phone and return to factor defaults. Is there a way for me to get the pics off the phone at this point?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
If it's rooted there might be a way through ADB.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
No, I know for a fact it's not. He used his phone like a phone and a camera. Nothing else.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
You don't need root to use ADB.

I'm assuming the pics aren't on the SD card, because that would be easy.

If it's on the internal storage, the last resort is to tear apart the phone and find the flash storage, and figure out how to read it.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
I wish I had the knowhow for that.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
No you don't, but with root you can run a shell as root over ADB and dump a partition out to your computer.

Why would I want to only be able to see through half or even 1/4 of the screen for multiplayer?

Also, dolphin + ps3 controllers = 1080p multiplayer fun. I emulate everything. Except the enigma that is the cell processor in the PS3. No developer likes that.

Also, with the delayed release, that isn't any choice of the developer. MS and Sony pay publishers for exclusives. We don't need that crap. With thousands of amazing free indie games, we can play those while we wait a few weeks.

So how do you play multiplayer on your computer when your friends come over to play? That's right you don't unless they bring their rigs over or you take yours to their house. That's the beauty of a console games and if you can't play on a split screen that's on a widescreen tv then you need to go to the eye Dr and get your eyes checked. I am not knocking computers as each system has it's own pluses and minuses but it seems you feel threatened by console games as they are getting up to par with computer versions.

Split screen wouldn't be so bad if the games actually ran at 1080p with textures anywhere above low.

Console = slow compact computer.

So a better statement would be; Look how far computers have come.

It just doesn't make any sense to buy a PS4 and a $800 PC.

Up to par with computers? You have to be joking. My 4 year old 660 Ti will crush any PS4 or Xbox One for years to come.
