Android is better than iOS where it matters and iOS is better where it doesn't.

Android;

1. Theme entire phone with or without rooting (download apps that match what you want to them i.e if you want iOS theme, get iOS photos, iOS reminders, etc.) This first point includes custom launchers, custom keyboards, custom fonts, and also live wallpapers. Don't like how your contacts app looks? Download another one. Don't like what any contacts app looks like? Then make one the way you want it.

2. Apps can be replaced by others. If I download Dolphin Browser, it can become my default browser for everything (if android is less than 4.2). If I download a gallery app, it can become my default for everything picture related. And I can go on for days with examples like this but I think you get the point.

3. Everything stock iOS can do, Android can also do; it might take extra apps to get the job done, but it can still do it. The same thing, however, can not be said for iOS.

4. With Super User, comes super responsibility. If you root your phone you can do things you never probably would have thought possible. Here's a few things that make rooting your phone worthwhile and awesome (besides the obvious flash a ROM/Recovery, backup, and full nandroid recovery).

a. Boot a new OS onto your PC directly from an app on your phone. Read that sentence again if you don't have an Android phone, and just let that sink in for a second ;)

b. Kick people off of a Wi-Fi hotspot, sniff people's passwords and use a ton of hacking apps that are equivalent to a professional hackers programs on their computer :rolleyes:

c. Have an Ad-Free phone with apps like adaway, or ad-free.

5. Android is always being updated with new features that actually matter. So if a new Android update it comes out, you most likely won't be disappointed, unlike some other updates #iOS 6

6. Google apps can be updated independently of an Android update. So, depending on what phone you have (Nexus vs. Samsung/HTC/Motorola/Other Manufacturer), Google could literally change what your entire phone looked like, without even coming out with an Android update, if they wanted to.

7. Automate your Android phone with apps like Tasker, or llama, based on almost anything you can think of.

8. I CAN DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THE INTERNET THAT I WANT, NOT JUST A FRICKIN PICTURE, WITHOUT DOWNLOADING AN EXTRA APP. *Ahem* Sorry for that, got a little riled up there. Now, back to the debate.

iOS;

1. Apps and games usually come to iOS first. Temple Run was on iOS first, and took ages to come to Android. It is getting better though, because Temple Run 2 came out on Android only 1 week after it came out on iOS. This is probably the biggest point I can make/think of.

2. iOS updates are rolled out to devices when Apple wants, but carriers decide when devices get an Android update (except in a few cases).

3. iOS' keyboard can change/adapt depending on which app you are using (or type of text box you're in) better than Android. Use Google Search on iOS and when you type, there are buttons on the keyboard that would otherwise be somewhere else besides on the keyboard in Android. This helps save space, and can help you type.

4. iOS can't have a custom launcher. Now, some people say that is a bad thing and you can't customize it and blah blah blah. If your jail broken, it is a good thing. Developers can mod basically one "launcher" (the iOS "launcher", obviously ;)) and distribute their mod, and everybody will be able to use that mod because they are all running the same "launcher". You can't do that with Android, because if I make a Nova launcher mod, guess what??? That modification only applies to Nova Launcher; not Apex, Holo, Adw or any of the other one-thousand and one launchers that you could possibly be using instead of Nova. It is getting better on android with the xposed framework, and the actual official cydia on android.

5. People think iOS is easier to use. So, if they use an Android phone, they are probably bound to say "but it was easier on iOS" or they will think "that probably would have been easier on iOS" even if the tasks they are trying to do are equally easy on either platform, or even easier to do on android.

So, out of all the iOS points I made; how many of them are actually deal breakers? I would say only the first 2. And For Android, how many of those are deal breakers? I would say they all are, except maybe tasker (can't live without it now that I've used it, but I did live without it before I got it so I'm not really sure on that one).
