[G4 General] rockerrock:
I've always been an Android fan, I had the T-Mo G1 when it first came out - several Samsungs, Moto Atrix 4g and more. About 3 years ago I started working for the Jobs Mob (Apple) supporting iOS and decided to finally pick up an iPhone 6 to see what the hype is about. Part of it was, I've been supporting iOS for some years however never used an iPhone before - the irony. Oh, and when customers asked if I loved my new iPhone, I said - "Well, I have a Nexus 4 but I'm very happy for you and your new awesome iPhone"!

LG G4 vs iPhone 6:

iPhone: I've used iOS with Jailbreak running noslowanimations, wicked fast between apps and always ready to go in an instant

G4: Some noticeable lag, sometimes annoying to enraging between switching apps - even when closing all apps and starting fresh. Once/if root, will be removing all bloat and possibly overclocking if still laggy. Maybe Android M will be better or maybe I need to force GPU rendering?

iPhone: Root access via Jailbreak - hosts file blocker and other tweaks. Many devs to work on single jailbreak for all models (per iOS version)

G4: Ditto but possibly soon, fragmented per device efforts. One may argue when open bootloader and Root, more advanced modifications are available. I'm really hating current carrier+vendor efforts to lock down devices.. Yes, from a customer service standpoint - I wouldn't want to support (or tell them they are SOL) if the device is customized, but the no downgrade, permalocked bootloader garbage is getting old (don't get me started and forced OTAs - iOS doesn't even have that). At least offer "developer" models through carriers (in b4 "just get a nexus").

iPhone: Awesome camera, slowmo and burst mode. Seems to handle motion very well

G4: Also awesome camera. Seems to be a bit motion sensitive and more care is required to prevent blurry photos. No slowmo. Cool friggin lazer tech, need to shoot more photos to realize full potential and PHOTO SPHERE!

iPhone: SiRi virtual assistant. Somewhat mediocre - crappy maps (even currently). No way to choose default apps to handle requests

G4: Google Now wipes the floor with SiRi, default app selection - more relevant results, awesome maps and email integration. With Android M, going to be even better! Questionable privacy practices, night vs day between philosophy as Google = Ads revenue vs Apple = hardware revenue.

iPhone: Default-stock software is decent for what it is. Easy to pick up any iOS device and get started straight away. Yet again, no carrier bloat (although Stocks, Newsstand and the Apple Watch app can qualify as bloat)

G4: Android carrier+vendor ROMs are always a mixed bag with each one being different with various quality of apps. CARRIER BLOATWARE.

iPhone: Available Apps are mostly slick, polished and work well - some may argue that some apps are dumbed down. Lots of paid apps, devs want money, restrictive app approval process

Android: More advanced apps, more are unpolished but free. More open approval process. I love aCar, Torque and others not available on iOS

Overall: I was an Android fanboy but after using iOS for a good year - I believe each have their own place. I used to say, get iOS if you just want something that works out of the box, get Android if you want to customize. But with the trend of locking down devices - not too sure anymore. TBH, I should've just gotten a Nexus 6 (but then I would of regretted no SD expansion)... Regardless, I'm happy the iPhone is on eBay but honestly - it wasn't an absolutely necessary purchase as I thought going in. Let's see how Android M polishes things up this fall.
