    I was hoping you would reply to my post comparing iPhones and Samsung Phones with your justifications of your earlier points about quality and Android being a "useless OS".

    Or are you so Apple minded you are unable to compare iPhones with other phones and justify your opinions!. You must be Apples favourite kind of customer blindly buying everything you can from them because you think it's best without considering any of the competition.
    Or maybe you are posting from an Apple product that blocks unbiased comparisons of its products for your own protection lol

    Tried others and they all fail compared to the IPhone.

    Is that what Apple have conditioned you to think with their marketing?. When you use another device do you have an overwhelming feeling that the device is "failing" but can't explain why? :rotfl:

    Go on try and break free from the dumbing down all your Apple products have done and try and explain why an iPhone is better.
    You can do it!. :T

    Clue ... it'll take more than a one-line response to do so. :)

    I only moved to Apple in the last couple of years. There's very little difference between Android and iOS.

    However, I think Apple make better hardware. I've never got on with Samsung. I'm guessing their phones have got better, but couldn't stand the S2. HTC phones were much better.

    Having switched some other stuff to Apple (mac book, mac mini) they really are much better than the PC equivalent, although you pay more.

    That said, no-one I know has gone for the iPhone7. The headphones thing really is a big deal and there's not enough new to bother with the upgrade.
  • Android is fragmented, you are never assured of getting the latest operating system and some times bugs go unfixed for decades, but with Apple everyone gets the latest updates at the same time which makes Apple far better than dodgy Android by Google.

    So why do millions of people buy Android phones if it's so bad ? I've had both, currently have an Iphone but only have that as it came free with my contract. If it had been a Samsung i would have been just as happy. My son ditched Apple for Samsung, just accept that there are pros and cons for both.

    But that's not the point of Android!. Android is free software so it is available for everyone to use and modify to a certain degree how they want. Apple IOS is restricted to Apple and Apple devices only.
    So yes some bad manufacturers may decide not to update their devices or fix bugs but that doesn't make Android bad.

    But because it is free that means that it is more open and you don't have to "jailbreak" it like IOS to unlock it's full potential.

    Also if you get a Android phone from a big manufacturer such as Samsung they will keep it updated and fix any bugs quickly. Plus it's a better phone like I have said above.

    Saying that you will not use Android because some manufacturers don't update it and release dodgy copies is like saying; that you will not use a Petrol again because a supermarket allowed to much water in it once so it stopped alot of cars from working, therefore Petrol is dodgy and Petrol is bad!.
  • some times bugs go unfixed for decades,
    I just had to look at the history of android and the first release on phones was 2008, Are there any bugs unfixed since then?
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
