Well, I think IOS is better than Android product-wise, but especially after Steve Jobs died Apple has been suuuuuuper greedy with the time of how long for the next release to come out. Instead of being one month it should be 6 months at the minimum. And it's not even like there is a significant difference between most of them. On the other hand, Android is way to quiet about their products and don't get anybody hyped up for their new releases.

Well, you did get the 100th reply…

Are you talking about product launches or iOS updates? Because I have mixed feelings on both.

For products: An annual launch is just something that happens. Some additions are insignificant and sometimes I feel that it could be launched without the fanfare. But to hold back an advancement that is ready for production makes no sense. If someone is in the market for a high-end smartphone, they should be able to get the most advanced features that are stable (keyword here) in a smartphone. If you were to buy something with the high cost of a smartphone, would you still buy it knowing that features are possible but being held back? I wouldn't.
Not every new device launch is going to change the world. Apple's “Biggest change to the iPhone since the iPhone” simply isn't something that should happen every year. But every year they should put out the best iPhone they can put together.

For software: Software updates follow two main types: Bug fixes and Feature additions. Most updates you see are bug fixes. These are really something that should if anything happen more often. Maybe it would be better if it auto-installed these fixes overnight, but they should be pushed as soon as they are ready and tested. As for features, I feel that they need to slow down and take a more refined approach. It is understandable that they want to release a new version with the new iPhone, but it's unnecessary. Especially the past few years, where an iPhone design changes in two-year increments. Give software time. Test it for more bugs. Think through everything you put in there, and make sure it's a worthwhile thing to add. Don't rush, and make every update be the exact vision for the product with no compromises.

Oh, I did :3

Yeah, I agree. Apple has gone way downhill since when Steve exploded (google search “iphone hon”, need I say more?)

I was talking about the new products themselves, but I agree with both.

While I own neither operation system, I have used both extensively. But I must say Android is far superior to iOS simply because of customization. The only problem I have with it is that it is so open source, if you add too many customizations, it will slow down the device.

I think the main feature of Android devices are their low price points. While customization is a cool aspect, I can buy an Android tablet for $50 which is pretty neat. But you get what you pay for, Apple devices are more premium and polished.

Also, folks, understand that Apple limits customizations for a reason. iOS offers a closed operating system which is more safe, easy to use and controlled. And when I say controlled, I mean Apple is able to secure battery life, speed, security and stability far better than Google can.

Again, I'm not going to say iOS is superior for everyone but you should be aware of this.

IOS is worse than android because they get all the good apps first and then android has to wait like YEAR before it gets on android , it has LOADS of good stuff that you need to be jailbroken to have , and it has a lot of lag.

I think android is better and I like how it is simple and it is a Lenovo Ideatab s6000-f so the start up animation is better

ANDROID BEST!!!!!!

BUT THAT'S GOOD. Then it doesn't take time, memory and bandwidth and money to update every 5 hours

Yeah it is good. Android can be really frustrating at times.

I think using an iOS device would also be frustrating though, for other reasons. I would still buy an iPhone though, because a phone isn't like a tablet where it's just for fun. A phone needs to make and receive phone calls and complete other simple tasks seamlessly. Otherwise it is useless.

I like Android. Mostly because that is the only mobile OS I use. All my brothers, sisters, and parents own Apple stuff. So, I'm determined to be the only one who does not own anything Apple. XD I don't know why. lol

I agree! That is the same with me!

android is the best ')

I say that IOS has more demanding games than Android.

Well, even if android has too few apps, any iOS apps are usually ported to APK

I appreciate both operating systems, but it really depends on what you intend to do with your phone.

Android is much more personalized, but is often too slow. However, it isn't closed source, so you can do almost anything with it.

iOS is more closed source, and specific. However, it runs at a faster speed, and has a better user experience.

Obviously I use Android, but I can see iOS being better for others (non-nerds)

I'm a nerd and I prefer iOS. My iPad is jailbroken though. Android is cool but I don't like how different devices have a different UI and user experience. Another thing I don't like about Android based smartphones is that the buttons at the bottom are different so I always press the wrong buttons on my friends phones.
App development is better on Android because it doesn't require a developer licence to run on a real device.
