Please enlighten me.


Better selection for one. There hasn't been a song to this day that I can't find in iTunes and have downloaded on my iPhone within 3 minutes.

Better look/design as well, although it's a personal opinion, I did NOT like the layout of Google Music Store not the player itself, it was actually one of the more disappointing aspects of owning a Nexus 5....

Only problem with the Note that it comes shipped with a HUGE virus called Android. If they could put iOS or Windows Phone on it, its a deal!
What your complaining about (and rightfully so) is touchwiz, not android itself

- iMessage
- seamless syncing with my Apple TV, iMac and iPad
- it's (subjectively) beautiful
- iPhones in general are popular enough that if I ever need a charger or a wired connection to a speaker, someone will have one (don't sleep on this)
- Shazzam-like functionality in Siri
- Apple Pay
- Apple Care coupled with the abundance of Apple Stores in my area
- all the money I've already invested in iTunes/App store purchases
- fantastic attention grabber and conversation starter

not looking to argue or stan but these are the legitimate reasons why I ordered a 6 before I ever touched one. I trust Apple and I enjoy the familiarity of an ecosystem I've been using for years. Don't understand why Android heads can't just let us live...

The phone war stuff is pretty simple at it's core:

Android = USA (Don't take my guns! aka I can do it myself)
Apple = Norway (Please do it for me and make it pretty while I sip on an organic latte)

The Apple socialists will gladly pay hefty 'taxes' to have the manufacturer set all the do's and don'ts because they can think less. The Droid 'Merican's all want to move to Texas or New Hampshire where they can have the freedom to do whatever they want with their phone.

Both those phones are too big. As for why I bought the regular 6. I moved from droid in the early htc days and have been happy since. I could go out n grab a new droid phone but the truth is, why? What drove me away in the first place was the poor battery and touch screen lag. From the what I understand those issues have been resolved for some handsets so maybe I'm just sticking to what's comfortable for me.

Is it far fetched to conclude that maybe there are folks out there that don't want to use android OS and its surrounding components regardless of specs? I remember when the iPhone 5s came out and spanked the competition benchmark wise,but u didn't see droid guys switching. Why? Because they didn't want to use IOS and the tools that come with it.

Its not really that big of a deal. :yeshrug:

Everything you just said about iTunes, my experience with Google play music has been similar.

IPhones seem to b the choice of hipsters wearing all black with Malcolm X glasses and old people wanting to look cool talking about what their phone can do. I'm straight with my HTC one m8 :troll:
