So I'm Trying To Wrap My Head Around Why People Choose The iPhone Over Android Phones

[winb83]

the bottom line is this. If you've spent significant time with both platforms you'd know that there's trade-offs no matter what. there are things I've gained from iOS that I didn't have on Android and things I've given up that I had on Android and when I made the switch from iOS to Android earlier in the year I gained things and gave up things.

For example on Android when I had both my Bluetooth headphones and smart watch paired to my phone at the same time the audio bitrate in the headphones went down sharply. On iOS I have no such issue. I can also use a lightning cable in my car and play my phone through the car audio and fully control it as well as charge it at the same time. I can use the Nike+ sensor on my cell phone again. The standard dock means accessories are easier to come by. I can charge my iPod Nano, iPad Air 2, and iPhone all with the same cables and chargers.

I've been on Android since the original EVO on Sprint and I spent 3 years with the iPhone 5 and iPad mini Retina. I still use my Nexus 7 almost daily even being in iOS. I'm on both platforms at the same time and overall there aren't that many major differences. Day to day you can mostly do on one what you can do on the other. They run mostly the same apps by the same developers.

Does Android have Flex 2?
Do they have Cydia?

From what you describing, Google play music does that

not with music on the device. I can't create rules to sort through my music like only choose from albums by 2Pac and Notorious BIG only released in 1995 with songs on them with a playcount higher than 2.

I tried to do it before buying Playerpro which is basically the best music app on Android anyway.

And if you dont own a Mac????

You do know in the raw form of MP3's even if you use windows with itunes. itunes will convert it to the m4a format to use on their system, they dont use raw mp3 format files, which is bullshyt. because windows and androids do not need to convert anything.

Lol, you can convert to mp3 with iTunes & the encoder it uses is really good compared to things people are used to using. iTunes even gives you the option to convert to OGG for fukks sake. Your argument is ridiculous

Im gonna catch a lot of flack for this but all the "tech savy" people that think they are educated on things are always the ones to end up calling themselves out due to the silliness they say about iPhone compared to iOS. I could write paragraphs about this topic but for those that think Android is "open" because you can drag & drop a file into a file browser is hilarious. On the same coin all these so called tech people never know what iTunes is even capable of compared to all the other apps that are out there that can be utilized for tasks when it comes to file transferring. Loong story short to wrap up my argument, we have the technology to fly to Mars but it isnt efficient at all. Apple took that stance with their technology because having the newest tech in most cases right when they are made public is often more a hassle than anything else. I understand the OP's stance but why does this thread get made every damn week???

Windows Mobile = sleekest, smoothest OS (at a core, unless you know youre shyt dont argue this)
Android = best at customization without sandboxing (to a degree, theming is a pain in the ass in a technical point with android though)
iOS = The most optimized phone OS that is out there.

Whatever works for you pick it and keep it moving

iPhones get more bytches

mp3s, notice nobody else is cosigning your nonsense about iphones not playing mp3s

bullshyt.... and besides i dont need a co-sign to know itunes software and the iphone is a bunch of bullshyt and pain in the ass to use... good try though... if you like restricted access software plastic pieces of shyt, that's cool.

Idevices are still the best on the market

bullshyt, can you turn the conversion process off completely from jump and have itunes play the mp3 file in its original form, yes or no.... because every fukking time I've used itunes it always converts my files. period. I dont know how to turn it off...

Iphone=Simple minded and needs things spelled out for them
Android=Complex and able to do more if you are tech savy enough

Good thanks for the heads up. I dont have Itunes anymore, but if I EVER get a macbook with an Iphone 7X that will be the first thing I will do.... I just use Amazon music it's simpler for me. No fuss no muss...

When i used Itunes on my laptop that was such a pain in the ass to use.... i just hated every minute of it and alwayhs wondered why the shyt never just dragged and dropped like regular windows. fukk itunes...
