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

@2gbs. Sounds SICKENING.
Its all personal preference really. I am a very tech savvy person and therefore just prefer android. I give apple credit for their innovation as well as ease of use of their products but I will always prefer the customization of android. I have my phone rooted, with a custom launcher, and custom icons. Those who have iphones that are jailbroken, can you change the look of the icons and skin of the phone?

If you think apple ecosystem is better, that's you, but it ain't like android and windows are unusable and it's way more economical. I prefer it tbh.

some people just have zero common sense. they'll sit there and buy the most over-priced bullshyt just so they can say they did and then when it comes to paying their rent or lights they can't do it. my boy bought a tablet for like 300 and it has the same fukking quad core in it that my son's does.Just

You can change anything. A rooted android being more customizable than a jailbroken iPhone is actually a myth. If you know what you're doing, I promise you you can do more with an iPhone.
Changing the look of the phone and icons is pretty amateur. Now changing the look of apps themselves and changing how they function altogether, that's why I jailbreak. Have you heard of these NFL and NBA hacks? I keep mentioning them because stuff like that is what separates iOS. You can't hack Android apps like that because Android developers know and anticipate this so they protect themselves on the app side. Same app developers, but Android, surprisingly is locked down even when rooted while a jailbroken iPhone is basically a free-for-all.
As much as I was defending Apple I'm now sorry I bought this iPhone. There's something wrong with either iTunes 12 or the syncing process. When I had Android "Syncing" my music was never an issue. Having my entire music library corrupted was never an issue. Every time I wanna add new music to my device I have to basically do a factory restore and then spend 2 hours syncing everything back.
People have been complaining about this on Apple's forums for months and they've done nothing.

You just don't know how to use iTunes. I used to be in your boat. Once you learn you'll realize it's a lot easier than you thought. I can delete my entire library right now and add it all back with the click of a button.
Apple actually made transferring music not only easy, but beneficial. As I said, I can delete my whole library and add it back in my sleep. The problem is, it's not what you're used to. If you play PlayStation your whole life you'll probably look at an XBox controller cross-eyed. That doesn't mean it's unusable by any means. It just means you don't know how to use it.
iTunes is a pain in the ass if you don't know what you're doing but it can be a breeze if you do.

No this isn't me not knowing how to use iTunes. Google "waiting for changes to be applied" and notice that this is effecting other people too.You just don't know how to use iTunes.

I can plug my iPhone up sync it and it's a crap shoot if it will properly sync or won't. half the time it just sits at the step 6 of 6 waiting for changes to be applied for hours and if you cancel it then it corrupts your music and all of it goes into the Other category and you have to do a full restore to get that Other space back.
I have 95 GBs of music across 18,00 songs on this thing so it takes 2 hours to sync that back every time it corrupts it. I've tried this in multiple computers I've erased iTunes and all traces of Apple software off my PC and re-installed iTunes, I've abandoned my iPhone backups and started as a new iPhone. I've just about done everything you can do. Still happens and it seems to be more common with people with large collections of music.

Breh, I'm 99.9% sure you don't know what you're doing. That's just based off your troubleshooting steps.

this nikka literally talking out his ass...
Apple has a commanding lead over all other smart phone platforms with 230,000 and counting in the App Store. But Google's Android platform now claims 70,000.

Wish I knew what u were doing wrong I never had this problem...seems odd
There's nothing you can do wrong syncing is an automated process. You plug it up to the computer and it syncs. sometimes it's successful sometimes it hangs at the end of the process. if you cancel the sync it corrupts your data. if you don't it will indefinitely say waiting for changes to be applied.
This happens when jailbroken, on stock firmware, right after a full restore, using back up data, starting as a new iPhone. its completely random and it likely has something. never happened a single time with the iPhone 5. happens pretty frequently on this iPhone 6. a telling sign its going to happen is you drag a song to the iPhone and it doesn't sync to the device. its listed on the iPhone with a grey circle next to it and instead of black text it's grey.
Slap yourself. Sprint is fukking garbage. A 2 line plan with Tmobile is 100 and that's with unlimited data with no cap.T-mobile's unlimited 4G is $80 a month for the $50 a month T-Mobile gives you unlimited data but your 4G is capped at 1 GB per month and when you reach the cap you get bumped off the 4G network to their slower network until your cycle resets. This is why they just introduced rollover data for 4G where you can roll over your 4G data for up to 1 year.
The only carrier that still offers unlimited data with no restrictions is Sprint. That's why I don't leave. When Sprint limits my data I'll probably leave.

Explain your setup to me. Like I'm a 3rd grader. If I gave you a song, tell me step by step how you would put it on your phone.

Apple all the way for me. Resale value alone is a big reason for me as I'm not on contract and usually just sell my old phone when I want to upgrade.
