stop trying, he prefaced the response by stating that he is a "systems engineer", but still made the mistake of not viewing things objectively.

He is still trying to use the "then I grew up" response as justification for his position, my girl uses an android and has no issues downloading things and doesn't "tinker" around with anything...she is the definition of casual.

:heh: I was tripping on downloading being equivalent to tinkering

I literally just got an M8 from an iphone this morning and the camera works great for me and it shoots 1080p HD video, am I missing something? :wtf:

Nah, its good. Set ISO in camera settings from Auto to 400 so it will not overexpose photos. There is no difference from other phones if you are not cropping photos.

Pure android is a matter of preference, the only skin I have a problem with on android is touchwiz. All the other ones are just fine. This is an unecessary requirement you are adding. You do not need to remove the customized overlays on android to do what I mentioned, you DO however on the iPhone. You really love to move goalposts and try to box everything in.

Android is superior in almost anyway imaginable.
see i don't get the thought process of dudes like you. My cousin is just like you, gets super into these phone convos and takes sides like a motherfukker and acts like he's a google employee working on the android team or some shyt. They're just phones bro, google is not cutting you a check for defending them on a forum. Androids still have a lot of catching up to do with iPhones and they most likely never will.

the fact that theres so many androids to pick from is already a drawback for most consumers because most wont know what to pick, cameras are a huge drawback on android, skins ruin android imo, and its just confusing for most people. The entire skin thing really fukks with people heads. The average person will probably know what iOS is, but few will know what the name "touchwiz" means or what "stock android" is. Android is inferior in a lot of ways and I have a android

i use to fukk with Android heavy.

but iPhones + Macs is toooooo dope

the integration is seamless as fukk
that tends to happen when its made by the same company :ld:

I never understood why nikkas care about the camera so much.
it matters fam especially with snapchat if you have. And just in general. You have your phone on you every second of every day, your gonna eventually see cool shyt you wanna take of but cant bc your phones camera is ass cheeks

People automatically think it's just about the megapixels when I'm talking about bad cameras but sometimes it's how slow the camera is with taking a picture or how quick it focuses.

She probably doesn't use a computer to manager her music either
:huh:

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are you arguing that it's better for battery life that you stream music (presumably over a cellular connection) until you get home and download it rather than downloading whatever music you want to listen to once and then playing it back locally?

Because I'm pretty sure the former means your cellular radio is on constantly, eating into your battery, while the latter means its on only while downloading whatever you want to listen to and it's off/in a low power state otherwise
No. The argument is that the ability to download and save directly to the OS file system is cool but some people trump it up like they are constantly on the go downloading and torrenting shyt, and I stated that it's a waste to use your battery in that manner.
Also, that file system access is the reason android users use damn anti virus on some of their phones smh
I'm just trying to say downloading music and videos to your file system is not that big of a deal. The features the iPhone has access to natively and the performance is more than enough to keep me on the apple side

Yeah it IS a big deal to people who don't fukk with iTunes at all (which is alot of people) as well as people who may need just want to have redundant files of certain shyt. It's also invaluable to people who are professional photogs or graphics designers who may want to post shyt to a social media but don't want to have the extra step of cloud storage. And fukking no one uses antivirus on an android, i have a rar/zip program on my HTC One and I've NEVER even seen anything close to a virus on my phone. Its also valuable to people who cop torrents and music on their pc and want to place it on their phones.

Stop trying to downplay what is one of the most useful features of ANY mobile device. The shyt is SO expected nowadays it's not even touted as a feature. You'd fukking lose your shyt if you bought a laptop and couldn't have access to your system files. Its asinine in the 21st century to have ANY piece of mobile technology that doesn't let you communicate with your other devices Or forces you to use some proprietary service or accessory to do so. Its why I stopped fukking with Samsung when they came out with that bullshyt Kies application Its fukking stupid.

Apple slid all up in ya'll and didn't even leave the money on the dresser fam. :snoop:

Torrents on a fukkin mobile connection? :dahell:
It's also quite easy to unzip a file on iPhone
Most folks who hate on it don't even know how to use it. Sure it's a work around but it is what it is. Basically nothing I can get done on Android the that I can't get done on a iPhone..but Android is not as seamless as the iPhone ecosystem is
