When I use iOS, I feel like I'm in a well decorated house, but as soon as I explore the space I realize how close the walls are to each other and learn to live within its boundaries. Landlord is strict with house rules but generally well meaning.

With Android, parts of the house may not always be so well decorated, but the rooms feel bigger, and I can add bits of creative personalisation here and there without my landlord minding.

I get very frustrated using iPhones because I keep going to press the back button which isn't there

[Frihman]

Every time I watch a video on Android or iOS, I always tell myself to NOT read the comments... But yet, I do it. Every time. It's always just full of cancer like "If you have an iPhone you're an idiot". And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

I have an iPhone but I'm not a fanboy and I have no problems with android

[AdamMckeithan]

This is a tech lover...Showing respect to all TECH... learn from this fanboys

It's funny how people say that the iPhones are easier to use and blah blah,
Androids are just as easy, if not easier to use (no itunes bs). People are just stupid

[MsLacieable]

That's why you can never judge something if you haven't tried it. I hated it back then when I'm still on android because Iphone doesn't allow bluetooth sharing with anything other than Apple products which I found terrible. But when I tried it, I never experienced a lag. Software so smooth and nice, not that big for my hands. Simple design but has that premium feel, camera is decent, easy to edit because it does not overexposure photos like Samsung. Selfie is good because for the first time in forever my head doesn't look 3 times bigger than it normally was. The only downside to Iphone is limited apps and customization. Also, no expandable storage which sucks.

I've been using android my whole life... last year got an iPhone 6s Plus and welp... i still like android but i can't deny how well optimized is IOS and everything just freaking works... now i got an iPad for writing in class and studying is just GREAT.

[GilbertoCervantes]

I have always loved apple products and especially iPhones. But I don't know why there is some kind of war between iOS and android. Like I believe they are equal no one is better than the other. They both get the job done of being a phone and a pocket computer basically, which is what really matters. The only difference between iOS and android is just based on person preference.

Literally just ordered a S7 Edge, upgrading from the 128gb iPhone 6 Plus. So sick and tired of this phone, the last straw when I had to pay a $100 repair because the screen decided to stop working. Bye Apple and iOS, Hello Android. :)

I am always switching between the two. For me Apple does this better:
1) Internal memory, my iPhone 7 is 256gb and it can have hundreds of games.... yes I don't play them all, but I like to know they are there. Plus you can't transfer paid games to your SD card. Nor pictures and remain private. Plus games play better (optimised as the developer only needs to make for a one phone, appose to android. More decent games come out on iOS first, iTunes games are far better then google/amazon combined.
2) photo editing far better on iOS. Use a lot.
3) Girlfriend currently has a iPhone, emoji and other things connect better with my iPhone 7 plus.

Now why i love android:
1) Easy connect to my PC.
2) live wallpapers.
3) your not a sheep, can be unique.
4) Appose to internal memory (new s8 is just 64gb), photo editing apps and paid everything else is better on android.

So because of the I've gone back and fourth between the two. Finally coming to the conclusion I need both.
So I will probably trade in my iPhone 7 plus and get the galaxy s8 (just put up with the smaller memory). Then buy a new iPad when it comes out. That way I have a great phone, but I have the iPad to take on my travels, still play the games and use the photo editing apps, paint programs and transfer the photos over to my phone afterwards.
I am not a fan boy, I appreciate both and also get frustrated with both. Neither are fully complete in my eyes. Work hard and lucky to afford the change. Hey have the same issues with gaming. I buy every console, every few months, one is better then the other. Always back and fourth. Same is said about iOS and android.

iPhone is definitely not the system for me, I admire the simplicity and ease of access, but when it comes to features, customisation, rooting, getting right into the software, you know what's good, "Android!!", "What Andry??" "No Android"

[weirdbutcool]

I have both IOS and android. I prefer IOS. I need structure or i'll be customizing all day.

[Henrix]

Dislikes are real. Probably they just read title

[jjrdias]

Buy metal phone and brag about it being metal; slap on a hideous plastic cover. The apple way.

[amierk]

iphones are for people that are too lazy to vhoose wich phone to buy so they just buy the most expensive one

[UnitedRecording]

I am neutral. I've found that I like some iOS features and they can be adapted through Xposed but I'm more personally geared to Android.

[guyinthechat]

Battery life is pretty awesome when your phone doesn't do shit.

[memememe]

I'm switching to Note 7 tmr from my iPhone 6. I love Apple but i7 is depressing as hell.

[toothfloss]

This just proves why generally Android fans are such little kids. Can you just watch the video and let this guy have an opinion. Disliking a video because of the title is so sad man.
