I have had iPhones and Android devices, now I’m paired with an LG G2 having come from the Samsung Galaxy S4. The one thing both sides of the argument have to learn to say is: “Android is WAY more customizable” and “Apple’s IOS is WAY more SMOOTHER to use and more STABLE!!!” Sorry project butter! My wife and daughter both have iPhone 5′s and once I get past the tinsy size display I still ooo and aahhh over the feel of IOS it’s like liquid love!!! But…until Apple releases the next (4.7 inch) iphone i’m sticking with Android for now.

Lmao, this is so wrong. I’ve owned the S4 and S5 and both of those had lag. I’ve owned the Note 3 and even with its 3gb of RAM, it lags all the time. Watch a review of the Z1 and it lags also. I’m pretty sure every Android device lags except ‘maybe’ the Nexus 5 and the HTC One. As boring as iOS is, it IS the smoothest experience you can get on any smartphone.

I would go as far as to state 100% of people want a device that is stable, works everytime, quality… I can get this in both iOS and Android. But to your point, not many people are going to open the guts of the OS and mess with it. Still, I don’t think cutting edge and dependable are mutually exclusive on either platform, stock, rooted or jailbroken is an owner preference.

David, even though you are kind of down playing IOS stuff because it’s not as hackable. That is what 90% of us want, a stable, works every time, quality, hold it’s value, device. Cutting edge devices are for people who don’t really want a dependable phone, they want something the can tear into and break it and then fix it again, like a sweeper.

Grace! Nice response and I agree with you 100%. Sure would be nice if you did some guest writing for us here at AFN ;). I think your iOS vs Android opinions/rants would draw a croud. Think about it

I had prided myself in never have owning an apple product, (DRM is a deal breaker for me) and have always encouraged others to support products that are open source and that will allow you to put whatever you want on your phone/tablet. Android has it right, even if one company makes a crappy tablet using their OS, there are hundreds of other innovators who have used it to push the boundaries of technology. When I received the iPad mini as a Christmas Bonus, I certainly felt like a whiny brat complaining about it, but it was seriously frustrating for me. I find their OS so simplistic that it’s confusing because I’m expecting more and it’s not there. This is coming from a person who tests software for a living and whose job it is to make sure UIs are flawless and easy. I’ve registered as an Apple Developer (oh the shame) and have written up several bugs I’ve found. I’m seriously contemplating selling it and buying a new kindle fire. I tried really hard to like it!
