Android or Iphone?

[Katy]

I had an Android for my while life, I'm 16 and i was thinking about trying out the iphone, but because the expense my dad hadn't gotten me one yet because he wants to know why do I want it, and what are the characteristics of an iPhone that is different/better than an Android. I love the google play store, because for the apple store I have to buy everything, however google play for Android if it said its free, is free. Please help, and thank you

There's nothing but status that is better on the iphone. Android screens are bigger than the entire iphone itself. Android has swype. Android has widgets. Android has so much more customization. Root ability. You name it. iPhones are for suckers who'll spend through the roof to try to be "cool" aka a phone for women. Droids are for men who want to tinker with their phones and use it to a phone's max ability.

Depends which version phone you are capable of... But to this day I love my iPhone 5, I have had both phones & iPhone's the best HANDSDOWN.. iPhone has all of google play & MORE.. The size of the iPhone is smaller and trying to shove an Android in a girls "shallow pants pocket," left me with shattered screens and numerous droppings. The iPhone camera works WAY better, especially on Instagram, it's clear & android's pics are Pixelated and spotty. •••Have your dad get you an iPhone from Craigslist, they are 500$ cheaper lol..just be careful for scammers...

I've used both Android and iOS. Both are great and do mainly the same things, just differently. This article should help you figure out which one works best for you.

Stick with android. Plus Money dont come easy~
Both product have their own niche
Better camera? nah depends on which android phones you are comparing with...
I personally prefer Android phone because of its customizability and such...
Most games were released on both OS so i dont see the need to why you should get an iphone instead.

iphone has the best apps and security (no virus checker neededed like other phones have). It also has imessage, Siri, Facetime, both front and rear video, aluminum casing, slomotion video, sapphire lens on camera and fingerprint (only diamond is harder, so it will never scratch!). It also has airdrop and call blocking and is also the only 64-bit phone on the market today. Jmo but I think you will regret it if you dont get it but get whatever you like.
Plus when you resell it in the future, iphones hold their value far better then other phones, so you actually get alot more back for it.

Do you download free music? If you do, it's a LOT easier on Android as you can simply download an app, and it downloads high quality music right to your music folder. Technically there are apps on iOS for that, but it's less sophisticated. The music doesn't save to your music folder, you actually need to open the app to play your music, and it doesn't work with the screen locked. Apps aren't even slow to be released on Android anymore. If a popular app is released on iOS, it'll be a week tops before it's released on Android. At the time of release, Google Now was not very mature; however, it's been getting better at an exponential rate. In fact, I'd say it's better than Siri. It can do pretty much everything Siri can, but also presents you with information before you even say "OK Google" or press the mic button. Pretty much the only thing Siri has over Google Now is that you can mess around with is and ask it “what does the fox say”. It’s fun, but gets really old really quick. Also, everything you buy/download/store in your contact list is automatically backed up to whichever Google account you sign into the play store with.
The whole “it just works” argument for apple devices is NOT true. I know numerous people with battery issues on their iPhone’s, and iTunes (required for doing a lot of things to an iPhone) is horribly buggy. Even if you have a high end computer, iTunes will slow your computer to a crawl, and sometimes deletes content without your permission.
I am clearly a bit biased towards Google than Apple, but this bias formulated from facts that really bother me about Apple and satisfy me with Google.
