i hate android vs ios....but i don't feel the need to get cute with it. its a phone. i want it to do what i need in the most streamlined manner possible.....apple and ios does this in spades...
I do too. But as a consumer I se the merits for both. I use my phone for a lot...I mean a ton. So it's a very important thing for me. I use the phone, texting, camera, web surf, calendar for work, tons of apps and such. It may seem trivial, but it is one of my favorite toys if not thee favorite.
I love how Apple made things difficult to rip off for Android in iOS7. Google will have a heck of a time implementing scrolling at 60fps under a translucent background, simply because 95% of Android phones sold suck ass and can't handle the graphics necessary, Android's graphics stack is not as sophisticated, and it is further away from bare metal. Heck, compared to iPhone, even the highest end Android phones have choppy scrolling, and that's without translucency. So Apple forces Android into the "least common denominator" situation while also making its OS much nicer. That's smart. Another such thing they did is they selected a bright theme for iOS7. Android can't do it, because a lot of Android phones use AMOLED, which takes dramatically more energy to display bright colors, especially white, and the battery life on most Android phones is pretty bad as it is. Apple uses IPS for which the color shown does not affect the battery usage.
My answer is that Apple will become Skynet in 5 years and PC is the good Terminator that'll save humanity.
I love how Apple guys diss Android by comparing iPhone to phones that are not it the same price range. Also always talking about Samsung copying Apple when Apple copies Nokia just as much. I don't want or need to turn people to using the same phone I use. I just think people should try them out and stop listening to the hype from both Apple and Samsung. I used Apple up until last new years and felt stupid for never even trying Samsung. Apple and Android are religions nowadays. ..
