  1. the thing about android is you will use the phone for like 1 year and then you will change the phone because it will start to lag

  2. 2 things which would make ios actually good-multitasking and installing games from everywhere.Especially the second one.I wouldnt be able to pay for games  if I spend 500$ for an iphone!

  3. Once was an iPhone fan.. all I did was root and use cydia but it was so much restrictions just to do what you want. Once I toyed with android an was able to use many different Roms and software. It was very easy to consider android. Apple is ok for applications and some games but if you want to feel free with your phone an do what u want even if it's old then android. I have an HTC one M7 with the actual M9 lollipop O.S from Insert coin.. it's worth keeping an android unless you have money an could afford an iPhone which is too simple for my taste as far as custom features.

  4. Talk about the number of people using Android L ,1.6% compared to iOS 8 running on 78% of compatible devices,iOS 7 15% whereas KitKat is more popular on Android devices!

  5. Man i would like to see a movie where apple and android fanboys fight against esch other with huge armies. Swords and axes and hallberds and all that. Would be epic like the crusades. I think im going to start a kickstarter project.

  6. android sucks! its pathetic unprofessional, most of the ideas are just copied from ios. i used both and i come to the point that ios is far better then android

  7. You buy an iPhone for the simplicity. The build quality on iPhones are top notch, but their software functionality is laughable compared to Androids open-source goodness. If Graser read this, he wouldn't understand a word of it. People buy android phones like the Nexus for the top notch expandability, software experience, and pure power. Its like PC gaming versus console gaming. People play console games to sit down and play some COD, but people play PC gaming to get the best graphics and performance. If you hate on this comment, you just don't understand and you'd be better off going back to playing your game of Angry Birds. 

  8.  its all about PPI,  alcatel onetouch idol x+ has more PPI than Iphone 6, idol x+ has 440 ( with an Octa core processor) and Ip6 has only 400 and alcatel x+ is  half the price , want to talk with me about Screens and viewing angle? the leader is always samsung Galaxy and Note series with their Super Amoled technology, and Galaxy ALPHA in markets now.  just open the same picture on the device you want, tilt it around and check for yourselves… Super Amoled Displays will always get the advantage. PS: im not a fan boy but android with an open source base will always get the advantage, as in app store you have to pay for everything, play store you'll find whateaver you want. i have both an iphone 5 and a Alcatel idol x+… both very good in theyre own way. just choose what's best for you… you guys remind me of Call of Duty VS Battlefield Fans lol… Merry Christmas all

  9. Such bullshit when he says Google is following Apple by using a flatter design. Google introduced it's flat UI design back in 2011 with Ice Cream Sandwich. 2+ years before Apple released it's shitty iOS 7. 

  10. I am an Android user since 5 years. Now, I am switching to a new phone and I am not able to decide which OS to go for, so should i opt for Iphone? will i be satisfied after using Android for so long? Kindly help on this.

  11. you told that apple's not going on any watch operations………but there is which's gonna come in the market in the early 2015…..far better than LG's and gear…
    and if u talk about Iphone there's no device yet in the market for touch id system……Now say something android suckers
