A calculator is a computer. It's all the same stuff, just used for different purposes.

MP3 players existed before the iPod, for instance the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos_Juk ... 0_and_6000 There were several before this, as well. iPod is just a tweak of an existing concept.

You're also clearly insane if you think that the Apple II was the first "practical" computer. "Practical" meant something completely different back then, too. Systems were being used in all sorts of places before Apple had their grips on the market.

Glad to see Android getting the respect it deserves, though.

I'm a fan of jailbroken iOS myself. Generally only use the jailbreak for a few super useful things, such as being able to send iMessages from my browser on my Windows machine.

I pretty much agree with what Woody said, there's really not much of any difference for the average consumer, at all. I don't really have a preference between the two, but due to me owning an iTouch for a long time before actually having a phone, I'm neck deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Not again, not this, not now! It's too late, isn't it? I'm going to keep looking back 40 pages later as people keep arguing senselessly and trying to force their opinions upon each other.

EDIT: Anyway, I prefer Android. Also, I saw someone earlier say Hearthstone, and yes, Hearthstone best game 2000 second decade.

First of all, let me remind all of you posting things such as "A flame war is coming" or popcorn that these types of replies are NOT allowed. They do not add to the discussion, they are not creative or funny, and worst of all, they are the best way to incite a flame war. Please do not continue making those types of replies on potentially controversial topics.

Secondly, please try your hardest to keep the discussion civil and reasonable. Respect other people's opinions, and do not aim insults or degrading statements at ANY other users for any reason no matter how misinformed they may be.

I'm not closing the thread yet or handing out bans unless it degrades further, so consider this your one and only warning. Keep it civil.

Carry on as normal.

A phone is a phone. No one is going to be running graphically intense games on them. There are no exclusive content features that make an OS a clear winner.

Both OSs are modern. Both of them are user-friendly. Both of them are customizable.
It's not like the hardware matters in them. There isn't an infinitely large number of exclusives on one platform that make them as different as Windows and OS X.

The best phone Operating System is the one that best-suits the needs of a particular user.

I prefer Android, I can customize it a lot, and there is a lot more functionality.
Android is more easier to play around with, mess with settings, and do more.

iOS is very basic, looks nice and is mostly for the average consumer. an Advanced user probably wouldnt want iOS if they plan to dink around with it and do crazy advanced stuff.

I wouldn't mind having an iOS device, but I would go to Android first,

plus change the title to iOS vs Android.

I just prefer Android for many reasons.

Did Android ever have this guy on their side?

No. Did they make the first practical computer?



No. Did Android make the first MP3 player?



No. So Apple is better, since they introduced new technologies that Android is ripping off.

There hasnt been 3000+ of these threads?

iOS.

I can think of tons of reasons why, but why bother, we are on a gaming site. Obviously 80% of people here will vote for Android.

Also, please change it to iOS vs. Android. Apple is a brand. Android is an OS.

To the guy above: does the carbon copy of a skinny iPhone 4S (Galaxy S6) have an SD card? No. Do not generalize when it is not true.

I prefer Android, but I'm not saying iOS is bad at all. It depends on who you are.

A simple rundown I always use is: Do you want a device that works, no screwing around really needed? iOS. Do you like or even want to mess around with more advanced things, and potentially "fix" things? Android.

All in perspective. Others may see it differently.

As an Android Developer, I personally love Android Phones. I owned an iPhone all the way until the iPhone 4S and started realizing that the ability to customize and be different from other iPhones was virtually impossible. I bought my first Android Phone and started developing apps. I've published two apps and a working on a second one. Developers fee's are a lot less using Android.

As a user, I love the ability to download apps that are not on the Google Play Store. I love the ability to choose themes and modify my device to be my own.

I like both, I wish someone would combine them, honestly.
Apple has a cleaner design, and I feel like there are a lot of Apple-exclusive apps, but the same could be said for Android, since you can't download some apps that you can on Android on Apple. I feel like it's maybe a little easier to customize Android, too. I also like that iTunes and Apple are connected so my music is right there, unlike it wold be with Android (do they make an iTunes app for Android, or is it just whatever the Android music app is?)
I've had both Android and Apple devices, and can't pick a favorite, but I probably would have gotten my latest device from Android (solely because I'd never had experience with Apple), if they'd had a pocket-size tablet (not phone, mind you) to compete with the iPod touch.
