Do you prefer an i-Phone (IOS) or Android device and why?

[pousinha]

Since my first smartphone (if I don't mistake, purchased in 2014), I always have had Android based devices. I still stick with my second smartphone, purchased in 2019 because the old one had become terribly slow and it got impossible to run more than one or two apps. I exchanged my old Samsung with an A9, obtaining a huge price reduction. At the end of 2022 I purchased a Moto G10 to have a phone to go out home with (I can't go out with a smartphone featured as the A9 because in my country there are armed robbery in a row on a daily basis). Both the A9 and Moto G10 run Android. I skipped iPhones cause the very high cost compared to Android devices. My sister-in-law wanted an iPhone, to discover no app for free in the Apple store...

I prefer android because I do not need to pay thousands of dollars for a phone I can understand if you take a lot of photos or for work but regular phone can do the same thing just fine

I am an Android fan and currently, I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 9, it may not be the very best but I do love the features that the phone has. Talk of the battery life. The user experience is great and gives me access to quite a handful of tools that I can use on a mobile device as compared to an iPhone.As a freelancer, I find the android quite favourable to use.

Right from the very beginning, my choice has always been android and I believe it will still be android. My reason for this is cause iPhones feels limited to some extent. Android has more apps, it can be customized to your taste with certain apps and you don't even have to root it to do this.

My A9 battery has never been that big deal: it's like Samsung made its best effort to create a very good line (the A model phones are beautiful), but how to place a ridiculous 3000 mAh battery in a phone owning 128 ROM and 6 RAM (better featured than my last netbooks, owning a memory of 4 GIGAs only)? And a super camera. But well, what to do: I'm sticking with it in any way, paying too much attention to not drain its battery. The Moto G10, less featured than the A9, has a very better battery, of 5000 mAh.

A decade ago, before government agencies robbed my retirement savings without a court order to force me to agree to resume robbery, I had plenty of money and purchased an iphone. Now due to the government resume robbery racket, I am making very less money and can only afford to purchase the cheapest Android phones available.

I'm very sorry cause such a mishap in your country. I suppose it's not the best to save money into banks in your country.

I prefer android because is relatively affordable unlike iPhone. Moreover, android phones are technologically friendly than iphone. Moreover, android is relatively popular and universal in usage.

Maybe we have heard iPhones count on a longer lifespan, but I didn't notice such a difference between Android devices and iPhones. Maybe Android smartphones are fragile compared to i-Phones, but when we pay attention to treat them as precious goods, they last. My Samsung A9 has 5 years and until now it didn't lose productivity. No need to change it.

I prefer Android due to the ease of use and manipulation of the system, for example for developers it is excellent.

Google and Apple are two great competitors on the earth. Both have their own standards. Apple's market targets upper class professionals, while Google is more popular with all classes. For example, Google products such as Android phones are more widely used and liked by people, because they are easy, popular and cheap. I also prefer Android.

Both are excellent. However, since I first used an iPhone, I have not switched. I love the iPhone because it is foolproof. LOL. The apps I can download are somewhat limited, but that is fine by me.

Android devices offer VIP smartphones too (we can think about the Samsung S line, that's very, very expensive). J line is the popular Android line, offering good mobile at a medium price (my husband owns a Samsung J8 I purchased for him more than 5 years ago and it works well still now). Then A line comes, the right compromise between VIP and popular...

The iPhone is on a level of it's own. It gives you that assurance that you can depend on your phone as far as performance is concerned. Fast and responsive. I love iPhones but can't afford it. Just use my sister's own once in a while.

My sister-in-law owns an iPhone (she couldn't afford such a purchase: it was a gift from her ex) and its cost in my country is equal to six or seven salaries. It's an item for wealthy people here.

Personally, I choose Android because it's easy to use, I can share many things with friends and family without any hassle, and I can download many apps for free.

 

[pousinha]

Yes, If I remember well, my sister-in-law got disappointed when she discovered no apps for free in the IOS O.S. Android shows paid apps too, but we can skip them to favor the ones for free.

 

[Kirubel]

Yes, on ios many good apps are not free and that is hard, but android have a lots of free apps and even if its not free app there are ways to download them.

I prefer iPhones, and not because I'm an Android hater, I've just had this phone for a long time, and I've used Android before, and iPhone seems more practical to me. I use a used phone and it still doesn't crash
