You have to understand that most core apps in Android are decoupled from OS allowing them to be updated independently from OS. So there is really no disadvantage at all compared to iOS. In fact, ios is worse since you have to wait for the OS update even for core apps functionality/bug update which is ridiculous to say the least.
The point is you have not used a proper android before. My S3 and Note2 can go for months without crashes/restart.
why are you harping on this. in all practicality there is really no different is smoothness. You keep talking about contact but has it got into your head that iOS contact list does not include picture thumbnail unlike Android. Of course it will be smoother. I would say, without picture thumbnail ios is way behind in user satisfaction.
an unrooted stock android >>> jailbroken iOS in functionility.
custom ROM in Android is compiled with FULL source code whereas jailbreak is an unstable hack using code injection during runtime. Try using different jailbroken apps that use incompatible code injection technique will surely to crash the phone.
who bother about a proprietary app that can only work for iOS. Dont forget 2/3 of all other smartphone users are not using IOS which renders iMEssage useless.
Malware? You are kidding yourself if you think iOS dont have malware? You only depends on Apple to do QC and even if there is a big muck-up you think apple is gonna advertise it? I have more confident in open system instead of proprietary iOS which no one can check up on.
Android (not just jelly bean) is a more advanced OS from the beginning than iOS. It is just undisputable that it can do more than iOS including but not limited to:-.
- data centric system. data like music/video/files can be opened by any application instead of built-in app. Don't need to go thru hoops to get data in and out of phone like iOS. You can use any connectivity incl usb/usbToGo, BT, NFC etc
- support for many data format. no need to waste time to go thru iTunes to convert data before it can be loaded to phone.
- intent system allows any apps to response to events and automatically do stuff in the background.
- file system
- true multi-tasking allowing for various type of apps to work properly (incl. auto data upload/download, IM, voip etc)
- flexible data sharing capability
- better Playstore allow for web-based download or purchase instead of using retarded and slow itunes and refund
Lol what are you kidding me? iMessage is such a crucial feature that Android doesnt have, i know so much people who use iMessage and love it.
Eh well multi tasking on my Brother's Note 2 is worse then multi tasking on my i5...i openes up 15 of the same apps on both phones and i was cycling through opening the apps in the multitasker bar, and the apps far back in the list had to keep refreshing and basically restart the app on the Note 2,while on my i5 i was able to switch back to the apps instantly, no refresh, relaunch of the app. Most apps on my brother's note 2 had to basically start up again while on my i5 it came back for me instantly, nothing reloaded...so i5 multitasker is superior to the Note 2 in that department. Now i dont know about the S4 pro cpu and if it does that but i wouldnt be suprised if it did the same thing.
And i was just using Contacts as a example to test it in, its not just in Contacts that scrolling is smoother and better, its system wide...touch recognition and accuracy is much better on iOS all around, just scroll/ pan on a iOS device and scroll/pan around on a Android and tell me that iOS doesnt follow your finger much better, it reads your finger better on the screen and its more accurate when you pan/ scroll around.
Like i said on Android when you pan/zoom around there is a delay to everything, even though its a slight delay i feel it 100%, there is no delay on iOS devices...that is the difference between iOS and Android JellyBean. Hell Jellybean is still not as smooth as iOS 6, the notification center lags like crazy when your in a app on JellyBean but not on iOS 6.
The Play Store is inferior to the App store in every way, less secure apps, duplicate apps, developers prefering iOS first, less quality apps ...the list goes on, not to mention there are so much more games on the Apple App Store compared to Android Play Store its not even a competition in that catorogory. and idk what kind of computer your using for iTunes, but iTunes is incredibly fast both on my phone and computer so dont blame your slow PC.
I dont have to go thru iTunes to convert anything, what are you talking about? Plenty of jailbreak tweaks/apps to remedy that. And I have a file system on my iPhone 5; its called iFile So basically nothing on your list is really true. JellyBean is most certainly not more advanced, sure it may have some more sharing functionatily, which iOS 6 has the API's for its just up to the developers now to set then in there apps so i dont even really see that as a advantage for Android at all. Everything else about JellyBean is worse...worse hardware acceleration, worse touch recogitnition, a much less safe OS then iOS, more complex, Inferior app store to the iOS app store, the list goes on
And sorry, but people have to wait 8+ months to get the latest software on their Android phones after it came out, updating core apps doesnt mean **** if your behind a major OS revision. Theres no reason why my old Verizon S3 got JellyBean in late Decemeber when jellybean came out 8+ months prior to the Verizon S3 getting JellyBean. On iOS, you can update the first day the update comes out, no need to wait 8+ months for crucial features like "a smoother OS thats more consistent" LOL, i really feel bad for Android fans i really do, they claim JellyBean is the holy grail when iOS has always had a smoother more consistent OS since the first iPhone came out, and that still stands to this day
See, you dont have to worry, as i told you.
