Do you have reading comprehension problems, or are the Apple Glasses preventing information intake? I said that every single app that I have on both (and I have quite a few) is identical across platforms. I have no idea what Auria is. Surely, there are some apps out there that are better on iOS, and some that are better on Android. The vast majority - and virtually all the important ones - are identical. Some of the most important ones being the Google ones, by the way, and those are usually slightly better and better integrated on Android.Every one, huh? Outright lie. Find me an Android version of Auria.
Nothing funny here. All Android flagships are much better compared to the 6S, since the 6S really plays in the midrange segment, due to its aged, clunky software experience.Funny you didn't mention your phone so we could do a comparison. Nor did you mention any specific Apps you claim load faster.
Personally I have a P9. Check out this one if you want to feel blue. Hint: the iPhone doesn't generally do as well with app loading.
There are two major narratives for the iPhone:
(1) It's the only smartphone, it's the best, all my friends and family use iMessage and FaceTime, I have to get an iPhone and usually I'll do so on a contract, so I don't realise that I pay Apple a thousand bucks.
This is essentially the US narrative. It's mostly narrowed down to ignorance, but it's understandable. Once you have a heavy social ecosystem all locked into Apple's proprietary utterly basic functions (such as chat), it's hard to get out. I sympathise.
(2) It's fashion tech. And expensive. Way overpriced, and you have to show that you have money, and are fashionable.
This is essentially the Europe/Japan/China narrative. It's a way of showing off socially.
I know two people in Europe with iPhones - both women (one of them my sister). Both are very, very fashionable. The last time we went out with the other lady she was telling me how superior her iPhone was (I had just gotten the P9). Until I said, just show me what you do with it, and I'll show you how on Android I'll do it faster, with fewer gestures. And I did, to the point where she got upset, hugged her iPhone and proclaimed that she loves it. What can I say? Fashion tech.
