Except better OS customization like themes or changing the app launcher, different options for navigating the OS, a lot of apps like retro game emulators are available on the Google Play Store but not iOS, and biggest of all the ability to install whatever software you wanted, not confined to a single app store or region locking
Android users, i really need for you guys to come with a better and NEW argument. All the reasons you listed above are PRIMARILY important to tech fans. The average joe does not care.
I have used Android for over 10 years (unfortunately) and I am now using an iPhone that literally just works with minimal to no tweaking. That is what the primary consumer wants. That is something most androids dont offer.
I used to work in mobile. I am well-versed from RIM and Blackberry to Webos to Windows Mobile 5 and 6, to Windows Phone 7, 8, 8.1 and windows 10 mobile to Android and IOS. Heck, I even have used the Kin phones when they came out.
To counter your points
1. The average consumer does not care about themes and the MOST customization is usually a wallpaper of their significant other, kids, or pets. The averqage android users are not downloading Nova Launcher or Niagara Launcher( my favorite Android launcher that made android look less cheap).
2. Navigating the OS? Again, the average consumer does not want or even need multiple options to navigate the OS. Ease of use is not something ANdroid is known for.
3. Emulators? Your argument is emulators. WHich 98 percent of the people who use Emulators are actually pirating the games lmao.
Again do you think the average consumer CARES if your android can download a PS emulator (if the hardware even supports it) or their iPhone can;t? No.
WHich leads me to
4. The average consumer honestly does not NEED to be able to install any and everything just because they can. In the end, it is their choice to do so but I am not using it as a con against Apple.
I cant tell you the amount of people i had to deal with who installed this app from some shady place not knowing what they were doing only to screw something up. In reality, most users will use the Play store (or Amazon App Store) or whatever comes on their phone.
Android users by default are far less likely to pay for Apps compared to android which goes back to the fact that Apple does not allow third party stores like Android does. Android allows users to freely pirate as they so see fit.
As i said before, Android is an OS that does A lot of things but things that most people dont care about and nothing actually well.
But in true Android fanboy passion, anything that goes against Apple is a gift from the gods.
