With Android 5.0 Lollipop looking so good, where does iOS go from here?

I'm using lollipop on my 2014 Moto X. I can tell you the speed and fluidity of getting things done is much better than on my other phone. The iPhone 6 Plus. I personally feel that it looks better too.
On the other hand because I love lollipop so much I went out and bought a nexus 9 which I thought could replaced my iPad Air 2. Not a chance in hell. The iPad air 2 blows it away in performance and I like the look and feel of the iPad better.
Moral of the story both OS's are great. Everybody has their own opinions. But the hardware definitely makes a difference.

This is all you can come out with? So Pathetic. isnt this thread talking about android?.
...and you are still rude.
Deflection at its finest.
Yes, proof that you're only on this board to tout Android is all I can come up with. Amazing you only have started pro Android threads and post in Android vs iOS threads, siding with Android.
Nothing odd about that.
Maybe you want to show how major apps don't look same in both platofrms? ....or continue being just an empty shot.
Or I don't need to given your motive on this forum?
It's clear you're going to side with Android regardless.
Do you even own an iPhone or iOS device?
You are deflecting
.What does it matter which side I am on? What matters is the topic at hand... how major apps look on both platforms. You are just the same as the one who said "....uhhhh nope".... empty shots
Dont get the iMessage part at all, its seanlessly incorporated in the Messages application, you dont have to use imessage lol..there are countless other options (i find iMessage to be the best because most people I know do have iphones and Im able to send hd videos and files and stuff like that easily over iMessage fast, cant do that on Googles native built in application Google Hangouts)

You should really look up the definition of 'deflection' before using it.
It's clear you don't even own an iPhone yet participate on an Apple forum. How comical

Why can't we send hd videos and files and stuff like that as easily on Googles native built in application Google Hangouts?
I am not sure. Maybe it is coming. Not that many people use Hangout anyway. Whatsapp or wechat are what people use.
Btw
"native built in" - no such thing on android.
Its like Mac vs Windows. Windows used to be a lot worse, then it surpassed Mac. Now Yosemite has sort of been catching up to windows and looking better, though it still doesnt have touchscreen, etc.
Its one thing to start a revolution, its another thing to keep the hype up. Android L does look sweet oh so sweet.

Are you high? This is not even remotely close to "Mac" vs "Windows," albeit such a debate doesn't exist. Mac is a brand while Windows is an OS.
Regardless of the above, you're confused with functionality and UI.
I'd recommend that you refrain from posting.
As i have guessed...Empty shotsYou should really look up the definition of 'deflection' before using it.

Still waiting for your response on why major apps are different and better on ios..
Until Android has a legitimate, premium device running pure, vanilla android, iOS will remain superior as its more premium phones are simply better than their android equivalent.
The Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 are better, but not as premium as what is happening with the iPhone now.

This is completely wrong. Windows is trash and has been for some time. OS X has been better since its inception.
Android L looks good, but android OEMs are bad and the non-vanilla experience is just unacceptable.

Exactly. Android is buttery smooth these days on lesser hardware as well, while iOS is a glitch stutter mess. Sony phones (I'm eying the Sony forums now to see if that's my next phone but waiting for issues to arise on the new releases) are UNDERwaterproof, have magnetic quick charging, tiny bezels, don't bend, 20Mp camera, etc etc etc etc and zero software limitations. Last year the 5s with 7.1.2 was the best phone on the market. This year, NOT lol.

lol upvote competition lol
I won't go as far to say windows is trash. But one thing I do notice is the app development environment in window (ie Visual studio) is light years better than xcode.
Here's my take, No matter how good Android becomes they will NEVER be able to match the after sales support of Apple. NEVER. I can walk into ANY Apple store if my phone has a problem, head to the genius bar, and get a 'newfurbished' phone and walk out, or I can have them overnight me a phone while I send them back the faulty unit for free. My iPhone syncs with my Mac flawlessly. I also get updates the day they're released. With Android I will get them a year later when a newer version of Android will probably will be available which I will probably have to wait another year for.
You people need to start looking at the bigger picture here. It's about the complete user experience, not just about the iPhone. Is the iPhone perfect? No it isn't. iOS has gone down the hell hole with all of it's lag and many other issues. Apple will fix it though.I've never held an Android phone that feels anywhere near as good to hold or has the quality of an iPhone. Apple doesn't use cheap plastic. I've had many different Android devices, everything ranging from Galaxy's to the Nexus 5 to the HTC M7. None of them offer anywhere near the complete experience as Apple.
I still have the HTC One M7 and Galaxy S4 sitting on my desk, both collecting dust.

Of course this must be expected when you are willing to pay for the iphone at 3x more expensive than others with similar or superior specs.
