Thinner, lighter, made of ali, still does not compare to the oppo`s specs, put them side by side and youll see a huge difference, not forgetting the price tag. Battery life maybe better but whats inside the iphone is not worth the price. iTunes and app store, sure, whatever you can find there android can get. Apple is purely a image thing, way too over priced, you pay for the name nothing else.
We own a ipad mini and its not that impressive, the games constantly crash, the thousands of adds in between game time, the annoying password verification. All this for a hefty price tag. Not worth it.
But then again everyone has their own opinion.
Price is still the only downside that I can see. The iOS App Store is unquestionably where all the best apps are.
With phones it’s debatable whether Android or iOS suit your needs better, but I think it’s obvious that the iPad with all its variations completely blows away the tablet competition. Look at app store availability of tablet-specific apps on Google Play versus iOS, it’s an enormous gulf. Better hardware quality and industrial design as well (in general, iOS devices versus Android is aluminum versus plastic, as is with Mac laptops versus PC laptops).
I have a Galaxy S3 and I use it out of necessity to check Android apps from time to time. I know it’s an older phone but it feels like a cheap plastic toy to me.
But I agree, to each their own. It’s important that Apple and Google have strong rivals to keep them on their toes. Android is amazing because it’s free and open source, and Google offers so many free services through the phone itself like Gmail, Maps, etc.
I wish that the Google and Motorola cooperation had worked out better though, I am disappointed with the quality of most Android hardware manufacturers but heard that the Nexus was well designed since Google had total control. One thing I dislike about Android is that there are so many sleazy hardware vendors – even the big ones like Samsung have their own app stores and garbage built in when you first get the phone. It reminds me exactly of buying a new PC in the 1990’s from a company like Compaq or Packard Bell and having it come loaded with apps you don’t want the first day you boot it.
You can’t argue with the price and flexibility of choice with Android though, there are so many phones every year contending with each other.
