            I will repeat:
            You have to try iPhone 6 Plus and Lumia 1520 (The best windows phone to date) in order to see what issues any Android phone has. And I don't hate Android at all!

            ANDROID CONS: (absent on iPhone and Windows phone)

            ~Slower web browsing, due a very bad scrolling and touch interface

            ~Much slower (not slow) typing speed, due to a bad keyboard layout and shape, bad touch interface and not the best spelling auto correction (auto correction is not bad but iPhone and Windows phone definitely beat Android in it)

            NOTE:
            Ive heard that Android Lollipop has finally fixed the touch interface and scrolling issues (which I yet have to test). Other cons are based on an individual preference: things like user interface and the number of applications. But the main two cons cannot be disputed, it's a fact!

                in the end, this will all matter on your opinion and to your preference. Im an android user, but i do appreciate iphones being very smooth and stable, and you rarely experience apps from lagging on an iphone. We should just respect each other's preference.hahahaha

Developers still develop the same number of apps for iOS and in many cases develop and release them before their Androud cpunterparts. The same goes for accessory makers.

                    The android OEMs aren't jumping for joy when they look at android's marketshare because all they care about is their own. And that's when you notice some of the real factors about android's share. Low cost leads the way. So does fragmentation and the inconsistencies that come with it.

                                Android cheap phones are just flooding the market building up numbers. But the market is literally dominated by Apple.

                                      Apple iPhone does have better:

                                      1- Video editing apps
                                      2- Much better games
                                      3- Available 3D apps (For 3D design professionals)
                                      4- Faster (Yes, if you compare 2 phones in the same year, apple is faster in real world)

                                      There are more things I may miss, Android is better in other things, but usually lots of users don't care about which is customization

                                      1- Android is better to download illegal and cracked software
                                      2- Android is better to customize and change how your menu look and it's animation
                                      3- Android is better to download illegal music and movies from torrent


                                      Now, compare which is really more appealing for a professional guy with good amount of money in his hand?

                                        Primark, 25 Jan 2015What fact exactly is he rejecting? It is a known fact that ... moreKnown by who? Android supporters?
