Anonymous, 02 Feb 2018Lmfao!! Fragmentation over stability!! Lololololol. I love... moreLmfao!! It's really funny to see how android user like you ignoring the most basic of things - stability. You are right. Perhaps iOS users do really have ran out of arguments. That's because there is nothing to argue about between iOS and Android - Google has always been and trying very hard to get all phone makers to get things patched while Apple has already done it so seamlessly.

In fact, given with your reply of "playing catch up to older android version" already shown that you are just an naive Android user.

    Kiyasuriin, 02 Feb 2018Yes. And you know? "Drag and drop"? just dragging the neede... more"Drag and drop"? I open, choose files and sync. What's the difference?? As long as the files get copied to phone and can be used on the phone, that's the ultimate goal of it, right? Why Android users like you like to be so picky about methods of copying files over??

    There is no way to have 100% distribution in the big world. You actually believe that? That show how dumb Android users can be. At the very least, iOS has the highest iOS 11 (the latest version) adoption rate as of now. Comparing to Android, it is already a big deal.

    "in Android there are very few fixes related to OS". And wow, you make it sounds like android is so bug free. Oh please. It's a common knowledge that android is the most vulnerable OS out there. And the worst is the AOSP idea. Once a bug is found, it takes months and years to get patched on the Android because every tom, dick and harry companies out there cannot even react fast enough to get their rom patched.

    Also, what's wrong with frequent updates? In fact, that's a good thing! It means the OS is being supported well. Or do you prefer to use an OS that is taking forever to get things patched? Oh well, I forgot. You are the Android fan.

      Any proofs you can show? If not, you are only believing what you think it is right and you too, can be a naive person too. If you are using a particular phone from a company, do you not believe in the company and its branding? If not, why do you even using it in the first place?

          I love how fragmantation is the go to like specs when ios and wp users ran out of arguments.
          It would still not be much of an argument but more plausable if ios updates wrrent just for the sake of numbers and playing catch up to older android version =D
          And if they wer3nt god aweful buggy.

          Which goes to the next point...stability lmao. You must not actually use iOS ^_^

            AnonD-122899, 02 Feb 2018Seriously?! Choice? You prefer to have fragmentation over s... moreYes. And you know? "Drag and drop"? just dragging the needed file to the device and that's it? even if there are TRAZILLION of S/W apps. a simple drag and drop does it WAY faster.
            and even in iOS there's fragmantation. do ALL iPhones run the LATEST iOS 11? 100% of them? no? thank you. the fact there are two slices in the cake already shows a fragmantation.
            Oh wait. there are devices who run iOS 9... iOS 8... THAT's more shatters! No OS is perfect. And I am talking outside of the war of iOS and Android. in Android there are very few fixes related to OS. while in iOS. (and believe me. I have iDevices. iPhone 8 from work. and an iPod Touch 6G that carries my music. and subscription to A.M.) there are updates so frequent! because there are many bugs.
            I believe that pretty much closes the case.
            P.S. iPhone users like you are not even aware that Android is OSP. (Open Source Project) so you can stabilise it yourself. without being reliant on the OEM.

              Man if you really believe to this you must been very naive sorry if i insulted you. I dont want to i just present my opinion.
              Every company have its way and its very fragile full of rocks and dirt but when people have n problems at all they will make create some.
              This the logic of people of science.
              Solve one problem by creating two more.

Look at how different makers handle Android for a start. They are all polluting the OS by adding their OWN standards. From Korea to the Chinese makers, you name it. Has fragmentation really been solved? I can tell you a straight no. Just take a look how many Android phones are keeping up to date and running Oero, or even Nougat. How many are even protected against the latest security vulnerabilities? The numbers are pathetic. My LG V20 has not been patched for months FYI.

                  ""Fragmentation" is being solved by having standards"? Stop the delusions and wake up. I can tell you nothing will change for Android even 30 years from now.

What do you mean by "DOWNLOAD SONGS directly"? I can do that too on iOS. Android is not the only OS capable of doing such trivial things. iTune I guess you are trying to say? Oh please. That's so outdated already. C'mon. There are TONS of capable s/w out there which allow transferring of stuffs WITHOUT iTune in this era. Go and do a Google search. Geez.... Android users like you should try to keep up to iOS news.

                      AnonD-731363, 31 Jan 2018Man IOS its not like android. Android wont slow your phones... moreFirst of all, I think you are totally confused. The switch for iOS is to disable the slow down due to FAULTY BATTERY. Not because of the OS itself. On the other hand, thanks to OEM makers like Samsung, Android DOES slow down over time, believe or not. Just go out there and ask around every Samsung users. If the battery is working on an iPhone, just like mine, iOS will NEVER slow down over time.

                      "Having lot of things in IOS its good as long as they are free." you say? Tell that to Samsung and other android makers. Stop polluting Android by adding so much unnecessary "smart" things on top of it. All those extra services are slowing down Android over time. At least, features on iOS are approved by Apple without slowing the OS.

With Android you can. Memory card..most obviously, usb, wifi direct or similar forms, drag and drop from other devices. Direct download whatever.
                                      But with iphone for almost all of that you are stuck having to import to itunes and then transfer from itunes.
                                      And converting videos....still??? Like seriously???
                                      This is my little $30/$40 mp4 player from like 12 years ago where you had to convert them to the one excat format.
                                      Get with the times already.
