    In my opinion, before iOS 8 you almost needed to jailbreak your iphone because it was so limited (Still limited compared to Android) but now you don't fell the need to jailbreak, even hackers don't bother to release too soon new versions of jailbreak, people just lost interest. I think iOS is reaching maturity in it's own style and probably some things like real multitasking for third party apps will be never be implemented in iOS.

    *I hope GSMArena will do another through the years of WP, i still miss WP8.1 :(

        TL:DR - iOS throughout the years: getting more and more bloated and buggier and buggier with each new version.

            The thing is iOS 11 is now more feature-rich than stock Android.

              they should do the same fot Android ;)
              IOS isn't bad but if it wasn't for the closed source software and the terrible RAM management and the lack of app support and markets (app store is a rippoff) which forces you to jailbreak and risk being infected with a virus to get an app (and the $HITY price tag in my country) I would buy an IPHONE
              I (personally) don't like the simplesty of IOS because it makes me feel hope less when it comes to options like back ground apps management and multi tasking and down loading apps from an outside sources (for example you can get the newest addition of minecraft from Apdoit before it appears on majongs website and nearly all of the non Google related stores gives a newer version then the outdated money ripoffs version on Google) BUT Android is pretty dangerous for beginners to download from
              because there is to much ripoff for example minecraft has an INSANE number of ripoff most of them exist on google to sedisf silly costumers
              some other examples of low app support is MeeGo from Nokia which was simple and open source OS if it wasn't for Microsoft it would of been in the same spot with IOS
              windows 10 on the other hand is probably the $HITYEST OS ever made
              low app support on a computer based (including the UI) OS isn't a good idea
              so if you are an a noobs or a kid go for IOS
              if you like the challenge go for Android
              if you like computers then buy a keyboard for you windows 10 tablet and call it a laptop :P

                Do the same to Android GSMarena!
