If you've noticed android is faster and more stable now. iOS is going down after each update. Yesterday I've used an iPhone X. It isn't smooth anymore. For example it lags in settings app.

            Is it really a survey? Better user experience with IOS? What kind of experience? Speed? More user options? Pay for useless apps?!!
            Just have a look to the picture posted here, you can see the difference.
            The only thing that IOS users say is security, which now common in all phones.
            I regret to those 11% of people switched to IOS because of better price? lol.

              Try closing all running apps on iOS in the iPhone X. One of the main reasons I dump the phone.

                  User experience my ass... ever tried to Switch Mobile data on and off in iOS ? it's a convoluted mess... or switch to a different Wifi network .... Where's it's just a toggle or long press in Android....

If you were to wo... moreevery survey is being paid for; each person is give a set of questions which establish if it is or it is not a suitable candidate to take the full survey; considering that Apple has 44.3% of the US market share and currently is the wealthiest company in the world (not the most environmental one...that's for sure) do you really think that they would do a survey in which they are not considered the "good guys"?

                            As someone who uses both (android personal phone, iphone for work), i agree. Sure the iphone is more constrained, but when you just want to get your day to day stuff done, the iphone is more simple. You don't have to think, you just do.

                            That said, android will continue being my personal phone. Android has some awesome parts if you can deal with the occasional bugs and kinks, and for personal matters i don't mind.

                                  Switch to iOS? Are you kidding me? Android is my life.

                                    That survey is a big lie and apple doing that stunt just to take android users or the people to buy their good for nothing phones.
                                    The two OSes hit a place where you can't say one is better than the other.

And he... moreIt’s because in statistics it make no real sense to survey more than 1000 respondents. Anything above that will only increase the accuracy of the statistics by a very small margin. I forgot what the exact figure was, but it was 1-2% I believe.

                                      And they did more than 1000, so the results are about 98-99% accurate to the general population. The general population which is part of online survey platforms, that is. Because these are most likely not face2face interviews.

                                        Nick, 25 Aug 2018It's quite simple, iOS doesn't freeze, has no continuous bu... moreYou do realise that in your infinite wisdom there's nothing real. Why not boycott to have your priceless device built in the US, that way you can only bankrupt yourselves and not entire world...I can already see CNN filming poor people in Thames Square caring their precious device while fighting over a loaf of bread. Your brain has little imagination when it comes to bigger picture and it's sad....
