    [deleted post]Well many but since i dont have apple i cant tell.
    I give up with this brand 3 months after using brand new Iphone 6 in 2014.
    If i look to android store i see 1/3 more apps than on IOS store.
    Just for the very simple reason. Apple store is much more friendly to anyone.
    Compared to IOS where they restrict you from practicaly everything.

        The Apple apps are like the Google ones, but less free ones, always charging a minimum to compensate Apple and the cheap ones are always limited to encourage you pay full versions. But even in that case from Android you still can obtain better ones without pay if you really don't have money to afford some...

        And wow, 30% almost free money from the hard work of developers for the rest of the eternity, Apple trademark.

                      Who runs android on a netbook? Who still has a netbook???? hahahahaa

                      Mate you lost the plot. Try again.
                      You always find a reason to bash apple with the most ridiculous comments and arguments yet you have a netbook running android. haha
                      We all know what kind of consumer you are.

                        Hello there.
                        Optimized apps are one of the features of the IOS.
                        No app support = No iphone
                        Wish google made improvements in the play store.

                          Name me legit apps that are free on google play but not on iOS.

                          Apple users have the money to pay for apps and apple does not allow fishy apps on the store. So apple store is better for developers.

                          Android users do not pay for anything or pirate apps.

                          Your arguments are always wrong, closed minded, very subjective and badly written.

                                      Being Developer of Apple is the best because all Apple users are paying the Apps unlike Android. No wonder why too many apps are not available ng Android.

                                        Whats worse Android store is available to many platforms.
                                        Even my Notebook runs android with ease compared to IOS which is restricted only to one US brand and china made phones.
