Not everyone is convinced - iOS is still miles behind in terms of customization, but it has the lead in updates and privacy.

There is a clear option where you can select what you want to upload on icloud. The user’s who don’t know something that is so basic and available right in Settings means they do not have enough knowledge to use a phone. It’s like blaming your parents for something that you own. Baseless. Secondly, ios is secure. Fappening happened because icloud was hacked through password. It’s like your thief has a key to your door. It does not mean that the lock is to be blamed. It’s you who kept the door lock easy.

          ios 14 may be at par with Android OS but that's just software part. What about hardware? From this year, Apple won't include basic things like charger and earphone in the box alongwith iPhone. New users who wants to switch need to buy it seperately with additional cost. iPhone don't even have expandable storage facility and everybody knows it's dependence on iTunes for transferring stuff from laptop. Last, but not the least, Price. Cheapest iPhone costs equal or more than majority of Android mid-range phones. Only one good thing about ios is 5 years software support.

            Android still leads in customisability, but iOS is at least catching up. And good luck once installing custom ROMs will be an issue in the future.

GsmArena and probably Android Authority have noticed this. Depends whether you'll keep trusting those scam tests.

              iPhone is only behind gaming phones and few, if any, regular Chinese flagships (with cooling chamber) in terms of performance.

                Still the usual Apple restrictions won't sway me back and still prefer Android. Don't make me laugh Apple with widgets still restricted to the boring grid layout

                  iOS is for privacy concerned individuals is the stupidest statement of all time. Jailbreaking has always been possible because of exploits and vulnerabilities, so calling it very secure is idiotic.

Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro is a lot faster than iPhone 11 Pro Max and Samsung galaxy S20 ultra. Go to YouTube and watch speed test between them. Trust me it is miles faster and it has 5G too.

                          loved iphone/ios since I had one. ios is stable and software update support is more than 5 years.

                              Had an A70. Thought about getting an iPhone 11. Got a Galaxy S20+ instead. No regrets and will not even look at iPhones now.

                                Addy, 05 Jul 2020It won’t switch me from android cos I’m already an iPhone u... moreNot at all. When comes to android flagships and gaming smartphones... I leave iPhone 11 Pro maxes in the dust. They can't compete with Android.

                                  Addy, 05 Jul 2020It won’t switch me from android cos I’m already an iPhone u... moreIt is true but still ios has a lot to catch up ... for example it would be great if they can enable NTFS file support in ipad os ss for now only fat32 fashdrives are recognized by system plus some small improvements like fast charging notification and better download manager for safari ( it still kills download when i turn my ipad off) ... but about performance what yu said is true ... my ipad air runs games like shadowgun legends , cod ,fortnite super awesome plus no lags even i browsing and other stuff ... ios just needs little more flexibility thats all

                                    I’m not much of a widgets guy myself, but I’m glad finally i can ignore the calls from people i dont wanna answer at that time n carryon with my work.
                                    Im not into customizing the look either. The fluid od with email n some productivity apps is all that i need. iOS, for me gives those without any hiccups.

                                      I mean, it could have. But I did enough research. The widgets aspect is still rather limited and I just don't see it for me and ios. Maybe one day, but that notch is a hell now. I also like mah fingerprint sensor.

                                        It won’t switch me from android cos I’m already an iPhone user😁.. Apple will always lead android in terms of performance though u hv to pay higher price for better performance.
