          Anonymous, 19 Mar 2022Yes I know the discussion and debates part. And only after ... more‘’I have concluded’ Unfortunately dude you are not the deciding voice on the issue, if there even need be such an issue. I personally believe there is no way to discern which is best, because neither the criteria for establishing such, nor the metrics for measuring that criteria, nor the authority entrusted to provide the final ruling have ever been agreed. Nor do they ever need to be.

          It always comes down to which is best for each user, and you seem to have made your choice and provided some of the reasons for that choice, which is all good for sure. But saying Android is the better OS without doubt is wrong, it’s only undoubtedly the better OS for you.

          I used Android for many years before finally settling on iOS, but I’m not arrogant enough to go around saying ‘iOS is better’ nope, they are both mature, successful and capable platforms, iOS just happens to be my own preference.

                I am looking at massive battery drain after the new update in my ipad pro 2021.
                It is going down like a waterfall even in basic apps like safari.

Face ID with a mask uses a partial face (features around the eye area). If hardware can capture a full face, it can also capture a partial face. It's a simple fact. If Apple engineers read your comments, they will probably think that you're extremely stupid.

And only after that I have concluded that Android is better. Android has several more features than iOS. Android has tons of customisation options as well as custom OS that further enhance the usability. Not saying that iOS is undeveloped or unsecure, but from a purely technical perspective, Android is better for sure

                              Apple is becoming trash in software updates, they aren't testing their updates well before releasing them, last month battery problems with old macbooks and now with iphones 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Maybe in future if there's a back button in bottom part of display, i can think of buying an iPhone

There is no doubt about thatWell that settles that then eh, years of debate, endless disagreements about what criteria and metrics should be used to judge the outcome. And then some random anon on GSMArena just comes out and settles it like that.

                                    Androids the best, there is no doubting it, end of discussion. Well thanks random anon…….🤦‍♂️
