i use iphone since iphone 3g until now iphone 4 with iOS 6.1.2 ... i also have galaxy tab 8.9 and nokia n9. the advantage from iphone comes from better quality application on app store and more stable. but without jailbreak (never installed piracy apps) iOS worse than android

    Android old? How long did it iPhone to have a copy and paste feature? YEARS. How long did it take iPhone to get pull-down notifications a la Android? EVEN LONGER.

      android is sometimes heavier on the phone (laggier) than ios because it has real multi-tasking... that's something apple can't offer, true multi-tasking is something you'd expect from a 2012 or 2013 smartphone right ?

          translation:
          "a year old Android is selling and perform better than up-to-date iOS."

            even gsmarena slammed phil schiller "what is ios providing wid same ui" also he doesnt know 4.2 released in october n thats not even complete 5 month old... now it is proved, not only customers but even people working with apple are biggest FOOLS in this world... any update in android gives it a major change but what changes does ios bring?? same old stuff all over again... i can differentiate between two different android versions running on two separate phones but cannot do the same running ios coz they all are same which they call it an update... screw u apple... u r good for nothing n customers r just like u... plain stupids...

                            For me,even Gingerbread is still much better than any IOS out there.

                                    Mr schiller needs to realize that when google do release an update it has to go to samsung to be tweaked with its UI, while apple on the other hand has no middle man so its update is pushed directly to its devices. both OS are good in their own ways BUT THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST THING AND APPLE ITSELF KNOWS THIS....

                                        i smell fear . . . well, all this is doing is adding another stain to the tainted image of Apple in the consumer market . . . with android, support and new apps/games is still coming in despite having older OS versions(like the gingerbread) and older phones . . .

                                        on the iOS, i can't install anything anymore on my ipod touch 2g from the Apple App store . . . it's like, i'm stuck with the games i had already installed, and will be forever stuck with the old games that's available for my "lower version" . . since even the older games have updated limiting the version of the iOS for use of iphone 3gs and above, leaving nothing for those older phones . . . .

                                        Apple has always been like that, ---"if you can't keep up with the hardware requirements, well goodbye, we already have your money"
