    Apple simply because I want the latest OS when it comes out with no excuses why my hardware can't have it yet. Tried going to Android for about 2 years, hated it; all of my devices had outdated OS the day they shipped them and maybe got 1 update the entire 2 years I had them which was still 2 versions behind the rest of the world. Tossed them and went back to Apple and have been happy ever since.

    From my observations, iPhone works "out of the box", and it is ok for everyday users who just want something ready to go from day 1. Android phones offer the opportunity to look and tweak "under the hood", which is what attracts me to them. Mind you, in my home there are 2 iPads, 1 Mac Pro, and a few iPods, and a variety of previously used iPhones, now replaced by Android phones. Of which there is a variety equally replaced by newer Androids as technology progresses.

    In the end, the marketing department with the biggest budget wins.

    for real though- if you do use google drive or icloud or Mega or whatever, make sure you're putting everything into an encrypted file container first. i recommend Veracrypt. and for the love of everything holy, don't use the same password to open it that you use for your email.

    You mean I shouldn't be using "yourmom69" as my password for everything????

    This is why I wear satin gloves in my pics.

    I started with an iphone. But left because I hate iTunes. Now I'm happy with my android. I can do what I want, transfer songs and photos without a program, and already have all the features of an iphone plus more, and I have an older model android.

    I will say this, so far, iPhones are better for security.

    Edit: Arrrr! It's talk like a pirate day, it is.

    Tis that indeed

    Nothing much. A cup of tea, some deviled ham sandwiches and we'll catch some reruns of General Hospital circa 1978. The early Luke and Laura chronicles.

    Luke and Laura can GTH, Blair and Todd is where it's at
