Apple 100%, had an Apple iPhone since they started in 2007 ... Apple to me is much more user friendly than an Android phone/tablet.

    I have both (one android phone, iPad and iPod touch). I find myself using the iOS version more often. iPad has a larger screen. iPod or iPad versions seem to load quicker and more smoothly. Both have their glitches but that's life in the world of apps.

    While I do have an iPod for my music, both my phone and tablet are Android. Needless to say, I'm partial to the Android ecosystem in general. I'm a bit of a Linux tinkerer, so that's part of the appeal; Android just feels more like a proper operating system than just a slick interface.

    I've had an iPhone since they first came out. Currently rocking the 7+. Not sure I'm feeling the new one though. I'll wait till one of my friends gets it so I can play with it.

    I personally prefer Android but my brother always gives me his previous iphone once he gets a new on contract lol can't complain though it does pretty much everything I need it to do and want on a phone but I just don't like the way iphones like to take over your pc haha!

    Android all the way. I have an iPhone for work and the thing annoys me to no end. They are not business friendly(seriously, I had to buy a $5 app to be able to do something as simple as forward a meeting invite from my calendar????)

    I prefer apple. I had 4 Samsung phones that were dropped from maybe 1 foot in the air and landed on soft carpet that have shattered or the pixels are all black. I have had this iPhone SE for over a year now and I can't break it. I have tried (I really want one of the newer ones). It's been thrown across the room, the kids have put magnets on it, it's been dropped from my back pocket and landed on concrete and even saturated in blood (accidentally cut myself really badly) but it won't break or even show any signs of wear. I think I was meant for this one. :)

    ...as an apple fanboy myself:
    Apple was never an innovator. Apple just took things others came up with and polished them to the Nth degree.
    As a creative, I'm sort of stuck with Apple. They have the best audio apps, photography apps, video apps.
    ...perhaps I'm just still bitter about losing the headphone jack.

    I'm still trying to get used to not having it. When I first heard it was going away, I said I would never get the 7. And guess what, I got the 7. LOL! At least it came with the adapter, which I forget most days so I just use my iPad at work for music.

    android, I will never go iphone, my husband has an iphone and I hate touching and using his phone, also he seems to have way more problems with his than I do with mine. I'm sure there are a few things iphone might do better but not enough to make me switch.

    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.

    I prefer android, To me it is more user friendly and compatable with more. iPhones seem to have better security. When smart phones first came out Apple was way ahead of everyone else but that is not the case anymore. Seems like most people buy the iPhone for the name just like Yeti cups, there are other products just as good if not better in some ways but people want the "name"
