Android or Apple (IOS), and why - no bashing people’s preferences!

All Apple, all the time, and for one reason only... security! When Apple releases a security update, it doesn't have to filter through my mobile carrier before it reaches me. Everyone with compatible hardware receives it at once. With Android, I had to wait for Google to release the update, then Samsung/LG/Motorola/Sony/HTC/etc. to incorporate it into a new firmware build, then for that build to be filtered through my mobile carrier (T-Mobile US) so they could approve it and add their own bloatware before it reached me. Unacceptable, even though I largely prefer the customizations available on Android devices (widgets, homescreen launchers, icon packs and such).0

...and this attitude is one of the reasons I won't buy Apple.
Seriously, Apple simply annoys me. With Android (at least most of the time) everything is interchangeable. My earbuds and chargers etc., fit my phone, which fits my tablet, which fits my old phones too. I haven't needed a new charger in years because they don't change them every darn time they make a new model, which is something Apple used to do. I admit, I don't know if they still do. I'm also used to the operating systems. Google is Google, at work and at home. I don't like purchasing apps and music and whatever, I like them free.
I'm not poor; I'm frugal - which is why I'm not poor.

Samsung and its Galaxy Note 8, retailing for $969, beg to differ...3 -
I like both. I LOVE my ipads (or rather, I loved them until my daughter smashed one and my son the other..blasted clutzy teens).. I love my iPhone even if it is just a 5s.. But I adore the Samsung Galaxies also. However, they have way more glitches than my I products ever had so that's a major downside for me.0

It depends on user wants/needs. Android allows more customization, and I really liked my Android phones before I switched to Apple. However, Apple doesn't play well with Android, and so I switched to Apple because of the number of group messages I needed to send and receive with the organizations I was involved in at school. Now I will probably stick with Apple because of ease and convenience.0

Get grips. It's something I always say as a joke.1 -

Technology is suppose to make things easier, not more of a hassle.
As a musician, I have a couple of studio headphones so it's nice to toss a pair into my bag and go wherever and do my edits/compositions. With the newer iPhones I would have to remember that damn adapter and heavens forbid I need to charge the device while working, which I can do now with my 6+.

Windows Phone
(Yupp, I'm one of the 2.5%)
I'm not interested in a shiny, polished interface that nevertheless never seems to work quite exactly as expected. Neither do I want to have to wait until the manufacturer of my device found a way to turn a security update of the OS into a method to make my phone significantly slower and/or ruin its battery-capacity.
I just want to work with my phone and expect it to do exactly this: Work.0 -
I just take this guy with me everywhere. So I guess Android for me

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.0

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.2 -
