Spoken like a true ignorant fanboy. You're like a religious zealot asking scientists to explain why evolution makes sense.

Go do some researching for yourself. This isn't the first iPhone vs Android thread that you've posted in where I, and many others, have explained in detail why the iPhone blows in comparison to the competition. The only thing you've said up to this point is "iPhones are easy to use" -- yeah, so are the new Android smartphones on the market using Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean, or the Nokia Lumia phones using WP8.

Oh cool, four phones are going to get the latest update and one has already got it and etc etc etc.  That definitely doesn't sound like a giant fractured mess or anything.


:rofl: what? How does that even remotely prove Android is "fractured"? Phones being updated to the latest OS = good.

And especially this year, with Android phones, you have a giant selection of devices to choose from, while with Apple, you are stuck with only one choice.

Furthermore, how do other phones being updated or not affect your experience?

I just want a god damned phone that can look shit up on the god damned Internet.


You don't need a smartphone to do that. Phones from 4 years ago can already browse the web.

If you are already spending money on a smartphone, there is no reason why anyone should get an iPhone when there are numerous equally-priced smartphones out there that completely blow the iPhone to shreds.

Alienware laptops are actually the best that money can buy if you are looking for a top-end gaming laptop, as Dell (Alienware) is one of the only companies that updates their lineup with new GPUs/CPUs right when they come out (M17x/M14x/etc). They also beat Sager/Asus in terms of price/performance ratio and build quality. The Alienware today isn't the Alienware from 10 years ago (overpriced garbage), which is why a lot of people still have that false perception of Alienware products.

Anyway, iPhones are a completely different story, as they offer nothing that the competition can't.

You have four examples, one of which is already updated and three of which will be updated in the future. That sounds pretty fractious to me.

And when you happen to lose the lottery and your phone doesn't get updated anymore, it affects your experience, obviously. You get to be left behind. Unlike iPhone users, who are pretty well guaranteed to get at least a couple of years of updates to the latest OS.

I'm still waiting for someone to actually tell me in their own words which features I'll be missing by going with an iPhone and having a nice, slick user experience without an App store that's got tons of bad and broken apps. :(

That's pretty much my thought on the subject. I don't want to have to sit and keep my fingers crossed that I get to install Pumpkin Pie or whatever the fuck the next Android OS is called. I want something that I can just use to play games and get online and make phone calls. nn fiddling with my phone or giving that much of a shit about OS releases. I just want something that works easily but can stay upgraded and useful.
