I just got an iPhone for the first time yesterday. The iPhone 5c to be specific. Ever since I had a smartphone, I had an Android based device. The most recent was the Samsung Galaxy S II. A bit old to today's standards, I know, but I've had it for almost two years and liked it. Probably would have kept it a little longer if it wasn't having problems. Time to upgrade and iPhone was having a sale. The Galaxy S 5 was too and I was debating, but I decided to jump on the iPhone bandwagon for a variety of reasons such as starting a new job where everyone had an iPhone, some family members had it including one who lived long distance and can do facetime, was tired of having problems with Androids I've had including battery problems, and for sheer curiousness to see if it was as great as everyone claims it is.
So far though, I am not impressed.
I spotted your problem. I bet you got it free too with a 2 year contract. That's basically 2012's iPhone 5 in a new case.
I've got a 128 GB 6+... and it blows the doors off the 5c.
If you wanted a Galaxy 5 quality experience you should have went with an iPhone 6. I don't knock either... both Android and iOS have their advantages and disadvantages. I went from an S3 to a 5s last year... my first iPhone. Loved it... and upgraded to the 6+ a few months ago.
Couldn't be happier... and I love how all my devices (iPad Air 2, Apple TV, MacBook Air) sync with my phone.

Which was still a flagship when it was released. My wife still has the "lowly 5" that becamse the 5C and it still works perfectly for her.
So... you spent $500 on a phone? And you're going to give someone that got a former flagship for fvree a problem? Really?
And honestly, my friend, your expensive little 6 doesn't run all that much better then that "crappy" little 5.

Blows the doors off? It's a marginal upgrade. Ohhhh... it has 128 GB... which means nothing about how it runs. Ohhh, it has Apple Pay. Ohhhh... it has a marginally better camera. Ohhhh... it's Bigger Then Bigger...
Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify that $500 purchase, my friend.
You're almost as bad as Zeppelin in the other camp.
I avoid Apple, just don't like em. So I have Android. Samsung something or other, IPone is smaller, which I think is better. I like my Samsung, only wish it was smaller.

Yeah, it would be nice to have some more options on the smaller scale of things... But Android has improved vastly over the years in this regard. Just look at the Xperia Z3 Compact.
Apparently you forgot the part of my post where I legitimately argued against your points? Someone needs to brush up on their reading comprehension skills
Argued against a point? All you said was "You're lying, my Android does more and the iPhone is expensive". Sounds like you're the one who's inexperienced in the Android platform since you can't even express what it does so much more of nor how it can perform better the tasks I outlined in my original post about why some people might prefer iOS. It's ok though, I suppose that's too tall of an order to ask of you. Sounds like the real "sheep" is the one who doesn't know why he likes what he likes.
Do you think society has been duped to think the iPhone is the best?
The society? Really?
I work in a huge company, and after I read your post, I observed that only about one in four have iPhone. I don't have it either ...

Do you really expect me to spend the time writing a post about how your essay was wrong in any way? No way, I'll save my time for someone with a decent argument.
Actually ARM architecture put Android performance well above iOS. They've switched away from JIT to pre-compiling. The quality of the popular apps are the same more or less with the exception of the Google Apps being much better on Android (maps, gmail, etc.). Swift is still fairly new... it's not like Apple had good dev tools for iOS for long. Android's new dev tools, while in beta, are based on Intellij... so that speaks for itself.
I'm pretty sure you meant ART and not ARM. iOS runs on ARM as well. It's ART runtime that really propelled Android above iOS in terms of performance. But this is always a one-up game. This round just happened to have gone to Google.

I thought it was a phone?
