An Apple Study made public during the Apple vs. Samsung trial reveals the reasons why people bought Android phones over iPhones back in 2010.
Top Reasons for Buying an Android Among Those Who Considered iPhone ● 48%: Wanted to stay with current wireless service provider ● 36%: Trusted the Google brand ● 30%: Preferred larger screen ● 27%: Preferred the Android Market for apps ● 26%: Wanted better integration with Gogole services (e.g. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Voice) ● 26%: Wanted the latest and greatest smartphone ● 25%: Wanted turn-by-turn GPS navigation ● 25%: Wanted the latest technology.
The screen on the iPhone 4 is eiethr stronger than the older 3G and 3GS or it is fitted in a way that makes it less prone to shattering.I have friends that have cracked a lot of screens on their iPhone, yet I have never had an issue simply because I don't drop it. I'm probably just lucky though If you are concerned then get a case. Or treat it like the expensive bit of kit it is and try not to lob it around!Also, the first answer was onto something the iPhone 5 will be released later this year so I would wait for that.
Do the comparision: galaxy sIII and nokia 1610 Bahh !!! Nokia more comfortable due to size :) btw bigger screen is pointless if u like screen size buy sony 140" hdtv if yourz ass support it .
Add more category with those list:
* better hardware
* better software than ios
I have both devices 4s and gs3 but it makes me wanna smash my 4s every time i use my gs3, i like the aesthetic of iphone but it falls way behind interms of hardware performance and android os, I wish apple could make better
Apple must have had these data all along which reflect the changes made for the upcoming iPhone 5. Most notable is the 48% loyalty factor to carrier; the rest is subtractio/addition evaluation yet no less important.
4" retina screen and iOS maps features should now be equal to Android counterparts for comparison. Market vs. AppStore is personal choice but for some a deciding factor. If one is a hater of a particular company, the other product is a sealed deal. There you have it Apple/Google haters.
For me, I'll benefit from this mortal battle. Nonetheless, I put $ on A because G does not make any hardware.
I'm on an iPhone still. Only because there is no better alternative though. I don't prefer android but I would never ever, in a million years chose a stock iOS device over a stock anything else. My iPhone is jailbroken all to hell and I couldn't handle ups if it were not.
@curtix, I agree totally. Have you ever tried using an iPhone that isn't jailbroken? It is ridiculously boring and useless. Without jailbreaking, I would be android all the way and never look back. The gs3 looks awesome and if I had the money, I would probably have already gotten one.
Would you care to elaborate? In what way is the iPhone miles away from my Nexus phone? I used all iPhones until the iPhone 4, and then I just got sick of the same interface never changing; of the fact that I couldn't have a different launcher; sick of the fact that I couldn't use Swype or Swift Key as my keyboard; sick of the fact that Google's Navigation (which is Free) is better than paid verions on iOS; I got sick of the fact that I couldn't install apps from my computer; sick of having only one app store; sick of the ridiculously small iPhone screen, and many more...
How exactly is it that the iPhone is miles ahead. Please do tell. You seem to be well-versed in the subject.
Samsung or any other are just copycats of the iPhone, yes Apple is a closed iOS and there are some stuff i cant do but those are minor issus to me. The quality and beauty of the iPhone just blows away the android that Looks silly and childish. The exclusivity of the Apple iOS, the iTunes etc, still makes the iPhone n1
I agree JC, you are right! Apple is going down because of the nonsense lawsuits and the same BS marketing.
My next phone will be a Nexus, Galaxy or a Lumia 8.
It's funny how you totally contradict yourself with your comments. In one comment you're talking shit to and about people that own android phones. then your next comment says apples going down And you're next phones gonna be a android or windows phone. Bipolar maybe?
Here in Holland they give away wankdroid phones with almost every contract, whereas you have to pay for an iPhone.. maybe that also explains why wankdroid is selling (read giving away) so many phones....
100% wanted the best OS, but could not afford it.
Also, "best OS" and Android dont even belong in the same sentence with so many variations like ShitWiz and noSense.
