Chimdiebere: Apps integration already exist on iphones. Chimdiebere: Iphone 6s plus has a display of 1920x1080 pixel with 401 ppi. That is full HD, though not as high as the Qhd found on galaxy s6 or LG v10, but u can hardly see pixels on a FHD 5 inch phone with 1080p display unless u are really looking for it. Moreover iphones have retina display which tweaks the display to make it look sharper. Chimdiebere: Why do u need to flash a custom rom when the one that came with the phone is already perfect. People flash custom roms on android because they don't like the rom that came with the phone, or to get updates. But since apple push updates to their phones all at the same time, there's no need to flash custom roms.. another advantage IOS has over android. Do u really think a busy businessman has a time to be flashing custom roms? That sh^t is meant for the kids. An average man wants a phone that works the way it is without having to flash custom roms. Chimdiebere: Iphone 6 has NFC, though it is restricted to Apple pay, but it is there. Chimdiebere: Did u say system update? You know that is one of the main advantages IOS has over Android. Also IOS has VPN, u can change ur Ip so I don't know where u get this ur comment from. You realize rooting voids ur warranty right? How many people do u think have time and know how to root their device? See this is why high class people use Iphones because they don't have time for rooting or flashing or tweaking, it just works out of the box. Don't forget u can also jailbreak ur iphone for the power users. You can manually change proxy and there are lots of VPN apps on the Apple App store. Chimdiebere: You must have been sleeping for a long time, Iphones now support 3rd party keyboards. Chimdiebere: Seriously? Really? You had to include this? How is this an advantage? 1. You won't need to overclock ur phone if ur OEM use the right chip and configurations for ur phone. I mean what is ur reason to overclock? To make ur phone run faster right? So what if ur phone is already fast and very optimized, do u also need to overclock just for the sake of it? There are no apps on the App store that the iphone can't handle, so why do u need to overclock ur CPU? If u are using a high end android phone like the galaxy note 5 then what is the need to overclock ur CPU? What app do u want to run that the default setting cannot run smoothly? This is actually an advantage IOS has over Android. 2. To be able to overclock ur cpu u need to root ur phone and void ur warranty. If u check nairaland phone section there are lots of threads about bricked android phones or android phones that have contracted virus. Why is this? because people root their phones, overclock their cpu, flash custom roms, etc. You don't need all these on iphones, it just works. Overclocking makes ur phone overheat, i really do not see the need for it if ur phone has the right specs. Again do u think serious minded people have the time to be doing all these? If i need to root my phone, flash custom roms and overclock my cpu before my phone can run fine then I'd rather stay with Iphone. Chimdiebere: What glory? Android is a more functional OS i agree, but IOS is better managed and optimized and that is why an app that runs great on 1gb and dual core iphone 6 will need an octacore and 3-4gb on android to run as smooth as it does on an Iphone. Serious minded people don't have time for customization and tweaks, it is meant for the kids and tech savvy which make up a small amount of cunsumers. If u think IOS is bad then why do people line up to by a new Iphone year after year? Chimdiebere: This is the only reasonable point u made. Even at that some android oems are ditching the sd card, galaxy s6, s6 edge, note 5 don't even have an sd card slot. Even Google's own Nexus P doesn't have an SD card slot, androids are gradually ditching the sd card. If u think 16gb is too small for ur iphone, they also have a 128gb version wich is more than enough for everything u need on a mobile phone. The thing is there are too many cheap sd cards out there, Apple doesn't wan't u messing with ur memory. These substandard cards tend to slow down phones after a while, it is a fact. Samsung knew this and they ditched the sd card in their latest flagship and now samsung phones are no longer those phones that run slow after a few months. Google also know this and they have refused to add SD cards on thei NEXUS because those phones will get a bad review when it starts slowing down due to the substandard SD cards. Chimdiebere: Bollocks. Who on this planet doesn't know that android phones are more prone to virus than Iphones. Chimdiebere: Most of ur points are BOLLOCKS. 4 Likes |

one more core fact that might amaze you which you just can't argue with , on Android, its very "easy" to bypass in-app billing thanks to some apps like lucky patcher and some other greater apps that I won't mention their names for security reasons. I've "cheated" a lot of app developers on Android phones and I get upgrades for free, but iPhone (upon the whole jailbreak) can't even run an interactive shell command line like Androids will do. So many app developers prefer iOS than Android in terms of profit, (but there's still piracy on iOS, but a very little bit unlike Android) but the most preferred is Windows phone! even iPhone is a learner to Windows smartphone when it comes to security! that's why Windows OS is indeed the hardest nut to crack for hackers, because I've never heard of any jailbreak on Windows OS . Microsoft doesn't give a shit to whoever that tries to "jailbreak" their Windows smartphone, they'll practically flush out that system and the phone becomes useless! unlike Apple that keep on patching jailbreak anyhow 2 Likes |

Chimdiebere:All your points are based on jailbreaks and tweaks and bypassing security and all stuff. Yea, you make good points but not all those points are valid. Why would I wanna bypass paying for an app I use if I wanted it? Its either I pay or leave it for the developers. If you were a developer who slaved for hours developing your code and perfecting it, and everybody get cheats and stuff and bypass paying for it, how are you gonna feel? jeez! 2 Likes |

Chimdiebere: And this is why Android is better than ios? By sideloading apps? Seriously u should come up with better points. This is why developers don't even bother to put more effort in making Android apps because they know they don't make much profit on Android. And this is why apps run better and faster on an iPhone with dual core and 1gb of RAM than on some Android's with octacore and 3gb of RAM. Another win for apple right there. Keep em coming. 1 Like |

and one more thing I just discovered which you can't argue the fact that Android is over iOS , Is the ability to do "screen recording". What's screen recording? this is when you can make a video tutorial using your phone without any external camera and Root permission is required to do screen recording on Android , just like those videos on YouTube where you see a guy using his Android phone for a tutorial and you might be wondering how. but iPhone guys can't do screen recording , highest they'll do is to get an external camera and that's why iOS video tutorials always annoy me! You can say and argue whatever you want but its a proven fact! Hope you're hearing this wherever you are Greenhulk. and lastly Being the master of your own device is only possible on Android because Android is a very faithful servant that doesn't easily " disobey " its master, unlike iOS where by whatever Apple says and you dare go against it , then you're on your own ! Apple is 200% against jailbreak, that's why crooked app developers can't just make an app that require jailbreak to work on your iPhone because Apple will instantly reject it at once! Google warns against rooting, but its not just anyhow Root app that Google accepts on their app store due to Google's restrictions on certain policies. So you see, now tell me who doesn't love open source OS . You can argue all you want but that's just the bitter truth here am telling you iPhone users ! believe it or not! |

iPhone users don't really feel comfortable eating KitKat bars around their Android counterparts for the fear of mockery. That's right , deep down inside you its paining and you know that KitKat is now a Google thingy. proverb- "whatever an iPhone can do , an Android will always do better because we're like sorcerers. But whatever an Android will do and survive easily, then iPhone users should back off! don't argue this fact because it's true, but you might not know what to say |

dumo1: Did you pick up ur s5 brand new?? If yes, are u sure your battery wasn't swapped ? S5 generally isn't a phone that has issues with batteries. It's got a very good battery |

abatically: The matters of rams and cores have long been discussed. Android uses multi cores to perform its operations while iOS need single cores. Regarding ram, why was the iPhone 6s bumped up to 2GB? Isn't 1GB supposed to perform all opertions flawlessly. If iOS is as smooth as u always claim. How come iOS 8 was plagued with issues all thru it's life?Apple tried fixing it but they never did and they released close to 8 variations but still had iaaues . With your other handle you make use of s6 while with this you make of note 5. abatically: |

well..two times have i decided to buy apple products and i ended up changing my mind on both occassions..i like to experiment and try out new things which after much consideration i discovered dat apple wud not offer..now i hav a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition 4rm tmobile and a samsung galaxy note 4 verizon all 4rm ebay..both running on android and i havent had a single regret so far even after over a year of usage on both devices..and i cud have gotten its apple contemporary for d same or a lesser price on ebay if i wanted..so for some of us,its about choice and preference,not price..i've done so many tweaks on the phone and tablet and i'm still ready to do more..i always feel like i own'em 100%..i just can't be bottlenecked by any OEM abeeg! |

To be honest, the Iphone isn't suited for Nigerians. Nigerians love flexibility, and the Iphone doesn't offer that. |

ollah1:I picked it brand new from the box battery was wrapped in its nylon. Samsung isn't generally good when it comes to battery life they should go and learn how Nokia held the game when it came to battery life. Also do research online s5 has battery issues. More like the battery was underpowered do such a high end phone but aside that every other thing works fine. 1 Like |
