What CAN'T an iPhone do that an Android can?

I've been using Android devices since the G1 and lately I've been thinking about switching to an iPhone. So what will I lose by doing so?
>>
>>56166497
complete loss of customization
>>
>>56166497
Money.
>>
>>56166545
I do like home screen ricing but honestly if I can organize the apps a little bit, whatever. Does it go deeper than that?
>>
>>56166497

I cannot wait for the iPhone 7 to come out and getting the fuck out of Android forever. Never again /g/.
>>
>>56166567
Jailbroke it and you will be fine
>>
>>56166611
Didn't the Nexus 5 come out in 2013? And you bought one recently? Jesus why

Android phones have a max shelf life of maybe two years and that's pushing it honestly.

>>56166599
>Safari
I've been using Chrome for a long time but want to drop it too. Is there no Firefox on iPhone? I already use Bluetooth headphones so that's whatever
>>
>>56166577
there is a webm browser that plays webums. it was made by a redditor, i bought and refunded it to use it on my iphone 5. it worked on 4chan. my iphone 5 is broken now, can't name the app.

>>56167473
Galaxy is the reason I moved over to iPhone. I was sick of all the lag, and the general unpolished feel of android. My friend asked me to text his girl while he was driving one day, I noticed how fluid iMessage was, and thought to myself, "why am I using this buggy hacker crap that lags all the fucking time, screw android."

All the shortcomings don't really bother me. I don't really use my phone for much outside of email, text, and phone calls.

I couldnt find an app like twighlight to dim my screen and remove blue light. Didnt look that hard either.
>>
>>56167826
i have a nexus 6p

it lags. it's not futureproof at all, i'll have to replace it due to artifacts on the camera lens. not the camera was good in the first place but it's basically unusable now. build quality is fucking garbage, the plastic at the edge of the screen is now just randomly chipping off. it gives no social status, everyone (rightfully) just assumes it's cheap chink garbage.

iphone is better in every way, i was using my boss's iphone 5 the other day and was using it with no lag.

Yeah seriously, everything just seems to be more fluid. My galaxy was laggy out of the box and no amount of tweaking seemed to be able to fix it. It would barely run if I had group texting going on with other apps, refuse to unlock half the time and a ton of other shit.

Developers seem to put more effort into iOS apps too I've noticed. Everything is prettier. Only thing I miss is not having a 4chan app and webms are a pain but I'll live.

I'm too lazy to do more, but they're all about the same. Apple's batteries have the same performance as most other manufacturers'. There are differences every once in a while, but they're not too great; you'd do well with one of the thirty-nine phones ahead of the Apple iPhone 6s Plus, which has the best endurance of any phone manufactured by the company.

Default third party apps, system-wide ad blockers, proper file browsers and a lack of customization come to mind. You can fix most of these problems by jailbreaking, though.
>>
>>56168426
Yeah but the point is you shouldn't have to. You don't have to root android for this.
>>
>>56168371
>>56167717
Also, battery performance is largely dependent on what is running. I have an HTC 10, which has a mediocre battery by comparison. However, a charge holds for three days when the device is used minimally and services like location and NFC are disabled.

>>56168213
This. My HTC 10 has a 2560x1440 screen at 565 ppi. The iPhone 6s Plus has a resolution of 1920x1080 at 326 ppi. It also has limited storage and can't be used for much beyond browsing the Internet.

I can connect to my file server at work, download my files (like C++) over FTP, save them directly on my phone, open them in a text editor, edit them, compile them, and install them as an application. Try doing that with an iPhone.
>>
>>56168439
I completely agree, it was a hassle having an iPhone run on the latest version of iOS while keeping it jailbroken at the same time, wouldn't want to go back again.

I might jump ship again next year if Apple decides to continue opening up iOS and releases some competitive hardware, though.
>>
>>56167667
....wtf I hate iPhone now

But really there's no 4chan app available on the app store? That (and lack of expandable storage) might actually be enough to prevent me from switching.
>>
>>56166611
Let me guess since youre an apple fag you still have stock right?

Try krexus. You'll get so much more battery life and you can UAW open gapps to pick and choose how much of googles default bullshit is on the phone.

Dude the cameras are shit... Especially compares to certain models of android phones.

I keep thinking of things as I read through this thread. I also appreciate the fact that my phone can take pictures in RAW. The camera works just as well as that of a new iPhone (both can shoot 4K video at 30fps), but has many more features.

Android is ok when you're poor and immature using it for: ricing for fun, sharing files like a good criminal and generally acting like a cYboR haCK3r with your redundant file browser and cli on a phone. Once you graduate to grown-up, non-neet status you get a comfy iPhone.

>>
>>56168576
Good explanation of the normie perspective.

If I'm paying $600 for a handheld computer that also makes phone calls, it better be able to function as such.

If I wanted just a phone, I'd buy a Nokia brick and call it a day. I admit the iPhone is a good phone, but it is a poor PDA/mobile computing device.

>handheld computer that also makes phone calls

You're also paying that much money to have the most insecure computing device on sale. It's laughable that some people on this board assume it's better because it does more things. Android's attack surface is so much greater than iOS. I don't really give a shit either way so whatever.
>>
>>56168689
Mega N64 on play store. Then go to the Pirate Bay and downlosd the entire n64 collection in one single torrent.

I bought a $25 android controller that also works on PC. It's a knockoff of the Xbox 360 controller and works better than the original n64 controller. I would not recommend playing without some controller. I tried for a few days but just got frustrated.

Windows attack surface is greater than Linux. That doesn't mean it can be secured or used securely and responsibly.

While not the case in the previous example. That greater attack surface is due to greater functionality.
>>
>>56167019
>Shit
This is not implying that the Apple camera is terrible

There isn't any way that it can be disputed that Android has many options for phones with better cameras than the single iPhone camera

You can keep trying to patch the holes in the hull as they appear or start with an already solid hull. To choose the former would be silly.

And why the fuck would you need such functionality using a phone when they are all more vulnerable than even a Window XP computer? Having a baseband modem means they are exploitable.

The iPhone is polished, everything about it is smooth because Apple locks their shit down. Android phones feel like a bunch of Haxor college level developers got together and made an OS.

Don't fucking try to defend your shit androids either faggots, what I'm saying is try and there is a reason for it.

Reason: Apple developed for one set of hardware, android is developed for multiple pieces of hardware.

An Android phone can run your own apps without having to pay any dev license.

As it is based on Linux and you have access to its source code you can make anything work with it via the usb-port. You can even build a robot out of it.

Of course, either of them are probably out of the intellectual capabilities of OP, so who cares.

Shit is a camera phone from the early 2000s, or from a low budget smartphone today. No iPhone has a shit camera, so stop using that word.

Fucking Sony. You have one of the best pocket cameras in the world with the RX-series, and somehow they still manage to fuck up the camera on their flagship phone

A real file system, clover, open source apps. The ability to side load apps. So you're stuck with whatever on the app store, having to jailbreak to pirate apps.

iPhones can't mount isos to be booted over usb, which is really nice if you have a job where diagnostics disks are a thing.

iPhones are made for consumers only, those who will just use social media, not someone with a serious job. They're an expensive hobby, nothing else.
Android is made for everyone, to be able to do anything. And even being consumer phones, although lower end Android devices aren't as fast as iPhones they are still so cheap that it doesn't matter, and are still able to do more things than iPhones. IPhones also lack any serious file sharing, external storage and ease of use (do it/fix it yourself). They also are too closed up and require iTunes to do anything, and force you to exclusively use apple products. Also >>56168213

They're shit in every aspct, starting from the looks of the device (iP4 did look great, but every other one are awful), ending with the walled arden that is the iOS. Wtf, you can't even copy a song without "synchronising" the device, nor send or receive anything via bluetooth. Complete garbage. Also aPple always makes sure that the latest versio for a device cripples it. iP4 is painfully slow on iOS 7, and so is the 4S on iOS 9 (althoug iOS 8 wasn't that great on this one wither). Also yeah, good luck with your Beats™ SoLo™ Wireless™ by Apple™

Nexus > iPhone

WhatsApp, Messenger, even email or MMS, there's a million options people actually use.

No, I don't want a 18MPx photo to be resized to VGA resolution nor compressed to instagram-tier garbage. Oh, I fogot, iPhones still take pictures as if they have a fontal VGA camera mounted on the back (;

why don't you have WPS for wifi yet
>>
>>56176277
Images go through various of terrible compressions before being sent through any of those apps, and who uses email anymore? Also why send it first online and then download it to a phone, instead of sending it directly to the phone? There's no need to rely on a 3rd party.
>>

Yeah, I named just the most evident ones. Don't even get me started on the garbage Phone/dialler and Messages apps, and the fact that you can't even replace them.

iPhone is a series of devices, Android is an operating system. You ment to compare iOS and Android, not iPhone and Android. That'd be the same as comparing "Samsung Galaxy" and iOS.

That's the old 4" devices, the 6 and 6S use 1334x750 and 1920x1080 for the regular and the plus respectively. Try to remember that the vast majority of Android devices have screens 5" or larger so you can't compare them on resolution alone to older iPhones.

There is a VLC app that lets the iPhone play webms. When you open a webm, it plays in the app.

>>56178251
So your "smart" phone isn't smart? That's the point. File management isn't new to phones it's been around for over 8 years and Apple hasn't improved their phones at all during that time. It lacks functionality to justify it's price. There's no reason to use iPhones anymore.
>>
>>56166497
Stay straight when you're sitting on it.
>>
>>56166497
NFC, customization,
expandable storage,
file system browser (including file drag and drop from a computer),
cheap chargers,
siri is absolute dogshit (my dad and I did a side-by-side with his company iPhone's siri vs my google now),
alternate app stores/repositories,
the default (google) store is reasonably well-designed

Essentially the only reason to get an iphone is that they're often free, and Apple's support is often far better than android manufacturers'. They go well with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, but you shouldn't be using that, either.
>>
For the normal user, iphone is perfectly fucking fine. You don't need a million bells and whistles. That whole "it just works xD" shit isn't completely true, but the stuff the iphone does it does quite well.

If all your smartphone is is to call, text, check maps, dick around with a few apps, and play a few games, then iphone is more than plenty. I personally recommend the iphone SE
>>
>>56166676
>>No stock firmwares to get away from the botnet
>>Sideloading apps is a pain because you need to resign them every week
As a normie: Whatever
>>No custom Kernels to improve shit battery life
Battery life is perfectly fine
>>Chargers are much more expensive than micro USB even if you buy third party (which might not work because real apple cords have an ID chip in them marking them as genuine)
Whatever
>>mediocre camera with shit lowlight
It's a perfectly good camera
>>no file explorer, terminal emulator, root, or ricing of any kind without a jailbreak
>>can't download certain files from the internet without a third party app (like mp3s)
>>just like Android, iOS can get malware if you're stupid
>>Screen is a fingerprint magnet
>>Siri still more shit than google now
Whatever

Unless you're an ultra geek, the difference between iphone and android is tiny.
>>
>>56181540
What are you doing on this board? If you can't use a smartphone as a pocket computer why pay hundreds of dollars for "just a phone" when regular vanilla phones exist? And spend an additional fortune for it's forced peripherals. People who aren't absolute retards when it comes to spending money, or apple fanatics know better than to use iPhones.
