>mfw I go onto this board
You know something? Why do we have to argue all the time over iOS vs Android when they are pretty much the same thing? Why do we have to have multiple threads about Google releasing yet another phone that no one really cares about? Why do we have so many shitty general threads about fucking headphones and Thinkpads?
Really the most important question is actually, why do you guys define yourself and others by the consumerist technology you own? It would explain why there are daily threads of so called rich kids bragging about their new Macbook Pro + iPhone 7 purchase to a bunch of strangers on /g/. It would explain the kneejerk reactions to shit you don't like.
Fact is, a lot of you /g/ posters are far too easy to bait and shit all over. Too many of you are defined by what companies shit into stores like WalMart and Best Buy and are far too eager to defend them and shit on anyone else who disagrees. And don't think the GNU-fanboys are safe from this either, you guys are a bunch of lemmings too.
I'm not saying this to imply that I'm better than you, I often make similar mistakes. But just try to not be such a dog to companies that just want you to fight their battles for them.

They aren't.

I love Karen.
General are the only good threads.
/g/ is literally anti consumerist
they hate them so much
unless it's thinkpad and gnu, but not apple and bsd

Also, in a broad sense, they are the same.
They have similar features, and each year iOS and Android become more like each other. Disregarding the Android OEM drama where a lot of phones and tablets aren't gonna get the newest versions of Android, the two OSes are pretty much the same. A lot of the same popular apps, similar layout for the homescreen, similar gestures, etc. Not saying that they are identical just similar enough for the differences to not matter in most cases.
