yeah like explode

>>57025788
Yeah. Our carriers don't lock shit down as hard as American ones, but sometimes it's a pain removing a simlock to switch networks.

Since Android users can't really say and explain why Android might be considered better than iOS, I'll list a few things.

>Easier customization
Android can be modded without security exploits and is often just an app download away as opposed to iOS where you have to jailbreak to even use icon packs. To this end, you can also install different operating systems if you so choose but that's drifting away from Android.

>Alternative app stores
Like in the last point, iOS needs to be jailbroken. Android can easily get Amazon or for the freetards, F-Droid for their apps. Clearly useful if you aren't a big fan of Google.

>The ability to change default apps
iOS locks you into Safari when you click a link in the mail where as in Android you can use something like Chrome or you use Firefox and have it as the default.

>Bluetooth file transfers
iOS uses AirDrop which is a combo of wifi direct and bluetooth between Macs and iOS devices. Nice feature but Android can do bluetooth file transfers to Macs, Windows, and Linux as well as other Android, JavaME, and Windows Phones too. But with things like email and SMS being an option especially on phones, that's kinda moot.

>>57025655
>That's good for if you want a custom made bigger battery, but for those worried about the battery wearing down, usually you'll have upgraded before that's an issue.
But when you have a phone that doesn't slow down over it's life due to software updates battery wear becomes an issue.


Oh.

>>57025537
>What can you do on Android that you can't do on iPhone
Download files larger than 100MB on LTE.

>and why is it necessary?
Because almost everything is over 100MB these days and I have multiple GB of traffic a month so 100MB file limits makes no sense.

>>57025859
>but Android can do bluetooth file transfers to Macs
Can they? Last time I tried it wouldn't work.

Dude, activities and parcels suck fucking monster cocks. Android API is fucking dog shit. Literally half the design decisions with the API can be done on iOS without nearly as much drama. You can serialise data and send it to another app on iOS, Java jerks up parcels because the OS manages activity lifecycles. iOS could do this, but hey, nah, we can pass actual objects without implementing different interfaces for each shit type. Not to mention, rotate a device, refill all the data, fuck that. Android and Java suck cocks. Garbage collection on mobile devices was dumb as fuck and designed for lazy idiots, hence why native iOS is superior.

>>57026045
You should compare jailbroken iOS to a rooted Android, not compare a jailbroken iOS to stock Android.

Customization. You can completely replace your entire launcher and lock screen, and thus most of the UI on your phone.

Not locked down to the App Store. You can install custom apks easily. I'm uncertain if you can install applications on an iPhone without approval from Apple.

Free WiFi hotspot.

Replaceable batteries and SD cards.

MDM tools for enterprise that aren't complete shit.

Development market share. Android has a larger audience, so it makes more since for developers to first focus on their Android customers, depending on if they're focusing on quantity of users.


Last, but certainly not least:
3.5mm headphone jack.

A little off-topic, but could you recommend a lock screen? I remember changing lock screens being a hassle a few years ago, and most apps didn't properly change it making everything kind of buggy.
No root.

>>57026161
I will completely unironically recommend the lock screen developed by some side-project team at Microsoft:

>You can install custom apks easily. I'm uncertain if you can install applications on an iPhone without approval from Apple.

You can actually sideload apps on iOS. Sadly, it sounds like you need a Mac. The second link doesn't need a Mac for sideloading apps though.

>Replaceable batteries and SD cards.
Those are features of devices themselves, not the OS.

>Development market share. Android has a larger audience, so it makes more since for developers to first focus on their Android customers, depending on if they're focusing on quantity of users.

I hear that Android users don't pay money for apps like iOS users do, though.

>>57026210
Android apps are lower quality though.
For example, the snapchat app on Android takes a screenshot of the screen instead of taking a photo with the camera like on ios.

>>57026210
>Those are features of devices themselves, not the OS.
When you typed this, did you really think this comment is reasonable?

In this particular case, the OS is inextricably tied to the hardware.

This really shouldn't need to be explained.

>I hear that Android users don't pay money for apps like iOS users do, though.
Absolutely true, but this is primarily pertaining to customer of cross-platform services that expect availability. Think about services like Netflix, where there is potentially a greater proportion of paying users in comparison to the total population of iPhone users, but in sheer numbers, they have more users that use Android away from their desk and TV.

>>57026184
Thanks for the rec.

Seems okay, but I'm not liking how to unlock. Seems it's limited to dragging down to unlock only, while I prefer one where you can just swipe any direction.

>>57026267
>In this particular case, the OS is inextricably tied to the hardware.

Not really. Especially with the point on the battery, when you have Android OEMs that are increasingly making it harder (but not impossible) to replace the battery. Also, I knew some people who where handy enough with phones to replace iPhone batteries.

With the SD card, again, more Android OEMs are cutting that out with cloud storage being a big thing. Not to mention, you can expand your iPhone's storage using the Lighting connector using things like this;

https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/20/the-best-iphoneipad-usb-flash-drives-with-lightning-connectors/

It's clunky but not any different from people who really wanted USB OTG flashdrives for their Android tablets and phones.

>>57025594
Fucking swift 3.0 is the worst.

>>57026336
Expanded Internal Memory
vs.
A fucking tumor sticking out of their phone.

You're really grasping at straws at this point, and you've conveniently ignored the other points made.

I'll make this very simple for you:

There are new Android devices that allow you to expand the memory with an internal SD card.

There are new Android devices that allow you to replace the battery quickly and easily, without voiding your warranty or requiring you to do out-of-the-ordinary dismantling of your phone.

Furthermore, all of the other things I mentioned above do NOT require jailbreak, and thus the potential to void your warranty. (Not to mention that jailbreak isn't available immediately on release for an iPhone anyway.)

>>57025655
>>quickly make an app in java
>It's a niche but I'll give you this one.
iPhone apps are generally (if not always) written either in Oblective-C (let's and let's common) or in Swift, two languages that run only under OS X and macOS, whereas Java (more common language) runs everywhere, allowing developers to create Android apps from Mac, Windows and Linux (maybe even Android itself, I'm not sure).
BUT you have way less devices to test your app on with iOS than with Android, so debugging is generally easier for iDevices.

Can I put music on an iphone without going through itunes?
Can I browse its files?
Can I customize the UI?
Can I install a custom ROM, totally changing the experience?
Can I put in a MicroSD, which has been the standard for years?
Can I change the battery when its been a year or two and its starting to hold less charge?
Can I insert a headphone into it?
Is it affordable?

keep denying reality

again, there is nothing wrong with liking an iPhone. Your average consumer does not want all of that shit anyways. That doesn't make them "dumb" or anything, its just typical. You just want your shit to work.

Guess what faggot? Your average consumer isn't on 4chan, nor does he want to control his phone, and he sure as shit doesn't take an interest in things like security and Linux

1. It's natively compatible with Windows Media Player and Explorer and natively accepts mp3 files, thereby sidestepping the need to deal with iTunes' clunky shit. Although the Apple Music app is less buggy in my experience.

2. You don't have to pay to publish an app and the process is generally more flexible.

3. By default you can transfer files between an Android and a PC in either direction, directly. Specifically, if you want to put some pictures on your PC, you don't have to load every one you've taken since you last did so.

You can publish apps on Google Play perpetually for $25 USD. All you need to start developing apps is a PC. Some people can't (most will never) afford the apple ecosystem, yet a phone is not a luxury, well at least not calls, text, which are cheaper using some kind of app.

>>57025553

>>57025887
>Download files larger than 100MB on LTE.
What? You can do this.

>>57025537
What can you do on iPhone that you can't on Android and why is it necessary? Not only do I get full control over the Android system I also have a back button, file manager (yes, it's important, even dumbphones have it), alternative stores, complete uninstallation of apps, torrenting and much more. I can fix it myself and literally everything is free (or can be pirated) and devices are more diverse. There's no reason to pay apple for mediocre services.

>>57028452

Now my opinion, I have a 64gb microsd filled with music, pictures and weeb shit on top of my 32gb base and I'm about get a new battery cause mine is starting to last shorter.
-It is easy and convenient to watch my weeb crap, the 1080p (also available in icrap + tho ) is glorious.

>>57025537
Let's compare unrooted to unjailbroken, since once you get into "Imma load custom os on my tiny ass device" you can pretty much go anywhere from there

customization
android wins this hands-down. launchers let you search through or browse apps as you want to, with broader gesture support; widgets let you do things like check the weather at a glance; different unlock methods (for those who aren't interested in fingerprints) let you choose how to access your phone

filesystem and sharing
try moving files from iphone to someone else's computer. Hint: iTunes will throw a bitchfit and try to wipe your phone
Android lets you drag+drop files to and from any computer

default apps
Android lets users set default apps for basically everything. Music, photos, web browsers, everything. Apple... doesn't

price/user choice
You can buy an unlocked android phone with sd expansion for something like $100. It won't be great, but maybe you don't need great, maybe you need eh with lots of storage

app stores
android lets you use alternate app stores. ios doesn't

Also adaway is nice.

>>57026673
Half of those things are hardware related, and there are several android phones with no sd slot or removable battery. There are dope explorers for iPhone, and if you jailbreak you most certainly can customize the hi. Oh you can also download a music player app that lets you browse files if you're jailbroken, also what is iFunbox?

Android is slightly more customizable, but it's also slower due to poor optimization and less secure.

You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

None of that is necessary

I've been told that when you reset the phone to factory settings it asks you for the previous apple account still. So to sell it you have to reset the phone, log in and then log out(or just log out). Is it true?

Other than camera it pretty much is.
Some functionality can be unlocked by jailbreaking, but apple actively tries to stop that, android does it out the box, and root is either out the box or easily obtained with no google trying to stop you.

You can own a smartphone without giving money to Apple.

Be able to block all ads OS-wide while also receiving security updates.

You need root to modify host files on either Android or iOS. On iOS, to obtain root, you need to jailbreak, which requires exploiting a vulnerability. If the vulnerability is patched by a future update, the jailbreak is lost. On Android, root access can be obtained simply by flashing a recovery image through fastboot mode, and then flashing a superuser binary from the recovery. Neither of these require making the phone less secure, and one can still flash new OS images as need be should vulnerabilities be found.

Rooting Android is much more convenient than jailbreaking iOS. Any time one might consider using jailbroken iOS, it might be a better idea to just use Android.

share data (text, pictures, videos, etc) between any two apps that can send/receive that data

ex. take picture in camera, share immediately to literally any app that can accept image files

ex2. share link directly from chrome to fb messenger without having to copy, navigate home, open messenger, then paste

Since it's 2016 and every fucking application ever is made with something.js and the mobile version is just a WebView package, there's not one single god damn difference at all between them.

Except Apple users have more sex.

Well, we get better apps in iOS because Java is shit, and developers don't make quality apps for the play store with your insane piracy issues.

>>57025537
Separate volume control for
-notifications (ex calls and messages)
-sound (ex video music)
-alarms

This way you can have the volume for your alarm set to a certain level and not have to worry about it being muted the next morning. Additionally you can have notifications muted so that your movie/music playback is not interrupted etc etc.

One of my major gripes with iOS.. maybe not necessary but a very handy feature.

Ouch.

With an Android phone, I can compile and install my own 100% open source operating system, customized and optimized however I like it. Or I can install one I like that was made by a good developer I trust. And freedom doesn't require a justification of necessity.

Android is heavily customizable, iOS (non jailbreaked) is not, but to 95% of people it doesn't matter so they go with iPhone

have an OS that doesn't feel like total shit when on a large screen

Not really. ROMs don't totally change the experience either. It's the same operating system, just with changes here and there, mostly UI changes too.
No, but it's not really a valid complaint unless you need 256GB+ of space.
Not easily, but it's doable. Same as with android flagships. This point is moot.
Yes
If you can afford an android flagship, you can afford an iPhone.
If you can't, you shouldn't buy a smartphone in the first place.

nowadays the only thing Android can do that iOS can't is accessing the file system (which is irrelevant for most people)

Also you can pirate stuff more easily on Android, which is by no means a good thing since because of this developers and content creators give preference to iOS.

> pic related, it's b8 but true in a way.

I guess the main one for me is to drag and drop files to/from my phone.

I did also install a custom ROM (XtreStoLite) to debloat my Galaxy S6 Edge. I guess it would be handy if you could get rid of the unused inbuilt apps and iOS components from iPhones too.

One of the main things for me previously was the ability to use things like Swype and SwiftKey, but I see that they are available for iOS now. Do they work okay?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering a switch back to iPhone. My last one was the 4S. I already own Bluetooth memephones too.

>>57039971
Content publishers are somewhat wary of piracy, but a majority of people aren't /g/ neets so it isn't that bad.

Besides, they'd be locking themselves out of a majority of the smartphone market by being iOS only.

Why everyone doing this? We're talking about the phone, not the customized one. Just basic standard stuff. The talk of root/jailbreak means that your phone CANNOT do the actual action on the base model.

You can't store files on it like a normal hard drive. It's a DRM prison. You can't even put music on it, you have to go through iTunes.

Even as someone who owns a MBP and iMac Retina I just cannot get down with the iPhone's DRM restrictions.

Legitimate question.
What can you do on an iPhone that you can't do on Android and why is it necessary?
Here's a pic of someone holding an Android because that's what we're discussing.

communicate with linux
I can't use an iphone again unless I buy a mac
that's going to take some doing

>>57044527
As I said earlier ( >>57044425 ) I have TWO Mac products and ZERO desire to get an iPhone.

>>57025553
Customize things without being treated like a second class citizen (my iPhone's keyboard keeps switching back on its own).

Swap the default messaging app.

Pick what I want to do with my phone, not the other way around.

Have my pebble watch respond to texts without having to go through AT&T.

Get a legit 4chan app.


iPhonetards will say "Too cheap to get an Apple watch" my response is "I'm sorry, I should be able to use whatever I want, shouldn't have to pick a phone just for some hardware."

Is a jailbroken Iphone always going to be better than android? I previously had a jailbroken iphone 6 which I sold and now use an s7 and I feel like I fucking downgraded.

>>57045163
better as in smooth performance, no fucking lag and still decent customization. I don't flash roms or anything, but being able to customize my homescreen and gestures is important to me.

They're usually better priced for what you get, and the variety of choice attracts a lot of people. Removable batteries are useful, and a more customizable interface is a plus if you're willing to spend an hour or two doing it.

Does iOS still use the onscreen back button at the top? If so it's garbage. You can always rely on Apple to sacrifice functionality for design.

That screen on time is really impressive once you see the difference in battery size.

>>57025537
no access to hardware apis on ios
That means absolutely no diagnostic tools will ever exist on iphones or ipads to analyze wireless signal strength or report on bssid/channel spread

Theres also only 1 restricted app market so i cant run emulators or have easy access to customization (read:ricing) tools

Those are my two main reasons. Plus I'm vehemently against giving that company money. They care nothing for their users and constantly shit on devs to boot.
