Let's run down the list

Android phones let you:
>download over 100MB over mobile data
>install a third party app launcher and icons
>use it as a flash drive
>share any kind of file over wifi/bluetooth
>torrent via torrent clients in the playstore
>install apps outside the playstore
>modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain
>manually controll complex camera functions via third party apps
>natively browse files
>view better colors via amoled displays
>browse 4chan and natively open webms inside them via third party apps
>extract/browse archives
>add additional phone storage via a micro SD card
>replace the stock battery with a bigger one
>add widgets to your home screen
>access important functions by swiping down

You can spout all the "lagdroid XDddd---" memes you want but Android phones truly are more advanced than itoddler phones and the reason why they hold over 90% of the global smartphone market now.

Microsd is so lovely. Last phone had 16GB with no SD card, spent half my time deleting crap or clearing app data. Got a droid turbo 2, and now I've got 32GB and another 32GB with this SD card. Most of it filled up with the garbage bloatware Verizon stuffs onto every phone and can't uninstall, like NFL Mobile, Kindle, Audible, and Korean, Japanese, Pinyin, and Indic language support for the Google keyboard.

No root available for the droid turbo 2, not likely to ever happen either. Its non-verizon counterpart has root but it's not compatible with the dt2 and I doubt just the dt2 on its own can draw enough attention.

If you get a phone with good community support, you don't have to worry about bricking anything.

>>58103146
It is true. As an Android user who recently got his first iPhone, I'm getting surprised every other day by the things latest iOS can't do.
Like:
-downloading and emailing a pdf using a third-party mail app;
-opening links in whichever app/browser you want (this is actually one of the most infuriating things, sometimes it takes up to 5 redirects from app to browser to app to browser to app, this is just ridiculous);
-customize the control center;
-block ads for good;
Basically everything >>58103286 already listed.

Though iPhone's most basic functionality feels much more polished and it feels so great.
-Phone, Messages, Photos and other stock apps are really good. iMessage is fantastic. The Camera app is arguably the fastest and most straightforward.
-consistency throughout and through;
-local backup via Photos and iTunes;
-no perceivable lag. Even the latest Android phones drop frames here and there/make you stare at splash screens/etc.

TLDR: iPhones are exceptional at things they do, but there's just too much stuff they simply can't and you gotta deal with it.

>>58103286
This is true but you forget to point out that all normies care about is if the phone is simple to use and looks good

>>58104466
>no perceivable lag. Even the latest Android phones drop frames here and there/make you stare at splash screens/etc
iPhone generally performs better because there's only "one" iPhone so they can do a lot more optimization compared to Android phones which have different manufacturers and hardware. I also think iOS is lighter on RAM usage since some people do just fine with 1 GB of RAM while my Android phone uses 700-800 MB just for the operating system itself so having only 1 GB of RAM would make it very difficult to use.

>>58104526
You're probably right. A recent experience: I was playing Oceanhorn, someone called, I picked up, then switched to Safari, opened a few tabs, and used a few apps shortly after that. An hour later I remembered I was playing, switched back to it and it was still running. That's 5s with 1 gig of RAM.

>>58103146
I have an ipod 5th gen and I'm looking to switch to something that can keep a bunch of apps running without refreshing what would be a good choice?

>>58103146
I am an android user and i accept iOS is a pretty okay operating system for normal people who just want to browse facebook or check their email or use instant messaging.
But i have to also accept iOS is terrible for most of people on /g/, people who like to tinker and hack with their devices (and browser a technology board of all places). iPhones look good in the hand of normal people but terrible in the hands of tinkerers and people who like to experiment

Android is so advanced, that it took Google 2 years longer than Apple to ship file based encryption, and it doesn't even work. I'm sure there will be an update soon enough.

>>58104526
iOS apps are generally much more memory efficient that Android apps, Java + GC vs Obj-C + ARC. Different tradeoffs.

>>58105820
Its open source, that essentially takes away all bitching rights, because it can be altered to satisfy all needs.
Want an android phone that focuses on security, there's blackphone or you could create your own rom, its open source.
Want an android phone that has a very small footprint? There's slimrom, or you could make your own
Want an android phone that has MLP themed everything because you just love that? Create your own rom, simple

You dont have a choice in iOS, you, the user cannot alter the system to match your requirements. Now if you ask me, thats the real shame

>>58105912
Oh Christ. You think that shipping a broken product is excusable because lol Open Sauce? You're a moron.

Im just saying you have a choice to modify everything when you're using android

>>58104677
I'm pretty sure that iOS freezes applications memory and shuffles them out to storage whenever possible in order to get by with the 1GB (or 2GB) of RAM.

I just don't see it being able to keep all of it in RAM constantly. It certainly has better memory management than Android but Apple haven't shown any signs of amazingly low memory usage on OSX, so there's no reason to believe they have managed it on iOS.

You're implying that it's a more ADVANCED technology, though

>>58106047
>Nothing being shipped is broken faggot
Appart from Android N's file based encryption that doesn't remove keys from memory after they have been used, which leaves the system more vulnerable to attacks while claiming to be more secure. Seems broken to me.

They are more advanced in the sense that there is a shitload of software and software development for Android due to its freedumbs and the root community.
So there's always new functionality and software being developed on it that utilizes access which would otherwise be locked down for security reasons.
In that sense, Android is way more advanced.

>>58105990
It's not a broken product, it's an open product.
That means you have to work a little to get the way more advanced functionality than Apple has to offer.
Apple products are for lazyfaggots. They are not advanced, but they are there and they are secure enough.
If you are a lazyfaggot, then keep using Apple, nobody will slight you for it.
But don't call something broken because you don't know shit about the why and what in regards to it.

>>58106120
>Appart from Android N's file based encryption that doesn't remove keys from memory
Literally nothing faggot, you really think someone is going to rip apart my phone to access my phone's fucking RAM just to extract the encryption keys?

iPhone has a niche and it's not really feasible to do certain things within those constraints.

>>58106159
Put it simply, when the keys are left in memory malicious software can easily extract them. Malicious software is an area where Android truly excels over iOS.

This is become iPhone users are retarded and buy for the brand rather than what's inside.

Ios isn't a giant ad and government spying machine so it wins.

>>58106359
This is because Android users think they're special and need to have the equivalent to a 10 year old desktop PC running Linux in their pocket.

Checkmate, Cuckdroids.

My fiancé for whatever reason thinks you need to be incredibly tech savvy in order to use an android phone. I have no idea why people are under that impression they're literally both idiot proof with different operating systems.

>>58106509
just the fact that you can rip all the required compatibility stuff right out of the code and thus skip some checks should come into account here, and then there's a multitude of interfaces to prepare for in an Android app while you can have the specs for all iPhones probably on one Post-It Note.

It just doesn't have to be as complex, which also makes it limiting in a sense.

>>58104428
Simply making it accessible by phone will add to people interested in it, which will then lead to people developing for it. The more apps, the more desire to buy the tech, the more desire to make the tech more accessible in all markets etc. etc. etc.

As long as it exists and adds new functionality, it'll be a selling point to _someone_.

So much cognitive dissonance and denial in one post. That was kind of a painful cringey read. You're trying so hard to justify iPhone's shortcomings by moving the goalposts back to the starting line, or 'heh only losers would browse here with a phone'

I can do just about anything a $600 iPhone does with my $100 Motorola G4 Play, albeit worse camera. But that's it. I can browse more efficiently, multitask, and have a battery that lasts much longer, and am not afraid of getting scratches or marks since it's so damn relatively cheap.
