iphone is like McDonald's:  pure mediocrity, but at least it's consistent and you know what you're getting.

Discussing apple vs android is the modern version of discussing politics or religion and very rarely are snarky (or reasonable) comments going to change anyone's mind.

my problem with apple is that they used to not work with anything else, now there are plenty of multi platform apps/software etc.  not as big a deal to change.

when you sell more phones than anyone in the world, that's what happens.

Well that's a little misleading, Android still has over 80% world market share.

Not working with other crap was always Apple's choice. Probably mostly in an attempt to maximize profit, but sometimes also due to a Steve Jobs personal vendetta.

not misleading at all.  apple sells more phones than any other company.

and yes, to your point, those android phones sell like hotcakes in developing countries.

It is misleading to imply that there are now more platforms to support iOS because Apple sells the most phones, because their software platform is and always has been just a drop in the bucket compared to Android.

how hard is it for you to get your contacts/etc from an android to an iphone?
apple has a "move to iOS" app on Google play.  I will be doing it 4 times in the next day so I should have some protips soon.

The first thing is you have to dl a 2.2 gb firmware update while tethered to computer so do it someplace width a nice fat pipe.  Also, pick a short apple id and a easy password, apple makes you enter both a millon times when starting from square one like I am.

You guys remember when Apple didn't want to support adobe flash because it was pure rough ridin' garbage and now flash is dying a slow painful death because it is rough ridin' garbage and virusy?  lol man those android people were so stuck up about it and look at them now  :lol:

As long as they continue to include headphones that work with the phone I'm good with it. I don't buy headphones and don't plan on doing it.

Bluetooth is available now so I think they would be fine without the jack

that's crazy, I could never use apple-supplied earbuds. They're soooo terrible. But I'm guessing there are a lot of people like you out there.
