Android or iOS

just wondering which is your preferred mobile OS. I love Android because of widgets, free apps which cost on iOS, screen sizes which don't kill your eyes, and ease of transferring files to and from. Which is your preferred? I have an S3, looking to get an LG G3 the day it comes out.

 

Definitely Android for me and Nexus in particular. On a practical level I can swype faster on Android than I can type on a computer keyboard, let alone typing on a tiny iPhone screen. on a more philosophical level I generally prefer open source Linux based OS over closed ones like IOS.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
 

I think every mobile OS out right now sucks. I'm a huge tech nerd, and I wholeheartedly believe that the mobile software development industry is in stagnation; too many devs are living like it's 2010, whether they're trying to emulate Angry Birds or iOS 4 (Apple, Google, MSFT).

That said, iOS 4.0 was the last good mobile OS I used. I have an iPhone 5S right now with iOS 7, but it doesn't "feel" good the way past versions have. I'd use Android but that basically requires giving Google Minority-Report-style access to my life.

Get a phone that runs android without any real skin. Or no skin at all (Nexus 5). Fuck phone speed for a second (at these speeds it becomes rather irrelevant anyway), you'll notice you can do all your basic tasks much quicker because of how well designed the UI is.

 

Android. I don't use anything by Apple (iTunes, Quicktime, etc) so having an iPhone makes no sense. I would have to download a bunch of software I don't need or even like.

I enjoy being able to access the files in my phone directly and the customization that allows. It's far easier to customize Android (sans root) than it is iPhone (sans jailbreak). I don't feel like crazy tampering with my phone, but I do like to do it a bit. Android gives me that freedom.

Plus, the iPhone screen is so small. WTF. And the stupid animations give me a headache. IDK if there's a turn off function on the iPhone, but I can easily turn mine off on Android by accessing the dev options.
