I don't like comparisons, much less when they try to compare products that are as "personal" as an operating system. Because what is fantastic for one may be useless for another, and I believe that each user should choose the system that best suits what they need, and get the most out of it. Our colleagues from Androidsis, sister website of Actualidad iPhone but which deals with issues about Google's mobile operating system, they have published an article in which they compare iOS and Android, and explain why the latter is superior to Apple's.
It is for this reason that I have decided to write this article exposing the main differences for what Android against iOS comes out the winner and by a landslide.
Reading the article I couldn't help but think about the amount of misconceptions about iOS that are repeated too often. So you don't want to miss out on try to show how little iOS is known and how much is said about it and is false.
One of the main characteristics of that Android stand out about iOSIn my opinion, it is the possibility of installing third-party applications without having to do any kind of Jailbreak
No doubt the writer of the article misuses the expression "Third-party applications." Really will mean "third-party applications that are not in the official store". Ignoring this error, this statement is correct. In iOS you cannot install applications that are not in the App Store (officially, without jailbreak). The App Store hit one million apps last November. Although "unsuitable" applications occasionally sneak in, they are specific events, and quality is the norm, although among a million applications we will find some that are not worth it, it is logical. I could say that with that million applications what more is needed, but that would be false.
If we want to install applications that are not in that official store, it is true that it is necessary to Jailbreak. The same as to change the appearance of the terminal, another of the points in favor of Android according to the author of the article.
One of the things that I fell in love with the most was the possibility of changing its appearance without the need for knowledge of jailbreak or anything like that, which is not possible in the operating system of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for mobiles.
It is something that I find very curious, and that I read very often. It is always hinted that jailbreaking is something complicated and dangerous, when the reality is that it's as simple as plugging in your device and pressing a button on a computer application. Sometimes it has even been possible to do it from the device itself. And in the unlikely event that the process fails, the device is restored and tried again, without much trouble. However, those same who say this, assure shortly after that doing "Root" to their devices is something easy, that does not involve any risk.
Although there are exceptions, the most prominent and successful Android models are easy to get to. root and install the Modified recovery from which we will take full control of our device.
Despite my very limited knowledge of Android, I know enough to do not fall into the error of comparing Root with Jailbreak. I know perfectly well that they are not the same, but what you can not do is "demonize" one and praise the other, or talk about iOS always without Jailbreak and then talk about the virtues of Android with Root done. Either we equalize the conditions or we don't play.
And of course, iTunes “El Temido” had to arrive. Apple's multimedia management program is already covered in a thick layer of falsehoods that will hardly be able to be cleaned unless Apple makes a "clean slate." And the cliché that anyone who uses iOS must go through iTunes for everything is one of those falsehoods.
This is not the case in iOS, and is that to be able to do any type of management in the terminals of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), we will have to go through the ordeal that the initiation into iTunes, a somewhat complicated software for inexperienced people in user computing.
I repeat, and I will not tire of repeating it: False, absolutely false. To say that is to show that iOS has not been used for years, because if you want, you don't need to have iTunes at all on your computer. You can download applications without iTunes, you can make backup copies and upload them to iCloud, you can also download multimedia content (videos, music, movies ...), thanks to iCloud we can also synchronize documents between our devices and our computer, we can even update to the latest version available or restore our device to the factory state and recover the backup copy, and everything, absolutely everything without having to connect our iPhone or iPad to the computer to use iTunes.
Sure, many of you will think ... "And how do I put the movie that I downloaded from the internet without iTunes?" But we are not talking about hacking, at least I. What if we have a DVD movie and we want to transfer it to the iPhone? Well, as you will have to do on Android, you must first transfer it to your computer and then download it to your device, and you will not even have to put it in iTunes format because thanks to third-party applications, common formats can be played on our iOS device.
What to comment on Bluetooth de iOS?, a device to easily share files that is only valid for a few things on iOS, pass a photo, contact and little else.
The iOS Bluetooth is used to connect to the hands-free of our car, or to any hands-free of any kind, or to link with any speaker with this type of connection and enjoy our music, or to share the internet with other devices, or to connect a wireless keyboard ... It really is a fully functional Bluetooth, but it has limited file transfer, that's a real thing and we cannot deny. Many of you may see something fundamental in this file transfer function, but it is not my case. In iOS you can have fully functional Bluetooth, thanks to the Jailbreak and applications like Air Blue Sharing. I have the application on my device, before I had Celeste, and before iBlueNova, and they are the worst euros I have invested in my device, because except to do the tutorials I have never used them. Despite having the possibility, I always use other means such as WhatsApp, Line or I simply send it by email. But like I said before, it's a matter of taste.
As I said at the beginning, I don't want to convince anyone that iOS is better than Android, or vice versa. Each one to make their choice and enjoy it to the fullest. But that choice is knowing well what each platform offers, which is the best way to do things.
More information - Android vs iOS, why do I stick with Android?
How great. I, with experience in both operating systems, now I have iOS and I come from android, I stay with iOS a thousand times, come on, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT. First, and as you say, the issue of jailbreak and root is VERY different. I have been unable to do the ROOT, I see it too complex and complicated, while the JAILBREAK is to give a simple button on the computer and then on the mobile, and you can do it without any fear, because with any problem, no matter how small , you can always restore and ale, ready to try again. As for the Bluetooth issue ... I laugh, since NOBODY or ALMOST NOBODY uses 'that' now, since it is much easier to share files through whatsapp, line or email; but of course, the android will have to defend themselves with something…. Anyway, as I said at the beginning I prefer Apple and iOS.
mm .. what a potazo
I have to say that I come from iOS and now I am on android and in my opinion yes ... iOS is better but it is already somewhat boring to always be seeing the same springboard with apple limiting everything, also the old models leave them far behind ... right now I have a xperia z with jelly bean and it goes perfect, but before I have had an xperia type, a low-mid-range smartphone and it has l
Legacy to ICS one of the latest updates available, and with all the functionalities unlike iOS that although you can get to iOS7 with a 3GS they will always take the best from you, it is as if they only gave you the new wallpapers and menus, in terms of bluetooth, you're right no one uses it xD, and root there if you're wrong at least me, all my android, I just click on the PC application and on my android I touch »Restore data» I wait for the reboot and that's it, in past jailbreaks you had to put DFU and evasion mmm needless to say ... wait until the icon comes out anyway ... I'm not a fanboy, I said that iOS is more powerful but in my opinion it is lagging behind because it is so limited, I have to say that with a design change in iOS 7 will not achieve much ... Thanks for reading
I agree with you. iOS lacks a bit of freedom of use and that the user is responsible. I had the jailbreak with evasion and it is not the same anymore, cydia is also lagging behind in all this.
In my opinion, Android and iOS should be united and make a robust and free system (this free is half since I believe that the publication of applications should go through a filter not as hard as Apple but that many do not stop passing apps that work fatal on android).
For example, for the phone I like iOS more for its security and for the Tablet I prefer Android for its freedom of use.
Agree with you, my god !!! until I found someone who is not a fanboy
give him a son
The freedom that iOS lacks is not to protect the user from damaging the operating system, it is to protect the shareholder of the company from losing money for the freedom to buy where they want or install without permission, but here some users defend the company as if they were shareholders, they make you laugh.
Just the opposite happens to me, for the day to day I prefer android freedom, it is priceless to be able to do almost anything you can do with a laptop just when you need it, however on tablets I definitely prefer ios because its exclusive applications for tablets they give a thousand turns to those of the playstore and the use that I give to the tablet (comics, internet, mail movies) does not demand excesses of freedom that I can miss as if it happens to me with the mobile.
Leo: "the android will have to defend themselves with something ..." and apart from stopping reading, one wonders. Defend against what? Is it that this is a holy war in which one can only enjoy his device, whatever it is, putting the rival to broth?
I don't know, but I read these forums and those beyond and many times I wonder if technology is the new cradle of religious fanaticism, with the difference that the gods now have different names: Sony, Apple, Samsung, Htc etc….
I wonder what these greedy multinationals have given us to generate that level of fanaticism and loyalty.
ITunes? So if with itools I do almost everything and much easier not to mention being able to save files on my iPhone as if nothing else.
Recommended program for those who don't like iTunes
You are a fanboy. Of course you can do everything without iTunes and third-party programs, here we all know a lot about computers. I do not know your people with less computer knowledge, but I to my father, for example, I spend every two days explaining iTunes and how the file system works. He is used to putting his Android in and passing files to it like a USB stick and when he needs them on the iPad he doesn't even know where to start.
Particularly I have been 6-7 months with the iPhone 5 and it is A PUSSY to pass me the notes of the unit, directly STEP.
We all know that root is very easy, but let's not demagogue, the difficult thing is to know how to use cydia and install tweaks without busting the phone. Doing JB slows down the phone, uses more battery and is more unstable. Rooting and installing ROMs makes it faster and uses less battery. Not to mention that there is NO DIFFERENCE with customization (irony).
And let's go to more important questions. Multitasking, there is nothing worse than having lived with Android in which the applications worked in the background and having bought an iPhone 5 (big mistake). Nothing like receiving notifications from whatsapp, email, ... go read them and not have coverage, I LAUGH ON IOS. In the same way, try to send anything without coverage, I have spent 15 minutes lifting the mobile with my hand to be able to send it, nor can you imagine the comfort of Android to send it and ONLY when there is coverage it sends it.
I study computer science, I am a programmer, for both systems in fact and I have been approximately the same time (for 4 years or so) with both systems and I tell you that iOS HAS TO PLACE THE BATTERIES.
PS: Tired of so much faboy without knowledge.
My father uses iPhone and with a free Dropbox account he is delighted to carry his things with him without having to worry about passing things with a spike.
Regarding Fanboy, I refrain from commenting.
often billet that you just released us when «you were only passing by here» ... God save me from spending the dead hours in http://www.androidloqueseapuntocom...
Who said I was just passing by? As I have said I have an iPhone 5 and I am a regular reader of this page.
I think you must have made the wrong comment.
Who said I was just passing by? As I have said I have an iPhone 5 and I am a regular reader of this page.
I think you must have made the wrong comment.
«PS: Tired of so much faboy without knowledge»
Me too ... you have the solution dear Asier, in trying do, re or mi, always sustained eh !?
And more demagoguery. Sure enough, doing JB doesn't slow down anything, OBVIOUS. I think it had become clear that I was referring to installing tweaks (in fact I think I have said it) or is it that you just do JB? Just for the sake of having it.
No, I install it and install code modifications, tweaks that do not introduce processes and that do not slow down.
Buy the mobile you want, but do not disrespect the editors or the readers.
Yeah, and android doesn't slow down by itself, right? Take any android mobile, leave it to a person without knowledge, and in 1 year you tell me how it goes. Do the same with an iphone, and then we discuss performance. When you have tried it, tell me.
what bullshit you say. I think you should finish studying computer science before giving your opinion….
Sure!!!!!!!!!! 😀
True in everything Gonzalo !!!
And about these fools (hee) that don't belong on this page, couldn't you remove or delete them ???
I am with you regarding respect in the comments, but not in belonging to the page, everything is enriching if it is done with respect, or is it that you are a closed and exclusive club?

I've been on android for 3 months ... until a
Dia probe iOS. The fluidity of the applications and the performance is incredible. Android is very good, but a
Moment that the fluidity and performance is no longer the same .. And I have an s3.
Asier, does your father know how to configure android and he doesn't know how to drag files to itunes? ITunes can be handled by a 1-year-old monkey, and ios by a 3-month-old. Android needs to do any nonsense investigate and get into a thousand and one unclear and intuitive submenus, not to mention the poor quality of many of its apps, for example, that Facebook does not let you save photos on the reel or the memory of the device, sends nose…
As a professional user who is tired of handling hundreds of interfaces, operating systems, menus of all kinds, and I have tried all kinds of mobile phones, like iOS none. You may like it more or less, but if the vast majority want it and buy it, it is not because of fanboys as many say, it is because they want simplicity and ease in doing things, and that android does not offer today. There is a lot of geek about 4-core processors, zillion-inch screens, and other unnecessary things in a "mobile" terminal, all respectable, but if you want a smartphone for normal daily use (mail, surf, send messages, call , etc ...) none like an iphone. And they know that here and in popular China.
I'm with you. One of the great features of Apple is its ease of use. iTunes is very simple, it practically gives you everything done. The complicated jailbreak has nothing, it is a simple button, while doing root .. is scary. I prefer iTunes a thousand times over android and connect it to the computer and see a thousand folders in the SD. I come from android like you (Asier) and now I have an iPhone and I do not regret it at all, in what I agree is that in WhatsApp when coverage is lost you cannot give the send button, but I do not believe That it is Apple's fault, if not WhatsApp's fault… And I'm not a fanboy, I'm not even an expert, as you say or think you are (Asier). I'm only talking about my own EXPERIENCE.
Haver, it is not very difficult to root an android phone either, just search for "root guide telefonoX" and you will find a detailed guide, and having done it once, you don't need to look at a guide again. Rather I think that, reading your first comment and this one, you seem a bit denied for the computer science. logical that you use ios
iTunes is simple for users initiated in computer science at the user level, but as it is well commented in another comment, explain it to an older person or with less knowledge and you will see with the problems that are found.
iTunes !!! Hehehehe. Android would like to have an application half as good as iTunes. Maybe Kies is more good !!!
I am not saying that it is bad, on the contrary to me it seems very good but it is more comfortable to drag and drop as in Andtoid.
As for Kies, I agree that he is crap.

The reel? The one in which I have 982384923 photos because the super iOS system does not let you save them by albums. And I say save them, not make a copy and keep keeping it on the reel without being able to erase it (because both are erased).
On Android, YOU will not know how to download photos, I have done it a thousand times.
And if it is so intuitive, why every time I want to download PDFs from the university website, I pass Cain's?
And yes, my father every time I have to explain to him that to pass a folder of photos he has to use iTunes and synchronize (which according to you is now easier than copying and pasting) I have to explain it to him, maybe your father has one engineering, mine is more limited.
PS: Can you with iOS go to a page, download a movie / song and see / hear it? (Now someone will say why if we are against piracy)
Can't make albums and move photos? I do ... sure you have an iPhone?
I can go to iTunes and watch a streaming movie, yes. And the same with other pages and services.
So you show me that you praise iOS just because (or because of the apple that you like so much), because you don't even know how it works. Try creating an album, putting a photo from the roll in it, and then deleting it from the roll. Voilà, you have disappeared from the album too.
And what is the problem?
Tell me that I don't know how iOS works ...
Overwhelmingly? A if 70% of Android world share. I'm going to open your eyes freedom commands.
As it has been simple, I lent my Android to children and they move it a 9-year-old girl was an expert. Android is easier than PC, it is difficult for zombie 🙂
I've been running Android my whole life and switching to the iPhone is one of the best things I've ever done. An Andoid quickly runs out of RAM even if it is high-end and applications crash. The mail push usually fails a lot. With iOS, you open emails earlier than on your computer. Shall we talk about aesthetic issues? Just the feel of having an iPhone and not a piece of plastic says a lot. The thing about passing things through iTunes and such ... Well, it is to do it 2 times and you already have it mechanized, it is not so bad. The root in Android is to sweat a lot I do not even consider doing something like that on my iPhone, I have everything I need.
I am a user of both iOS and
Android as well as a programmer on both systems and the first thing to do
It should be noted that for android there are currently like 17 or 18 versions of the operating system, which makes it difficult
programming to be compatible with most different
systems. Likewise with each version some little thing changes us and stops
work things out.
As a programmer having to perform
applications in this environment is an ordeal since when you must suspend the application
it does not suspend it and when the system closes it due to lack of memory it tries it
reopen at the same point where I left it but without data recovery
what had to be programmed so that if in a certain case it closes
having to tell the app to start over at the beginning.
It must also be said that he has his things
good although you have to be a super expert to control the
application and let alone your sdk because it requires a super powerful computer to be able to run the applications
in simulators with some ease and speed.
In iOS the programming is much cleaner
and the most important thing that what you are told to do is what you do with
making it very easy to carry out the applications as well as being reliable.
There are also many fewer versions of operating systems and they also tend to
be compatible. Also comment that the
sdk for me is a gem since it is very fluid and fast both the editor and the
emulators.
I stay with iOS before Android
although it must be recognized that the terminals of these are also amazing.
I'm sorry against telling you. Focus on Android, learn more and you will see how what you comment is due to ignorance and wrong doing.
Total fanboyada of someone resentful after reading the other article… And then here I read every BURRADA on android… I have iPhone 5 and S3, and to me the S3 has NEVER been blocked, ran out of ram..etc
unable to root and if jailbreak ... when both are done through a program and a button ... Check the forums and you will see more than one and more than 2 that after the jailbreak they are not able to restore with itunes and have the terminal brikeado, I with the last jailbreak I had to do it 8 times because after a while my iphone would restart, I even had to lose information from the iTunes backup for the jailbreak to work for me, and like my MANY PEOPLE.
Unfortunately 90% of apple fanboys are very ignorant and speak without having a f ** k on what they are saying. Then we complain that they are called fanboys and they mess with them….
I would take you to the town square and give you what was yours ...
Bad bad bad, very bad, I see this post more as someone who is on fire than someone who is grounded, I will give my point of view about it trying to be as neutral as possible, and as an experience that right now I am an owner of a iOS and an Android at the same time.
Point 1.- «Third party applications»
I think that all of us here have the notion of knowing what they mean, but not to misinform, I did a quick search in google regarding the term, noticing something curious, all of them point towards my definition; "They are applications that are not strictly linked or that are related to the intermediary of the platform itself" Applying this concept to Apple in its Apple App Store, the apps that reside here have a contract with Apple which requires them to apply their rules and conditions, this makes them secondary.
On the other hand, on Android things are different, it is not necessary to have root or make some strange modification to your device to be able to install apps outside of their sales platform, you can go to a page of a developer and from there install their apps, even download the ".apk" files from the browser itself and install them. And yes, without having to have an account, sign a contract or accept terms of use.
Point 2.- «Change the appearance of the terminal»
Wow wow wow, not in such a hurry, are we talking about changing the look or releasing the machine? because in any case, I have for both issues, but since we are talking about changing the appearance of the terminal, let's go to it first,
Can it be done on iOS? Someone tell me why I could not (Assuming I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3), the only thing I can do is change whites to blacks throughout the device to use it at night (Which I can not consider as «change aspect to the terminal »for being a function) On the other hand in android, what can I tell you? In the Google Play Store you can find the famous launchers, apps that change the fonts and many other aspects, that modify endless things, apart from the fact that in the same settings section that comes from the factory you can change the aspect, as for example let's see, the keyboard! (Fundamental part of an operating system, more if it is touch)
Point 3.- «Release the machine»
Now if we go to this point, but my answer will be short because in your same comment I see that you admit that both for iOS and Android the matter goes where it is, they are different things and that in both cases, making use of this is necessary to have Some minimal knowledge of what is being done to the device, in iOS sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is difficult, it all depends on the scene and in which version you want to apply it, for example right now, for example, if I have my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.3 I won't be able to until further notice. In Android, the difficulty of achieving this varies a lot, depending on the manufacturer, but usually it is also easy and in this it does not matter which version it is in, because once it can be rooted, it will last that way even by installing the newest version, and sometimes even to Root certain devices you can download an app from the same Google Play Store that roots it for you (Not to mention that there are even apps that download cooked Rooms for you and install them right there without needing a PC in between), tsssss Advantages? , Root? Jailbreak? Let's talk about it if you like and when you like.
Point 4.- «iTunes in between and… (Synchronization)»
Like the two previous points, we are talking about managing the interface to manage the content of my device or synchronization, if both, I go for the first one.
iTunes, that application that is essential in OSX and that is hell on windows (Non-neutral comment, personal and under my own experience) To transfer files to a totally new device, the most fashionable and super cool, I have to go back in time like when I needed a program to pass ringtones, games and photos to my sony ericsson t226, honestly, isn't it easier to open a file explorer window, go to a path where you have your contents, and pass it from your computer which memory USB was? Of course, when using iTunes as an intermediate, many will prefer this one for personal reasons, others will not. But the con of using it and in which I have been affected countless times, is that I have to KEEP my music, images, apps, videos, podcast, books, etc. on my computer if I want to keep having them on my device, or at least have to put them in my library to be able to pass them on and to delete them having to carry out a whole odyssey, I know there is an option called "organize content manually" within the same iTunes, but we continue with the same, HAVE TO USE ITUNES.
Android, life is simple, out of complications, you connect your device to any computer and it does not have the limitation and restriction of being able to put whatever I want on the computer I want (Another bad point of iTunes, can you on iOS?) , your device is like one more folder on your computer and voila.
Third-party programs without using iTunes? Let's see. Do I really have to have the need? I mean, to do this, and as an example of what I just said, I have to carry that iTunesTool everywhere on a USB to be able to put any content into it from any pc, is it really necessary to have to do that just because Apple forces you to use your iTunes? no, yes ...
Synchronization, here is more things of preferences, some are happy with iCloud, others with Google Drive, but let me quote you; «You can download applications without iTunes, you can make backup copies and upload them to iCloud, you can also download multimedia content (videos, music, movies ...), thanks to iCloud we can also synchronize documents between our devices and our computer» using third-party programs to not use iTunes I already explained it to you, making backup copies, this in favor of android, for the simple fact that I do not have to make a backup, it is only being done instantly that you are Using it, I changed from an LG Optimus to a Nexus 4, and it was enough for me to log in with google when I turned on my Android for the first time to realize that I had exactly everything and as I had it in my previous terminal, contacts, apps, photos, settings of apps, widgets, notifications, etc. About downloading content, such as videos, music, movies ... What do you think? On Android you can also, and without going through the box as with iTunes or iCloud, come on, even from the same browser you can. And since if you talk about iCloud as a content store, let's say Google Drive goes one step ahead, in docs I can edit a document in real time while it is reflected on my computer. And the last thing you say about "We can even update to the latest version available or restore our device to the factory state and recover the backup, and everything, absolutely everything without having to connect our iPhone or iPad to the computer to use iTunes." I see that you are the one who has left to say that is to show that iOS has not been used for years, sorry! ANDROID, all that can be done and more from before on an android, I think that on iOS you could start from iOS5 or something like that, right? I do not remember well, on Android since its inception.
Point 5.- «Bluetooth and ways of transferring files between terminals»
You admitted it and it's fine, the iOS bluetooth is enabled, but it is necessary to have a Jailbreak (which I cannot on my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3) to be able to use it, ah, and where you can because they have the luck of having yours with Jailbreak (Yes, luck is needed for many factors) How luxurious is it to receive songs from a Nokia, receive videos and Tones?
And well, if to transfer files between devices with intermediate apps like the ones you mention, very good for those apps, since Apple does not do its job and as always, they have to depend on third parties for that, but I remind you, although you can On iOS, Android continues to win by a landslide, since even apps can be passed, launchers, live wallpapers or how much marijuana they want (Without mentioning that the apps can coexist with each other and pass the files between themselves and manipulate them at will )
Well, I think that this is where my answer comes, I am really a bit tired since in Mexico I am getting up early and I have to go to sleep, I hope my comment is published and is taken into account as I said at the beginning, and of course you are not You are trying to convince anyone, iOS and Android are supposed to speak for themselves, and here they will see positive and negative comments, plenty of defenders and offenders, everything remains personal and that rivalry also serves to highlight strengths between each of the systems, for those who are misinformed, inform yourself.
Tremendous response friend, more fundamentals impossible.
Surely they do not talk about the EFFICIENCY that IOS has compared to ANDROID eh? Those things are saved. You will be ashamed to say that an iPhone5 with 2 cores + IOS flows faster applications than an Xperia Z + Android 4.1, right ?? That in Benchmark iPhone5 took out 1700 (2 cores) and XperiaZ 1900 (4 cores). Gentlemen of android I will tell you only one thing .. So true is the uselessness of our Bluetooth as that Android will NEVER be faster than IOS. Android will always be a rough operating system, slow, not very efficient and to which you have to put large doses of RAM, MHz simply to flow normally. What is more beautiful? Voucher. But that is solved when we do the JailBreak and do with our iPhone what comes out of "there" basically. We'll see what happens when IOS7 is released this year, it will be time to shut up some mouths in design. As I have always said, iPhone-IOS is not made for everyone. I have not seen any little ones with him yet. Everyone has Android since QUALITY is PAID.
Regards!
What bothers me the most is that fanboys like you come to insult android when this website is for reading and giving opinions, do you say that iOS and iDevice are quality? even the Chinese manufacturers of android ... they are equal in quality and much cheaper, apple trusts that it is a prestigious company and that is why they do it also iOS is efficient ???? What about the bug that came from the first version of iOS that allowed to pretend to be someone else in the SMS? an operating system, intuitive, easy to use ... Not very efficient ... lack of design that I doubt that in iOS 7 is something big, also tell me if Apple is so big why they have released the iPad Mini, and what is coming ... iPhone low cost , a Phablet ... apple is left behind and they are humiliating themselves since taking out such devices was never in mind when it was »the big apple«
I quote by changing two words, so you can see that you are talking to yourself «what bothers me the most is that fandroids like you come to insult iOS when this website is to read and comment ...»
You can see your duster!
Really, you will seldom see me insult Android, I have no need, I buy what I want because I want to, and I don't have to convince anyone of anything, I don't understand how some of you feel you have to teach us something…
I do not try to teach anything to anyone, I only give my opinion because if for you iOS is so perfect ... why is it full of bugs and errors? also according to the quality, a 4S € 500? pfff with that I buy 2 android of better power, I am not a »fandroid» only if you defend both iOS when we want to make a fair debate and opinion, we will defend android, and I have already said I use iOS since 3.1.3 up to 6.1 and it was the same as always but, of course! it's apple! everything is better when they make it!
Hehehehe iOS full of bugs ?? You are sure of what you say or speak from ignorance, a place from which the uneducated speak.
EVERY operating system has Bugs, EVERYONE. There is no perfect 100% bug-free operating system ...
Starting from this, it would be necessary to see which operating system has the most serious bugs ... and believe me that iOS is not the one that loses ...
Search about the bug in the S3, which could delete its content remotely ... for example ...
... or the "hole" in the battery, which they try so hard to fix in cooked roms ...
Battery hole? Are you familiar with 3 iOS updates to try to fix it? : 3 haha, every operating system has its bugs, but the iOS ones are quite remarkable
3 updates to fix it ?? Where?? When?? Hahahaha the battery of my iPhone5 has lasted EXACTLY the same in 6.0.1 and 6.1.2 so stop fooling around and buy yourself an LG that they say lasts 4 days xD!
Well that with € 500 you buy 2 androids of better power you have to see it hahahahaha! I remind you that the S3 is worth € 400 and goes inside the iPhone5 at xD speed! So you better save and buy an S4 although I warn you that the next iPhone will give you for your hair.
FanBoy ?? Hahahahahaha rather realistic! Or is it that something of what I have said is a lie? If I were a fanboy (which you are with android) I would not admit the uselessness of iOS bluetooth, don't you think? If you want facts go to YouTube and watch all the videos that are comparing terminals and you will leave doubts. I have been on android for many years and the speed and efficiency that iOS offers me was not offered by Android. It is true that the security issue can be improved but no OS is perfect. They all have their flaws. Nor is it said absolutely nothing that IOS and iPhone is like a Penis and a Man (It all comes from home) not like Android that there are many versions and you have to adapt them to the relevant devices. Everything has its PROS AND CONS but today IOS is the fastest operating system in the world and there is no doubt that it will improve.
Please! I do not believe that you are comparing an Xperia Z with an iPhone 5. To begin with, I am quite sure that in most of the benchmarks the Xperia comes out as the winner, but ... why lament them! And if you define me that the iPhone is customizable with the Jailbreak, that is when we would have to buy a jailbroken iPhone against an Android with Jelly Bean (if you have not understood, Android does not need to modify software to be customizable)
PS: Seriously, I was an apple fanboy for many years, but when Apple released the iPhone 5, it was already clear that its role in the world of technology has to change or end. So now I have an S3 and the truth is that I am much happier than when I had the iPhone
the same I say! I was a fanboy from firmware 3 to 6.1 but the truth is that the iPhone 5 is disappointing… what happened to Apple's innovation? Copy the 4 inch screen to try to catch up with samsung? change the terminal layout? and as for software and iOS 6 it should not be called 6 as BigBoss said it should have been called 5.2 or 5.1.2
So has Samsung now from S3 to S4 enlarge the screen! The rest is totally the same .. of that you do not speak?
If it is true that Samsung has enlarged the screen, but because it is following its trade route. But appel has only released the 4-inch iPhone because the drop in sales was already excessive.
I already know that I am not a great developer nor do I pretend to.
I know from experience that Android is very flexible but its management, no matter how much you defend it, is still light years away from iOS. You only have to remember certain issues such as the bulbs using the tabs and webview and thus hundreds of failures and I am not referring to failures of the novice programmer but also of the expert and if you are an Android programmer you will have suffered it and you will continue to suffer it.
In iOS you are somewhat more tied but it is also very flexible and best of all, all design architectures work perfectly, whatever you use, everything works well.
Adapting the applications to the screens is normal that they have to adapt although they have always worked in compatibility mode. Of course, that does not happen in Android since everything is one and if you want to have different designs for different screens or devices you have to do it practically with a pedal, which in ios does not happen since you can design the screens in a more intuitive and more agile way .
and I keep telling you that I am not an expert I consider myself more of a novice but it helps much more to program ios than android and I believe that the vast majority who say that they are an expert in Android is a lie and they are amateurs who have applications on android because it is free and to try anything goes since it does not go through any filter.
Programming an app for Android and uploading it to the play store requires a single payment of 25 Euros, free what is said free is not. Another thing like the Play store ... what chaos! just look at what one or the other sells ... the play store is a disaster.
I quite agree with what you say. But despite the fact that lately I have clarified myself with iTunes, I have been using the iPhone since 2008 and there is no program that has been worse than iTunes. It was difficult for me to find out about the library management, synchronization with the content device and other performances of the program. And I know that I am not the only one.
That we have improved, yes: as you say now we do not need iTunes for almost anything 😉
The Sinde left you fried neurons: «'And how do I put the movie that I downloaded from the internet without iTunes?' But we are not talking about hacking, at least I am. "
That is not hacking.
Maybe that's your problem, do you see someone who is an expert and you already call him a fan because you don't like what he says. I was taught as a child to read / listen to those who know.
As I have said before, I am also a programmer, I have been using Android for 3-4 years and nobody forced me to buy an iPhone 5 (I did it the same day it came out because I am not a fan and I experiment by myself), and now I objectively I feel "caked." But of course, as I am a programmer, I am already making it up and I want to discredit the iPhone, I totally spent € 670 just to criticize.
PS: Atarrabi makes me happy to see people who speak from experience among so many fanboy.
mmm look at the comparison of both is very great, I had an iphone 3gs then a 4s and I could Jailbreak them since I understood the matter well, but I got bored with their monotonous and limited system, using that damn itunes to put a song is horrible.no I could listen to the radio or send an image, something that is basic today. Even with Jailbreak I was still limited, since not all cydia steaks work well. From so much I bought a galaxy s2, which completely changed a free system, without ties and the concepts of android is better than ios in me is totally true, and that they say that the android locks and ios does not, that is a Myth because my galaxy s2 never locks almoenos that it is an unsupported app (which in ios just happened to me) so nothing from another world.
Thanks for being so clear with all the concepts and taking for granted that there are many things that are said about iOS that are not true ………. My favorite is iOS. !!!!!
I have never wanted to say that it is dangerous or complicated to Jailbreak iOS, the only thing I have said is that to change the appearance of Android it is not necessary to perform any of these processes, just downloading a Launcher is enough.
I have never compared root with Jailbreak and all the content of my article is oriented to terminals without root or Jailbreak, a simple comparison outright.
As for the Bluetooth thing, I don't think I have exaggerated anything I have said either.
Anyway and for what we have to do, I think that each one will defend their own, although I would ask you to mess around with a decent terminal with Android and then comment on your impressions.
Greetings.
I am also or was a user of both systems, I had an iPhone 4, and the truth was I loved everything, because it made my life easier, I use the phone for business, I manage 5 different email accounts, remote support etc, well I could do all of that. to do with my iPhone without turning on my lap, what to say, iPhone is really good, I tune it to my liking, Tweaks by cydia, be aware of the new Tweaks and updates through these means such as Feeds, I got into it, I wanted to get into it So much so that I wanted to make an App for iOS and adapt it to my need and then be able to sell it in the App Store, but the limitation, you have to have MAC to program apps for iPhone, I tried VMWare with a Hackintosh in a Virtual one but I don't know why I could never start the system hehe, the thing is that that was a limitation for me, but I still did not need it so much since iOS, tweaks and third-party Apps allowed you to work more easily on your iPhone, I no longer remember how long I used it , I think about 2 years or a year and a half , but I do get used to it a lot.
To what I'm going, even having a high-end terminal, I saw how the competition was overshadowing it, and until one day I thought, you have to try an Android, and of course here it comes to be able to compare an iPhone iOS with Android, and it is The terminal that we choose, as it had a high-end iPhone 4, it was logical that in order to change or try another terminal from another system, it had to be up to that, and as one realizes, first the price, then the amount of There are recommendations or comparisons on the internet, that's how I base myself, I declined for a Samsun Galaxy SIII, and what to say, at first the migration was difficult since I did not know anything about Android or how to rotate, since when an email arrived , I had to answer it with my iPhone, but things changed when little by little I was seeing the benefits of the phone and its Android system, and here everyone has their own tastes, and when I discovered the phone and its system, I saw my iPhone and ps I told him that it was time to leave Hehe, in the end, I realized that this phone (I don't know if everyone in the high-end Android has it) already had built-in functions or factory utilities that had to have Jailbreack and several Tweaks made in the iPhone to be able to work easily .
What I liked about Android is the mentality of a group of developers where it does not depend on one, but is free code and one can do whatever with the system, and of course that leads to somewhat unstable ROMs, and some bugs , but that is not a problem for me, because I can try changing ROMs, and my data, apps and others, they restore themselves, I also liked this system, on the other hand, on iPhone when I had to Restore, I had to start from scratch, Restore, Jailbreak, add repos, look for the Tweaks that you had installed or well if you had made a backup of the repos and the Tweaks with an App of the same Cydia it was easier but still you had to go through Cydia and the Jailbreak to be able to return to your previous state (you can also openSSH via terminal from the PC, but still had to install the tweaks one by one).
In the end, the truth to those who read this, the taste is of each one but this type of comments is good since I still base myself a lot to buy an iPhone, and in the same way I base myself on many pages to buy an Android, like this I have tried both and I am not against either of the 2, only that I commented on the experience of both systems, and ending that all my relatives have iPhone, from the iPhone 3gs to the 5 and an iPad mini, but when I bought my Galaxy SIII, the truth is that they were left half as they saw how the iPhone already has competition and if it does not hurry to innovate it will surely exceed it, I am aware of iOS 7 because as I say, I work on that, to apply Jailbreak and tweaks to the iPhones around here in my Big Town as they say, and here the Bluetooth is necessary, and on that subject they also already commented on it, ending, everyone has tastes, and the reasons why I had to sell my iPhone 4 when I had the galaxy, I just didn't use it and also the Galaxy SIII phone functions, I loved how to take Photos when Video is being recorded, pause, be able to record phone calls (sometimes this is necessary to use it for tests (on iPhone I looked for a tweak or app, but I did not find one or there was one but You had to pay per call)), Play Videos in a pop-up window throughout the phone, that you can see your mail or some other task and there will always be a small window of your video in playback, very useful for me when I need to do another task Without losing sight of the video clip, also the new Multi-Window Option (only compatible with apps that have integrated this function) this serves, for example, to divide the screen for 2 apps at the same time, half screen for Facebook and the other to create emails, both at the same time. open, I can tell a little more but those are the advantages that I found, there will always be disadvantages between the two but in my experience they are not necessary. As Android is open and anyone can program (that also leads to creating unnecessary apps, and that is in all Stores), I was able to create an app for my needs and with that to be able to sell it in case someone serves them in the Pla Store.
If someone wants to buy an iPhone, I recommend an iPhone 4, since the 4s and 5 do not have great news and it is not worth investing many more dollars for almost nothing new, or waiting for the iPhone 5s and thus see what news bring, to make it worth the investment, many of my relatives were disappointed with their iPhone 5, since it is equal to a 4 speaking of functionalities, so they can buy an iPhone 4 or wait for the iPhone 5s that rumors will give it to meet in July or August but I think it will be out until November or December in stores.
If you want to buy an Android phone, I recommend the high-end so that later you do not say that this or that is missing, the brands ... HTC One, Nexus or a Galaxy S4.
Anyone who understands a little about objetive-c and Android (Java in syntax) who has programmed the same applications for Android and for iOS who has a level to talk about platforms will tell you without a doubt that iOS is a delight, it is a pleasure to make applications and in android ... what to say you can do everything well but it costs, it costs much more everything is upside down in Android. For me the most impressive of all this is that when you touch the screen of the iPhone with your finger, everything stops internally in iOS saying EH! that have touched me! your finger at that time is the center of the universe and the most important thing for the operating system, in Android that does not happen when you touch it has to go a long way (hence that paroncito sometimes) until it does the same EH! that they have touched me !, and that cannot be fixed, just by writing the Android operating system again.
Not to mention Samsung and its mania with touching the Android kernel….
I'm with you. This is also what makes one operating system better than another.
I had both ios and android, but now if you understand it, iphone 5 two cores, s3, s4, z, one ... 4 cores, games experience clearly loads the games much earlier, the iphone is for whatever reason I load it before, the fluidity that an iphone 5 gives in games is now being seen with the android mobiles type z, one, s4, much better photo camera that of the iphone5 you can search on any side that is at the height of the one, z , even the s4 is worse in the analyzes,
system reliability, clearly it is more reliable and the ios fails less than android .. (already but eske ios you can not do almost anything or widgets or put the time on the desktop or anything) of course, but those are independent of each system and what I let or not do, that it is worth putting a thousand widgets on the desktop, if then when doing something it slows down due to those thousand widgets.
RMA not to mention that the best is apple but with differences. I think that there are no doubts.
and you just have to see that no system is perfect but gentlemen, a closed system IS ALWAYS GOING TO BENEFIT IN PERFORMANCE, ALWAYS DESPITE THE ONE WHO WEIGH.
OTHERWISE…. BECAUSE TO DO EXACTLY THE SAME, IPHONE5 HAS 2 CORES AND ANDROID 4 AND EVEN LOSES ANDROID MANY TIMES, GENTLEMEN THE POWER (NUCLEOS, GHZ RAM) WITHOUT CONTROL (GOOD OPERATING SYSTEM) DOES NOT USE ANYTHING.
I still use ios also I have the iphone 5 and we must all tell the truth it is lagging behind and between iphone and iphone there are no big differences.
Friend, do not be Squirrel and you already overcome that Android is more open than iOS, your arguments do not have much validity and you are based on things that not every user does, for example, not all devices have Jailbreak in iOS 6.1.3, and those that they have is thetered, I don't think everyone knows how to do these procedures and then even a restoration becomes tedious, I say it because I have done it hundreds of times; On Android you don't need root to do many things that you don't on iOS.
Honestly, I would NOT return to iPhone since with my Nexus 4 I am more than satisfied (I look forward to the 5), for these on the subject of iOS an ipod touch is enough for me.
By the way, those who talk about their iPhone 5 with two cores and put Android as a beast in Hardware, read a little about the GPU and architecture so that they do not speak for talking, which confuse users who are not very related in themes of this style.
Lots of morons !!! Maybe they gain something by convincing the other that what you use is better than anything else ... Only BB10 and WP8 users are missing, and this circus is completed with an overpopulation of clowns !.
If you want to transfer things you can also use the multiple file applications in the cloud like Box, Dropbox or also use Bump, you crash the iPhones together and that's it. ^ 3 ^
To transfer files between iOS devices you can also use services like Dropbox or Box, or also by Bump, crashing the devices.
Honestly, as a happy owner of an Iphone 5 and a Note 2 I have to say that Ios have unfortunately lagged behind.
Until three days ago, the enormous difference in fluidity of any iPhone with the high-end android terminals and an application store much higher in quality and quantity such as the appstore made the bland / simplistic interface and the limitations of IOS deserve the pain. I have had all the Iphone and as I like to try towards the change and I always ended up coming back. Android did not have in my opinion and it will tell me what the fanboy on duty told me about a good user experience, slow, clumsy, conatantes FC, the applications were mostly crappy, without games.
But nothing in life remains the same and while Apple has rested on its laurels and practically nothing has evolved a system, everything must be said it always worked and works perfectly, since its birth in 2007, Android has evolved a lot, winning maturity, fluidity and stability to such an extent that between my note 2 and my 5 I do not notice any difference in fluidity: NONE. If to that we add that the play store already has level applications in quantity and quality similar to the appstore (except in games where it is still the king) the result is clear: all things being equal, the lack of Android limitations makes the difference always offering in my opinion a superior user experience.
Even so, one continues reading: I was on android and it has nothing to do with it ... and wonders if people do not understand that things change and that although what you exposed a few months ago could be true, now it does not necessarily have to be .
Let's hope that Apple rectifies course and begins to understand that in the middle of 2013 a smartphone cannot have the limitations that ios has today, those limitations that make many people with criteria and personality (among which Woz himself can be included) understand that it has been left, not as many say (in my opinion wrongly): obsolete, but something behind.
All the best
Jsilbreak is not approved by apple we fall into illegality. On the other hand, on Android I like an application from a friend and he gives me the apk via bluetooth (die of envy, android is more social).
For those who comment that ios is fast because my Android is faster than my PC (nexus 4). ios is quick to do what, nothing? Speed for a limited system, woow
I have gone from iPhone to Android, and I am very happy in general with the change, but it is true that Jailbreak is a moment while root is much more complicated. And whoever says otherwise is either a liar or an ignorant who speaks without knowing.
It all depends on the Android terminal you have, for example root a Nexus or a Galaxy is quite simple.
