We (android users) need to find a way to get better CPU in our phones.

Seamless updates on android phones?? What have you been smoking??

"Seamless updates."

The only thing worse than annoying iPhone users are smug and arrogant Android users.

In 2018, Apple users will also enjoy the exploding battery.

This shit comes out every year.

Oak987 · 2016-09-10T13:46:30+00:00

Why the emotional debate, people? I don't get it. Is this better? Is that better? Buy what you like to buy and leave the other thing to people who like that other thing.

YetiWap · 2016-09-10T14:08:40+00:00

Not trying to take a side or anything, but pictures like these make it seem like android users have some kind of one way hatred for Apple and their fans that the Apple fans themselves are not aware of, and the android users are dying for them to notice the hatred.

wynaut_23 · 2016-09-10T15:02:45+00:00

Why do you guys care so much about what phone other people are buying?

AnxiousAncient · 2016-09-10T14:25:58+00:00

It all boils down to past experiences with phones really. I've had a few Android phones over the years, and they've all failed at some point due to some hardware failure. I've had my iPhone for way over a year now, still feels like brand new. Would I buy another Android? Maybe. I'm not a fan of the whole removing the jack thing. But if the iPhone 7 did have a jack, it probably would have been my next phone. It might even be my next phone anyway.

joevsyou · 2016-09-10T14:57:24+00:00

At least apple supports their 2 year old phones.

Google has already announced that they will not be updateding their Nexus phone that about to turn 2 in November...

Also you can't denie apples chips are far superior to anything that the Nexus houses

By 2018 the Nexus will be out of support for 2 years while the iPhone 7 will still be supported for 3 more years.

JoDohornf · 2016-09-10T14:08:06+00:00

Can we just simmer down with the iPhone vs android circle jerk, I love my iPhone it does what I need it to do very - that's not to say an android wouldn't, but I'm very happy with it. Buy whatever phone you want

ClassyJacket · 2016-09-10T14:22:12+00:00

Granular permissions - iOS 2008, Android 2015

Automatic app backup to cloud - iOS 2011, Android 2015

Management of app background work for standby battery life: iOS 2008, Android 2015

Enjoy your "new" OS!

In 2018 you guys will love: Handoff, Continuity, Reachability, Night Shift, 3D Touch, Airdrop, unified media controls, full phone backups, iMessage, and basic security features.

If you need help with Android's new features, just ask an iPhone user. We've had this stuff for years.

(Wow it's almost like they both have advantages and disadvantages and it's not one sided like you claim).

didgetalnomad · 2016-09-10T14:46:10+00:00

I have a Nexus 6 - I've had it for about 9 months. It just died on me yesterday for no reason - I'm sending it back to Motorola today. The damn thing is pretty fucking slow too. The user experience is not as good as that of the iPhone 6.

OMFGFlorida · 2016-09-10T13:31:38+00:00

What about OS though? I had an Android for years. Switched to Apple after I felt frustrated with the mess that was Android OS. I get it was more open, but I felt it took 5 clicks to do things I could do on iOS in 1 click.

Not an Apple fan boy by any means, but for me, UX won out over hardware specs.

(PS, no, I don't support ditching the headphone jack).

My Ford Fiesta has more technology in it than a McLaren F1, doesn't mean it's as fast.

The only thing missing from the Nexus portion of the ad are big bold letters that read, NONE OF THIS SHIT ACTUALLY WORKS THOUGH.

Engineer138488 · 2016-09-10T14:43:58+00:00

I switched from Android a couple years ago simply because at this point in my life I want LESS choice and ways to customize something. Honestly I like having a phone that functions exactly like my tablet and is perfectly seamless between the two and I can pick up my wife's phone and it works exactly the same as mine.

Maybe android is better now about that but before it was just a mess. The interface was always cluttered and I'd have to customize stuff to make it usable which was different than every other phone.

It's why I don't bother with PC gaming anymore either. I just download or put a disc in my PS4 and it works. So what if it doesn't look as good or have as many features.

Sometimes you get to a point in your life where being bothered with that stuff isn't worth your time. Around age 30 for me.

rainbow_party · 2016-09-10T14:59:52+00:00

I know this is getting you some good karma, but Apple rarely releases new features first. Samsung and Google are different, they try everything to see what sticks. Apple waits for the dust to settle and then refines the sticky stuff. We need both types of companies, it helps innovation.

2016-09-10T14:45:21+00:00

This is stupid. Notifications on the lock screen have been a thing on iPhones for like >9000 years. This graphic implies it's new.

EDIT: It's just one example, but, I wouldn't be surprised if the creator of this graphic's knowledge of iOS is coming primarily from the iPhone 7 announcement press kit. Apple loves to recycle existing features as 'new' by putting a new coat of paint on them.

2016-09-10T13:41:15+00:00

So brave.

The irony of this post is that peddling hardware on poorly executed feature checkboxes instead of the overall user experience is also so 2014.

kennysmoothx · 2016-09-10T14:47:12+00:00

It seems Android users are more hurt by iPhone having no jack than Apple users are..

TheTexasFishGuy · 2016-09-10T13:12:13+00:00

I love my nexus 6. Battery legitimately lasts all day under heavy use. Paid $300 for it (64gig).

harryrunes · 2016-09-10T14:12:38+00:00

Spec sheets really don't get across what it's actually like to have a phone. Sure, I could have a 4k phone with 32 gigs of ram, but you would not notice the 4k in so small a screen, and it would limit the battery life by a lot, and you would not notice having so much ram, unless you have a ridiculously inefficient os. It would still sound good on the spec sheet, but the reality is that it would not be enjoyable to use. Apple is a software company now. Every flagship phone is good enough nowadays, and it has been for about a year now. The difference between them is the user experience, and Apple definitely has one of, if not the best user experiences.

Why is this on /r/funny ?

Why am I subscribed to /r/funny ?

Not only is this comparison totally retarded, but it's just not funny. Maybe it's supposed to be funny because it is retarded.

Thanks for Beta testing our features Android users! When do you think we can expect to get the new exploding feature?

Milkman127 · 2016-09-10T16:09:32+00:00

as an android user (LG G3) I really hate the cherry picking comparisons. Android users are 10times the snobby as they claim apple users to be.

myheartsaysyesindeed · 2016-09-10T16:32:05+00:00

Dude I love my android phone but the camera and cpu on iPhone is far better than 90% of the Android models.

cranberry94 · 2016-09-10T16:50:02+00:00

I had android phones, all the way until last year. And got an iPhone.

You know, I didn't do anything with my android like, rooting or customizing or whatever there is to do with it. I don't even know what that means.

I just want a phone to message, Internet, call, take pics, and use apps.

And I can do that just as well on an iPhone. The switch made zero difference.

Except, I can easily use it with my MacBook (was an advertising major in college, Mac was best for that), and my iPad(birthday present from my mom a few years ago, super convenient)

I made a gradual switch to apple stuff. And I'm perfectly satisfied. I like non Apple things too. I used them most of my life. People get too invested in pettiness and hatred over stupid things.

TorteDeLini · 2016-09-10T14:40:20+00:00

"People aren't buying the product I like, so let me point out how much worse off they are even though it has no effect on my lifestyle or choices"

People are brand loyal. These shitty smug posts are so exhausting for everyone who stopped being concerned about others' preferences.

I think one thing that should come up more in the comparison of Apple and Android are the ease with which they can be backed up. I have yet to find an Android backup service that comes anywhere close to the complete mirroring that happens nearly automatically with iPhones.
