iPhone vs Android

Which is better?

The answer: it depends.  If I bought a phone for myself, it would most likely be an android.
If I was helping a relative choose a phone, and they were not tech-savvy, I would suggest an iPhone.

Arguing that one brand/os is better than the other is pointless, as it depends on the users technical capacity.
That said, not all iphone users are clueless tech-wise. But most people who aren't tech-savvy do have an iphone. People who want to endlessly tweak every single setting, theme, colour on their phone are better off with an android. These people are often more well equipped to deal with inevitable problems.
However, some people don't want to tweak things, they just want a phone that is nice, fast, and works. In this case an iPhone is better.

So next time someone argues that an iPhone is better, or a particular Android phone is better than iPhones, think about why they think one is better.

One more important note: If you compare (any) iPhone to the $50 android that someone has, of course the iPhone worth 10 times the price is going to come out on top. Some android phones on par with the iPhone 4/s are the Samsung Galaxy II(and III when it comes out), Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy Note, Droid Maxx etc.

Often people mouthing off about either platform being far better than the other are just saying so because of brand loyalty, and are not looking at either OS/brand objectively.

Agree/disagree? Let me know in the comments section below!
