*DUMBCAN*Yeah, but you should learn to read. The iPhone processor is better than the best android processors at single core, even with a serious clock-rate disadvantage.

Google is evil.
Apple I bet does similar.
There's a reason people who actually want security with their mobile devices (eg the President) use Blackberry.

Laurent.If you don't want to be tracked go to Africa, find the most desolate spot, dig a several mile deep trench and become a human mole.

VinnieFor just not have a cell phone. that works too.
DobberDo any of you have an HTC one m9? I've had the m7 for more than two years and it has to go. Which android is best?

VinnieFcouple of the main reasons Android is far better:
I can root it. This means I can do whatever the fuck I want with it.
- I've tweaked the CPU to be underclocked during certain tasks (like when screen is off it's limited down to practically nothing), so I can get a solid 4 days on my Sony with decent use. It'll loose about 1-2% battery life overnight depending on reception.
- I'm able to get rid of every stupid app that comes built in that you usually can't get rid of
- I can revoke any privileges of apps. I mean why a game needs access to your contacts list, wifi information, phone number, etc etc is beyond me. Install app > revoke all privileges > still use app
- adblock
- solid task managers to restrict background apps.
then there are a bunch of apps apparently you can't get on apple, like emulators. yeah I play pokemon on my phone. yeah it's amazing.
Laurent.Different strokes for different folk, neither is better in terms of absolutes, it's a subjective personal choice.
Peter.apple has imessage which means i can text from my laptop and phone, that wins it for me

TingaI'd offer an opinion but it turns out I really only use my phone for basic functions and I don't know anything about phones and I've only had one smart phone in my lifetime and have very little experience with the other platform.
So my opinion would be very unhelpful.
WoldsWorldThe HTC one m8 is the best phone on the planet. It's a super computer in my hand!I was originally an Apple guy because of my macbook, phonthe HTC one has completely won me over. When ever I now use a different phone it just feels awful and awkward in my hand. The iPhone 6 is the worst too, it feels like a midget phone to me whenever I'm holding one.

Send this to all your iphone. Friends (iPhones dont understand Arabic so it restarts their iphone.)
VinnieFI sent this to a couple people with iphones before reading it can do permanent damage... still haven't heard back from them so I'm guessing no news is good news. right? right???
Laurent.The crash is caused by the way Unicode decodes characters, It's a very specific string of characters, Arabic is also just unicode.
It only causes issues between iPhone-to-iPhone communication, nor is it permanent.

LonelyDefinetly did not already say that. And it works android-to-iphone also.
