I have an Android device. A Motorola Droid Turbo 2 or some such. It's a great phone and does pretty much everything I want it to and I'm used to it's operation. I have no issues with it.

Miz Kris has an Iphone6 or some such. It's a great phone that does pretty much everything she wants and she's used to it's operation. She has no issues with it outside of me pickin on her about "The Mothership". d;^)

Bottom line:
They're good products and usually one or the other will fit you.
No one is superior, or inferior, for buying a phone.
That's just Apple's successful marketing ploy to an insecure audience. Kinda like guys being attacked by lusty models if they drive this truck or drink that beer. Ya know?

But some fanboys just can't quite grasp that concept.
'Could be a sign of "other issues". d;^)

This is baloney.

 

Android vs iPhone

Ford vs Chevy

Pepsi vs Coke

It is all about your taste and influences.

I personally am a Android guy. I consider myself to be a power user. I just got the Galaxy Note 7. This is my I think 10th Android phone going back to the original Droid by Motorola. I sometimes pick on iPhone users as "Lemmings" like Chevy picks on FORD's as "Fix Or Repair Daily"

IMHO, prior to Steve Job's demise, you had to admit he had his finger on what excited people. I think Apple lost that. Samsung have been coming out with some really nice devices. As an example, the last 3 phones I have owned. Note 3, Note 4 & Note 5, I never needed to Root them to get all the productivity I needed. While all the previous HTC and Motorola Androids I did Root them. When the iPhone 7 comes out we will see how things shake out. But as of now Apple is behind the curve.

The leaks for the iPhone 7 have been few. So lets see if Apple can get their mojo back.

No one, not even Apple, except the non-Apple users have been implying that users are somehow superior for buying Apple products. That is a timeworn anti-Apple meme spread by the Anti-Apple people and their competitors used to put down Apple users ad nauseous. Frankly we are getting tired of it.
