I’m talking about checking for viruses, Trojans, malware, etc...

You neve have to do that with Apple.

That's why Apple malware has been so successful.

Interesting and possibly useful comparison - ANDROID PING!

Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.

My take: this is just one comparison of limited utility. Full disclosure, I'm an Android guy (obviously) and I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. However, I'm not really a Samsung fanboy - I actually hate the bloatware (both Samsung's and AT&Ts) that is pre-loaded on my phone, but that's another rant. (and will probably drive me to a different Android next time around)...

This head-to-head comparison is fine and useful if your primary benchmark for your phone is how rapidly you can load and switch between a dozen or so large and resource-taxing apps. That is not on my list of evaluation criteria. I prefer the Android ecosystem over iOS for a number of reasons. In evaluating Android phones (or any phone) I look for things like display quality, call reliability/quality, battery life, replaceable battery, storage expansion, overall size & heft...

I never had to replace a battery on an Apple Device.

Although I know if you do then, it cost $100 and you will generally get either the exact same device or an upgraded version.

The reason they have less of a share of the market is because of price.

Where they do have lower prices like mobile phones. They have a large market.

What is most important is Market cap. Overall Apple has a larger Market Cap than Microsoft. Apple leads while everyone else copies and sell cheaper versions.

That’s not because Apples software is magical , in fact it has as many holes as MS Windows... it’s just that the hacker community goes after the bigger target.

I certainly haven’t spent actual money to keep a computer clean, that’s for sure.

Apple is A LOT more sercured.

Microsoft on the other hand has more holes, back doors, etc.. than a kitchen strainer.

AAPL has a larger market cap that all but one or two companies in the world, not just MS.

MS code is easy to hack - Unix not so much - ask NSA. Size of target is just one factor.

I bought AppleCare for my iPhone 6 when I got the phone. It covers two repairs for water damage.

The next one was domestic built and was a piece of sh*t from the minute I drove it off the lot.

Because you forgot Rule #1: "Never buy any vehicle that has been touched by the UAW." :)

With the horrible S6 ive been using for a year, i am more than ready to join the cult of Jobs.

Terrible piece of crap. Typical of sotware guys, they spent so much effort improving ot that all the things i loved about the S4 no longer work or exist.

The fact that cell phones have NOT been water resistant/proof for as long as they have been around is very telling to me.

Oh, but wait, you can buy insurance.......

The fact that cell phones have NOT been water resistant/proof for as long as they have been around is very telling to me.

Cell phones have been common for perhaps 20 years. Other consumer items are much older and are not yet waterproof. Books, for instance, have been around for millennia and are not waterproof. Over the course of my life, I have lost a lot more books to water than I have lost cell phones.

Hair driers and electric razors are much older than cell phones, are usually used in wet environments, and are not yet waterproof.

I think cell phones are fantastic examples of the march of technology. And, they will be waterproof within a few years.

Your expectations exceed reasonable bounds.

All manner of electronic devices have been made virtually waterproof for marine use for over 50 years.

One accidental slip and your $600 phone just doubled in price. (!?)

Its not like I am asking for a flying car.
