Two men in Tulsa, Okla. were hospitalized on Friday after stabbing each other in a fight over the superiority of iPhones versus Android devices, according to a local ABC TV affiliate.




KTUL reported that a woman found one of the men stumbling around Evergreen Apartments around 1 a.m., covered in blood. Police were called, and subsequent investigation discovered that the men had been drinking.

When the phone argument turned violent, the pair broke their beer bottles and stabbed each other. At one point during the fracas, one of the men smashed their bottle over the other's head.

The seriousness of the injuries hasn't been made public, nor is it yet clear whether police or either of the victims are planning to press charges.

The iPhone versus Android debate is a common trope in American culture. iPhone owners will often claim features such as a smoother interface, better-integrated features and higher build quality, while Android owners will point to things like cheaper prices, a more flexible operating system, and/or technical superiority in some models.

Android devices generally enjoy a larger marketshare, since the operating system is used by a wide range of phone makers. The iPhone however is frequently the most popular individual brand, particularly in countries like China and the U.S.

    This is going too far. I know my iPhone 6+ is superior to any android phone, so I don't need to prove it to anyone. No argument.

    i thinks it's safe to assume that the people in this forum should never meet in person.

    They should both be sentenced to using Windows phones.

    So that's what BF has been up to since being banned. We knew he was a closet Android user.

    Sorry, the U.S. Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

    This isn't about smart phones. It's about how stupid humans can be over any topic at all.

    Also, this isn't how friends behave, drunk or not.

    Yup. I knew this would happen. If you use Android, malware will eventually get to your brain. <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
