  Given the choice,moor the same price, I think I don't personally know anyone who would opt for Android. 

I used an iPhone for about 4 years (4s and 5s for about 2 years each). I switched to Android two years ago. I doubt I will ever go back.

Do I like iOS?? Sure... more than MacOS actually. My iPad Mini 3rd gen works like a charm.

I run Windows, Android AND iOS on a daily basis and love it. Being device agnostic is so nice.

The problem for the iPhone is not Samsung, like appleinsider seems to think, it is Android in general.

That's been said so many times over the years and it still isn't true. Nokia. Motorola. Huawei. LG. Samsung. Google's Nexus line, and now its Pixel line. They were all supposed to take out Apple either alone or as a group. Apple is not only still around, but thriving, and looks extremely healthy for the foreseeable future.

IMHO buying a phone has now just come down to personal preference, there isn't much difference between any of them these days, they all do the job asked of them pretty admirably. Like cars, I pick the one I like in my price range, they all get me from a to b and back again at the end of the day. The market has matured so fast I can't justify spending 1000s on a top tiered phone anymore. If more people start thinking like me, it will hurt Apple as they will no longer be able to justify their high prices, but it will be good for consumers. Apple aren't a tag heuer brand, where you have to pay through the nose for exclusivity.

Sorry Saltyzip, but you are an Android apologist on an Apple based site. Samsung S8 phones are relatively the same price as the iPhone so do not use price point as an excuse for your bias.

You do realize that MANY people run Mac PC's AND run Android phones right?? Why can't you be tolerant of someone that wants to use something different than you??

You do realise people run Mac AND run Android phones are not THAT MANY, right? And even then, it's not by choice but some silly company policy, right? Given them a choice, they would rather go for Apple ecosystem then having a headache of multiple platforms and cloud services.

I've ran iPhones and iPads (owned 2 of each), Mac OS (ran iMacs at work for YEARS), Windows(currently run an 10 year old Dell laptop.) and Android(on my second Android phone). There is NO headache. Again I repeat there is NO HEADACHE in running more than one platform. EVERYTHING I do online is done in the cloud. EVERYTHING. I am currently typing this on a 10 year old Dell laptop. I can do EVERYTHING on this laptop that I can do on my iPad mini, or my LG G5. I use Windows, Android AND iOS. DAILY. You want to believe that this can't be done. You're wrong. Totally wrong.

Evernote?? Works everywhere.
Gmail?? Works everywhere.
Google photos?? Works everywhere.
OneNote?? Works everywhere.
MS Office?? Works everywhere.
Google Play Music?? Works everywhere.
Slack?? Works everywhere.
Chrome?? Works everywhere.
Lastpass?? Works everywhere.
Tripadvisor?? Facebook?? Instagram?? Twitter?? Youtube?? WhatsApp?? Apple Music?? Spotify?? Netflix?? Skype?? Yelp?? Paypal?? Kindle?? Audible?? Amazon?? eBay?? Dropbox?? Wordpress?? Adobe Photoshop, Reader, etc...?? You guessed it. They ALL work. Everywhere. It's ALMOST as if the app developers designed them this way. 

Super Mario run came out for iOS first though, didn't it?? YEAH!!

So you're more credible than him, how?

Irrelevant. So he’s credible how?

 How many videos do YOU have posted on YouTube?

Irrelevant. Appeal to popularity.

How many followers do you have?

Irrelevant. Appeal to popularity.

How many reviews under your belt?

Irrelevant. Appeal to “authority.”

I look forward to your reply.

I look forward to you not substantiating any of your claims.

Where are my claims? I believe every sentence I wrote, besides the last one, ended with a question mark. Since when did "claims" end with question marks??

P.S. I imagine "tallest skil" has fingers and could answer my questions himself without you barging into the conversation.

Keep patting yourselves on the back guys... OR maybe you could watch this video and learn.



Hint - Apple's displays were just as much different from each other than Samsung's were.

Listen here, 2 posts. Just because someone makes s YouTube video to defend Samsung doesn't make it an education. But thanks for trying. I'm sure your boss will give you a raise for the effort. And the guy in the video is hardly credible. 

So you're more credible than him, how? How many videos do YOU have posted on YouTube? How many followers do you have? How many reviews under your belt? I look forward to your reply.
