I use an iPhone because it’s just easy and reliable. The system’s smooth, apps don’t crash much, and updates come regularly. I also love how all my Apple stuff syncs up perfectly—my MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, everything works together. The camera’s awesome too, always ready for a quick shot. Plus, it just feels good in my hand. It’s simple, and it just works without any fuss

I was a diehard Windows Phone user back in the day. I had the HTC Touch Pro (HTC FUZE (RAPH110 model) the AT&T variant. I absolutely loved Windows Phone! Sadly, it was killed off due to lack of application support. At the time it was a powerhouse of a phone. Now I am an Android user. I've been using an Android phone in one model or another since.

To Be Honest I prefer Android over Iphone.  I started with Android in 2010 and never switch to Iphone until this year 2025 because of work related.  For one thing Android apps are Free and even though Apple has the same apps they are always Pay not Free.  That is one thing I don't like about Apple.  Why Android apps are free but Apple you have to pay and the app that are free in Android you can only 1or 2 times then they make you pay in Apple.  I made a list of Apple VS Android and which is better and so after I did the comparison I prefer Android.  Well there are some pro for Apple like when delete a message from I-message you have 30 days to retrieve it but on Android you can't receive deleted messages.  

After the Iphone 13 is not support and no OS updates I will go back to Android.  I work in the IT dept Help Desk and that I work with Faculty and staff.  Most of the faculty and staff has a Iphone and also my colleagues too.  Whenever a faculty or staff calls with a Iphone problem I don't know the answer so that is why I bought the Iphone for work related issues and troubleshooting their phones.

I got a basic Iphone 13 from total wireless.  They are the "on us" deals where I was not charge for the phone but just pay 3 months for the plan and it is $168.00.  So it's like getting the Iphone 13 for that price.  My credit card gave me back $90 because I click on the shopping offers and I got back my $90 from my credit card and that means my Iphone 13 is for $75.00  For $75 for an Apple device it's a steal.

That generally is not true. What are you talking about? Why would an app developer charge for their iOS app and give away the Android app? That makes no sense. Can you give some examples? My wife has an iPhone and has a million apps installed and usually doesn't pay for apps. I currently use Android and will always use the paid version of an app if have the option because you are getting ads and/or paying for it with your data. Nothing is free my friend...

Please provide examples of what you are talking about.

 

I have used Android since the beginning and consider myself an enthusiast and was even into the custom ROM scene back in the day but plan on buying the iPhone 17 (probably Pro Max) when it comes out.  The main reasons are Google cramming AI everywhere and Apple is a little better with privacy.  More of my  friends and the family care about use iPhones so iMessage would be big as I refuse use Facebook messaging. Apple supporting RCS helped but it's buggy.  Another factor is TBH I am getting bored with using Android phones and it's been over 15 years now. It's time for something different.

I’m on Android mainly for the customization and flexibility. iPhones are solid too, just not a fan of the walled garden. Curious to see how the vote turns out.

The Apple ecosystem certainly can turn into a walled garden but that is only if you let it become one. You are not required to also buy a Macbook with your iPhone and/or use say iTunes/Apple Music. Third party options exist for everything and are available on iOS including Google's services. 

BTW The vote has been going for two years now so I think it's done. LOL

OK on my Android phone I use a calling recording app (Cube ACR app) and that is for if I call my friends and I misheard what they says I can hear it back and I always tell my friend that you are being recording because in case if I miss something I can hear it again.  I always ask their permission if I can record or not and she give me permission to record it so that is fine.  On the android phone it is free where if I want to have more feature I have to pay that is fine.  I don't need more feature I just need it to record so I can play back again.  When I download that app on the Iphone it ask me to pay before I can use and it is the same feature on the Android so I don't get it.  I know nothing is for free and I am not complaining about ads.  I don't mind if I have ads on the free app.  I don't know why would a developer charge for their iOS app and give away the Android app.  Also for Apple free Notes app it is free on Apple but not on Android.  You have to pay on Android.  I downloaded the same Notes app for Apple and I tried it with Android but you have to pay to save the notes.

The app I am using is Cube ACR app and on the Iphone it ask me to pay where as for Android it is free for basic features.  The Notes app on Apple is free but on the Android you have to pay for the same Notes app that is on Apple.  If you have an Android you can try to download it and see what I am talking about.

Cube ACR costs regardless of platform. Check this out, I just installed it on Android.

Its possible you had an old free version on Android, but its no longer offered.

 

Apple doesn't provide a Notes app as far as I am aware. Someone may have made a clone, that using Apple APIs to sync back and forth, but that's why you are paying.

OK I see.  Yes I do have the old version that is free on Android.  I never updated it.  Thank you for letting me know.  I appreciate it.  Oh I didn't know it is no longer offered. I guess I have to look for a free version of it on my Android but now I now  I no longer have Android because it broke and I shattered the glass when I dropped it.  If I need to replace the screen it is expensive so I rather upgrade to a newer Android when it is time.  I know apple has a built in voice recorder and it let's the other party that you are being recorded.  Yes apple does provide the Notes app and it is the yellow icon.  I have attached the notes app that is included for apple.  Also I have attached the notes for Android and it is similar to Apple Notes app but you have to pay on Android to use the Save feature.

Android- Need to download keyboard software (-)
Apple-20% battery life iphone on red (+)
Android- 15% battery life Android on red(+)
Apple - Turn off Iphone to charge and plug charger wire to charge and it automatically turns the Iphone on (-)
Android- when the phone is off and plug to charge the phone the phone never turns on unless you press the power button to turn on. (+)
Apple -Iphone alerts you when you are too close to the screen.  (+)
Android- Does alert you when you are too close to the screen (-)
Apple -Firefox for Iphone has no "quit" menu (-)
Android- Firefox has Quit menu (+)
Apple -MS Edge for Iphone has no"exit" menu (-)

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
