I for one could never go back to Android. iOS is just such a better user experience, much more fluid. Android feels like Cisco Voice's product lineup, all pieced together. fragmented applications and processes that dont work side-by-side with eachother. The other reason, which is huge to me, is the hardware. I am huge on how things feel in the hand and in my opinion apple's hardware is just far superior to anything offered for Android. Best thing I have seen hardware-wise was the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, and the Oneplus2. I miss the old Nokia days, e61/e62, that build quality was top notch, although running symbian made it a bit of a snail. I tried switching out of iOS and over to a nexus5 when it was released, I had pre-ordered it and was super excited for it to come in, but the hardware felt like total shit to me, and after a month I swapped back to iOS. Im still rocking an original iphone5 thats jailbroken, works better than that N5 any day of the week. Much like cars, it isnt about the size of the engine, or the tech it comes with, its about the whole package and how it all works together, as a unit.

Also worth mentioning, I think the design of the hardware on the new Iphone6 are a massive screwup. For instance how rounded the edges are, they should have a curvature, but not as drastic as it is currently. And the protruding lens from the back of the phone, jobs is surely rolling in his grave over that one.

> fragmented applications and processes that dont work side-by-side with eachother Are you joking? I just tried to email some screenshots to myself from my iPhone. Couldn't do it. It only let me send one image at a time. There was literally no way to make multiple attachments, and if you are trying to attach something that's not in Camera roll, good luck! (I only went the email route because its 2016 and I still can't just send a file from my iPhone to my computer via Bluetooth). On Android, its a simple matter of selecting all the photos (in pretty much ANY gallery app, doesn't have to be the OS included one), and hitting share: I could send to my computer via Bluetooth, or attach to an email, in like 2 clicks. Android's interoperability and system for how apps can share data and work with each other is unparalleled. iOS has a long way to go on that front...

  You can select about 5 images and email them all at once. You can also connect your device to your computer and download the images directly. You can also share images over airdrop via bluetooth.

    Discounting the fact that Airdrop only works on Macs (sending to a Windows machine or an Android phone doesn't work, even though those devices both support Bluetooth file transfers), I've never even been able to get Airdrop to work on my Mac. As for emailing files: that's all fine if your images are in the Camera roll. But try emailing and image and a PDF together, or an image from a different app.

"all pieced together. fragmented applications and processes that dont work side-by-side with eachother" Wow this is... don't even know what to say here. Just... incredibly superficial. Let me put this puzzler to you... I want to share something (say an image, video, sound, URL whatever...) from inside an app to a friend via a chat app. Compare how that's done on Android vs in iOS. If you don't know what the answer to that question is in Android, please refrain on commenting about what platform feels like a bunch of fragmented precious snowflakes glued together on a rectangular screen.
