So my I got my wife a LG volt Android based phone. My daughter has an Ipod (5th). This is not the first time I've bought Apple, but this will likely be my last time.
1. Extortionately expensive, and no justification for the price. Apple claims their products are higher quality. I don't see the big deal.
2. The Nerd factor with Apple products are quite low. The interface seems very "Fisher-Price" like. My wife's Android is awesome. I was able to flash the firmware, put on some funky version of Android OS and get the phone rooted. The android OS is very flexible, you can enable developer options and play with all kind of settings.
3. No SD card slot on devices. My suspicion is they use physical size as a selling point. So it's not like you get get the most basic ipod/iphone and just put in a 64gb micro sd card. You can with Android devices.
4. My understanding is Apple has to approve apps for Iphone/Ipod, whereas Android has unrestricted.
I'm actually pissed about how much more I paid for a Ipod (with no phone func) v.s. a LG volt. How the Android device seems vastly superior in hardware, screen size, OS v.s. the Apple. Waste of money.
Yep,
Forgot about the battery issue, no way to remove battery without tearing down the phone.
No you retard, your thread just sucks. This is a stupid topic that is literally older than the internet, and you have added absolutely nothing of value to it. Everyone on this site is at least passingly familiar with Apple and what their devices are like, so you can't even claim it's a PSA.
Android is like a baggy off-the-rack suit. Whereas Apple's are perfectly fitted, tailored to your size...but restrictive, uncomfortable, and you kind of look like a twat.
5. No support for Near Field Communication
6. No support for miracast. With the Android I can connect it to my Roku3.

Apple requires you to have a icloud account to use the ipod. In addition I had to setup a icloud account (something I would never use) so that my daughter can use the ipod. I was supposed to be the approver if she tires to download a app. She would go and try to do a download, then I would never get a notificaiton. It seems I would also have to have a ipod/iphone to get the notification (not sure). Anyway I just removed the restriction and it works. Not sure about why it couldn't, but it didn't seem to "just work".

Good job apple marketing.
So apparently there are people who think its worth 4x what its really worth or wouldn't even pay half of what it costs.
Yeah, like I want to walk round with that in my pocket.Get this:

Far superior to a removable battery. It charges my iPhone 5s 6 times. That's enough for an entire week of camping.
It doesn't really do any of those three things...One day you will grow up and realize that rooting your phone is not cool, and only voids your warranty and greatly reduces reliability and security.
