    I think it depends on what you use your phone for really.

    I'm led to believe that Android is better for apps and games, so if that's what you're after then you're better going down that road.

    I prefer iPhone, but that's mainly because I can link my phone with my iPad and MacBook, helping me streamline my work requirements when I'm out on the go.

    Had an iPhone for a few years, and I'm due an upgrade in a month. Sticking with an iPhone.

    Couldn't have anything else.

    True, alot depends on the OS you are used to, IOS is definitely a lot smoother but both have pros and cons.

    It's almost common place now that if there is an iPhone app there will be an android one.

    I maybe would have got an iPhone but all my chargers and tablets etc everything is micro USB so apple can go and take a * to themselves because I'm not going to kick about with 2 different cables.

    Apple Pay, for example.

    I have an I Phone 3GS, I only have it because my mate gave me it for free because he got a newer one free with his contract. If I hadn't got it for free I would never have bought it. It's a pain in the *. Because the charger I have for it is not an official Apple charger I have to fight with it to take a charge. You plug in the charger and often get this message: "charging not available with this accessory". You have to plug it in and unplug it until it eventually starts taking the charge.

    I hate how I can't just hook it up to my PC and put tunes and videos on to it. Oh no, can't do that with an Apple phone, you have to register with Aye Tunes if you want to put videos and music on to it and you can't even charge it off a computer through a USB socket, you get the same message you get with the charger. Only thing you can do with it is move pictures. My Mum recently asked me to put some music on to her HTC phone. With the HTC phone putting tunes and vids on to it couldn't be simpler, just hook it up to the PC and drag and drop the files. Apple are such snide *, I really don't get what people see in their * and grossly over priced products.

    You've been able to pay using your Android phone for years.

    Samsung launch their own payment service that is apparently far more advanced than Apple's, very soon.

    I've still seen very few people use any of these services over the years.

    I Phone should be called the Naw Phone since you can't do basic things like drag and drop videos and music from your PC.

    Android everytime for me. It's more flexible and I think the devices are more advanced than the apple equivalent these days.

    I would say apple is good for people that aren't good with technology. Android is better for people that like to get the most out of there phone.

    Apple have tried too hard to keep too much control over their devices. Too often add on things add a premium to things.

    A lot of smart TVs(which most of us have) don't work anywhere near as well, if at all, with iPhones.

    The amount of people that have issues with iPhones pairing up properly with their car systems is crazy too.

    There's so many mainstream products out there that don't work with Apple. If you're in the select little clique of Apple partners, they have adapted things well, but a lot of normal devices just don't work well.

    To get the best out of the iPhone you need to buy devices to suit. People just do exactly that all the time.

    I'm well aware of both your points.

    That's not what we're talking about though. Is the entire World marketing Android Pay or Samsung Pay right now?

    What are we talking about them? I asked you what iPhones do that Andoid phones don't, and you said Apple pay.

    As I pointed out, it has been available for years under a different name on Android.

    Not sure what else we were talking about?

    I used to always have iPhones changed to Samsung a few years ago
    There's no way I would have an iPhone any were about me now
    In my opinion the Samsung notes are by far the best phones out there

    I didn't say it wasn't available I said the entire World is geared up for Apple products and Apple Pay was an example. Which is correct.

    Ask a random in the street if they've heard of Android Pay and what do you think their answer will be?

    Apple's products and Apps are more mainstream. Undeniably.

    Doesn't Android have a higher market share? Doesn't that makes android the most mainstream in terms of popularity.
