Why do people like Android more than iPhone?
You Want More Freedom, Control, and Customizations.
Since Android is an open-source platform, it offers more freedom and customization options than iOS. You can customize almost anything on your Android device, from how your home screen looks to how you interact with your phone.
understand the dilemma, after spending so much on the iPhone’s it becomes hard to look at it’s shortcomings….you want to justify your purchase in the end. You just fix it in your mind that it’s the best phone in the world, flex it around and pat yourself. Deep inside you know you’ve fallen into a marketing trap of a status symbol. But you keep telling your mind it’s the best decision you’ve made, necessary to increase your productivity and work-flow…along those lines.
disadvantages of iphone people told to theusabulletin
Android is more productive as it’s less restrictive, you know you could transfer files faster with a usb type-c cable but you want to look cool with Air-drop. You try to overlook the Samsung flagships unless Apple introduces those same features 2 years down the line. You fall for the Apple eco-system which you don’t have and slowly spend a lac on macbook and 50k on an Apple watch.
you know that Pin is the most secure option & Finger-print sensor Is secure enough but you still compromise with the notch for the sake of it. Sometimes you wonder, why no reviewer ever mentioned that the back gesture isn’t constant on iPhone’s or how you can’t send files using bluetooth in your iPhone or how there’s so much bloatware like Apple Tv, Facetime, iMessage etc that we don’t use in India at all (It’s WhatsApp here).
You also then install the Google Chrome as it’s simply better. You appreciate the Instagram’s integration on iPhone’s as the reviewers told you but then you see your dusty Android friend smartly using the superior stock camera instead of the poor built-in Instagram camera for better quality.
you realise the file system doesn’t really exist, it’s for namesake. Some of your downloads are visible only in Safari browser. You can’t download movies or mp3 files directly. Meanwhile your Android friend is bundling Apk files, using zip, rar, hiding files with single touch on Android’s File manager.
You realize that how your Android used to talk nicely with sd-cards, cables, mouse and various Operating systems like Windows, Linux etc…not the case with ios.
You see itunes app as a saviour but then you realize it’s specifically designed by Apple to make a mockery out of you for doing things not permitted in strict Apple ecosystem You see your friends using Google Pay and Samsung Pay but you can’t use your Apple pay as it simply doesn’t work in India.
You realize that all the apps you ever installed on Android were mostly free, either from playstore or from the browser…no workaround as such on Apple app store, pay and get the useful stuff.
You’re happy about getting 5-6 years of updates but you quickly realize you don’t get next year iPhone’s fancy features be it Cinematic mode or Night-mode. Meanwhile your typical Samsung gave Night mode or Single take on their budget devices with an update.
- Breaking the iphone 13’s screen could cost you unncessarily 25k (cuz India), so you add 2-3 screen protectors and a hefty case with a shining visIble Apple logo (that’s most important).
- You don’t talk about fast charging or your selfie camera (meh). You quickly realize that animations on Ios are smooth but it too is plagued by bugs, you surely miss how Android managed notifications.
- You get bored looking at the ugly icons as your beloved wallpaper is almost invisible. To Edit your favorite photo, you can’t share it from gallery to Snapseed/Lightroom, you’ve to open that editing app and search your pic within it.
- You stop tinkering with your iPhone as it doesn’t allows it…it stops all your attempts of making it your own unique phone with your taste.
You wonder why no-one talks about the Apple issues on forum’s like be it reddit or quora. You certainly miss how Android community used to together raise an issue, discuss, share stuff on Android Froum’s like Xda, reddit etc After a while, you notice you’ve increased your productivity as you’ve started spending less time with your Iphone as it’s more restrictive and nothing special has to happen now.
