Apple or Android?

Depends. 

I rely on google for almost everything. Android has all native google apps. I do everything from my phone. For me its android.

I have both. I like apple better. I use my phone for simple things. Calls, text, movies, browsing, few apps. I don't mind using iTunes and apple software. I also don't feel the need to customize everything. I want practicality before anything. I need my phone to work and work smoothly in order to use it. I will sacrifice things for it.  I do NOT want slow phones or glitchy phones; I want things to run smooth. I don't need external storage as I don't use it. I don't like a phone made up of parts from 20 different companies and fit together working, and it being different with each model/company who is going to make a phone for android.

 

Apple makes Apple. No one else. No other phone models. This is why parts run smooth, no glitches, bugs or viruses, great security...all for this reason. But also for this reason, you must use their apps, charging cords etc. The downfall is the lack of customization, lack of choices for phones, mandatory apps like itunes, some apps you can't download, no external memory etc.

 

You can always jailbreak an iphone and get the best of both worlds. However take a moment to think that Apple is easily competing and in many ways outdoing android with one....a single phone model, a single company. That's impressive and it's for a good reason.

Do you really believe that Apple devices do not get viruses?

Android for me. I ditched Apple 4 years ago and never went back. With Android, you have options. With apple, your options are Apple.

I have used both.

The iPhone is boring and reliable. On a lark I bought a Galaxy s& edge (or whatever it is) and that is a cool phone. Coolest by far I have had. But there were some basic things it wouldn't do with emails and layout. So I went back to the latest iPhone.

Apparently there are functionalities on the Android phones that i will never use. Like a guy has his android alert his wife whenever he pings on the nearest cell tower to home so she knows he is 10 mins away. Very cool.

I use text and email.

Basically iPhone caters to the LCD and that is apparently me.

So, you buy a new phone every year so your current phone isn't intentionally slowed by Apple's planned obsolescence?

you don't have to just use apple's cords to charge. anker cords work great and you can get a stronk nylon cable that's like 6 feet long for half the price that apple is charging for their standard cable

i switched to apple in 2014 and haven't looked back since. companies that build phones for android may have more advanced hardware here and there but they cannot develop an operating system that makes it run to its fullest potential bc they have to develop one for like 29 diff phones in any given year. so they have to build a shoe that the galaxy s8 has to fit, but it also has to fit some shitty malaysian tech start up's phone model that will be out of business in 2 years. 

 

also apple has taken a lot of poo for the fact that you couldn't manage media like you could on the android but this has been overstated and if you know what you're doing you can copy music and video/photos to your pc without much effort. plus you can set a tone for anything. you have to edit the filetypes and trim them and know where to put them in the right place to sync to the phone, but it shouldn't be a challenge since every android user thinks that owning an android automatically qualifies them as a tech guru hotshot compared to an iphone user. 

 

that doesn't mean i think that apple is without flaws. the battery gets smaller every year and google assistant makes siri sound like she has fragile x. i don't use voice assist so i don't really care. in the end, use whatever phone you want. i'd rather there be competition. it just helps guarantee that all the phones are going to be better than they otherwise would be. btw apple has been having samsung build some of the iphone's hardware components for years now, but they're slowly phasing samsung out of manufacturing their chips.

Without jail breaking it, with a stock iOS iPhone it is practically impossible. The crazy outlier exception is not the rule. iOS security is better than android. Do some research and show me  some proof the above being incorrect.

I use an iPhone 5s from years ago and it's still fast and smooth. 

 

Evey phone will become slower, iPhone or not compared to newer phones and tech.

Apple just stopped updating the 5 in April. The 5S is next.
