Yeah, but you should learn to read. The iPhone processor is better than the best android processors at single core, even with a serious clock-rate disadvantage.

Okay that depends on many different aspects though which ranges from phone to phone. For example the g3 clocks highest on most scores due to the optimization. Bare specs don't always tell the story. The speed on most androids is higher then the phone but the os or os skin on the phone isn't matched. Lg and HTC have the closest optimization levels to iPhone. If an os skin isn't optimized for the phone (Samsung) that's where you get the choppiness from. That's why for some benchmarks the iphone scores higher because it is simply able to transfer faster. The Oneplus phone is on par or above apple simply because it has amazing optization. And that's just one part.

Google is evil.

Apple I bet does similar.

There's a reason people who actually want security with their mobile devices (eg the President) use Blackberry.

Oh I gotcha I thought you were just going to complain that you need a google plus for a YouTube account.

I agree but that shits nothing new. Apple uses keyboard tracers. If you have an iPhone they see everything you type.

If your are half good at coding or rooting you can usually avoid it.

If you don't want to be tracked go to Africa, find the most desolate spot, dig a several mile deep trench and become a human mole.

or just not have a cell phone. that works too.

pretty much the same thing, these days

Do any of you have an HTC one m9? I've had the m7 for more than two years and it has to go. Which android is best?

LG g3 is a solid option. also look at the OnePlus and Nexus. All solid phones at a decent price.

i switched from my m7 to a sony z3c. quite pleased.

couple of the main reasons Android is far better:

I can root it. This means I can do whatever the fuck I want with it.

- I've tweaked the CPU to be underclocked during certain tasks (like when screen is off it's limited down to practically nothing), so I can get a solid 4 days on my Sony with decent use. It'll loose about 1-2% battery life overnight depending on reception.

- I'm able to get rid of every stupid app that comes built in that you usually can't get rid of

- I can revoke any privileges of apps. I mean why a game needs access to your contacts list, wifi information, phone number, etc etc is beyond me. Install app > revoke all privileges > still use app

- adblock

- solid task managers to restrict background apps.

then there are a bunch of apps apparently you can't get on apple, like emulators. yeah I play pokemon on my phone. yeah it's amazing.

everything except the under clocking can be done on the iPhone as well, including Pokemon, just saying.

Different strokes for different folk, neither is better in terms of absolutes, it's a subjective personal choice.

This.

I sent this to a couple people with iphones before reading it can do permanent damage... still haven't heard back from them so I'm guessing no news is good news. right? right???

 

[Sky.]

I'd offer an opinion but it turns out I really only use my phone for basic functions and I don't know anything about phones and I've only had one smart phone in my lifetime and have very little experience with the other platform.

So my opinion would be very unhelpful.

Look out, quality post here.

The HTC one m8 is the best phone on the planet. It's a super computer in my hand!I was originally an Apple guy because of my macbook, phonthe HTC one has completely won me over. When ever I now use a different phone it just feels awful and awkward in my hand. The iPhone 6 is the worst too, it feels like a midget phone to me whenever I'm holding one.

Aren't the two phones almost identical in size?

The crash is caused by the way Unicode decodes characters, It's a very specific string of characters, Arabic is also just unicode.

It only causes issues between iPhone-to-iPhone communication, nor is it permanent.

Definetly did not already say that. And it works android-to-iphone also.

Oops sorry wrong thread my bad. We were talking about this in the thread for it. Got confused.

Ofcourse no doubt android is best till now and its very tough time to giving iphone and microsoft as well. But I think when Bill Gates take over the 'Nokia' and he is trying to make something new with android and windows phone not sure what is lets the time decide which one is best! Good Luck Bill Gates

anyone know if service providers are filtering out messages with this in it?

It's been super great being able to crash people's phones when they're glued to their screen, but starting recently whenever I send it to people with iphones it just never comes through.
