Android vs iOS

Evening all.This year I bought my 6th android phone but have found it a complete nightmare, constantly doing things it's not asked to do and frankly am a little fed up with the whole android system.I'm considering swapping over to iOS next (I've been once before, but not using for business) and am wondering who has used both and can make a solid comparison? If anyone has any views on Mac computers vs. Windows, I'm looking for views on that too.Thanks in advance.

    On Pc vs Mac can't comment as I've not had a Mac but they are nice and shiny:-)

    A "Big Mac" wins hands down. Every time :) Especially if Large.

    An iPhone just works. Out of the box. Everytime. Android is good if you're techy. Windows/Nokia phones good, but lack Apps and the polished feel.

    Guys use a mix of Android tablets and iPads. Those using Android just look long and lovingly at the iPad's ease of use :)

    My wife had a android tablet and didn't use it much. She then got an ipad via work, and now uses all the time. For her it just works - so she got an iphone as well.

    For me, android. For 2 reasons, firstly, I like the philosophy behind open source etc, and secondly ongoing, our scheduling sw only supports android/Windows (Service Assistant).

    I had iPhone 3 and 4 but was happy to move back to Samsung galaxy first the 4 then to 5 and now currently on Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge plus what is a fantastic phone, and all without the restraints of having to go through apple software every time I plugged them into my PC and I don't have to purchase ringtones I can make my own exactly what I want

    I also have an iPad and Samsung mini tablet, both good enough for what I use them for but I still much rather use my PC

  • I had an s2 years ago and hated it. This was along side an iPhone! Since then I have stayed iOS. 

    I then had the debate of stay with buggy, slow windows or change to OS X. Made the jump as needed to renew the laptop. I now love the Macbook Pro and I doubt I would go back to windows. 

    Thread on that here

    Oh Apple all the way. I have had windows pc's and have had android phones of various shapes and sizes but Apple is just, i don't know......."smoother" I now have an iphone, ipod, ipad, apple tv and mac all of which are linked in so that what ever i do on one (software permitting) it is available on the others.

    For a long time I refused to move to an Apple mac as I have used the MS office package since it first arrived however it's now avaiable for the Mac and it works well.

    I am a tad techy but I am not an expert by a long shot. I can see benefits to a PC and to a Mac but for me all I wanted was reliability, simplicity, and a cohesive use of all my IT and only Apple does that.

      anyone used any of the tough phones 

      CAT -http://www.thephonetrader.co.uk/cat/cat-s40.html for example 

      i smash everything -- and my favorite phone was the old nokia rubber covered number -- was excellent never broke could shuck it into walls or water and came out smiling 

      TBH i just want a phone that takes good pictures - has a long battery life -- can handle an email - but wont break when i drop it or lean on it 

      anyone using something that can handle an aggressive life style and doesnt need charging every few hours ?
