There’s nothing supposed. Apple is way better, Android is garbage.Remind me again why apple stuff is supposedly better than android
The problem with Apple is that their hardware is designed so that only Apple can take it to pieces to repair it. The second money-grabbing design of Apple is the inability to upgrade. You want an upgrade...bigger memory? ,,,better processor? Sell your current model at a loss and pay a massively high price for a better model. Weird controls so you feel exclusive! At the end of the day they are well made but massively over-priced and and a similar spec android is much cheaper and can be upgraded and repaired locally. Remember Blackberry phones? Same shit and the mugs fell for it.
A few years ago I had a Google Nexus 4 phone. An absolutely outstanding bit of kit but about 3 years after it was released Apple released the spec to the new iPhone. Much fanfare and media coverage about how new and ground breaking the new one was!
The specs only just managed to match those of my old Nexus 4!! Even when shown that their new, expensive, phone didn't have particularly ground breaking technology they still couldn't see how they were being ripped off!

And yet the new Samsung Galaxy whatever that’s on its way in the next few weeks is inferior to 2019’s iPhone 11 Pro, never mind the 12 Pro.A few years ago I had a Google Nexus 4 phone.

I put up with Android phones for about four years at work and they’re so poor that I switched to iPhones and have never looked back. A lot of what Bill Centaur says above is pretty accurate. However, the Android phones slow down over a relatively short space of time whereas the iPhone tends to maintain the same performance speeds. The thing that really pissed me off with Android, particularly Samsung, was that they have a tendency to open and run apps in the background, usually Google maps and Google play store. My HTC wasn’t as bad but bad enough to be irritating.
It mainly boils down to your preference of operating system and how much money you’re prepared to spend. We’re so far into the Apple ecosystem that it would make no sense whatsoever to change. Besides, I wouldn’t want to.
Oh, and Apple doesn’t harvest all your data and flog it like what Google does.
Exactly.Jeez....if we were arguing the specs of the latest bike I could see the point. But FFS....they're just phones.
All the poor
I pay less for my iphone 11 than most people pay for a three year old android.
No real need to justify a superior product. Besides, see how much of your initial outlay you get back trying to flog a three year old android phone compared to a three year old iPhone. iPhones hold their value too, which makes financial sense.Exactly.
All the poorsheepiPhone users have to justify it to themselves.
Please stop trying to justify yourselves.
One of the things that iPhone users seem to miss is that Android isn't a brand of phone, it's an operating system.....so comparing an iPhone with Android is like a BMW owner telling an Audi owner (for example) that his Beemer is better than the other guy's petrol.
Android comes in many guises and flavours - from plain Android (as found on Googles own phones) to the likes of Samsung, who put a heavily customised version on their phones.
One of the main reasons I stick with Android is that there's a whole world of possibilities which allows you to wipe an Android phone and put whatever version on that you like.
Another reason is the far better selection of apps available and the freedom to install pretty much anything you like.
With Apple it's their way or the highway.

If you are happy with apple products then that’s fine, never had my apple products hacked, had samsung hacked twice.
Please stop trying to defend the indefensiblePlease stop trying to justify yourselves.
I've never had any of my Macs hacked either.
There's a pattern developing here somewhere..................
What have I defended?Please stop trying to defend the indefensible
I have made a statement, I've not tried to defend or justify anything.
Never had an android phone hacked, never had my Windows laptop hacked.
There's a pattern there.
Last week I bought two Alcatel android tablets for Grandkids schoolwork, one has packed up already, going back today for a refund, Bev’s going to let them use her five year old ipad
