I already kind of did a thread similar to this, but this is just about phones now. Which one(s) do you use?
I've always been part of the droid fam. I wanted to convert to Apple a while back but realized I like to customize my phone way too much, and jailbreaking a phone would not work with my because I might screw it up. Windows phone seem so simple and boring that it is complicated from what I have seen, and Apple's app market is not as extensive (or free) as Android's.

I'm not a tech person but I did jail break an iPhone once. It's not hard to do. I did it a few years ago I used something called green poison or something like that. someone else creates the software, I want to say you just download it to your laptop then to your phone. I'm team iPhone. I have never had an android nor a Windows phone, but when I see other people with androids they look like bootleg iPhones...which is funny considering the lawsuit(s) Apple has filed against them. I might like android if I gave it a shot, but ehh...it seems like too much of a hassle to transfer info and stuff over to an OS. Wait...I do have an android tablet. I don't care for it too much. I don't use it. It didn't run smoothly. |

I never had any major issues with any of my Android phones. I like iOS for it's physical appearance, but I still favor Android phones because of the ability to customize the device. iOS seems a too restricted and like you said the number of applications available to download is limited. Apple devices are superior for users who need to utilize the accessibility framework, Voiceover. I am a bit biased though, so I am not sure if my opinion matters too much :laughing: |

I think we are all biased here for sure because like I said, I've never really used an Apple product and probably never will!  Have any of you used Windows' phones? Those things look so... boring! |

Even though android phones are typically wider they look a lot a like to me...  |

Just got an LG. So far, so good. I've had all three types; apple, android and windows. LG is android correct? I usually prefer apple but I'm liking the LG. My only problem with it is that the screen is way too sensitive. My finger can be hovering an inch above and it will still click whatever its hovering above. Annoys me to no end. I hated windows the most.

That looks like the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. It does look a lot like the 5s :laughing: It is weird because my laptop looks a lot like a macbook but it is a windows machine. Samsung does emulate Apple a lot. I believed they are always being sued/threatened to be sued :laughing2: |

I'm biased, but I still don't see how Apple has lost so many lawsuits in regards to this? To me it's pretty cut and dry. It's very clear they were "inspired" by iPhone. Then again, I guess where do you draw the line? Does it become a slippery slope? Leaving room for one company to sue another because "that sorta looks like this". |

My only problem with it is that the screen is way too sensitive. My finger can be hovering an inch above and it will still click whatever its hovering above. Annoys me to no end. I hated windows the most. I think I had that same problem with my last phone which was a real low quality LG, so it might just be something about their basic tech. What model LG is it? (And yes, LG is Android.) Windows must be bad because I never hear anyone talk about it. do the phone carriers even advertise it on tv? Maybe they do but I'm just too ignorant to know.

Leaving room for one company to sue another because "that sorta looks like this". No one even talks about Windows computers anymore! I remember I used to see their advertisements on TV or posters in places like a mall, but now there is nada! It think it might be because everyone has left them, Windows 8/10, and their flop phones in the dust. I could be wrong though. Apple might lost most of their lawsuits against Samsung because Samsung makes some of the parts for their Apple products so it would kind of be..I don't know - weird? |
