Another difference, which may or may not matter is that with android, you can side load apps that are not in the google play store. Also, I believe that Google's app approval process is not as strict about what you can and can't do. With IOS, unless you jail break the phone, you can only install apps from the app store. While I do use IOS, I don't really like the idea of someone else deciding what I can and cannot install on my device. If Apple decides that they don't like an app for some reason, you won't be able to install it, I figure, if I purchase a device, I should be able to do what I want. > On May 20, 2017, at 5:51 PM, Nimer Jaber <[email protected]> wrote: > > I also think it is fair to say that the apps on android or lower cost. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On May 20, 2017, at 4:25 PM, Mike Arrigo <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> One other advantage of Android I forgot to mention, it's much easier to >> transfer content to and from an android device because it will show up like >> any other drive when connected to a computer, and there are many file >> manager applications available for Android.
