Author Topic: iphone 5s utilizes fingerprint scanning  (Read 6451 times)

I'd like to point out that the Atrix had fingerprint scanning in 2011, and Motorola gave up on the feature because nobody cared (so Apple bought the fingerprint tech).

Also, for people complaining that Androids are harder to use: you can get an iOS launcher or ROM that will make it operate in the exact same way as an iPhone. Nobody does it because it would be a downgrade- Androids let you customize your home pages with widgets and whatever you like, leaving the apps in your app drawer so they don't hog all the space.

There are too many benefits with Android to list, but a few exceptional points:
-larger screen size
-variety of phones to choose from (meaning varying glass types, displays, cameras, speakers, etc)
-phone prices + retailers (e.g. Costco which even has a 90 day return policy)
-open source (can edit files from computer or file manager)
-internet downloads (images, videos, docs, etc)
-syncs Google account (no more signing in for Google Apps, no more "new iPhone need numbers!" posts on Facebook)
-launchers on play store to change interface (Nova, Trebuchet, ADW, etc)
-can remove battery/get extended battery packs
-uses mini USB rather than gay iPhone charger
-Google Now tells you what you want
-More apps on Play Store, Amazon etc (yes, there are multiple android app stores)
-Emulators (play GameBoy, DS, N64, etc games)
-Live wallpapers (interact with input + you can even convert GIFs to live wallpapers)
-No physical buttons (Nexus devices)
-Many more settings for phone customization (eg adding shortcuts to apps on lock screen) and settings are all in one place

A screen size comparison:


Here is one of many examples of how iOS 7 has already been duplicated on Android:


This is just another gimmicky iPhone update used to scam Apple fanboys and get their money. Like always, android has done it before, and Apple claims it to be a new feature (eg running apps display, NFC, notification bar).

You say iPhones are gimmicky then list game boy emulators as a big selling point of Android lmao? Get real. Android might be good for nerdy kids with an allowance, but people in the real world don't care about launchers and open source lol

yes i will
im tired of android
why? because it doesnt look good out of the box?


yes i will
im tired of android
No, you're just a fan of handicapped looking phones that have a ui that looks good, and nothing else

That is to point out that you can essentially emulate anything you want to on Android- not just a Game Boy. And allowing downloads does matter a ton to people in the real world- because of this you can simply go to a website and download any kind of file to your phone, without the need to go through iTunes and whatnot.

Sure, an iPhone will allow you to make phone calls, text people, take pictures and whatever, but it is the additional capabilities of Android that put it on top. Remember, if an iPhone can do it, an Android can too.

I would disagree with the iOS 7 ui looking good, I know many iPhone users that do not like it.

oh look a phone is open source, forget all the other cool features! better not buy it, it makes me look like a nerd and ruins my ego

iphones look lovey, the forget are you smoking?

this. android gives apps too much freedom over how their UI looks and stuff.
yeah! down with freedom! up with rice!

Android has the same deal problem as Linux:  Everyone who makes any UI stuff is absolutely terrible at design.

how do i get imessage on my android phone?

go to play store and search up imessage
bam its right there

Apple products aren't even that expensive lol, buy it on a contract and you just pay £40 something a month and don't notice. 5s looks sick, tempted to replace my 5 with a gold one.


My major beef with anything apple makes is the price point. Everything they do is just fine but for the prices they charge it's crazy. Except phones, I think that's what they do best. When I upgraded to a smart phone I only chose android because it was the same price and I've never liked the Iphone's UI that much. A month or two after I bought my phone they had the $1 iphone upgrade which pissed me off. I spent like $100 on my Droid Razr but if there was an Iphone for a dollar I would have taken it in a heart beat.

Did you even read my post? You ride Apple's rooster so hard it's not even funny. Like anytime there is a discussion about Apple I see you in there. You're always sucking off apple super hard.

I also like how you call anyone that says something negative about  apple some variation of neckbeard or something along those lines.

Also, the point is that you can customize your UI to fit your preference. Along with Nova, I'm on Eclipse to make my phone look black as Tyrone.

It was a joke. There are tons of free messaging services- nobody cares about iMessage. I use Google Voice for free texting.
