The endless wretched abomination that the Android "Operating system" (It's actually a cleverly disguised data-mining [nice way of saying, stealing everything you do]) is?
It's just stable enough to effectively track every keystroke and eye dilation/position without completely collapsing in on itself. Mine data first- functionality and common sense are a distant... Very distant second...
Endless phone resets with the hours-long process of re-entering ALL of my passwords, re-downloading apps, inevitably forgetting this or that, losing pictures, files, memories, in my hurry to re-obtain a functioning phone that doesn't lag so badly it's marginally unusable, or the phones internal memory filling up faster than a wading pool in a sustained monsoon.
My source? I've owned about 40 various smartphones, all android, never apple, but that is going to change.
The endless, searing incompetency of Google in making a stable platform is staggering to me. Do they hold secret basement meetings where they discuss how they can make things worse? "Oh! Oh!" Shouts Chad. "Let's make popup notifications on the top of the screen so they can't reply, because they app is directly behind the text!"
"Brilliant." Says Karen.
"Oh! Oh!" Says Richard. "Let's make the Dalvik Cache fill up, lagging the phone- and make it inaccessible to users."
"Oh my God Richard, you magnificent bastard, that will make so many people buy new phones. Your ideas are so terrible- I think I'm going to leave my husband for you. God, meet me in the break room in fifteen minutes. I'll be waiting..."
You may defend them by saying they have to create software that has to cater to thousands of hardware changes, but the truth is I have only ever had ONE phone that served me well, years ago- It was an LG G3 (Or G4, not sure, owned them both, one sucked, the other was wonderful). That phone was fast, stable, and when it did give me issues, "Updates" usually fixed them- rather than becoming "Slowdates" that lag the phone and create entirely new problems.
So, I have owned one phone out of forty that provided me with a somewhat decent experience.
So yeah. I'm done with Android and Windows. Windows, the brainchild of a horny control freak, constantly asking you to log into your Microsoft account with endless annoying popups so he can keep track of everything you do (Sound familiar? Android and Windows are two peas in a pod. They both need to be broken up like Ma Bell, because they are the very definition of the word monopoly)
Yes, yes, I know Apple also mines your data. But, there is a sense of community there- yes, also snobbiness, but I will take snobbiness over incompetency- at least their shit works.
I'll sell everything I own to dive head-first into the Apple marketplace, just to escape the endless frustration and sorrow that is Android and Windows. Until that day I must wade through the Abomination of Desolation (Yes, even the Bible speaks of Android and Windows, not even God can ignore how bad it is. God speaks to Lucifer, but throws up in his mouth a little when he thinks about Android)
You may have had nothing but smooth sailing and good luck with Android, and if so, good for you. It has NOT been my experience. I can't be alone in that.
Anyway that's my little rant on the trash O/S. You have to remember something. It isn't an operating system. It's a data mining program designed to distract you from the fact that it's literally tracking everything you say, see, do and look at for the purposes of selling that to make money. That's not the worst part, the worst part is that we literally have no choice, no alternative. There is no Linux for phones. Best we can hope for is a root- and manufacturers are making that more and more impossible.
Until a balance is found I am going to do everything I can to invest fully in Apple. As I said. At least their shit works.
Have a wonderful day =)
