[QUOTE="MuzzMelbourne, post: 1045223, member: 94561"] I have never owned an Android phone. But, when I buy something I generally do a bit of research and with this, as it relates to mobile phone's, you quickly find out, Android phone's, lack a decent device-wide ecosystem, for the most part, security patches are rare and/or sporadic, the hardware and OS are usually from different companies and not necessarily 'matched' for maximum performance, the app store is full of malware/viruses/scams and non-functional stuff with zero quality control, the preloaded OS comes with huge amounts of bloatware(60Gb in the latest Samsung flagship I believe) and covert data collection functions enabled by default, poor build quality/life cycle for non-flagship devices and next to no resale value. Apple suffers from non of these issues, so why would I want to own an Android phone? Congratulations on your phone. Obviously what I have outlined doesn't apply to every Android phone. But I don't think I'm guilty of being the only person on MT that takes the liberty of occasionally generalising things... [/QUOTE]
