So your great argument for android is that it allows you to steal content from its creators?

Ok, being able to change how your device looks and runs can be fun and in some cases legitimately advancing users experience, but it can also cause devices to function poorly and become susceptible to malware.

frick iTunes, but most users don't interact with iTunes anymore, it exists as a sort of safety net.

Fundamentally, Android and iOS are closer than they have been in years. The simplicity and ease of use that was emblematic of the original release of iOS has been obscured by the many useful(ish) features that have been added in the decade since its introduction. Android meanwhile has always been saddled with performance issues and full of some concepts that were clearly half-baked when shipped, which has since been systematically improved.

The biggest difference between android and iOS that has always existed is that a brand new iPhone 6S will get updates till at least 2020, which is unfortunately not the same for android users. And before calling me a fanboy, I do have multiple iOS and Android devices and have come to a startling conclusion, a smartphone is just a smartphone.

TL;DR It's a phone that looks a bit different have fun doing basically the same things you used to do with small differences here and there.
