    It is very relevant to this discussion. Hows a 4 year old device getting most recent Android update being opposite to the general experience of Android, I am not sure. iOS update schedules are less frequent than Android if you look at the build history of both OS's. Since Android is open source, it doesn't control the h/w market which means some new features simply can't be supported by older h/w. Thats not an Android issue.

    All phones costs are outright crazy anymore! You just didn't notice it as much when you thought you were getting a device for free or 299.00 you still pay for it through your bill. I bought the new iPhone, and it was a tad over a grand, but I'm not stuck in a contract.

    Well the OPT is not exactly cheap either, particularly not in the EU. I may be the exception here on the forum, but quite frankly, I would prefer to pay a few hundred euros more for something that works, integrated with my laptop and has customer support, than a bit less for a device that is full of bugs, has hardware and software issues, is not available and is "backed" by a company that has time and again shown they don't give a rat's *ss about customers...

    Apple is not crap they produce a product that works and is simple. If an issue arises they are quick to act and great customer support and actual stores to go to.

    You've just started a thread questioning and possibly insulting Apple and their prices, yet you would love to buy an iPhone 7 next year? Now I'm confused.

    Personally, I have both. I use my OnePlus Two as my work phone and my iPhone 6 as my personal phone. Love both. Both have positives and negatives. I have to say I prefer iOS, always have done, I just love the fluidity of the OS and the stability associated with it.

    I am sorry, but I couldnt follow clearly. I did say there are a lot of builds for each major version for Android. I was saying that its actually more frequent than iOS and Android releases them more frequently than OEM releases.

    Please don't count Android pure releases as if they were released to users as Apple does ;)
    And about mayor versions, still Apple has more mayor releases than Android. iOS 9 > Marshmallow (AKA Android 6)

    I use both ios and Android and I prefer Android. There is so much more I can do without unrooting. After Ios 8, my devices have not been great. I've stopped upgrading as Apple removes signing of OS so quickly just so that they can say upgrade to new OS is x%. Aplle support was useless, they told me to by a new device? I would have loved to downgrade my iPad 4 to IOS 7, its still buggy after numerous attempts to resolve. My IPad Air 2 is still on ios 8.3, no need for Apple Music once they tried to monopolize the music streaming business by trying to get the music industry to not allow others to offer free 3 months. Even now, you cannot watch the free concerts unless you have Apple Music....

    It is impossible to like both. You must choose one, then refuse to accept the other has good points. :rolleyes:
