These are only shipments though

a) We can watch YouTube links on our iPhones. ATRL is the one that uses old YouTube coding for threads. Other forums it works fine. It's ATRL that needs to update.

b) There are 8 iPhones. There are millions of Androids. Yet iOS still has a quarter of the Pie.

So even though Apple have only released 8 iOS phones, yet there have been millions of Android phones, I'd say Apple is winning by a long shot.

Sis, let's not act like Android isn't winning in every area of the market.

A quarter of 100% is 25% not 14%.

Apple also had a year and a half headstart to deal with Android but they failed. They tried to branch out with the iPhone 5C but it was a major flop.

That's before we talk about how Google is still profiting from iOS devices, thanks to its superior Maps application and other Android services it has ported to iOS.

All your point proves is that Apple haven't learned from their mistakes in the PC market. The exact same thing happened in that market. Android = Windows.

I've had both and I choose iOS... easily.

I like iOS the best, of course I have mine jailbroken so it's not really fair

iOS is a better and more consistent OS and its written from scratch for smartphones

Android its like a Linux distribution, its based on Linux core/kernel, everything is much more variable too, each brand makes its own modification for their own hardware, and most of times homemade Android versions (custom ROMs) are better optimized than original ones that come with the phone

Android is cooler for people who want to customize and modify, because its more unlocked and free, but iOS is a better OS overall

Android

iOS is more optimized, easier to use, has a better design, better apps, and runs on only the best hardware

I've used both and I prefer iOS simply because it does what it's supposed to do very well and is the better running OS. However, some people love customization over performance and it would make sense for them to prefer Android. To each their own. Both solid operating systems.

Exactly.

1. These are shipments, not sales.

2. iOS is limited to iPhones only, so of course Android will have more, because it's available on many different phones.

iPhone is still the best selling phone on the planet and one of the best selling products of all time. Androids only beat iOS in terms of amount of users is because there are hundreds of different Android phones available, many free ones even, and options that include $20 pay phones you can buy from a dollar store. iOS is found on three phones being sold today: iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, and iPhone 4S. This is a stupid point that doesn't accomplish anything.
