I think that is fair because different strokes....

The iPhone vs. Android vs. WindowsPhone debate is a waste of time. All 3 have strengths and weaknesses. All 3 can deliver a great smartphone experience to the right user. I've used all 3 and may use any and all in the future. It's been a while since I've used an iPhone but when the iPhone 6 comes out with a 5" screen and hopefully a better looking os than 7, who knows, I may get one. Right now I'm happy with my Nokia 1520 WindowsPhone and I'm struggling with the decision to sell my mint condition LG G2. I love that Android but I don't see myself going back to it after using this 6" WP beast.

There are more customization options in Android, therefore iOS is less complex than Android. Some people just don't want to tweak their phone and mess with settings.

They're stupider. Not simpler.

IPhones are stupider...for you...or for everyone? (hint: everyone is millions upon millions of people whose preferences and needs we don't know).

They're stupider for anyone who suffers any type of mental confusion. It's easier to choose from 3 or 4 icons on a screen which a person may use daily than a dozen s/he doesn't.

But you don't have to tweak if you'd rather not. I just don't understand this whole misperception. Just because you can...
As I have aged and been through illness and other strange things, my mind is more foggy than before. If I have to look at a screenful of icons I get dizzy, even if I usually remember what I want and where it is.
If I couldn't make the screen easier to use I'd rather use a feature phone. This is why I think it's insane to say I phones are simpler. They're just not. They're stupider. Not simpler.

You do have to tweak Android phones to take full advantage of the OS. Otherwise, we would all be using unrooted devices with the same launchers and icons.
I'm not an apple fan, but I can still objectively look at the iPhone and see why certain people would prefer it over an Android device. Some just want the entire Apple experience, while others like the UI and the industrial design of the 5s.

So what about iPhone users that arrange their most used icons on one screen (or in a folder) and their less loved icons on another screen or in a folder?
TBH this particular feature seems simpler in iOS as the creation of new screens happens just by dragging an icon over to the edge of the last screen (I may be mistaken), but is accomplished in multiple different ways in Android depending on the launcher and the ROM.
I'm certainly no genius and I'm sure many here might say I'm quite confused but iOS doesn't seem stupider to me...just different and I like to tinker as much as the next guy.

I didn't know you could create folders on iPhone. That's not what I've heard but if it can be done that's a plus.

Yes iOS copied this from Android. Just drop one icon on top of another and a folder is born.

I'm not sure Apple copied anything from Android. You do know that Android development was completely redesigned when the iPhone came out. The design team scrapped what they had and started over. Android is a copy of IOS.

Wean yourself off Apple products. By this I mean things like e-mail and Texting. Download Google apps (GMail, Hangouts, Maps, Drive, ect) and start using them in place of Apple alternatives.So, right now I can't really switch to a android phone. I have a 5S on the ATT next program and I can't switch to a android phone either until I pay the iPhone off fully or unless I get a off contract phone like the nexus 5 or moto G. But what are my options right now so I do t become further entrenched in apple land?
Yes. Unless they are vital.Stop buying apps on my iPhone and ipad?
My advice is to wait and save for a Nexus 5. Avoid buying apps until you switch over.Get a moto g and use it because it's cheaper than a nexus 5, or just save for a nexus 5? I already own a nexus 7, so just start buying apps on that instead?
Android apps are quickly catching up to iOS. The Android UI has matured to the point where iOS no longer has a clear lead. The Nexus 5 is extremely smooth and fast, and does so without the compromises iOS was forced to make.The thing with apple is I think they make solid products, it's just I believe right now at this point in my life i don't really want to feel trapped in a ecosystem. I'd rather have something with a few issues instead of a lack of excitement. And I'm continuing to find android to be more exciting than iOS. I still think ios has more beautiful apps, but I think it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
