Noob questions regarding general Android, laucher and Lock screen app/widget

Hi All,

First of all this forum has been really great. Since i've bought myself my first ever android device, i chose to go for this beauty (Note 4). Loving the device but not really that convinced why Android is better than iOS....

Another thing that Android can do that iOS devices can't is NFC (Nearfield Communication). Basically it's like Bluetooth but has more features and capabilities.

Watch this video for an explanation. It's 2 years old but still a good explanation.

iOS actually has NFC too but Apple choose to lock it down so that it could only be used for Apple Pay. Like I mentioned above, this is another example of freedom (Android) vs no freedom (iOS) or you decide (Android) vs you have no choice (iOS).
