So can anyone explain this tribal allegiance to either Android or IoS and why it seems so venomous?

It's what people prefer or dislike, often felt passionately when their choice is dismissed.

I dislike Apple for more technical reasons than most on here would care to understand. I also believe the iPhone in the past few years have been mediocre upgrades, this year more so than ever. Forget that it only has a 4" screen, it doesn't have wireless charging or NFC which are the two hottest bits of tech to have, all the top of the range mobiles have it bar the 6 5 - and from the front it does look like a stretched out 4/4S, which looks silly.

Heyho, I'll be sticking with my plastic POS that's fully kitted out with the latest technology, superb battery life (yes, better than the 5 despite it's larger screen) and a fantastic 720p display. for now at least, until we'll see what the Lumia 920 and Ativ S are like.

It happens when you compare anything; cars, games consoles etc etc

It does seem to border on the ridiculous sometimes though  :undecided:

I bought an S2 for me and the 4S for the Girlfriend last year. To be honest there wasn't much in it except iPhone had Siri and the S2 had a much, much better camera!

Apple has been renowned for bringing something new and innovative to the table.. this time it hasn't. Even lots of Apple fans i have been speaking to aren't impressed and have said they will either stick to the 4S or go to the S3.

If anything it's not Droid fanbois saying anything. They are just picking up that Apple have failed by their on standards. It's as simple as that.

Getting my upgrade next month. More than happy with the iPhone 3 that I have had for 3 years and the service from Apple is the best customer care I have ever experienced.  No quibble is the best policy.

iPhone 5 here I come.

I wouldnt say anyone is being a fanboi... its just difficult to understand why someone would pay more for an inferior product.
