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.
