I'm an Android fan, and agree with your friend, but this argument is also old, true but old.But they take Android and make it better...that's what an Isheep friend told me..I wanted to smash his iPhone into the ground but i was to busy laughing...he tripped and dropped his new 6+ and did it for me....karma..
That's a fully two-way street. If not with Android itself, with Android oems vs. Apple at least. My Droid X had panorama assist long before the iPhone ever got it. But when Apple announced it and made commercials for that version of the iPhone to be the first to come with it, they made commercials specifically touting the panorama feature of the camera.I'm an Android fan, and agree with your friend, but this argument is also old, true but old.

How about notifications? Suddenly, years after Android debuted with a notification shade, Apple comes up with a similar, but imo less useful "notification center" years later.
While I'm not trying to argue that the Android team and Android manufacturers have or haven't taken cues from Apple, an Apple fanboy's interpretation of the situation is that Android has done nothing but copy Apple and Apple's never done the same.
That's just not true.
I say they lack innovation now..and grab what they can and "try" to improve it..lots of times their version lacks functionality ..his words. So I asked..if it lacks functionality.. How does it improve anything..? Also. They're doing it to features we've had for years..Google wallet..now that there's apple pay..everyone is jumping..but we got Android pay which is more secure and easier to use..I'm an Android fan, and agree with your friend, but this argument is also old, true but old.
So true, We have a Chinese exchange student, everything she has is Apple, computer, 2 tablets, 2 phones, one Chinese, one US(ATT).Apple has done a great job marketing their products. Here in Asia, owning an iPhone has become a status symbol. Especially with the high school and college group.
I think owning an Apple product even in the US is still considered a status symbol. It comes with less "prestige", so to speak, but it's definitely still a status symbol.Apple has done a great job marketing their products. Here in Asia, owning an iPhone has become a status symbol.
