Ever since I got an iPhone, Iā€™ll never go back to an Android. I really love the iPhone.

I prefer Android because I can theoretically use DroidScript to write simple programs on it until Google declares it malware again. I get so sick of decision makers trying to keep mobile software development out of the hands of the masses. Apple has no shame about that

I have had iPhones for a while now.

Good quality phones, with a lot of features

Pricey, but for the ease of use and the fact it connects to my iMac, iCloud and Apple Watch makes it very appealing

The eco-system is by far the most useful to me

I also managed to get a @me.com email with my full name without a dot or a space included

I use iPhone. Recently upgraded to the iPhone 13 pro.

I have thought about going to android but it would be a change maybe I would regret. I am set in my ways.

I like my iPhone 12 but regret buying it. I paid $900 and all I use on it is about 6 functions and a few apps. Technically, the lady at Best Buy said the whole thing needs to be replaced because the ā€œ1ā€ key on the keypad doesnā€™t work on prompts on telephone calls. Yeah, weird, I know. I found on phone calls that the ā€œ1ā€ key will work on prompts if I press ā€œspeakerphoneā€ first. But I hear Android phones are OK-and cheaper. Wish I would have gotten one of those instead.

Thanks for posting this.

I was working today on using DroidScript to implement a mini language Iā€™ve already implemented in Python, and it was taking me a little time to implement a ā€˜splitā€™ function that would truly split a string into an array based on white space.

Then, I listened to what I said above. Google might arbitrarily declare DroidScript malware again at any time, so why am I wasting my time? I need to go to a different plan, I think.

Thanks again.

Whatā€™s the purpose of your language, @Clint ? Is it truly a new language, or just a library on top of an existing one?

My heart says IPhone but my head says Android. So I voted IPhone.

It is a mini language. Iā€™ve mentioned here about being able to preserve my poetry and songs through memorization. The purpose of the language is to convert simple code into poetry for memorization.

Oh wow thatā€™s a noble pursuit. Let us know how it goes, maybe you can even show us how it works once itā€™s ready!

Iā€™ve only had iPhones in more than 10 years.

If Iā€™m happy about a product, Iā€™m extremely loyal and disregard the fact that they are pricey.

My current iPhone is an iPhone 12 and cost me 800-900ā‚¬.

My four main uses for my phone:

  1. Photography
  2. Music player
  3. Reminders (mostly through my watch)
  4. Online banking

The part I use least and hate most is the actual phone itself. Donā€™t phone me if itā€™s not an emergency. Also, donā€™t phone me if itā€™s an emergency as I canā€™t help you.

Android. Iā€™ll never buy another apple product, or service. Itā€™s all a grift. Once you buy one, you have to continue to buy into other apple services. I like having other options.

My last iPhone was iPhone 4 but I like freedom and more functionality so switched to Android. I hated using iTunes. With Android the storage is detected as a drive by Windows and you just drop anything you want unlike iTunes. It feels faster and you can use up to a 1Tb microsd. Downloads are easier etc You can also install .apk files outside the play store for let say location restricted apps etc
