Android or Iphone? that's the question?

My wife and me have Androids phones, but now she wants an Iphone because everybody has it. She asked for my opinion. I don't like it and I don't want to give her a totally bias answer. What should I tell her? That she's going to be constrained and loose her personal touch?

    tell her this - when the iphone 4s was released, it had several issues. 1. the batteries were overheating and there were even a couple that blew up in peoples faces literally. 2. 50% of the screens on the 4s went out within 2 weeks of people buying them. 3. after a few weeks, siri stopped working for everyone with the 4s. 4. I've seen more people with cracked iphone screens than any other phone...

    when the ipad 3 came out recently, it also had a problem with the batteries overheating and a lot of people had issues connecting to wifi

    don't forget the antenna problem in the iphone 4

    moral of the story - apple makes faulty equipment and charges more for it than any android phone - I personally use an android and would never even consider switching to iphone. with android, you can choose from LOTS of different phones, iphone only has iphone... in an android phone, if your battery goes bad, you can get a new battery and replace it without paying someone to take the phone apart to replace the battery.

    summary:

    iphones = faulty, minimal selection of phones, battery issues, small screen, super expensive, internal memory ONLY.

    android = GREAT selection of phones by different manufacturers, change your own battery, bigger screens, more free apps in the market, not as expensive, work just as well as (in most cases better than) iphones, sd cards.

    Let me know if this helps - I hope this will convince her to stay away from the dark side.

    memory wise, android smart phones have expandable memory while iphone does not have one.

    as to variety, there are A LOT of android phones out there to suit your specific needs unlike iphone

    to affordability, some android phone cost lesser than an iphone

    to downloads, you could load a lot of FREE application on the android market

    lastly, as to strength, smartphones are less sensitive than iphones

    Show her one of those drop comparison videos. (4 ft drops decimate iphone 4s, but most androids are completely unscathed). I can't help but cringe...

    Maybe that will help... Sorry I don't have a link to one, but if you search youtube, they do exist.
