Te pendulum has swung to Android now
With the uproar about the colour scheme from Apple having customisable themes and colours on this OS means many users will be keen to convert over.
Who would have thought Android would attract whilst standing still? The market expected something great from Apple but even developers seem to dislike it? Thoughts? |

If you don't like a thread the worst thing you can do is reply as that just keeps bumping it up.
I used to hate iOS now I am just indifferent. Using a 4S yesterday was very strange with that tiny screen. |

Hmmmm lots of sites have the iPhone 4 as sold out/ best seller at the moment a 2010 phone, sales of iphone 4s and 5 good, yeah apple is doomed....
People flick/swap/change between things all the time. I Switched from Android to iOS this year, yeah i might not be able to customise it as much, but i can do what i need, and things hardly crash in comparison, much better experience. I think people who would normally have bought feature phones are getting bottom end android phones, but not really using any smart features, just using it as a phone, and thats why its numbers are growing so fast. As Tim Cook said, where are these android devices? They are not showing up as much as you would think in web traffic when compared to amount of devices sold, and internet sales done on iphones/ipads is double that of android even though there is less of them. |

Yeah.. seeing as Andriods flagship phone has had sales forecasts cut in recent days and heavy discounts applied.. after only TWO months of being released! I'd say Apple are doing just fine.

The S4 is Samsung's flagship, not androids. Android's flagship is the nexus 4. But otherwise I agree Apple are doing fine.
I'd consider Samsung if the screen was smaller and the build quality improved. |

That's like saying the Microsoft Surface is Microsofts flagship, not Windows's |

Linkinpark875 is known for his obsessions and repetitive posts in this forum. It's best to ignore.
But it's strange how he's gone from being an Apple lover/Android Hater to an Android lover/Apple Hater just because of a few small changes. |

I'm an android user for years now but don't you think people will want to continue to use their iDevices and apps they've paid for rather throw it all away because of the colour of the icons? Sure people may move to Android because they liked some particular hardware or they got a good deal on something. But not because of a colour scheme!!

No it's not. Besides the Surface, there isn't really a "flagship" Windows tablet.

A little bit of perspective...
Some more perspective... Having been using iOS7, although some of the icons could be better, the apps themselves are looking really good. When it comes to Apple, there's nothing like a complete over reaction by the internet on one thing, whilst ignoring the bigger picture. |

Google make develop Android and develop and get LG to make LG - so not sure I see how the Nexus 4 is not the flagship Android device.

Your post doesn't make sense. But as I said previously, Google's flagship is the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is not the only Android flagship as Google also authorise Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony etc to use Google services on their builds of Android. Their most powerful devices are also flagship Android devices as a result. There is no one device that is fully representative of Android. The Nexus 4 is just Google's vision for Android.

I think the OP described the S4 as the flagship offering simply because it is the most popular and talked about one.

I never disputed that at all. On the contrary in fact. My point is that there is more than one flagship for the Android platform.
I agree that the nexus series are The flagship Android devices, and I have a Nexus 4 phone as I know it's the pure Android experience I get. Also I know it will always be the first to get any OS updates |
