I came up with a list of why I got the iphone over an android phone. Are any of these reasons factually inaccurate?
‎1. I can keep it stock and it works like promised. With the Droid phones you have to root to get them to work are promised
‎2. Battery life on an iphone is MUCH better than that of a droid. I do not want to get an extended battery that makes the phone look pregnant. I am looking at you HTC T-Bolt
‎3. Only the iphone allows you to shut down the Apps. With Android the apps are constantly running in the background and will only shut down once the RAM memory is full and you command another App. That is the way the system is designed to work. IMO, that is the reason for the battery drain on the droid phones. BTW, task killers do not work on later version of Android software.
‎4. The Apple store is right there next to you so you can take the phone to them to get it fixed in case you want to. I am told they are VERY good at customer service.
‎5. While the Android 2.2 and 3.1 have more bells and whistles (widgets, better notification, customization), the iOS is just SMOOTH and has no glitchs in its operation. It works all the time everytime. It rarely freezes or hesitates. You do not need to root/jailbreak at all.
‎6. BLOATWARE. Droid phones on verizon have up to 17 pre-installed Apps that you CANNOT remove. That eats a lot of memory. Since Apple is in control with the iphone, the pre-installed Apps are kept to a bare minimum. I will have to root the Droid to get rid of the bloatware. I do not want to do that.
‎7. Resale value. Iphones are introduced yearly and have great re-sale value. By contrast, there is a droid phone introduced on VZ every month. Since March I have seen 5 new VZ droids introduced: Thunderbolt, Charge, LG Revolution, Droid X2, Droid Inc2. They reproduce like rabbits and soon the mother company forgets about them.
‎8. App store has 500,000 screened apps. There is little room to introduce malware into your iphone. With the Android App Market, anyone can create an App and you risk viruses. Google just removed Apps from the store that had viruses in them. I do not want to deal with that.
Are there any other reasons that I missed?
