The iPhone 6S and 6S+ are unofficial water resistant.. dunno why Apple did not make it official last year.
Well yes and no. iPhones got a bad rep because of the glass back they once had, and what Samsung has now on its 7... and yes people are talking about how easy it is to crack the Galaxy 7 screen. Problem is with both.. it is design. If we look at the iPhone the design is the problem. When you drop a phone the weakest link breaks first.. it is logical engineering. Now on the iPhone because it is in a metal frame and back, the first thing that breaks is... the screen. Now Apple fanboys have long made fun of the "plastic phones" that Samsung and others pushed out, but the thing is.. they dont break nearly as easily, because if you drop it, then they plastic breaks apart first. I have dropped my "plastic" phones many times, and the weak link.. the back, always poped off first and "softened" the damage.
Okay here you have been eating the Apple juice a tad too much. Support.. yes you have the Apple store, but they are hardly as "friendly" as their reputation gives them. They are trained to spot certain issues that can make Apple money, and void the warranty. Case in point. A couple of years ago there was a major fault with MacBooks graphics cards. Apple denied there was a problem for years and used excuses like "water damage" to void the warranty... it happened to me. Then when a class action lawsuit was threatened, then suddenly the tune changed, but that was several years after the MacBook version had gone out of production...
And then there is the iCloud.. the absolute worst piece of **** out there. DO NOT TRUST IT. My cousin just switched her company iPhone 6s to her personal 6s. Now she was worried that her stuff would not transfer. I said, dont worry, we can check if your iCloud has backed up your contacts and other stuff.. no you could not. I went on the webpage and the contacts was blank! Not even her notes were there.. yes iCloud sync was on. So we had to go to alternatives to make sure we had her contacts.. download them to file.. not easy on an iPhone! So we used Gmail to make sure that her contacts were somewhere..that worked perfectly. So we switch sims, fought with the iPhone setup and password bull**** (it is beyond annoying) and we were pleased that the contacts did transfer from the iCloud. My point is.. in all other systems you can see what you have on your cloud account.. not with iCloud it seems.
and moving from phone to phone on Android is far more simple than in the Apple universe. Add Gmail account.. bam done. Takes no time. Not so on Apple.. the amount of legal bull****, fighting with Apple authentication servers and all the problems involved with the iCloud crap.. just not worth the hassle. For one.. can you set up your iPhone without a sim? NOOOOOOOPE! You can with Android.
Actually not exactly true. The reason that it came out was so Apple could cover its legal butt.. The flaw had existed in iOS for many years and was used to spy on Apple users.. in fact I would not be surprised if that flaw was used to hack US government iPhones. What it puts in question yet again is their internal code checking. Remember last year, we learned that SSL on iOS devices had been deactivated for years.. As for malware, one could argue most of Apples own programs are malware
cause they suck so much!
, but malware on Android is miss-represented. Where does it happen 99% of the time.. China. Why? Because most Chinese Android phones use local Chinese non approved app stores.
