An Apple a day keeps user away

Dear Apple,

You suck! You tried so hard to be different with your sleek screen and multiple applications that your phone provides but now you’re losing your touch.

Android comes out with an upgraded phone and tablet almost every month and now they came out with a phone and tablet that is giving you a run for you money.

Don’t cringe when I say it but I think you know what I’m talking about, The Samsung Galaxy III.

It’s leaving your products in the dust and making sure Apple becomes the product that is thrown to the side along with the pagers and two ways.

Yes the Galaxy is similar in physical appeal with the icons and white body of the phone but there is something that many didn’t know.

Android has been helping Apple with their model. According to a 2012 article with PC Mag, Samsung has been making many of the iPhone components including the custom CPU.

I consider this situation to be dire for Apple.

The iPhone 5 will soon fall to Android and it will be the end of the iPhone. To tell you the truth the iPhone 5 just can’t compete with the latest Android handset.

Android has been providing a faster CPU for about a year now while Apple is a year late and $199 short according to the Christian Science Monitor website.

The iPhone 5 still has a small screen with a  3.5 inch to a 4 inch display, but in the smartphone world the Android is winning.

The screen range from 4.8 inch to 5.5 inches.

A larger screen makes videos more exciting, text easier to read and keys easier to hit when sending out a text.

Yes Apple products are solid and does what the product is sought out to do, but  Android is meant to evolve and be ever changing.

It provides way more free apps and you can choose which model you would like to pick from unlike Apple which has only one model provided for customers.

iPhone is all about apps while Android is about opportunities.

Now on to your iPad which you manufactured so much it is considered perfect to Apple lovers eyes.

First lets start with the physical features if the iPad.

USB ports, SD card slot, flash and other features are not included in any model of the well known Apple product which many believe will not ever be on the list of add ons for the company.

If you are after functionality, versatility, and would like to customize what your tablet looks and behaves like, then you would wise to consider an Android tablet.

Android has finally matured to become both a powerful, robust, and slick operating system that can compete toe to toe with the Apple’s latest and greatest.

Here are two key reasons why Android’s tablet is better than the iPad according to a 2012 article from Android Authority website.

One is the size. A lot of people find it difficult to travel around with a heavy laptop.

With a big screen which varies with the Android tablet of your choice. Apple on the other hand, only comes in one size.

There is no syncing involved with that andriod. Apple owners always complain about one big thing, syncing.

In order to stay updated with the new trend Apple sends out many syncing updates

Apple has, historically, always wanted owners of their products to update to the latest revision of their software, for obvious reasons

With Android tablets you can purchase the apps from the Google Play Market, download them and send them to your tablet without the need to sync it.

So Apple. Before you go out spreading the rumor that you are better than Android just do your research.

Well you might want to research why Android keeps evolving while you stay a figment in the past.

Love,

An Android User!
