One of us would explain it, but with you as a "Flames fan", there really is no point.

I'll say! Apple has done a great job of convincing their fans that they are the only provider that can do things that are actually pretty ubiquitous.

so say when someone calls you on your android phone, can you take the call on your windows/mac pc? can you text someone back on your windows/mac pc?

I have a Note 4 and still can't get Lollipop.

tbh you dont want it….

i got it the other day for my Note 3..

it feels WAYYY to must like its trying to be a Apple OS.:swearing:

Actually, yes.

Great job reinforcing KenN's point.

without installing anything? right out of the box?

The spec of Apple hardware is embarrassing when compared alongside Android equivalents. However, in my opinion the quality of the Android experience varies greatly with the hardware. I had a Droid razr HD (made and sold during the period that Motorola was owned by Google) that was an absolute piece. It would constantly overheat, crash and stall, and battery life was sporadic at best. I tried numerous tricks to fix it to no avail, until one day it just refused to boot up.

In contrast, I now have a Nexus 5 which is far from state of the art these days and it's fantastic. Smooth and fast. Everything working as intended. Interfaces with my Samsung TV and does all that I ask of it. Also, drag and drop file compatibility with Ubuntu, exactly as it should be.

Do you not install anything on your macbook or your iPhone?

So a brand new iPhone user wouldn't have to install iTunes on their PC/Mac?

There is very little that ANY premium smartphone can do that other premium smartphones can't do as well. Be it Apple or Android.

FYI, I've been sending and receiving texts on my PC for well over four years now, I've been making phone calls on my cell through my PC since 2013.

Why does anyone make calls on their computer?

I've done it several times for long conference calls. Much better volume from PC speakers than from my handset.

I can't wait until the iPhone gets OEM wireless charging so we can all here about this great new game changing feature :lol:

but you needed to make it work by yourself. that's the difference. you can always tinker something together by yourself, but how many ppl do that outside of the enthusiasts world? at some point in your life you want it to just work out of the box, that's at least how i feel about it. configuring stuff isn't something the user should be bothered with imho.
