Manly Hanley Podcast - Season 1, Episode 9 - Android vs. iOS, Mac vs. PC: Choose Your Battle!
1Today it's about Mac vs PC and Android vs iOS. I'm going to bring up the differences between them that are obvious to me and why I may prefer one over the other.

Mac vs PC - or Mac OS vs Windows
• Mac is not the most secure solution - That's an old claim.
○ 10 Years ago, Wikimedia polled some internet traffic - https://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/squid_reports/2009-04/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm and found that Windows visitors made up 90% of the traffic.
• Apple hypes up their speeds - Macs are SLOWER than PCs. Here’s why. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=947op8yKJRY&feature=youtu.be
○ Louis Rossmann, has multiple videos ( https://youtu.be/--TZHAoKJu8What did they get wrong? ) where he demonstrates how Apple makes repairs nearly impossible to accomplishHis repair shop:(https://rossmanngroup.com/ )
○ Microsoft is bringing back Power Toys! - https://www.pcmag.com/news/368234/microsoft-brings-back-powertoys-for-windows-10 - This is such an awesome throw-back that geeks, like myself, will not want to pass up. I feel like Power Toys kind of gave us that level of customization that a geek may feel is missing out-of-the-box.
Apple's iOS vs (many other manufacturers') Android
• Android sports customization and Apple sports simplicity - with a tax (they're way overpriced).
§ Even with Jailbreaking iOS, it was still lacking the basic home screen replacement possibility that Android has out of the box. With Android, you can instantly customize your phone with an app called Nova Launcher, (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en_US) It's totally awesome and makes it feel like you have a new phone.
With iOS, you're stuck with a mess of icons and folders. It hasn't changed much in 10 or so years.
• You definitely can get much more smartphone for your money with an Android-running device.
○ Google makes the Pixel 3a, which can beat the pants off any other smartphone's camera:

○ iOS has a great messaging platform: iMessage.Facebook has mentioned they're wanting to use end-to-end encryption soon, so we'll see how that goes: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/25/18197222/facebook-messenger-instagram-end-to-end-encryption-feature-zuckerberg
