Lol, fair enough, my evidence is just as anecdotal in that my Nexus 5 shit itself in like half a year but my mom's had her iPhone for two and has had zero issues.

Tech is whack, yo.

Your Nexus 5 prolly cost half what her iPhone cost. I've got an OPO and a N6 right here and both of them together don't add up to a six plus.

You're not wrong. And the 16 gig price point is bullshit.

But again, Apple's got its hands all up on my crotch right now. The only laptop I have is Mac-based and it does not play well with my N5. Google Music? It shits itself on my Mac now. And my Nexus can't hold music for shit when I'm using iTunes, so I have to use my shattered-ass iPod touch to play music, meaning I'm carrying two devices when I should only be using one. Any iPad apps I'm getting now have iPhone equivalents that are wasting away. So on, so forth.

Holy fuck they're STILL selling a 16GB phone? What is this, 2007?

Google Music is bullshit on desktop. However, it syncs quite nicely with iTunes. And your Nexus doesn't need to hold anything, as you can stream over wifi (or if you're on TMobile, cellular without charge).

There are plenty of iPad apps that don't exist on Android and it is not a seamless experience, but I'm seeing exactly nothing to draw me back in the fold. I haven't even looked at the new thing yet.

Amatuers. I'm still running a laptop that is so old, it's ram is measured in mb.
