Literally a day before the Apple news came out. Should I just sell it and keep my iphone 5s?

Now that you have a real phone, stand proud and throw that girl phone in the trash. You will love your Android, it will actually do what is designed to do, make you smarter.

Not like that Apple phone that will just turn you into fruit. LOL

As we can clearly see and read

most of us think Android is much more popular in the world of cryptocurrency users

And this is not only because Apple fight Bitcoin. It is because Android is pretty awesome

even if it is not perfect.

No Bitcoiner with at least some self-respect should own any of the Apple products.

Think you might be able to phrase that in a way that is not a direct personal insult? Thank you. Now fuck right off.

You'll be happier with an Android no matter what.

Well it depends on you - but android will allow you to do much more than iOS.

I am huge fan of Google's Android OS and I must say that versions >=4.1 are truly wonderful and I would never swap myself to iOS.

But I don't think iPhone sux. It is great phone. But Android is more fun

you will love it.

Regards.

The freedom of android is highly compelling. Try it out for real. It far and away has moreuseful features than iphone. I have not regretted my switch.

Only problem is that it has slow menus and all that.

It totally does not have slow menus and all that. Not any newer device.

I dumped apple because of bitcoin. Now I like my Android. I think the days of the iPhone being years ahead of the competition are over. My cheap droid basically does the same job for less.

And has a bigger screen Wink

Apple or Android, you really need a clean standalone phone with nothing on it for bitcoin, preferably will not connect to internet unless needed. So the new Android phone will still be useful for you. Now you can choose to use iPhone as an everyday phone and Android for wallet, or the other way round.

Use as a real wallet. Nothing can be more unsafe than the iPhone right now, so people better not install Bitcoin wallets on them anyway. BTW, I guess soon every other app will scan for Bitcoin apps and their priv_keys, so best not to install anything on the one used for Bitcoin.

If you like android, keep it, if not, then use iOS.

The real concern here is the security of the device you use. Ideally for any large number of bitcoins, use a non-internet connected device with nothing else on it.

But use a device that gets regular security updates if you are connecting to the internet. Check out how long, how quickly, and how often the updates are released.

Apple has so many restrictions that android does not have - your phone experience will be much happier if you keep your android. There are many apps that are just better on android because there are none of these Apple restrictions. Same apps, but better. Like Pandora, Gyft, Kindle, Amazon, eBay, the list goes on.

No Bitcoiner with at least some self-respect should own any of the Apple products. Sell your Apple Iphone 5S and keep the Android with you. You will thank me for this advice, when Bitcoin exchange rates hit $10,000 and Apple closes down its Iphone production.

You're asking if you goofed by leaving a company that can (and have) refused whole classes of applications to run on their hardware at their whim, in favor of one where you can run whatever you damn well please?

No. Definitely not.
