Many people here think google is better than apple cause android doesn't block bitcoin apps. But when I use my android I hate it how google demands in every move to verifcate myself with my google-account. It's really dangerous how google made us dependent on our google-accounts. Too many people in the bitcoin-sphere use gmail and google analytics and google drive and google script to store bitcoin data without thinking about it.
I realize this is a bit offtopic here, but http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
You can install cyanogenmod without installing the Google spyware garbage afterwards. The obvious downside is that you limit yourself to the free appstore https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/ and apps where you can download the .apk directly (like http://mycelium.com/ btc wallet etc). You can not use the Google Pray Store without having the Google Spyware Services on your device but you can choose not to submit to the Google Surveillance System.
The beauty of Android devices is that you get hardware that mostly allows you to change the software. The spy-ware ridden software bundled with that hardware is not.
If you do not like the Google World Order and/or do not like fascism and total surveillance then you should just replace the software on your Android device(s) and not use any of their services. It really is that simple.
If you do not mind having access to a much more limited number of applications and you like freedom then you should switch to cyanogenmod or similar. It works for me but it may not work for you, this is a very personal choice. Most people are so conditioned by television that they prefer fascism and surveillance so I understand if that is your preference.
CyanogenMod is probably the most widely known After Market Android ROM, but I recently came across Carbon, which seems to be a better choice:

You can even restrict app permissions
