You know, it just occurred to me that Apple Zombies are very much like Jeep Zombies - no amount of evidence will convince them the object of their fixation is a huge steaming pile of shit!
 Maybe the noise of their ballgargling is too distracting?

The most egregious use of statistics I've seen in a while.
At most, this could be used to show that among users of FixYa, an iPhone is the most reliable. There is no breakdown by model, only by manufacturer. What are the demographics of FixYa users, locations worldwide? And yes, iPhones do tend to be more reliable. |

Not at all surprising when you take it as a platform.
Apple is the only hardware maker, and they control the OS and everything it does. It SHOULD be the most reliable. It would be very sad if it were not. |

I have a Droid device that freezes and has to be hard rebooted a minimum of once a day.
I also have 2 iDevices personally, and another 4 in my immediate family - none of which have to be rebooted but maybe once a year and never freeze. Go figure.... |

I love my Jeep because it's fun as hell and makes me smile every time I drive it. I love it because of its limitations; I am not blind to them. Most other Jeep owners I know are the same way. |

I won't argue with this. They make the hardware and the software it better be reliable. It is also a simpler, less complex os therefore it has less customization and capabilities, making it more stable. Phone choices are also take it or leave it they won't let other OEMs use their OS. Gotta weigh your options. For me.. I'll take freedom and customization and deal with a random crash or reboot every now and then.

OS on Blackberry was never something I looked into - it was something that was taken care of by the IT teams who managed the phones and data links. Had a lot of hardware and software issues - not app related, just really crap performance by comparison with other phones and platforms I've had. |

This comes as no surprise, and at the same time it means absolutely nothing if you know anything about smartphones and the market... Go on... Okay I'll do a quick breakdown, at least as much to get the gist of it. iPhone is a proprietary phone. It has a dedicated OS with dedicated hardware to go with it. Android has several tailored "versions" of the current version of the OS. Think Touchwiz for Samsung phones etc... iPhone is also just that, iPhone. There is no iPhone Razr or iPhone One or iPhone Note.. Etc. Android has magnitudes more phones that it runs on, not all of which are tailored to the current version of the OS. Thus manufacturers have to "modify" the OS slightly to run better on those phones. This is largely why "Android" phones, which really isn't the correct term because we don't call iPhones "iOS phones" (for obvious reasons), are less "reliable". Really it makes sense and it comes as no surprise to me that iPhones, based on this particular type of subjective data collection, comes out to be more "reliable". Basically this representation of data is super subjective. Edit: Before the butthurt ensues, just know that iPhones are successful because of how proprietary they are. This has worked well for Apple and I'm not dissing that at all. If Android did this I think you would see quite different results. In fact Google is doing this with their Nexus and new Google "Network". Which is why Nexus is one of the best pieces of hardware running android right now, and I would suffice to say just as reliable as the iPhone |

That's because there's too many different devices running Google's Android. And google can't stop the carrier's from customizing it.
All the hardware differences result in terrible, inconsistent reliability. I still have an iphone 4S from work. It's STILL getting updates from Apple (9.xx currently). Buy a Samsung phone, get updates for the first 15 months, then nothing until your time is up to suffer with faulty hardware and software. It's astonishing how bad Samsung and the major brands are. My Note 2, great at first. But after so many updates that just kept wrecking it, it was a burden to do anything on it. Getting the fucking dialpad up(yes, I wiped the phone clean) took approximately 7-8 seconds just to appear. Iphone 4S as dated as it is, almost instantaneously appears. And Google's services are going to shit. Maps is worse than ever, navigation is a cluster to operate. My next personal phone will be an iphone after 5 terrible google phones. |

Don't forget that, since Apple's market share is minuscule compared to Android or Windows OS PCs, people who make viruses, malware etc. don't target Apple products as frequently so Apple products are less likely to suffer performance issues derived from nasty bugs. Quote HistoryQuoted:
