If you could install Android on your iPhone 6, would you?

[HAWK]

It amazes me how so many like to squabble about the smartphones. This one's better than that one. That one stinks. This one is great. Etc. I recall the days of driving around looking for a pay phone. There were no smartphones. No flip phones. Just landlines and pay phones. So I look at what is available today, and guess what? They're all wonderful. The iPhones, the Androids, Windows, even the (cough) Black (cough) berry (cough). I mean they are! If any of the current phones of today had been introduced 20 years ago, everyone would have ate it up, regardless of which one. And folks want to bicker about which is best. SMH!

I would definitely install android on my iPhone 6. I would love to have a dual boot phone! I just like different experiences and both offer me different things that i like.

No because Android is tooooooo complicated.

To me, an iPhone running Android isn't the best of both worlds.

An iPhone running iOS is the best of both worlds: Best hardware, best software. Boom!

I already have everything I need.

Agreed

Absolutely not! Android is a fragmented mess, laggy and most importantly it's not secure!

No.... had a few android devices, it's just not for me.

 

[rayz336]

I wouldn't, I like iOS enough now to not worry about having Android on my devices

 

[Balotelli45]

I would consider it only if I could keep iMessage xD

I've got a 2014 Moto X to use if I want to use Android

No need to install Android on it. In my opinion it would ruin the device, so why bother? I constantly am troubleshooting my wife's Nexus 5 running Lollipop. I hardly ever have to troubleshoot my iPhone 6. It really just works!

Four months later, I still would not. Though I've been poo-pooed for thinking it's a bad idea, I still think it's a bad idea. IMO, totally unnecessary.

I use iOS for the apps, so using android on the iPhone would defeat the purpose. I like android for its particular strengths, but the quality of apps in the play store is not one of those strengths.

This question is the same as asking: Would you rather buy an Android over the iPhone?
This is iMore... What do you expect the answers to be? :laughing:

Not only NO, but HELL TO THE F'IN NO!!!!!!!

iOS and The iPhone hardware are made for each other. So why installing software that isn't designed to work with the hardware.

Coming from owning an iPhone from the original, and switching back and forth from many of the Nexus devices (Nexus S, Nexus 4, Nexus 5) and seeing the best of vanilla Android, I have to say that I find iOS to be superior in terms of both performance and overall aesthetic quality. The apps are better on iOS, and your phone doesn't randomly stutter or slow over time. Further, I'm pretty heavily invested into the Apple ecosystem to begin with, having a MacBook Pro and an Apple TV. No chance would I trade iOS for Android (even though it would play nicer with my Chromecast).

I hate Android not because of the UI or anything like that but my problem is that the OEM is in control of software updates. e.g The OnePlus One is still on 4.4.4 even though back in 2014 they said Lollipop would be available in January. So I would never install it on my iPhone but I would install Windows Phone.

Would be fun if I could dual-boot a vanilla ROM and iOS. If I could I wouldn't mind being able to add W10 as well. I like iOS but am fairly platform agnostic, would be nice to try the competition out if I'm ever bored at home.

Shor answer? No
