Simple solution, dont load 100 different apps on your phone and uninstall the ones you dont use on a regular basis...also, dont use facebook's apps.
What would be more interesting than this would then to gauge what other products they use in their household.
Android tablets/phones, desktops/laptops, OSes, streaming devices and sticks. I bet more US households still use non apple hardware or a combo of both than use Apple exclusively.
Also where was this poll taken, on a college campus? That's where I see/saw most of the mac computers. In my office it's all iPhones and PCs.
This. Android is for poors and irrational Apple haters. And even most of the poors will tell you they wish they could afford an iPhone.
Never have and never will buy apple crap. Hater for life.
Or we just associate the average Apple user as a tool (see comment above).This. Android is for poors and irrational Apple haters. And even most of the poors will tell you they wish they could afford an iPhone.
But that's not a solution. If you are given a device, and nowadays they are costing close to $1000 the response shouldn't be "don't install so many apps." They are presented to you to download so you should be able to download as many as you want in the hopes that A, it won't fuck up your device, and B, it won't cause your device to run slower or behave differently when downloaded. It's like having 100 games installed on Steam. My computer runs no slower when I have all my games installed than when I only have a few and nowadays when mobile phones have Octa-Core processors and run multi-gigahertz processors, and have ever-increasing RAM should not be a continuing issue.

The CNBC All-America Economic Survey finds that 64 percent of Americans now own an Apple product, up from 50 percent when the question was last asked five years ago. The average American household reports owning 2.6 Apple products, up by a full Apple product from the 2012 survey.
It's not so much as hate for Android but more like calling them out when it's warranted. There are obvious issues that are plaguing the average Android user yet does Google do anything about it? No. Android still lags like hell and yet Google does nothing about it. Unfortunately they would have to do a lot of behind the scenes work to fix these issues but of course Google doesn't want to do it, they simply throw more hardware at the problem instead of fixing the core flaws in the system. And it isn't just Google, I'm calling out everyone on this one.I am really surprised there is so much android hate on these forums.

Funny, it's largely the opposite where I work.
We have lower paid office staff who have iPhones and complain how they can't afford stuff (yet they could afford a $800 iPhone on monthly payments).
Meanwhile many of the technical people have android even though they could easily afford the price of the latest iPhone (and they don't complain about how broke they are).
I know that buying Android phones for my family (that cost less then half what a similar an Apple phone would have) has left me with more money in the bank.
Well comes as no surprise to me. Apple gives free products to all the schools and colleges teaches kids and others that apple is the only product they need. They use our children as marketing for there products.
The old saying The brighter the Picture the Darker the negative.
Don't be haters - invest in AAPL (actually, I'm not sure I'd buy in right now...the iPhone 8 is not selling. Have to see how the iPhone X sells and if they can keep up with the demand.) I've done quite nicely with this stock in the last 8 years or so. I make my living partially from iOS development. I like iPhones and have gotten used to macOS (actually find it works great as a development platform - Android Studio & Xcode are well-supported. With the awesome trackpad (may favorite "feature" of Mac computers) - I don't even bother with a mouse. Keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures.
Is it a perfect platform? No. Their equipment is expensive and over priced. I also don't always like the design and choices they make at the Mothership (only USB-C? So, I had to get a bunch of dongles. Jerks.). However, I don't have any qualms using their products. My network at home has a 2008 Macbook, several Linux servers, several Windows 10 devices, etc - they all get along ok. At work, I am using the new Macbook Pro. I hate the TouchBar - I accidentally hit it all the time I also miss have an ESC key as I like the editor vi. (Also haven't found a use for the trackbar...it is not intuitive and doesn't speed me up with any programs I am running on it.)
Indeed. I find people that are more tech savvy tend to use a high-end Android phone. I also find that more people that want to appear trendy, walk around with headphones on all the time, wear skinny jeans and neck beards, as well as being completely inept when it comes to anything technological, tend to use Apple devices.
There are issues with both OS's, but the main issue with Android is the shitty launchers and all the crap that gets loaded by the carriers. This is not a problem with Google or Android, but a problem with the ecosystem and the vendors. It's the unfortunate side effect of open source software on a wide distribution platform, the same problems that I've seen complained about on the most popular of Linux distros.
I have a Note 8 currently, and all previous iterations prior except for the 7. Any issue I've had was immediately solved by install by Nova Launcher and disabling all the carrier garbage. I've had Nexus phones previous to those, and they were amazing, but lagged behind hardware wise, which I mainly mean screen technology.
I am definitely not an Android hater, I just maintain that an iPhone is better bang for the buck unless you get a 200 Android. The hardware is as good or better than an Android of the same price from the 400$ SE to the 800$ 8+. Your phone is guaranteed to get updates for well longer than any Android out there. This wouldn’t be such a huge deal except that Android has many critical security holes discovered each year. Many expensive Android devices are not even updated after the first year and cheap ones are usually never updated even once.I am really surprised there is so much android hate on these forums. I am not going to throw stones because I have not owned an apple product myself. Each time I get a new phone, i look at apple and just cant justify it. Not even close. Most of my android phones lately have run stock android without any bloatware on them. I do still have an Amazon Fire phone running CM11 rom (android 4.4) and it still works well
My experience has been that some tech savvy types rant and rave about how they will never buy an iPhone. Those are for hipsters and morons who can't use technology they say. Then they use Android for awhile, realize it's utter shit, and quietly switch to iPhones. They're embarassed about how wrong they were so they never say much about it. You just see them using an iPhone one day. I can't count the number of times I've seen this scenario play out. Actually I don't know anyone tech savvy who is even still using Android.
Nope. I'm about as tech savvy as the rest of you guys here. I tweak just as much as you guys do, I even write Microsoft VB.NET (and some C#) code. I've even overclocked my Core i5 3570k to 4.4 GHz. But when it comes to my phone... it just has to work. I had various forms of Android devices for years and I just got tired of dealing with the crap that is Android so I switched to the iPhone and never looked back.as well as being completely inept when it comes to anything technological, tend to use Apple devices.
Android is and has always felt like it was cobbled together with pieces that don't quite fit together. Square peg in a round hole kind of thing. There's no cohesion in it. It doesn't feel quite... complete. Everything seems like it was thrown together last minute just to add another "whiz-bang" feature to add to the already long bug-filled feature list.My experience has been that some tech savvy types rant and rave about how they will never buy an iPhone.

I owned a Mac Mini about a decade ago. Sorry, I didn't need that kind of hand-holding.
And as for iOS, A system without the OPTION for side-loading is broken. You can still treat Android like a single-store high-security system if you want, but if there's ever a need you can install your own apps.
This. Android is for poors and irrational Apple haters. And even most of the poors will tell you they wish they could afford an iPhone.
You can "side loading" on iOS. As long as the app have the right provision profile from Apple developer accounts.
IIRC, you can do drag and drop IPA into iTunes while connected with iPhone.
