I need more ideas! This is from a NEUTRAL perspective.
Category | iPhone Car | Android Car | Reasoning |
Windsheild | 3.5’ wide, crystal clear. average color reproduction | 4.0’ wide average clarity. Best color reproduction available. Green is green, black is black. | The iPhone display is small, but much higher resolution than found in the average electronic device. SAMOLED screens produce the best colors available on any device. Try one. |
Size | 22.5’ long | 24’ long | Phone height divided by 2 multiplied by 10’ |
Exterior Appearance | Ford Mustang | Chevy Camaro | Both cars are awesome, it depends on your taste. However the Mustang has a slight edge. |
Cost | $20,000 | $10,000 | ATT iPhone 4 vs Nexus S w/ two year contract |
Insurance | $119/month | $59/month | Att insurance cost x $10 |
Insurance Deductable | $1999 | $1250 | Att insurance deductible x $10 |
Gas Mileage | Above average if it sits in your driveway all day, average if you use it. You cannot store extra gas in a red container and refill when you want. | Average. At any time you can refill using an extra gas can. | The iPhone has great battery lifewhen not being used. When in use the phone performed as expected. Android phones have replaceable batteries, which I recommend people store in their wallet or purses. At any time, you can swap one out and within 1 minute have a full battery again. |
Interior Design | Leather with chrome finishes. Some solid wood trim | Pleather with plastic trim. | The iPhones UI is stunning. Apple engineers really polished their animations. |
Gauges | You only get to see one guage/switch at a time. Only the speedometer, or only the gas gauge. You can only roll down the windows or turn on your headlights. No two can viewed/toggled at once. You can’t roll down your window and see how fast your going at the same time. | All gauges and switches available at any time like a normal car. | The Android homescreen/widgets are far superior than ANYTHING remotely comparable in iOS. |
Trunk space | You have to decide how much trunk space you want when you buy it. You can never change it | Removable storage allows you to increase your trunk space at any time. | Removable microSD cards allow phones to have between 0 and 64 GB of storage. |
Garage | You can only access items in your trunk by plugging the car into a computer to open the trunk. You can also only put CD’s DVD’s or Pictures in your trunk. | Park the car in the garage, open the trunk and go at it. No limitations. | Any android device has what is called “mass storage mode.” This essentially turns the phone into a thumb drive, where you can store ANYTHING. |
Engine | 100 Horsepower when at the gas station, 90 horsepower when on the road. | 100 horsepower all the time. | The iPhone runs at 1Ghz when charging, 900 MHz when not. |
Top speed | 30 mph | 250 mph | The nexus S is not a 4g phone, but if is important to you, an LTE phone on Verizon is CRAZY fast. |
Transmission | 4 speed manual | 5 speed automatic | Everything within android can be automated. Nothing within iOS is automated. |
In dash GPS | The in-dash GPS has maps and can print out directions for you to follow. | Garmin Nuvi w/ full turn by turn navigation | Google Maps Navigation is a direct replacement for any Garmin GPS. The iPhone maps app is really limiting. |
Accessories | You get what you see and cannot change it. | If you don’t like your steering wheel, you can change it. Seat uncomfortable, change it. Rear view mirror too small? Change it. Unlimited options | All system apps in android are replaceable. If you don’t like the “phone” app, you can change it. Browser, email, sms, etc. all customizable. |
Reliability | Rarely breaks down | Breaks down occasionally. | iOS is a more stable operating system. |
Similar cars | Looks the identical as 50 million other cars on the road. Your mom has one, your friend has one, and so does your neighbor. | Every car is unique and it is pure joy running into a car similar to yours. | No comment. |
Apps | Higher quality apps available, but they cost more. There is no keyless entry available. | Lots of free apps, but generally lower quality, specifically game apps. Keyless entry, remote start, etc available. | iOS apps are higher quality, but generally cost more. iOS is also missing apps that can automate the usefulness of the phone. |
NFC | None | Has the ability to pay for items wirelessly at McDonalds, but only 10% of McDonalds actually use it. | NFC is still in its early stages of adoption, but still useful… sometimes. |
