The most recent technology debate involves the app quality between Android vs iOS users. With the release of the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy III, the debate is even more intense. When it comes to apps crashing, which phone user is more likely to keep the program or move on? When it comes to free apps, the Android users are more likely to drop the app with 25% of its users deleting it. When it comes to paid apps, 45% of iOS users are more likely to get rid of the app over Android users.
When it comes to gaming and everyday app usage, the iPhone 5 users will be the ones to ditch the app of its entirety. This might have to do with iOS' capability when it comes to graphics.
