My advice is to not be so sensitive. Android is very successful. There is no need to jump in loudly screaming whenever someone mentions Apple or the iPhone.
Exactly, we aren't rooting for football teams here, no need to act territorial.
In addition, its a factual reality that Android came out after the iPhone. That doesn't discount its contributions however, just puts into perspective its place in history.
Your advice works for the Apple fanboys too. IPhone is very successful as much, if not, more than Android.
It's interesting though that it was Apple dissing Google in its WWDC keynote (how its latest OS is in most phones unlike Android's). Google, unlike last year, didn't diss Apple at all at Google I/O.
Can we just not do this? I already lived through the "MACS SUX PCS ROOL" 90s, and I don't really want to deal with the modern Android vs. iOS incarnation.
Next, someone will be saying "right tool for the job", a Linux desktop guy will pop in to say "you're both wrong!", some benevolent Windows user will pipe in with "Macs are mostly good for design." I can't remember what gamers would say, but it was probably something equally inane.
To this I all say: No. Stop. There is nothing interesting here to say. We've done this before, and it had more to do with tribal us vs. them simplification than it did with any genuine mature comparative analysis of the options.
