This is a ridiculous article.  When you talk about a platform&#x27;s &#x27;advantage&#x27;, you&#x27;re talking about features that enable it to dominate its sector.<p>Apple does no such thing.  They make lots of money, but they don&#x27;t dictate the direction tech is going.  They make nice devices for the present, but they offer no additional utility over an Android device.<p>The fact that Google doesn&#x27;t make as much money selling phones is a moot point because they&#x27;re more of a service provider than a hardware manufacturer.  They want you to be using Google services, and Android&#x2F;Nexus products merely enable that.<p>As for the utility of an iPhone vs. Android, my Android phone (via Google services) keeps track of traffic for my various commutes (work and school), makes appointments for me based on the content of e-mails (reads schedules, meeting times), and does all sorts of other predictive magic.  And has been doing this for awhile now.  Apparently Apple just started adding these features to iOS 9 (as well as split-screen multitasking, their new Notes app, public transportation on Maps, )?  Dunno, based on the feature sheet of iOS 9, seems like Apple is 2-3 years behind Google&#x2F;Samsung.
