Interesting, so windows vs mac os didn't cause a flame war but Android vs IOS does.

    Possibly because the cost for entry to macOS is higher than with iOS. Most people are able to run a Windows computer at very little cost, and will never have any interaction with a Mac. Meanwhile, iPhones and Android phones are (broadly) on a par in terms of cost.

    I will say though, speaking as someone who's used Macs since 2007, as much as I'm no fan of how Windows works, I won't give anyone shit for doing so. But I used to get quite a bit of vitriol for my choice of computer.

    Meanwhile, iPhones and Android phones are (broadly) on a par in terms of cost. This is only true if talking about mid-high end phones (and probably only high-end), you can get really cheap Android phones, incredibly cheaper than Iphones.

    Many people just have phones now.

    It's always interesting to see people turn something as universal as a phone into a competition.

    If you're willing to spend the money, you can make yourself look silly by spending thousands on either one.

    Phones have become such a staple of modern existence, it's about the same as wearing shoes.

    Shit. I just realized they turn shoes into that, too
