Why iOS lags behind Android

   You know this war still exist but I still feel that after leaving my YouTube channel to collect dust for a while I still feel iOS lags behind Android in a few categories that mean a lot whether that be in speed or security.
    When rooting Android your device is safer in malware attacks. With a jaikbrooken iOS device you must worry about your root password but as with ANY UNIX OS you must worry about protecting your root directory but I and many others feel that with tools such as SuperSU and SuperUser Android just does protection much better and without emulation of root rights.
      Android thanks to it being open source and having a debugging bridge exploiting the OS of the device is possible much sooner than iOS.
      iOS does a piss poor management of RAM leading to random slow downs and high battery usage. Unused RAM is wasted RAM but thanks to Apple launching iOS 6 memory leaks are much more prominent and consistent in times when a phone needs to be just that a phone.
       Android thanks to the Different Screen Size API applications coded for a Nexus S can work the same on Galaxy Tab 10.1 .
        Things such as native hardware acceleration was adopted with Android in 2011 in ICS (First seen in HoneyComb but wasn't automatically enabled). Apple hasn't incorporated this because in my opinion because when a device slows down they want you to buy a new one.
         iOS devices (Newer) when jailbroken still can't overclock or use custom kernels.
         Phone calls on my iPhone 4 were excellent but when I started using it more I was reached but the fatal flaw on the Audio IC which still is plaguing iPhones today.
         I have nothing against Apple or iOS I just feel that owning an iPhone myself Android has better demonstrated a faster and more fluid UI and much higher consistency.

Nexus 7 LAG FIX

   The 2012 Nexus 7 is a little over a year old and many users often complain about massive LAG in the UI and using applications. Before their were only 2 solutions and both of them involved removing data from the device, factory reset, and deleting items when the onboard storage reaches below 3GB. The problem can be fixed by running TRIM which is run automatically in Android 4.3, but if you don't want to update you can try can awesome app that can run TRIM automatically or on demand and that app is called LAGFIX(fstrim).

 TRIM wipes block data that the storage no longer uses. Another thing is think about is, can an iOS device run TRIM? Or does Apple not allow TRIM so you can feel like you NEED to upgrade your slow device? Android on the other hand isn't like this. I think that's another piece of information that Android is more advanced than iOS. Period.
