Default Apple iOS or Samsung Android ?

Will a 3rd generation Lexus IS250 AWD work better with Apple's iOS or an Android platform based phone? Or does it not matter at all & any phone will work just fine for all the tech features?

I'm pretty sure both phones will work fine. I currently have an iPhone 6 and it works perfectly.

It uses the various BT Profiles supported by the car and the phone, no specific iOS or Android integration.

Texting with the Apple allows you to compose by using Siri, press the Off-Hook button on
the steering wheel and wait for her to trill. Speak and she will read it back...shall I send it?

Androids provide for 15 boilerplate responses to click on. You may modify any and all to
fit your future needs while parked but can not compose while driving. An advantage of the
Android over the Apple is that it can also address e-mails (be careful what you wish for!) and
Androids also display previous messages while the Apple only shows those that came in after pairing.

Sounds like Android has more advantages over iOS. Thx for the replies guys. Guess I'll get the Samsung S6 Edge

Don't get the Samsung yet! Samsung is revealing the S7 on February 21 and will probably start selling it shortly after.

Also for android, you don't have to keep opening the enform app. It will actually start up everytime you start your car (If you have bluetooth on of course). I recently switched over to the Iphone and it forces you to open up the enform app each time. I miss my android.

Since this was a silly question, I'll use this stage to bash Android.

APPLE ALL THE WAY
