  • There is this annoying bug of iOS 8, which makes the operation of both the phone quite frustrating at times with laggy notifications, iMessage glitches, etc.

  • There is no microSD card support in the iPhone whereas the Android phones are gaining an advantage over Apple in this regard.
  • The price plays a spoilt sport for both the devices because they are priced quite high as compared to its rivals.
  • The non removable battery is also a great disadvantage of both the iPhones.
