I'll give Apple that much, their customer support is outstanding. That's all though.
Amazing all the people that knock apple saying things like this. So the only thing that's good about apple is their customer support! LOL
I've just moved from an iphone 4s (last week) to what has been touted by alot of reviewers as the best Android phone to date, a htc one. Now the phone is fantastic (apart from a possible battery issue) but I'm not won over with Android as yet. First problem I come across which is never mentioned anywhere is video sharing. File mb limits using WhatsApp, email, etc has made this near impossible to share an 11 second video recorded on the htc one. It can't be shared easy without uploading it somewhere and then sharing a link which is such a round the houses way of doing things. Compressing video on the fly ain't supported by Android. The path app (which I use alot) for Android disappointingly don't even have an option to choose video to share when it does on iPhone.
Battery drain.... You have to close/shutdown apps all the time to save battery drain. Turn off gps, turn off syncing etc to get a full day of your battery. I never had to do any of this on my iPhone.
Apps.... Every app I've compared on both devices runs smoother has more features and looks better optimised on iOS.
Notifications and ecosystem way better on ios
I've got nfc on this phone and I can't use it for anything useful in the UK! Another disappointment.
So I can't understand the slating on the apple front! They control the software and the hardware to ultimately give the user a better experience and that's part of the package.
Don't get me wrong before everyone starts shooting me down, there is alot I like about Android ie sharing options, customisation, widgets, live wallpapers, to choose quality of youtube videos over 3g etc etc. But there seems to be a trade off and it's normally battery or performance related.
After a week of having the HTC one I should be thinking yea I made the right move, obviously a better phone with an awesome screen. But functionality on a day to day I'm still unsure.
