Just curious to know if the iPhone 6 turns out to be good, if they would consider switching.
Definitely, my galaxy s5 is awful...
No. God no.
Apple can remove the hardware deficiencies by making the display bigger, and adding NFC and wireless charging...but they are not going to change the OS in ways that will make it useful to me. Such as:
1) Android's share menu
2) 3rd party app integration (for stuff other than just keyboards)
3) Widgets and a desktop - I am never going to be comfortable using an icon grid again.
4) Sideloading and alt markets without jailbreaking
5) a File system/file manager
6) Remote app install via PC to any Android device
7) Launcher/Lock Screen customization (kinda ties into #3)
Apple is definitely making progress, but at the rate they are going, it'll be years before they reach parity with what Android has right now. I understand a lot of people don't care about the items above, but those are all deal breakers for me personally...I use most of them daily.
It is not merely a matter of whether or not they CAN add these features..obviously they can. But they won't. It's not a technical limitation, it's a deliberate ideological decision on their part. Thats why I don't see myself ever going to Apple.
...that Apple approves. Which is limited only to major ones like Facebook or twitter or whatever.1. iOS 8 can have 3rd party apps in the share menu
Which is like an app-drawer, but for Widgets. I don't want to have to open stuff or scroll to get to my widgets.3. iOS 8 techically has widgets, but they're are in the notification center
That is syncing...I am talking about a push-install to specific devices. I can remote-install an app on my nexus 5 and not my nexus 7 if I want (or vice versa). The app will not auto-install just because I have the same gmail account on both.6. I think you can on iOS if you have Wi-Fi Sync turned on in iTunes.
I installed facebook the other day and then received like 10 viruses afterwards. I can't wait to sell this wretched device return back to ios.What specifically don't you like about it?
Then what you installed wasn't facebook. I have facebook installed on all my devices...not a single virus.I installed facebook the other day and then received like 10 viruses afterwards. I can't wait to sell this wretched device return back to ios.
i think i will ,i think iphone got the better hardware than samsung
That was my experience as well It was like trying to maneuver in a closet...half the time I used it I was trying to figure out how to make it do what I wanted it to do.I like the Apple hardware but the operating system can sometimes make the most trivial task very difficult. Things I've had problems with using my family's Apple devices:
1. Simply Bluetoothing files from my Android devices to them.
2. When a PC broke that had itunes on with a load of ripped CDs on it I couldn't get the music back off the ipod meaning having to rip all those CDs once again.
3. Using a particular file with a particular app.
4. Various apps only downloading content when in the foreground
I'm not against apple devices at all, just think they make simple things awkward sometimes.
Yep. I think we're only supposed to do what apple want us to do!That was my experience as well It was like trying to maneuver in a closet...half the time I used it I was trying to figure out how to make it do what I wanted it to do.
