How many converts to Android from iPhone?

[poisonivy66]

I would be really interested to know how many people have gone over to Android as a direct result from upgrading to IOS 7, i did, how many of you did too? IOS 7 hasn't been around long but i wonder!

There will be more an more, we're sure. I tried iOS7 my daughter's 4 and the adjectives that came to mind included disqusting and gross. ...but that's just me.

You're quite right with what you thought, i just couldn't believe that that was what we had been waiting months for, i was just in total disbelief, the fact that the day iPhone 5s was released was the day i went over to Android speaks volumes.

My mother had an iPhone 4 and recently updated to iOS7, when I met her for lunch I got to play with it a little and the scrolling speed is noticeable like it's a tad sluggish. There's a few other quirks about iOS7 as well but it looks bright and the icons stands out.

Personally, I think it's an OK interface. I did find it interesting this morning when the local TV news station reported on the update and people reporting seizures or vertigo Sent like symptoms.

Nothing will beat the open-source, customizable Android.

Me too but from iOS6; merely that iPhone costs too much and is being left behind by many others.
Jobs is gone- and recall what happened to Apple last time he left; not much chance of a recall so
Apple is headed down the tubes, IMO. And I speak as a fan of the MacBookAir and Pro.

I too am a fan of MacBook Pro, i love mine and could never go back to Windows, I also wonder about Apples future without Steve Jobs, If IOS 7 is any example then it doesn't look good, This is a Super Moderator in two Apple forums talking here and on the day iPhone 5s is released i buy an Android phone.........I think that says a lot.

As soon as the 5s/5c announcement took place I traded in my iPhone 4s for an LG G2. I had been an iPhone user for four years. I had a great experience with no problems, but as a tech enthusiast I just got bored. I really wanted to try a larger screen. The G2 has a beautiful display, is quite fast and smooth, and does everything I need it to do. I love that it is so customizable. I am still learning things and getting used to android, but so far I really like it.

It was the same for me, i too got bored with iPhone and i was hoping IOS 7 would be a big change but for me it was a huge let down, I'm still learning about Android and enjoying it, if you don't like something you can change it, not so with iPhone.

I came over from iPhone just yesterday, but am having real issues getting text messages due to other peoples iPhones still thinking I'm using iMessage even thought I turned off all iMessage settings. Frustrating to say the least.

I switched just before iOS7 rolled out. I wanted a larger screen, and more volume as the sound output on the iPhone just didn't do it for me. I've been an iPhone user for about 4 years I think. I was a BlackBerry fan before that, and now I guess you could say I'm an Android fan. I really like my S4 and I guess I will for at least 2 years until I can upgrade again.

I have both, I use the iPhone for music and videos as its suppose to have a better battery life but now with iOS7 its pretty much the same as Android...

 

[poisonivy66]

I didn't like the launcher so i downloaded Apex, now i just have to work out what these many options in Setting and Menu do and find a nice theme.

I have the iPhone 5s and Moto X. Love both. I think iOS 7 looks great. The OS does have a few bugs right now, but those will be sorted out pretty quickly considering Apple doesn't have to worry about AT&T or VZW to push out fixes and updates.
The Moto X is phenomenal as well. Just picked one up a few days ago and I think its the best android phone ever. I want a bigger screen like everyone else. 5S is a sweet phone all in all.
I think some people chose to hate iOS 7 unfairly or maybe they just jumped on a bandwagon. Most everyone on AC hates apple for whatever reason they made up in their heads.
People think its cool to hate a company that never did anything To them, but did a Lot For them.

Is it not the exact same situation with iPhone many iPhone fans?

I did, I went to a Google edition S4 a month before iPhone 5S launch (I'd been ios since 2007). Had new iPhone for 2 weeks now gone to note3, absolutely love it , it's awesome couldn't possibly go back to smaller screen. If iPhone 6 is at least 5" then maybe, just maybe, but I think I prefer android. I also plan to check out the nexus5

Yes I'm really enjoying android too and the larger screen. Ios7 didn't cut it for me, the calender app was awful and so was notes

i think your statement that most everyone here hates Apple is way off the mark, speaking for myself i don't hate Apple or Apple products, i have a Macbook Pro that i love, i have an iPad and an Apple track pad, Apple make great devices, i don't however like IOS 7 and the restrictions Apple imposes.

 

[poisonivy66]

Just as an extra....just my opinion but i really think that if Steve Jobs were still here the IOS 7 we have now would never have seen the light of day.
