So I have had the edge since it came out and love the phone. I have used Android since switching from the iPhone 3G I believe, whichever was one of the first models. I love the idea of open source and being able to do whatever I want with my Android phone. However, recently at work they provided us with an iPhone 6. I have been using it the last couple of days and there are a few things I noticed that I truly miss.
True app switching - My edge still has problems switching apps. I can literally go between Instagram and FB Messenger and the Instagram app will load all the way back to the top, losing my place. The iPhone has zero problems with this it seems.
Fingerprint scanner - Just works on the iPhone. I never have any problems with it not reading my print.
Battery Life - Seriously the standby time and battery drain on the iPhone is night and day better than my edge. The edge literally cannot make it through one full day for me through moderate use. I just get awful battery life with it and it is becoming annoying to charge it 2, 3 times a day.
I know switching means I lose a lot of the Google services I enjoy, but it just feels like an overall better phone at the moment. I have still been able to find an Android phone that just works. Any thoughts/opinions on this, or has anyone felt, done, or been in the same situation?
I should add that my GF and almost everyone I know owns an iPhone and it is frustrating not being able to send videos/etc. to them or getting choppy quality videos. I know they will never switch to Android either.
