Anyone going to trade their Android phone for iPhone 6?

[LeoRex]

Short of trolling...

For quite some time, Android had to play catch up with both hardware and software.. It's hard to put it a superior product when you're in that position.

But that's changed... Apple no longer has any advantage and they're the ones playing catch-up on both ends. Sure, it'll be the second coming to iFans, but they'll buy anything with an Apple logo.

A couple of days after I picked up my G3, I was out and a friend of mine, a guy who had only had iPhones, saw my phone and was amazed. From the screen down, especially gesture typing with the stock keyboard. He said he didn't realize that Android phones were that nice and started asking a bunch of questions about it... Wouldn't surprise me if I see an Android phone in his hand next time I see him.

So... To someone with a 5s, the 6 will be a huge upgrade. But for me, the opposite.

Just curious to know if the iPhone 6 turns out to be good, if they would consider switching.

I want to see the form factor,build quality,features etc.before. If it's better yes I would trade my G2. But it better be good because I haven't found the entire package in any phone besides the G2

Think HTC One, with a larger bezel. For a 4.7' screen, it'll feel huge... The anti-G3.

I'm sure it'll be fast, be built well and do it's thing pretty good. I'm just not feeling iOS... It's like getting stuck in the app drawer.

No. I did trade my 16GB iPad mini for 16GB iPhone 5S.

I'm just so disappointed with the leaked pics I've been seeing. As for iOS, I just learned to deal with it. I have my LG G3 to customized.

No. Nothing to make me consider dropping my Note or not buying the Note 4.

 

[cjohn4043]

No, but I always look forward to Apple's newest products.

...that Apple approves. Which is limited only to major ones like Facebook or twitter or whatever.

This is incorrect. The developer has to change it on their end. It's not just apps that Apple approves anymore (once iOS 8 hits).

No approval is required on Android...any app I install can be added to the share menu. On my share menu I have Superbeam, Gmail, Facebook, Hangouts, Keep, Drive, Box, Dropbox, and photoshop express, and that is just the ones I use the most. I use these every day. The share menu is intuitive, flexible, and incredibly useful.

I do agree that as of now it is much more intuitive and useful on Android.

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.

It's more like having widgets in the notification center. Not nearly as intuitive or useful as Android, but hey, it's a step in the right direction.

From what I understand in iOS, you still cannot even re-arrange the icons. They default to alphabetical order. It's like an App-drawer you have less control over. This is not merely a "style" issue...this is a functionality issue IMO. iOS will not let me re-arrange icons in a way that makes the device more intuitive to me.

Yes you can rearrange the icons. You can put them in whatever order you want. But yes, it is like a customizable app drawer.

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.

This is correct.

This is a good example of the general lack of flexibility in iOS that would grate on my nerves. Each item when taken individually doesn't seem like a big deal, but having to deal with these limitations all the time, every day, would get old real quick.

I'm a Nexus 5 user and an Android lover, but I still like iOS and the beautiful simplicity of it. I doubt I'll jump to the iPhone 6, but I wouldn't say I'd never do it. I've been known to OS hop from time to time.

I like the apple iPhone hardware but can't take their software restrictions. I want my phone to be able to do everything I do on my laptop.

Then what you installed wasn't facebook. I have facebook installed on all my devices...not a single virus.

I am guessing it's another app you installed doing that.

I installed it from the play store though. It shows that Google is a greedy corrupted company for allowing people to gain viruses from just downloading an app.

All companies are greedy, that's how the whole economy is based
And Google doesn't want you to get viruses, they want you to be happy, so you keep buying their products

Nope.

I don't see how that makes them greedy. They are greedy, but that's not why. The regular Facebook app sucks, but it doesn't have viruses. Saying that Google sucks because you got a virus from an app YOU shouldn't have downloaded is ridiculous at best.

Source?

I have seen nothing from iOS8 indicating what you're claiming. "share" apps in iOS8 are hard-coded into the OS...developers cannot add them on their own. Give me an example of an obscure app that is shown running on the iOS share menu.

I doubt you installed the actual Facebook app. I've been using the Play store for years and have never gotten a single virus...and certainly not from Facebook, which I've installed multiple times on many devices.

You might be talking about Notification ads. They are annoying, but they are technically not viruses. And Google has cracked down on those as well.

It shows that Google is a greedy corrupted company for allowing people to gain viruses from just downloading an app.

Why would google want people to get viruses? What do they gain from that?

Meh, I like apple for one reason! JAILBREAK lol Its fun to break the 'rules' its also a great community but Some people like stock iPhones which I could never have(I jailbroke my iPod3,4,5 and iPhone4,5s) Now I have always loved android but never switched... Will I buy the 6? No screen is too big for me and I really don't find a use to buy a iPhone wait for a jailbreak and get most features that android already has.
Question!- Anyone noticed all the apple fanboys move to android(more over to samsung) ?
I also noticed how they switched back to apple within a month hahaha!

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.

How did u manage to do that ...honestly the download must have been 3rd party also its wise to have some kind of security on ur android ...I use 360 security it does all and never have a problem or ever did.
As for iPhone 6 I could careless ,yes its nice but to restricted and boring can't do nothing unless u jailbreak ..had apple ,tried android and never going back.
