If you moved over, which iPhone did you come from?
>>> I've been going back-and-forth, I would say iPhone 4.
What do you miss about IOS? (I know sending large images or videos can be a problem)
>>> Having access to my iTunes library, Movies & TV Shows.
What was you biggest reason for the move?
>>> At first it was the Display/Screen Size but after Jelly Bean & learning about Launcher a year ago I would buy a 3.5" android.
How many are business users, the phone is your mobile office? Exchange and calendar sync working well?
How does the battery stack up to an iPhone 4S or iPhone 5? (I can only get 1/2 day with my iPhone 4S anymore)
>>> I had both and can't remember neither lasting more than 8-10 hours.
Also, what are you guys doing for insurance? I've become familiar with Apple Care, but notice there isn't a similar package from Samsung. I would have to rely on the Carrier, which is fine, just cost $120 a year. Anyone using Square Trade?
Overall, if you moved over, are you having a positive experience? Don't worry, I'm not some crazed Apple fan boy. I just go with what works well, I'm vendor agnostic.
Thanks!![]()
Probably the biggest surprise about iOS7 is that it will probably have a way to control the phone with your head movements. I would probably prefer an iPhone IF they had a developers edition like HTC does. But I will always be using both platforms. Like most developers I prefer the iOS developeing wise, but as a user I prefer android because of its more direct root ability. That may change with iOS 7 though. LOL... Best way to determine which platform is for you is to look at the apps that you will be using. All things being equal the iOS app version will probably be more polished and have new features sooner, but if you're not using that particular app then it shouldn't matter to you.Interesting. Work has me slammed, so I'm a bit out of touch on the Apple news.
4s to s4. IOS does have a more polished app store but I love the size of my s4. The replaceable battery is a big factor in my decision. Constant charging and using diminishes the life of the battery and in about 1 year or 2 battery will need replaced. I personally don't enjoy having to spend money and completely replace my phone just bc of battery issues, its much simpler to just open the back and replace a new battery. So I choose a phone that has the best hardware and replaceable battery. Save myself from a huge headache later. Plus let's be real here, since iOS ditched Google their stock map app sucks. I prefer to go with google map as default and only with an android will I be able to set Google map as default. That is one move that Apple made a huge mistake on. They would've had a better chance in this market if they teamed up with Google.

Only thing I don't like about my One is that it doesn't have a replaceable battery. I'm not worried about the battery going bad, as I'm sure I'll replace the phone long before that happens, but if the phone ever gets wet having a removable battery is a BIG asset. For that reason I am going to get the phone waterproofed next month, and all things being equal IMO it's still the best phone on the market.I personally don't enjoy having to spend money and completely replace my phone just bc of battery issues, its much simpler to just open the back and replace a new battery.
Apple didn't make a mistake. Google wouldn't work with them and Apple had no choice but to kick them to the curb. Google deliberately was making a watered down version of maps for iOS, and that's a big no-no. Apples first attempt at a mapping app was poor, I'll give you that, but the first version of google maps was crap too. The betas I've seen of Apples next version will amaze a lot of people. Mapping is the the single hardest app to make. It takes huge amounts of people, and huge amounts of data and time to be assembled. Google has around 7000 people working JUST on their mapping app. Apple doesn't, yet. What Apple does have a lot of is money, and they can fix the mapping app easily with it. Whenever Apple focuses on a project, you can bet it will be good. In the long run Apple made the right move. Apple simply cannot partner with google, as it's not a smart business move, and they are even moving away from samsung as their parts supplier. Took them a while to realize this but the wheels are now in motion.Plus let's be real here, since iOS ditched Google their stock map app sucks.

Really? So the truth makes you afraid of Apple? How predicable and boring.And the above post shows something I've long felt to be true. Apple could market crap on toast as their new device and the iSheep would wait in line for it.

Apparently you don't know what bias or prejudice is. LOL....Since when is expressing opinionated beliefs, showing fear?
Anything is possible. After a year or two passes I don't think that google staying on top is a given though. They can make mistakes too. I'm sure Apple feels that it would be a nice feather in their cap. They certainly are making significant progress in a short amount of time. Some are starting to say that they now prefer Apple maps to google. And don't forget about Nokias maps. The consumer will win here. Competition is a good thing.I don't really disagree. Yes, Apple Maps will get much better. Remember that Google isn't remaining stagnant, though, so their Maps will also be continuing to improve. Apple will likely be behind for quite a some time.

This is in fact, an Android forum, am I correct?
And yes, I do know what bias, and prejudice is. That is why I said 'opinionated', as most opinionated beliefs express bias, and prejudice.
Please try to be a little more subtle, when insulting my intelligence.
