Re: Just play with Iphone 6&6+ ..happy now..My G3 is better..
Have you really owned an iPhone? If you did, you would know it doesn't slow down after a few months in stock form like Android devices do which can be avoided with periodic maintenance. If your device was jailbroken with lots of tweaks, don't blame the phone for not performing like it should.
As a matter of fact, yes. I've owned 4 different generations of iPhones. Maybe I worded my post wrong, but I was trying to say that ios 8 in its stock form was actually
slower on my iPhone 5 than iOS 7 was jailbroken on it. I was able to set truly custom animation speeds down to the decimal point or all together if I desired, disable that annoying parralax effect which I have no idea why they ever added, had a device cleaner just as I am able to download in stock Android OS, an app that gave me full read and write access to the file system on my phone and dozens of other UI tweaks to improve the interface itself. The stock animation speeds of iOS 8, at least in the iPhone 5, are pretty slow IMO and really no better than 7 was, even though they were said to be improved. On the new models in store it's much faster, but still it's a stock and boring OS. I outgrew It and it was time for a change. So in short- my device performed MUCH better jailbroken than it did stock for all the reasons I listed above. JB's have come a very long way from the early stages and are actually quite safe and secure, at least in my experience. Although I didn't do a whole hell of a lot of changing the file system unless there was a direct link that added it via iFile (the read /write access program ) or if there was thorough instructions on what and how to change it.
But I digress since this isn't a thread to discuss JB tweaks for iOS. I was going to keep my phone for a while but I'd been in the Android fence for about a year and the more I played with the S5 the more I liked it. I've only had it for two weeks now but already I am liking it a lot more than even my jailbroken devices in the past. I spent a good amount of time with both devices before deciding on the S5. The iPhone 6 felt like nothing more than my phone with stock iOS on a larger screen, and the 6+ Is a great phone but just wasn't for me either. So Android it was, and the S5 I chose.
I've already been religious about cleaning junk files and caches, running anti virus, deleting unnecessary apps/files etc to keep the device in check. Is it all going to keep it up to speed over the months ahead? Hopefully, but who knows how much for sure. I don't load my device with memory heavy apps that serve me no purpose, it's mostly for messaging and photos and internet browsing, things of that sort. I use it a lot, but that's the point of buying a powerful phone.
