Transition from iPhone to the Note 4

Re: Transition from iP5 to N4

But some things are just cold facts.

In a lot of ways, iPhone is just no way nearly as good as other phones, no matter how many good reviews it gets.

For example, the option to customize is better than not to. Androids give two in one, whereas Apple gives you no option.

There are pros and cons to Iphones and android.

Im an android guy but I see the appeal of apple phones. Yeah there isnt as much customization, but that also makes things simpler, and for the OS to run much more smoothly on iphones. Use an iphone and an android next to each other and you will see that despite always having much better specs on paper, IOS is almost always the faster and smoother overall experience. Theres no lag or jutter like on every android phone (though small it is these days). Thats what you get when the software is optimized for one piece of hardware only. You get a buttery smooth experience.

It also arguably has a cleaner and more elegant look, which is a big deal to some people. Not to mention, despite resolutions not matching up to many android OEMs, their screens and cameras are always quite beautiful.

But for me personally, these pros dont outweigh the cons for me (no expandable storage, less features and customization, very vanilla experience for higher relative price). So Ive always chosen android.

Yes, there are people who actually don't like to or care to customize their phones. I still see it on both platforms.

Get in a room with a bunch of people with iPhones, wait for one to get a notification & they all look at their phones cause they all have the same sounds.

On the Android side, I have seen many people's phones where the home screens & sounds have been untouched. Sometimes I'll even find out that they've already had their phones for a year or so.

Each to their own.

Or could it be that Apple just chose great ringtones/text message tones? Again just personal preference but Android manufacturer's tones did not appeal to me. I ended up downloading one of those ringtone apps just so I wouldn't have to use the included ones. You can with Apple too but I don't want to because I love the included tones.


Also some "cold hard facts" is that many of us have experienced Android and very much dislike it for a myriad of reasons. It is preference, not "fact."
