Who came from an iPhone ? Thoughts ?

[jamezr]

I'm really not sure why people keep saying this like it's an advantage for Android. I've had an iPhone 6s Plus since launch and I literally never use iTunes. I have 70GB of music on my phone and I didn't use iTunes to load any of it.

I hate iTunes....But I do use it to sync my 7+ only to manage my music playlists. I like to switch up the order songs with using shuffle.....

How do you get your music?

I can't find any advantages of Android over iOS in this article. In my mind the notifications are about the same after Google has copied iOS ability to instantly answer a message with Nougat.

Android has had quick reply for a LONG time -- if anything Google/Apple copied it from 3rd party developers.

Disagree. The S3 is the best watch for Android. It's smooth and has a great UI.

But it is not better than the Apple watch. At least in my opinion. The Apple watch is faster, more stable and has a superior selection of apps.

To each his own...I have used both. Never found the need to have apps on a smartwatch. I use it for telling time, notifications, phone calls, and most importantly - Samsung Pay. I have a 5.5" screen phone, no need to use apps on a miniature screen. The Apple Watch works great with an iPhone, no doubt, but it's design is awful. I love the round face look of the S3 Frontier, and 4G/LTE is a plus as well - that has come in handy a few times.

No, that's incorrect:

No it's not lol. 3rd party Android apps had quick reply way before Apple and Google. Even 3rd party apps on jaikbroken iPhones had it before google and apple put them into the native OS.

Yeah but we are talking about OS-features here. My general point is that everybody copies everybody else and I fail to see any major differences in the notifications system of both OS as of today.

Ah as I said those are my differences .. I can see what app has what notification in my status bar versus having to go to a specific place to see them like on iOS.

Google Play Music. Downloaded to the device via the app.

if you're thinking about moving into the android world I think now is the best time to do so but just wait a little to see what mwc holds for us then what the final S8 will be.

Yes, I've had Android phones since the very beginning of Android.

I own both devices and each has its own pluses and minuses. Apple has a smoother UI but android is more customisable which in my opinion is important.

 

[Aquila]

I'd disagree on a smoother UI. Nexus/Pixel UI seems both cleaner and smoother to me, especially on the Pixel.

 

[scottysize]

I routinely switch back and forth. Currently own a Pixel XL and iPhone 7 Plus. I like the screen of the 7 Plus better. Also the battery life is better on the iPhone. Otherwise, it's up to you. If you're an iOS person, switching can be challenging, but they are getting closer to looking the same every year. If you're bored and want to re-purchase all your app to another eco system, switch away, but I don't recommend selling your iPhone for the first few weeks, if ever. You might find there's something you can't live without.

I use both iPhone (work phone - iP6) and Android (my phone, just got a Pixel [5"], coming from MXPE). I just generally prefer the look and feel of Android, plus the widgets that are available. I only have one app on iOS I would like on Android: Context Camera.

I don't like the recent iOS change to the way you have to unlock by hitting the button instead of swiping. I keep invoking Siri, and I don't want to talk to her, I want to unlock my phone.

iphone had some design issues for me, how it handles back button, inserting in text, auto correct and a few more.. coupled with a screen I found extremely inaccurate.

it did do some things better than android but for the mentioned reasons above I am switching back to android.

 

[DocGo]

I routinely switch back and forth between my Google Pixel and my iPhone 7. I like both phones.

you don't have to hit the physical button if you enabled assistive touch. just place you finger on the scanner and hit the virtual button on screen.

I too am looking to jump ship out of boredom, but I'm thinking of going over (back) to Android from iPhone after living in iOS for 2 years. Other than the fact that the Apple Watch only works on iOS, and nothing from Android Wear can match it (according to most of the unbiased reviews I've read and even my own 4 month ownership), why did you migrate from Android to the iPhone?
