  • An iPhone switch story from a reluctant Android switcher

    I don't understand why anyone in their right mind would choose an iPhone knockoff. Unless money is a problem I can't wrap
    my head around it. 
    Roger even mentioned that his Galaxy Nexus started to run poorly and that he went through 3 phones in 3 years, but at the end makes those things sound acceptable enough to go back.  I used my original iPhone until I upgraded to an iPhone 4 on launch day (6/24/2010).  I used that 4 until I went with a 5s and I still use the 4 several times a week at the gym just for music.

    He also mentions noticing the smoothness of iOS as his main discovery.  Why go back to a less smooth experience?  Does anyone really pine for the days of watching 12 fps videos on the internet? I know I don't.

    A friend of mine won't switch from Android and recently made a comment along the lines of "remember those commercials years ago showing an iPhone with people doing pinch-to-zoom and it was really smooth.  It's funny that just now we're actually getting to that point."  My reply was, no, it's always been that way on an iPhone.  He doesn't believe it.  Oh, and he is constantly charging his phone. Sitting down to eat? Charge the phone.  Just got out of the car? Go in and charge the phone.  Just been on FB for 30 minutes? Charge the phone while we have a conversation.  It's ridiculous. 


    Hi,

    To elaborate a little, the Nexus 5 proved to me that good experiences were possible in the Android world, and any flaws were worth some of the perks and the cheaper pricetag.

    There are even better options now - a Galaxy S8 or a OnePlus 5 would probably delight most people.

    There is no built-in phone connectivity on the Mini apart from any Continuity/Wi-Fi Calling support, it should be noted. .

    If I need Plus-Plus size phone than I will buy iPad mini tablet with phone connectivity. Normal phone size at largest end is with screen 5.1-5.2" and for Plus size is 5.5-5.6". Any screen size above is Mega phone and in that range mini tablet with phone connectivity is better choice. Very large phone is prone to get drop from your any size hand breaking screen costing lot. If you put heavy duty case/cover than it adds bulkiness and ugliness.
