Switched from Android to iOS........damn.

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Left Android 2.5 years ago. In my experience iOS has Android beat in two areas:

1) messaging on iOS >>>>>>> Android. It's insane to me that Google just refuses to fix this. It's such an integral part of why I use my phone.
2) Longevity. I've had this 128 GB iPhone 6s since Jan 2015. None of my Androids have performed this well after 2+ years. I've always been forced to upgrade around 2 years cuz the performance goes to shyt. Idgaf about impressing people with my phone and the features of the new phones aren't enough to have me wanting to upgrade so I plan to keep this for a long long time


Outside of these two, the pros and cons of each system balance out imo

This is the dumbest shyt ever.

Real talk though any woman who messages me less because my textbox is green, is doing me a favor for exhibiting bird behavior.

Tell that to the person who brought up the bubbles in the first place not me for trying to explain how they work. Damn can’t even answer a question anymore

You didnt explain anything tho, you just said the bubbles were different colors.

The current version isn't as bloated as back when I had the S4 years ago. TouchWiz is much more closer to stock Android these days. Much better experience than it used to be.

Bixby?

I felt more free on an android, but lately i dont care about all that extra desktop shyt anymore.
So iOS is more appealing nowadays

And that they are reflective of the type of message you’re sending, text or iMessage. Another poster went into depth and I tagged the person who asked

I know what the difference is, but you didnt until someone explained it. You said it was just the color of the bubbles multiple times, which sounded dumb as fukk.

Sure

IOS offers too little control for the user

if you're not a techie who likes to configure and modify your devices or you're either really old or a little kid then its fine I guess.

I'm personally not a fan, but to each his/her own though

Apple definitely has better marketing though. Its a status symbol to people who know nothing about tech simply due to the genius marketing behind it.

Place a random tablet/smart phone infront of an 80 yr old or a 4 year old and regardless of what brand it actually is, they'll refer to it as an iphone/ipad.

When you have the ignorant in your pocket that's marketing at its finest.

Ifiends swear they winning running back to the apple store every week standing in the 80s crack lines

And Facetime. Who uses Skype these days?

wasn’t google trying to make a knockoff version of FaceTime and it failed

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Who FaceTimes these days? What are you, 12?

your trying too hard.

Lmao @ "we know when we're not texting someone with an iphone". Who cares?

You iphone users get annoyed when you see green bubbles like, "cant believe I'm talking to this green bubble having, non iphone user"?

Jesus christ. White man did a serious number on some of you sheep. Yea you all are different all right...real different

Its honestly a richer messaging experience. You are able to see when the message is delivered and read (read receipts are controllable). You can send much larger files than possible with MMS. Media delivery is much, much more reliable. You can send high quality voice messages instead of text. There are also numerous games built into the messaging system. Its not the feature to top them all, but it is a more advanced solution than simply SMS/MMS

iOS is for people who want tech without the headache. "It just works" Which is fair and understandable.

I've owned android and iOS. My current phone is a iphone 7+. Camera is wonderful, and broke/technologically naive people give you props for having imessage which is a shameless ego boost. Apple does a great job of updating their devices with security updates. Cons are apple does it's best to trap you into their ecosystem and prevent any sort of DRM free experience. It's understandable business-wise, but it is VERY consumer hostile. iMessage's only true worth is that it works out the box, their are plenty of other messaging platforms that work better or have the same features. Hangouts/Whatsapp/etc

I'm looking to get the Pixel 3 XL in october. I miss being able to exert full control over my phone as a power user. I miss the "alternative" apps for android. I miss being able to download from browsers etc. Customizing the interface is overrated but enjoyable. Con for android as a whole is lack of uniform updates/patches STILL occurring and companies killing off support for devices way too early in the name of driving new sales. Even though they have their faults, I recommend going nexus/pixel/google line of phones if you're going to be on android for the updates. Samsung just does not do enough to support their aging devices.

I have been an Android user for the longest time. Been with almost every brand.....Sony, samsung, huawei, Nokia, LG. You get the drift?
Last week at the park, someone stole my phone. Decided to head to the T-mobile for a new one. I was planning on the Note 8 but the sales dude convinced me on an iPhone.

Damn bruh.

Feels like I have switched from a Cessna plane to a Boeing 747.

Smooth sailing Captain

Can’t mess with Android again.......Hell naw

While u at it, switch from windows to Mac is
