Android to iPhone

[decoy]

i started off with a nokia then a few xda,s(htc before they became big)then a sony 900(loved that phone)thenthe crappy n95(got it changed foc after 3 month because as far as im concerned you should be able to make a phone call on a phone)a dell streak then the note 1 and 3(i need the big screens so my huge fingers can text lol

tbh what i allways ask peps when they want a new phone is what do you use it for apart from calls and text
for pics nocia are the ones to beat
for tunes sony
for everything samsung
for best bang per buck nexus
for being ripped of ipoo

Wouldn't be without my iPhone. I have tried android twice. Once with a nexus 4 and once with a moto g. I lasted all of two weeks with both before putting them back in the box and putting my sim back on my iPhone 5.

I always hear people banging on about how closed off apples iOS is and how 'open' android is. Maybe because I always jailbreak and never upgrade until the jailbreak is available, but this is completely lost on me. There's is zero the android phones could do that I can't do on my iPhone. I don't use iTunes to buy music, I download music from whoever service I want and drag it to my iTunes library and click sync. Hardly any more difficult that dragging and dropping. Only music I have from iTunes is stuff I've downloaded on my phone when I've been out, heard a song a liked and grabbed it before I forgot. I can customise my phone how I want. Themes. Tones. Messaging apps. I don't get the 'it's more open' argument at all.

In the end the deal breaker was the lack of decent browsers (I wrongly assumed the browser I use on my iPhone would be available on android) and no tap to the top. That and the keyboard (even swiftkey etc) was appalling to use.

As for price. I buy outright and get a sim only. Cost me £780 over two years. £540 for the phone then a £10 sim only, currently get 1000mins. 5000sms and 1gb data. I sell the old iPhone for usually around £200-£250(depending on what accessories I have with it) put that in a savings account and add £10 a month to it. Two years later I have enough to upgrade and start again. I've done this with every iPhone since the 3G. But will be keeping the 5 for another year as opposed to the usual two since I'm strapped cash wise right now, and I don't like large phones so am hoping they refresh the 4" line next year.

For me you can keep your 4k screens and 3gb ram. I'll stick to iPhones thanks.
