I don't see why this is such a big deal that the Apple dictatorship thinks users are intellectually incapable of handling more than a single button on their phone. |

I got a Samsung s8 a couple months ago. Really miss my iPhone.
Very much prefer my old iphone 6 to the Samsung. Should have brought it back during the 14 day refund period.

I want to like Android, and their hardware is usually better but their OS totally blows. Unless you get a Google Device.. OS updates are practically non existent. Once your device gets beyond 2 years old you can pretty much forget about updates for most Android platforms. And if you have a carrier branded phone your carrier is gonna take their sweet sweet time adding in their bloatware before sending you any updates.... if they even decide to release it to you in the first place.
Is IOS perfect... no... but I can at least count on them continually developing and updating my device for 4 or 5 years and giving the middle finger to cell phone carriers wanting to add in their bloatware. |

They ask you for the language and if you have n Apple/Google account and if you want to turn on certain features now or later. Not sure what was complicated either. I've used both and don't have a problem with either. I prefer iOS simply because the apps seem more polished my son prefers Android. |

I've had great success with my Android based phones, and guess what - they don't need updates to continue funtioning perfectly. I guess your Apple phones need help along the way, and that's OK too.

Anyway, the benchmarks don't equal real world use, but iPhones also tend to load apps faster, start up faster, etc. It doesn't really matter which phone you use and prefer, some people like to customize their shit, some people are still on the stock background and have like 10 apps. Who gives a fuck what phone someone uses? Each OS has its perks. I don't like fucking with my phone, all I do is email, text, call, internet, and navigation. If you have a need for more shit, get a Samsung phone. Big deal. No need to get so tore up about it. |

I seriously don't get Apple. My Galaxy S5 has soldiered on and is continuing to soldier on now that I replaced the battery. I can configure it with widgets so that I don't have to hunt for simple things like looking up the weather, I can download music directly to the phone without going through that shitty iTunes program, and I can even us it as an external hard drive to bring my work files home with me. There are a dozen reasons why my phone is my own R2-D2. In the meantime Apple phones have the exact same interface they've always had. The only reason why people have the insane need to upgrade their perfectly good phones is because it's fashionable among the millenials. I've been off contracts for years, so I buy an android (always a Samsung) and prepaid services. Right now I'm using Walmart's Straight Talk system because it uses Verizon towers. $45 gets me 10g's of data/month (I use only 4ish). That and whatever $100 Android is on sale every few years. Contracts are rape. |
