Just committed a Tech Geek Cardinal Sin. Went from Iphone to Android back to Iphone

[Dr. Acula]

After downloading lollipop () and a host of other issues with my Samsung galaxy 4, I decided to make my way back to iOS.

Went from iphone>HTC One>S4> Iphone 6 Plus () and don't regret it at all.

Android used to be appealing as it allowed a host of apps, functions, and modifications you couldn't get on Iphones. However, after using it for a while there were a lot of inconsistent performance issues with various apps, having to wait for individual carriers to update the OS at their own time with some phones only 2 models old being removed from the upgrade list, and a host of other performance issues just led me to say fukk it. I'm done.

Not to mention Touchwiz is trash. I understand you can install stock android and stuff but didn't feel like dealing with that.

At the end of the day, after using both, I have to say that iOS has a lot of advantages over android. Mainly the the central focus towards one brand of devices utilizing the OS and that seems to lead, at least from an anecdotal perspective, to a more consistent and optimized experience.

Not to mention, again, Lollipop is trash. It fukking ruined my phone. Crashing left and right in apps and certain features just not performing like they used to.

After my lollipop experience, cant say that I blame you.

There's a reason why after years of Android I'm switching. Lollipop was cool for a bit then I realized it was ass. I just want consistent performance. Android aint there yet.

I don't understand when people say they don't feel like getting into rooting etc..

The whole process of rooting, installing a customer recovery and rom, if you please, takes about 5 minutes these days.

I'd still rather deal with that than any restrictions I may encounter with an Iphone.

Yep, I'm doing the exact same thing when I qualify for an upgrade.

I went from the iPhone 4s to Galaxy s4 back to iPhone 6 plus.

Androids phones are trash. You already have someone in this thread saying "why don't you root"

When I pay for a product the shyt needs to work good out of the box. I'm not using my phone for anything spectacular, just basic functions and that shyt galaxy phone couldn't do that, stay charged, or not overheat.

I know everybody has an opinion, but as I've said before if anyone truly prefers Iphone over Android then they are just basic users and have no clue what to do with the technology that's out there. If ppl knew what they were doing then Tasker alone would leave Iphones stuck on the shelf

Yes, I have Apple devices and they tend to collect dust unless my wife is using them

I mean...it really comes down to that. If you don't have the know how to take advantage of the capabilities in Android, alright. I prefer the simplicity of ios sometimes. At least I did. I miss the snappiness compared to my sometimes rickety G3, but id easily take the customization options and ease of drag n drop.

If I do go back to iPhones sometime in the future it means I probably have a dedicated Android tablet

I loved my HTC One M8.............................................until i upgraded to Lollipop. This thing runs like ass now. The damn wifi is slow, you cant control your music from the lock screen, and last week my theme changed for no reason.

Same thing happened to my last Android phone, shyt was running perfectly then an upgrade came through and fukked everything. Im tired of this. I feel like the phone i purchased is not guaranteed to be the phone i will have next month. Next phone i get will definitely be an iPhone.
