This
or that?
I used iOS 5 years before I got an android.
It was a gift, actually - a Galaxy Note 3 that I've had for two years.
I had an iPhone 5 before (I don't know where it is now) and loved it.
iMessage, FaceTime, the camera, the display, all my apps and games - even unlocking the phone was fun (I'm lonely okay?)
I never thought I could part from Apple's platform - then I got an Android for Christmas.
I didn't ask for one, but my dad got the same phone and thoughtfully decided to get me one too.
So, I've been stuck with it for two years - and I never thought I'd say this, but it's perfect for me!
The stylus mostly. I'm an artist, so being able to write and sketch ideas on the go is amazing ; it's like a modern day Palm Pilot.
I have (almost) the same apps as my iPhone (sans GTA III, Mass Effect Infiltrator and all my zombies games, unfortunately.)
But which do I like better and who should go with what?
I think Mac users would do well to stay with iPhone - unless you're a developer, in which case you should have both.
The Android offers more customization and flexibility better for the power-users that would take advantage of that; the Android also oftentimes has a better price for the storage and features, than iPhone does.
The iPhone does offer the iCloud service between devices and Continuity features - allowing you to seamlessly switch between different devices and pick up right where you left off with writing emails, browsing photos, composing docs (with word processors spreadsheets and presenter apps), watching video, replying to text messages and even taking phone calls (on Mac).
On the technical side it's really between wanting thorough options and customization over your phone - or Apple-specific features.
Try them both out. Which text messaging screen, home screen, apps and features do you like best?
Off the record, I think an iPad mini is a great device to have around the house either way; and many users can do well with having an Android phone and an iPad - or just an iPhone.
But at the end of the day, the lines are thinning in difference between the two - they're both copying each other now anyway.
Seriously, which is which?
Go with the device who's features, interface and design you like the most and you'll have the perfect device for (two) more years to come!
