Hi everyone, I'm sure this topic has been over done, but I would like some opinions on this. I am currently an iOS user with an iPhone SE and MacBook Air so the continuity is seamless and convinient needless to say. However i build my first PC with the help of tom's hardware and now, although still a rookie in tech you can say, sparked a tweaking itch in me lol. Also, would the switch be complicated when moving my content around ? Thanks in advance
Unfortunately this is a very volatile question. Why? because you may have people that are fanboys of one or the other. Really at the end of the day the only person that can answer that question is you and the only way you can come up with that correct answer is if you try it out for yourself.
Pros with sticking with IOS is the seamless connectivity and the it just works mentality.
Switching to android, in my mind, is all about customizability and the freedom to do what you want. But comes with some downfalls if you do not know what you are doing. But the tinkering aspect is very appealing because that is how you learn on how to do new things and how things work.
I have tried both and can say that I am a android fanboy and will never go back to apple and with that being said, I am also a PC fanboy.
Good luck on your quest and I hope you get some really good answers to help you make a decision but don't be surprised if you start to get more replies and people start to get nasty.
great reply! any suggestions you can make for phones and how id go about transfering my things etc? will it be a headache lol ?
In terms of android phones, I would highly recommend sticking with the Nexus line or the new Pixel. Vanilla flavored Android devices in my opinion are the best. The new Pixel is a pretty penny but google made the transition for iphone users very seemless in this iteration. Unfortunately the Nexus line is dead but that doesn't mean you can not still find any. You can either by them used or you can sine up for google Fi and get one. The difference between the Nexus 6P and the Pixel in many people eyes is very small. Which is why many Nexus 6P owners do not feel the need or want to upgrade.
In terms of another android phones there are many to pick from. Like the Galaxy s7, HTC v10, Opus, and the One plus 3. You should need to read some reviews and see which one tickles your pickle. I have had a Galaxy s7 edge and I was not a fan but many people are.
If you have an iPhones and going to andriod.. will it be a headache. The answer I will give you will not like very much. I believe it will depend on the device you have. IE Samsung has a process that is pretty seamless to transfer from iPhone to android, others may not.
Also remember that on your switch there maybe (and I used that term useless) apps that work on the iPhone but do not work on Android because the devs have no made one compatible. One that comes to mind is a app on the iPhone that can read the light output of a room to help photographers get accurate colors. That same app does not have any support on Android. With that being said, if you do have an iPhone, it is possible that all your apps can be transferred fine. At the end of the day you are essentially going from one OS to another. Always expect some headaches and set back and getting things synced.
But all these recommendation from me may not be of any help because of one very important aspect? How much are you willing to spend on a phone and from there you can have a much clearer path on what you would like to get and than start reading the reviews from there.
I hope this helps.
