I understand that your next mobile, will be an Android then

I had a Galaxy S5 for a week. Didn't like it. Sent it back.

I now have both Android and Apple phones that I use. Oh joy.


My new job doesn't reimburse for phone use, but they will give us an iPhone with service. So now I take my work phone to work, and my personal phone gets put in my pocket after work.

This had made me get more familiar with the Apple OS, and was confusing for a few days as I kept reverting back to Android train of thought. But having gotten used to it, the same pros and cons still exist with each phone. Android can do a lot more really, but the user interface changes phone to phone. Apple is simple to use and uniform, and that makes it user friendly. I was actually shocked at basic things that are hard to do with the iPhone though.

Both of my Android phones have had larger screens than the 5c I get from work, but it really hasn't bothered me as much as expected. We also get an iPad from work, and having the two devices so similar makes the use really easy, as well as sharing. I'm not sure if anyone in the Android world has thought of doing that yet, making a phone and pad have the same functions/interface. It sure makes it simple when it works that way.


On a side note, last weekend we went to a function and my daughter didn't take her phone. (This in itself was amazing and could be a long story about my shock!) But at some point she picked up my phone when my wife called, and was messing with it afterwards. With her having had an iPod touch for years before she got her iPhone, she was boggled at the amount of stuff on my Android phone, but didn't like it and thought it was complex to work.



So which one is better?

I still don't know, and both have their place.

I'm probably going to get an iPhone 6 for Christmas I think.

This is a nice comparison of every iPhone running speed tests. Top number is single core processing, bottom is dual core.

What I hadn't appreciated is just how massive the difference is between the 4S and the 5S and how little difference there is between the 5 and 6, obviously the focus there is on the bigger screen size.

It's a very bendy phone!

I would say try it first it's massive!

I have seen a video about, so I will first test it myself, then I will decide. And I got plenty of time for that !
