Lol...I would advise you leave all these written facts and buy an iPhone to compare

This is why I like those white guys, they don’t argue baseless arguments, they would get both phones and battle them out

*iPhone X is better than almost all smartphones now, I think only with the exception of those monster NeXus phones out there

With the new A11 chip sef, iPhones are getting as fast as your average core i7 laptops

my brother i have been living abroad for donkey years owning an iphone or samsung is next to nothing .......so don't get it twisted i have used both and i am telling u from my experience....over here is teenage kids and little kids who go for iphones while the adults go for samsung ok

Funny how I didn’t see any kid with Iphone and adults with Samsung when I was in Dubai last month

Sir, leave all those, there ain’t nothing like kids and adults, it’s choice, my mum prefers Samsung to any other phone on the earth, my dad prefers any phone within the brand of Samsung and iPhone, he uses both, and he doesn’t stay in Nigeria, I personally prefer Apple, cos they offer me better apps

Its a matter of choice, but, its a known fact that iPhones are more of productive phones than Samsung phones, they just work better

If you open your eyes and read my post very well. You'll see where I typed that

I'm not an iPhone user but you can never compare the multitasking on iPhone to android. iPhone is better in this regard please.

Next time, read very well but trying to prove you are right coz the person you are trying to prove wrong might be right too.
“Yes, an iPhone can multitask definitely, but this can’t be compared to what an Android device does. An Android device can open as many as 50 applications on the spot and at the same time, it would keep all your information on each application intact without freezing or lagging. Do you think iPhones are made for this? Not at all”
That was what i quoted,but the way u 1st quoted it didnt appear like it was quoted,u can recheck......tekia.

I've used all brands of phones: BlackBerry, Android and iPhone. The most annoying of them all is the iPhone because their abilities are limited, but point 8 is NOT true!

The OP is a crapy writer!
iPhone 1600mah can last more than 2500mah of and average android device,
Multitasking is an apple device phenomenal because no chance on earth that the device will hang ,
File share in iPhone is very very possible (air drop, xender)
Can you compare iphone x design to Samsung note 8
1gb ram of iPhone is far better than 3gb of android... gaming on apple device is dope..

I use both operating systems

what you are saying Doesn't sound like a lot of sense...
first we are talking figures there is no way in the man 1gb ram is more than 3gb ram. as the op said iPhone doesn't multitask like android and so the chance of noticing lag is reduced...
the one with the battery capacity is totally wrong except you are implying that android gives out wrong specs which I can confirm is not true...
my android has 5000mah and I know how long that last
let me leave you with this analogy
what u said is like saying that a speed of 80mph on a bike is lesser than 40mph on a car cos the car is more expensive

That is cos Apple optimizes the performance
Its easy now, imagine a quad core processor, it has 4 processors, doesn’t make it any faster than a core i3 processor with only one processor

The evidence can be seen in iPhone cameras, where the highest you can find is 12mp on iPhone 8,8+ and X, and 12mp on an Android phone produces crappy pictures

I agree with you on the fact that they lost the designs after IPhone 6, but, I happened to use an iPhone 6(1GB RAM) and it was better in performance than my sister’s Samsung S7 edge of 4GB RAM...I’m not making this up, I personally did the comparison myself, by opening as many apps as possible and loading as many tabs as I could in their browsers

hmm i ll look into this..i know the IOS and windows OS is lighter but 1 to 3gb is quite much
Re: 10 Reasons To Dump Apple Iphone For An Android Phone by Juniorbuba(m): 8:40am On Dec 14, 2017
Another reason:

You can root your android and access the sub-system and be able to do things independent OS's can't..

I've been an android fan since day one rocking my Samsung galaxies as they churn them out...then I made a switch to iPhone (very big mistake) its a great phone no doubt but very limited in some aspects. I sold it for cheap just to put myself out of its misery n return to android.
Re: 10 Reasons To Dump Apple Iphone For An Android Phone by Ayomideen(m): 8:46am On Dec 14, 2017
A lot of people have the impression dah only poor people or people who can't afford Iphones use android devices

9. You are wrong Android get updates late sometimes it takes years while iOS within days you get updates

Well it only takes months to receive updates on Android phone sans Pixels and Nexi which takes days

iOS updates are crap. They are meant to fix a bug and create another hug, it takes updates to have a stable iteration of iOS.

Ugoeze2016:


Everyone knows iPhones are classy, beautiful and unique. They are also expensive and specially made for a certain class of consumers. Many iPhone users buy the device because of the class and value, not because they really need it or prefer it to Android phones. However, this might be the time to switch to an operating system that is actually made for every human – Android. Android devices are the most popular and most purchased devices in the market. They are fun to use, and have a host of advantages over their iOS counterparts.

We are not trying to devalue the classy iPhone, we are only telling you Android-powered devices can help you do all the stuffs you want to do on iOS at a fraction of the time, money, and more. Below are some reasons why you should consider switching from an iPhone to an Android device.

1. BATTERY LIFE

iPhone has delivered poorly when it comes to battery capacity. The battery doesn’t last long, and for those who do lots of tasks with their smart hand-held devices, iPhone is not an option. On the other hand, Android devices battery capacity varies from device to device. Presently, there are some batteries that could last you for a whole week when fully charged. No version of Apple’s famed device is close to beating that.

2. CUSTOMIZATION

Android phones can be customized to look exactly like an iPhone; this phenomenon is impossible with an iPhone. There are people who have downloaded an open source application that brings almost all the functions of an iPhone to their Android device. Android can be customized to suit the owner; you can use different applications to change the entire content and look of the phone. You can as well turn the entire Android home screen to the popular Windows 10 interface. This is an amazing feature of Android that can’t be found on an iPhone.

3. MULTITASKING

Yes, an iPhone can multitask definitely, but this can’t be compared to what an Android device does. An Android device can open as many as 50 applications on the spot and at the same time, it would keep all your information on each application intact without freezing or lagging. Do you think iPhones are made for this? Not at all.

4. GAMES AND UTILITY APPLICATIONS

There are thousands of games and utility applications on both Google and Apple stores. However, iPhone are limited to the games and apps found in the store. Android devices on the other hand, are powered in such a way that they can download games and apps on several websites.

5. FILE SHARING

Sharing files from an iPhone to another device is a formal task on its own. At times, it is virtually impossible to send or receive files from a friend. In truth, using an older version of iOS could mean that your device can’t even connect to a newer iPhone. But on an Android, there are multiple apps that you can use for file sharing from your device to any other device. Besides, Bluetooth is always handy.

6. PRICE

An iPhone is extremely expensive compared to an Android device. Android devices have a wide price range, and anyone can find a smartphone that fits his pocket. However, iPhone come at very expensive prices that most iPhone users buy the outdated ones which of course, come at lower prices. With an outdated iPhone, you are getting nothing new because all the features would have become ubiquitous on other devices.

7. COST OF REPAIR

Repairing a smartphone is expensive these days. The reason is most likely that the major issues users have are screen-related, and replacing those screens come at high prices. However, with an iPhone, you just don’t want to have any problem at all. Else, you might be paying to the repairman, the cost of a new Android device. More so, repairmen understand Android phones much more than iPhone which is one of the reasons why repairing Android devices is quite cheaper compared to Apple’s flagship devices.

8. TEXT GETS DELETED AT LOCK SCREEN

One other disadvantage of iPhone over Android is when you are typing and your phone locks, maybe after minutes of not pressing, iPhone is programmed to delete the text and erase it from its memory automatically. Android, on the other hand, keeps such information. In fact, you will still see the text as drafts even if the device is powered off.

9. UPDATES

With iOS, you have to upgrade to the latest OS versions if you want to enjoy your device. However, Android gives users the freedom to upgrade or not while ensuring that users have the leverage to use even the most recent features on older versions.

10. CHOICE

As earlier said, Android is an open platform that is used by lots of manufacturers. This makes the Android market very open as users can choose to buy any smartphone of their choice. You are not limited to a single company as Samsung, HTC, Tecno, Infinix, Sony, Motorola, LG, and more contest for your naira. This is more interesting and gives you the power to choose compared to iPhone. Apple is the sole manufacturer of iPhone, and you are only limited to a particular phone every year or two, with iterations such as iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus.

Conclusion

iPhones are great, but there are Android phones that rival its greatness and even come top at times. Swapping the disadvantages of an iPhone for the benefits of an Android device is a decision you should make, especially if you want a device that gives you optimum battery capacity and possesses all the attributes above.

Have you recently switched from an iPhone to any android phone? Why the move? Let's share our experiences and learn from each other

Of all the reason you gave, the number 7 reason is the main reason I can't leave my iPhone, you wrote your write up based on hear say, not what you know. Am an iPhone user and a semi repairer as well. I fix my iPhone screen myself, I actually learned fixing iPhones by myself, that's because of the less complex nature of the iPhone, unlike other Android phones, I spoilt my Samsung Note 3 with my hands after repairs went wrong due to the complex nature of the phone. Getting a matching screen or frame for most Android is usually a mammoth task, but any where I find an iPhone that is same as mine, I can start harvesting all the parts and I would have no single issue.. Can you try that with Samsung devices?

For me every other issue aside, repair cost and security(iCloud) is the major reason I would keep using my iPhone.

1,3,4,7 are trash

Especially multitasking, no phone comes above iPhones for that, they almost never lag, I can open more than 100 diff apps on my iPhone 8 and still browse diff tabs smoothly

Battery life has gotten waaay better from iPhone 8 upwards

Cost of repair? Are you kidding me? I remember repairing my iPhone 6 screen for about 3k earlier this year and a friend of mine had to pay 30k for a Samsung Galaxy s5

All phone lags. Samsung screens are costly and its the best in the game.

The reason why fixing it was easier is because Apple uses same part for phones. iPhone 6 to 8 literally have common internals but same can't be said about Samsung.

There are series if iCloud alternatives on Android which does literally the same thing

Easy with your lies.

Why did Apple increase the RAM size to 2GB on iPhone 6s?
Why did Apple increase the RAM size to 3GB on iPhone 7 plus?

1GB is supposed to be enough na. Lol
