You goofed when you typed this.

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.

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

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

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

My gosh! This post is riddled with so much falsehood that it borders on outright lies!
1. Some people are still running their iPhone 5(which came out in 2012) on iOS 9...currently we have iOS 11 and those on iOS 9 are still pretty much enjoying their devices.. apple devices obliterate androids on software updates..even a phone like iPhone 5 is supported for a solid four years update program, I can't say the same for a Samsung produced in 2016...

2. When it comes to battery standby performance iPhones are hard to beat..you can charge it to a 100%, leave it overnight and you will still have about 97% left on your phone...provided your battery isn't defective or getting worn out..the iPhone 8plus has been touted as one of the most impressive battery life currently in the market.

3.it is common knowledge that app developers focus more on apple software hence you have much more polished apps on AppStore than on playstore..heck even google apps perform much smoother on iOS devices than on android devices (maybe with the exception of the nexus devices)..

4.while I agree that iOS devices are a bit constricted in file sharing, one can still share pictures,videos via airdrop on apple devices...you can even go further and use Xender to share more between iPhones and android devices, this is 2017 bro!

I have an ipad mini 4,n the bat3 life is damn amazing,better than my samsung tab,an after upgrading i can split d screen to two,multitasking is better on ios than my samsung tab,now let me educate u a little,ios re far better than android,my ipad mini has never lagged,no not once,the smoothness is premium,its thinner than a oencil,n very light,it has one of the best apps i have seen on mobile,security wise she is a monster,fast,nothing like going off or freezing,so many advantages.......
Now to the o.s part,andriod phones especially samsung will giv u max of two major updates n thats all,can u believe the iphone 5 is still been supported by ios,a phone launched in 2013,still been supported by 2017,in other words u can update n upgrade ur iphone 5 to the latest ios,tell me one samsung phone of 2013 that u can update to the latest android version(oreo) just one,ios will support ur device for 4-5yrs so u dont really have to buy another one if you dont have the cash yet,to me thats the best,and thats premium service,how can i be buying a phone like samsung for such price and after a year no more updates,n sometimes samsung delays update to thier phones,however i get to update my ios in any country under 8-10hrs of a new update,everyone has reasons y they choose what ever o.s they re using,i wanted selling my ipad mini 4 to get the newer models,buh she is still serving me well so i changed my mind,n the thought of using the samsung tab b4 buying the ipad pro makes me wonna throw up...........so yea i stick to my ios,thanks.

Realistically, this isnt true.

Control and power are different. If you have so much, you probably will abuse it.. Android give u so much power that these days its abused by hackers.... Iphone on the othet hand gives u as much as u require.

Iphone x got battery right though.
You could jailbreak ur iphone for customizations.

'Multitasking' in itself is scam, you can honestly do one thing at a time, even if you initiate several processes, you can only deal with one at a time.

Iphones last much longer than most android phones..

Android or iPhone what is the essence of buying phone worth hundreds of thousand naira without a support Center in your country? I bought a Sony phone 140k in August 2016 only to realise there was no Sony support Center in Nigeria few months after when the phone screen got damage. Though very powerful with interesting features but most of the luxury added advantage does not cover my country Nigeria.

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.

Battery life in IPhone is way better than Android. U need not argue with this

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.

Why would an iPhone user want to customize is iPhone to look like an Android wen he can easily get an android phone?
U Android phone love iPhone too much that u want ur IPhone interface so it seem like u using an iPhone. Y’all re hypocrite.
Ve u seen iPhone users customize their phone to look like Android?


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.

In multitasking u can only use one app at a time u can’t use 2/3 apps at once. I ve 32 apps in my phone and I ve opened all without my phone hanging I bet android users can’t do this

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.

I find this very hard to believe. I think u were meant to say there re thousands of gaming app in the AppStore than u can find in play store.
Don’t forget app first get developed in fir iPhone users before android think about u guys. U guys only get the left overs from us


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.

With the help of Xander nd airdrop I can do all that. No stress[/]

[b]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.

This shouldn’t be a yardstick. U can’t tell me cos i ve money to buy an suv cos of price I should go for a bus? That’s where choice comes in

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.

Wen u really considered this u would know some android screen are way way more expensive than iPhone screen. I was to change Samsung note 4 screen some weeks ago guess how much? I was told 45 - 60k that’s a phone that came out around 2014 or so even iPhone 5s screen is not as expensive as this. Even a Samsung S5 screen cost 28k can u imagine?

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.

This clearly shows u ve never use an iPhone before
U only move along with the bandwagon who bad mouth apple product


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.

The maximum period an IOS user wait fir update is 1/2months j can’t say same for android users that wait 6montgs or never to get updates
The only iOS user who stays that long to get updates re those that jailbreak their iPhone


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.

Choice my brother CHOICE. No be by force yo I use iPhone nd no be by force to use android too na ur choice.

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
