I’ve had iphones for several years now, in fact my last 4 mobiles have been iphones. I’ve often thought about making the move to something different but have always ended up sticking with what I know.
Anyway, the latest iphone is starting it’s usual self destruct process that iphones seem to do after a couple of years. I’m sure Apple intentialy make them so that they develope subtle issues as they get older so that we upgrade.
So today I decided to take the leap and I’ve bought myslef a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. I did a bit of research to find out if people that had done the same got on with the Samsung, but it seemed to be a bit of a mixed bag, with some people loving their new phone and others wishing they’d stuck with Apple.
Any of you moved away from Apple phones? If so, what did you get and are you glad you changed to something different?
Samsung Galaxy S6 dropped through the letterbox today. Lovely phone. Always been Android so not a ‘changer’. The Guardian review of the S6 called it ‘the Iphone Killer’. About bloody time. Apple fanboys are almost as tedious as PS4 fanboys.
Never been an Apple person, anyone that has one is paying much more money for an inferior product, so is frankly a trend following moron. Let’s put it this way, you don’t get any developers worth their salt running an IPhone.
Bit harsh!! Whatever you think of Apple, the iphone is a great phone. Over priced? Maybe… But I don’t think calling their users trend following morons is particulary fair.
Got the S6 a few weeks ago when I renewed my contract, fucking gorgeous phone. Samsung products have always served me well - my S4 mini was only just starting to give up the ghost after 2 years of solid service. Only ever turned that phone off when I was on a plane or at a festival, so it did well!
I switched to HTC about 18 months ago. Never looked back. Dropped it a few times but as one of the earlier phones with a metal case, not plastic, it’s dented but works perfectly.

My initial Android phone, a Galaxy S3, was somewhat flaky compared to my iPhone4. But that’s the last iPhone I chose to own, and I haven’t really looked back. When the iPhone5 launched with one of its marketing taglines being “an extra row of icons”, I thought “yep, these people aren’t making products for me”.
For me, it’s a similar deal to Macs and PCs. People that don’t mind digging into things will get a lot more out of Droid, imo. It’s tons more customisable. Downsides are that you have to be careful about vendor bloat, and keep an eye on how quickly various manufacturers tend to push out their updates.
I’m still rocking a HTC One M8, easily the nicest phone I’ve owned to date. Big upgrade next year.

Just buy a PS4 dude. You won’t be this person anymore
i disagree cos all my Apple things work by pure magic, whereas to keep my Windows laptop even halfway functional i have to have degree in computer science. That makes apple bros harry potters cos we use Magic to make our phone calls, and other bros Muggles cos they use Science.
People don’t want to customise, they want things to be easy and work.
That’s the beauty of apple, windows and Microsoft and all that wankdom is that wankdom.
Most people want simplicity and a functional laptop etc not a tardis or something that requires 74 updates every lunar moon cycle to post on a forum.
