The experience heavily depends on what you are used to. I had Apple products and use Android now. A Android user fetching an iPhone/iPad is missing a back button immediately and feels uncomfortable. Same with notifications. Apple copied a lot of this stuff as it was missing a long time.
The apple products I used (iPad1,2,Air) are very well built and long lasting. With the different Flavors of android there are differences between devices. Samsung now starts the camera on double tapping the home button while with older samsungs this started s-voice. Some have seperate Camera Buttons ... Apple is more consistent but you cant select ... My main reason not to buy apple ist the pricing. A smartphone is a tool that may be dropped and killed. So it makes a difference if I drop $1000 or $400. And I like the amoled screens from samsung very much. Now I have a S6 edge which even the apple fans I know praise for the design. You ever used QI? Great feature. I just drop my phone and it gets powered. The phone rings while powered. I just take it. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Af [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Travis Johnson > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 6.
