This is the first I have heard of expanding batteries. Do you have your
phone in a hot place, in the sun?
I'm sure there is at least one android fan on here who will chime in about
how great they are.
Take care,
Lois

Two things to add to Kelly's solid points:
1. There is no one to call when you have Android issues, you are at the
mercy of whatever store you bought it from and good luck there.
2. In my office, at least 6 years ago, our office switched from
Blackberries, to iPhones for the 30 plus empoyees who need a mobile phone as
part of their job. Many of these folks are less than technically inclined.
No one has had issues like you are describing on any of their phones and
everyone has had at least two iPhones in that time period.
Have you taken any of these phones to Apple and what have they said could be
the cause?
In my household, we've gone through two iPhone 5s's that we had for almost 4
years, three iPod touches and two iPad mini's; and none of them had battery
issues. They were replaced due to choosing to upgrade.
Well, except for the first iPad Mini whose WiFi antenna died which Aple
replaced at no charge. They replaced the device, not the antenna, and it
was 3 months beyond the Apple Care coverage.
Now, on to my nutral opinion of android, or perhaps not so nutral, grin.
Very little is easy to do on an android compared to an iPhone. They have
far fewer gestures, because you have to dive into menus to do many things
which takes more steps than using the rotor. I teach both to people mostly
over 55, and iPhones are significantly easier for people to learn.
HTH,
Richard

Your problems are covered under Apple’s one year warrantee and Apple
Care, which list members strongly recommend. Did you bring your
hardware problems to Apple so they could be addressed? Remember
different Android companies have differently engineered phones. In
2016, some Samsung phones had exploding batteries. In 2017, Google
XLII phones had ghosting issues on their screens. Everyone wants to
claim they make a device as good as or better than Apple, but when
these companies scale up production, their phones have problems. Then
company executives refuse to answer questions, like with Google’s
phones.

I know "android" is supposed to be a naughty word, but I need some
honest feedback.
I have been an IPhone user for about the last 6 years. However every
year or two my phone dies. I have had two phones where the battery
actually expanded and pushed the glass off the front of the phone, and
now my battery is not holding a charge for more than an hour or two.
I used an android phone back in the day when they didn't come with
touch screens, and I haven't tried on with the touch screen yet.
What I have been reading is that android accessibility is not as
mature as that of IOS, and if that is the case I would stick with
IPhone, but I am tired of exploding phones :)
I am not a social media kind of guy, and would use the phone for
making and receiving phone calls sending and receiving texts
navigating using maps while walking of apps like nearby explorer.
Any feedback is welcome. I do realize this list will be pro ios by
its nature, but any alternate views would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Don
