IPhone vs Android vs Microsoft Phones

Post by Super Nova » Sun Dec 18, 2016 5:59 pm

We have been using windows phones for the last 10 years. My wife loved it because it was simple to use. However we have found that less and less application run on it. Soooo I bought her an IPhone 7 plus for xmas. I chose it over android only because I don't know what android system to choose and I know they have differences.

I will now move to an IPhone with my next upgrade.

I don't even know how to use an IPhone as the user interface seems very different.

What are you guys using? is my IPhone choice the right one?

What is your experience?

Had an iPhone. It was ok but I hated the Itunes software interface and other limitations. Had to plug it into a PC and use that piece of crap if you wanted to add anything to the phone.

Android is far better. You can torrent, download movies and put music and files as easy as dragging and dropping them to a USB memory stick. Download YouTube vids and Stream directly from the phone to a smart tv and the variety of phones can't be beat.

I have an old iphone for four years that I am about to update. Ive kept the old one as in rural areas this particular one has better coverage. It was a 4s.
My friends and family from the city laugh at me for having such an old phone but hey, it still works. The main reason I want to update is size, i want a bigger one that is easier to see.
As I said this one I have was a Telstra blue tick so Ive kept it thinking I'd have better coverage but my wife and son have both recently bought Samsung 7s and they are on Optus and get the same coverage as I do so its time to move on.
My wife had an iphone too but my son talked her into a Samsung. He reckons Iphones are for old people.
Ahh 14 year olds. :rofl
I think I will stick with the iphone as I like how simple they are. I let my son talk me into a Samsung tablet recently having used an ipad for 4 years, the worst thing I ever did.I hate it.
I've already told him he can have this and Im going to buy another ipad.

My son has had Androids and iPhones and he has the iPhone 7 Plus at present and seems to like it. He's always watching videos, tv shows and movies on it. God knows why. I think it is 256 GB because he wanted to upgrade from the iPhone 6 Plus which was 128 GB. I could be wrong though.

I use an older iPhone which was one of their cast offs.

Definitely better value for money from android.

$300 will get you a top notch 5.7" FHD 32GB 3GB RAM with fingerprint reader, dual sim and memory expansion slot.

Don't get an iphone. Apple tries to take over your life and charge you for the priviliege. Get an android.

I paid about $60 for my latest android phone.

I have had an iPhone since they first hit the street. They have advantages and disadvantages that need to be factored in to your own lifestyle . If you like movies, music etc, then iTunes can be a pain in the arse, but there are ways to get around that. I like the auto updates, it links with all my other products, I can transfer data between my phone and the war office quickly and easily. If I need to put another countries sim in, it auto configures straight away - many others don't. It suits me fine, but it all comes down to weighing up the pros and cons. Without stating the bleeding obvious, stacks of info around on the net to assist. Just put all your revquirements in a list and punch into google. Love my I7!
