Apple: Switch from Android(apple.com)

    I do think that a lot of the Android hardware is fantastic. My choice would be the Motorola Z series more than Samsung's products. Motorola devices offer a clean native Android experience with only a little extra that ends up enhancing the native experience which makes the Motorola a better device (to me).

    I switch to Android occasionally, and the hardware can be as amazing as it wants to be...the software is simply subpar compared to the equivalent version on iOS. And I find nothing within Apple's hardware that limits me on an iPhone. I find that the camera is just as good, and things like force touch (3d touch? insert marketing name) are very missed on Android. Simple things add up. The only thing I'd really like to see on an iPhone is external storage capabilities (SD card?), but I don't see that coming anytime soon.

      This is a really interesting perspective; as a long-time Android user I feel that the iPhone's primary advantage is in hardware.

        It used to be like this but not anymore. The reason I didn't switch to Android or Windows are apps and the SW ecosystem in general.

          Yeah I think the third-party software ecosystem is better for iPhone, but I disagree it has a general software advantage. There are great, great Android-only apps (terrible ones, too; but that is not unique to either platform). The biggest detractors for Android are Facebook & Snapchat, imo, but that's those companies not caring.
