so, as mentioned in a previous thread, i'm a pissed off with android - it's horribly fragmented (i.e. no 2 android phones are the same, different versions all over the place), and phone manufacturers/carriers keep pushing updates to handsets that can't necessarily handle it, etc.. as a result, i have recently started thinking the unthinkable - dumping android for an iphone..
i already have an ipad, so am reasonably familiar with iOS, but i've never really used an iphone beyond pressing a few buttons on a mate's.. the only thing i can think of that i would miss is swiftkey - the stock iOS keyboard & prediction is crap, whereas swiftkey is manna from keyboard-heaven.. however, given all the other problems with android, the thought of a nice, unified, closed system which is the same for all developers (resulting in more consistent, stable, compatible apps) makes this a price i'm considering paying..
that being said, as i say i haven't really used an iphone, so is there anything else i'm missing?
people bang on about "but you can't change the battery, or SD card " - well, i consider myself an "intermediate" user (i.e. i'm far from a beginner, but i'm not a hardcore nerd who puts a new ROM on every week) and i can honestly say i've never wanted/needed to change either in my current phone, so this doesn't bother me in the slightest.. i don't use my phone as a music/media player, and even when i do everything is stored on the cloud these days - and i have both icloud and dropbox accounts, which i use extensively, thus negating the need for massive local storage..
so yeah, has anyone else made the transition from android to iphone, and found anything they've missed/hated/loved/etc?
