Re: Apple iPhone : Not Missed

But otherwise iOS is business as usual for the last 6 years. This may very well be because it WORKS. I dunno, I don't support change for the sake of change, but I suppose I more or less simply grew tired of the status quo.

I'm not going to go so far as to say the Android is better than iOS, but it definitely allows the user to do more. Don't like the way your screens or apps are arranged? No prob. Don't like your keyboard? No prob. I'm enjoying the freedom that the HTC gives me.... But I agree that the utopia set up, regulated, and enforced by Apple in their phones is comfortable. It just got boring.

Oh, and the battery on my HTC One lasts all day under heavy use. My iPhone 5 couldn't do that :(
Thats a fair point of view, I dont think one is better then the other, but I also dont think one is any worse. while their have not been a lot of big changes in iOS. I run into a lot of people who seem to be under the impression that their are tons of ground breaking features that Android offers that iOS cant match. while in reality the differences are mostly related to user interface customization which can be a very good reason to pick android, but not necessarily ground breaking.


on a side note, a coworker just purchased the HTC One this weekend and I do admit it is a pretty slick phone.

I'm more along the same line as MagicGlock. I absolutely LOVE my MacBook, and I'll never go back to a windows computer again. Ever. Apple has done it right with their laptops, desktops, and tablets as far as I'm concerned. Their phones are just... Antiquated.

They work well, that's not being contested by me. But I got tired of how limited my iPhone was. Once CNET started reporting on the HTC One being a possible iPhone killer... With a solid aluminum body to boot, I started researching. The plastic build quality of previous android devices has kept me away for a while-- I took advantage of HTC doing the right thing here.

I'm not sorry. I miss some things... The camera in the iPhone 5 was limited in function, but it worked really well. The camera in my One is awesome, especially with all its related software... But the pic quality isn't as good.
I actually have the exact opposite opinion, while I own a macbook air and enjoy using it. I still prefer windows to OSX (this could come from the field I work in) while OSX is a very easy to use OS and is great for a home computer that is used for school work or browsing the web I couldnt ever have it as my primary PC (the only exceptions are those of you who work in the Video / photography / biology fields)

I would be interested in what people think is Antiquated about the iOS and what big features their andriod phones have that the iphone is lacking though. :tiphat:


and for anyone interested here is a review on the iphone 5 cameras vs the HTC one. end result, it depends on what you use your camera for. you will generally get better low light phones with the HTC one and better colors on well lit photos with the iphone5
