Angry Android Users Defecting To Apple? - Comments Page 3

I retired from one of the two largest carriers, so I speak from much, much experience. I'm anti-Apple anything, mostly because it's stupidly over-priced for the same products.
That being said, from the beginning when they first released Androids I've been hooked. I've had all kinds of phones, Motorolas, HTC, LG, Samsung. I keep going back to Motorola. I love the Droid Maxx and the next phone will be a Moto as well. I have so many friends with iPhones and all they ever have are issues with sluggishness, with connections. I never have those problems, so I guess I'm an android person for life.

I will NEVER EVER switch to an iphone. They are nothing but a status symbol. Too expensive for what you get and apps are limited. If some company only has apps for an iPhone I will not buy from them. Give me anything but an iPhone!!

I'm one of those folks who finds Apple products very confusing and not user friendly at all. I'll take Android any day. To me it's very simple to learn, and prices won't break the bank. I love my Galaxy 4.

User of Using a Samsung3 and yes, I am having battery drain issues, big time but until the iphone starts using an SD card, I won't even consider a switch.

I've never been keen on having an iPhone. Have used BlackBerry for several years now and recently purchased a Blackberry Passport on EBay (2nd hand but in excellent condition.) I get 3G and 4G through EE (part o the Orange Group in the U.K.) I'm Really pleased with the phone performance and get up to 18 hours use from one charge if I am acreful with WiFi usage. Apps are improving all the time as I use the phone as a book reader (wide screen 66 characters) and can view spreadsheets, circuit diagrams etc easily. The apps and OS prompt or update automatically when I connect to WiFi at home each day and I'm not charge for this! It would be interesting to hear whether anyone else has switched to Blackberry - I know we can all have glitches with the multitude of OS's, hardware, software and apps but I'm feeling quietly smug with my choice at the moment.

My wife and I are both on Credo, which is a Sprint network re-seller. A year ago, we upgraded to Nexus 5 phones. My wife lost hers, and now has a Galaxy S4. My Nexus was upgraded to Marshmallow withing days of release, but the S4 is still running Lollipop, and I'll wager it won't ever get the latest OS. I'm a fan of having the latest OS, be it phones or PCs. We're due for a free upgrade in a year, and will decide then if we want to go over to the dark side and get iPhones.

You say you bought the Motorola Moto x at Staples for a penny. Was that on sale in the fall? I called them just now and the rep (there only 3 months) wasn't aware of any such deal. Did you get the phone with a 2-year service package? (Can you reply to my email?)

EDITOR'S NOTE: It's still on the Staples website.
