I just made the switch two weeks ago to an I5 from a Gnex that I have had since release.
Why did I make the switch. Basically it's the iPad Mini to blame. I had a Xoom, and had been wanting to buy a Nexus 7, but after looking around, and playing with the mini at the Apple store, I defected, and bought the mini
I liked the mini so much, that I bought a Mbp... It's like an addiction
I started to build roms on the Mbp for the Gnex, and was liking Osx so much better than Windows (I really like Linux as well) that I was really starting to like Apple. A lot.
So next thing I know, I'm at Verizon buying an I5
So far, I am more than happy. The battery life has been so much better. It really blows me away to be able to use my phone all day, and not worry if I need to plug in to the charger or swap the battery for a spare. I thought my battery life was better than average on my Gnex as well.
The iOS is a little boring compared to Android, but everything works, and works well. No lag, no FC's. It just works.
The size was weird for a day or two, but I have now adapted and like the smaller size and lighter weight. I also like the feel.
I like the screen colors a lot better as well (anyone that has had a Gnex will understand this
)
You can download the remote app from the app store to control AppleTV. I have it on the I5 as well as the Mini. It's easy to use and gives a more modern feel than just using the included remote.
Photostream has been pretty cool, but as was stated, I prefer dropbox as well.
I would recommend giving the iPhone a try. I still have my Gnex, and will keep it as I still build roms for it, and may pick up an N4 for dev work (once they become more availble to purchase
), but for now, the I5 will be the daily driver for the future, till the next iPhone arrives
