Any Android switcher here?

Had a 4 then moved to a few different android devices. Tried the 6+ last year but I missed android so went with a Nexus 6. Had a terrible experience with it, mainly Lollipop being so buggy (how they can release software like that is beyond me), terrible camera (shutter speed too slow) and inconsistent battery life (some days would last a day, others half a day with the same usage).
I missed having a smaller phone and came away impressed from the keynote, mainly with 3d touch and improved camera. Ordered a gold 6s 64gb and going to try to keep this one for at least a year
. I also wasn't impressed with any androids at the moment. I liked the oneplus 2 but no NFC and good luck getting one.

I`m switching from LG G2 to iPhone 6S 64GB Gold. That's some reasons, if I had all day - all day I will say about how bad is android and phones that I have used
LMBO!!!!!!!
I just got my s6 a few weeks ago bummed about not knowing about the note 5.but I am bored to tears of ios. it has been so close the same for so many years I just needed a change I was tried some of the apple bugs like the keyboard one that one is a year to get fixed. things I found is phone call quality is far better then it ever has been and speaker phone works great. all the buggy problems I have had with various bluetooth headsets have pretty much gone now. overall the phone is really fast a few items laggy but easy to deal with. the iphone can get laggy too. some apps better some not the games don't look as good though I have been reading and not play as much. the screen is killer too. location reminders are not as good because the geofence is way too small. and for sending pics and videos imessage is better. but typing is so much better and word predict is far better and my typing errors are much less.
I'm using a Note 3, been using Android since the EVO 4G, and used Palm phones before that (anyone remember those?). Despite owning an iPad since the release day of the original iPad, I had never considered iPhone before the iPhone 6 Plus because I am addicted to large screens! I like Android, and would have bought Samsung Android phones indefinitely, except that in trying to copy the iPhone, Samsung did away with the features that I liked about their phones! So I might as well get the broader selection of apps, and interoperability with my iPad. Have a 128 gig 6S Plus on order for store pickup the 25th (I want the Apple upgrade plan). I will miss real widgets, though.
I was an Android user for years since the original note. I tried iPhone's here and there but they were always too small so I always went back. When the 6 plus came out I used that for a year and it was good but compared to the note line I honestly got bored with it and switched back when the note 5 was released and couldn't be happier.
IPhone is a very good phone just on the boring side and I know you can jailbreak it but in my experience with it once you jailbreak and start adding animations and stuff the lack of ram really comes into light. Animations get copy and things don't run as smooth. People say Android doesn't run as smooth but look at all the things you can do at once, the note is a multitasking beast! The iPhone is designed to literally do 1 thing at once and that's it! How do you think they get it to run so well with it's tiny amount of resources?
I've really never had any lag issues on any of my notes. I mean it might not run EXACTLY as smooth as the iPhone but it's really not that far behind and with everything the note is capable of like multi window and all that I'd take it any day and now that it's got the premium build quality to me it's a no brainer..

Had a bunch of iphones and usually switched to android to get a bigger screen with better resolution. Dumped my Iphone 6 to get a Nexus 6 and absolutely loved it. Pure android, great screen and battery. Then I saw the promos for the Iphone 6S Plus and ordered one and sold the Nexus. I am still not sure how it happened. I think I was hypnotized through my MacBook. Bastards.
