[teknikal90]

finally. 10 years on and a discussion about android vs. iphone can stay civilised and doesn't have to get nasty

Taken photos of the cat in lowish light and the iphone coped well.

Keep up the good work! There is a gaping void in the Internet where cat pictures should be...

MIUI gives me the best of both worlds.

2014 - MIUI 5, 4.4.2 (KitKat)
2015 - MIUI 6, 4.4.4 (KitKat)
2016 - MIUI 7, 6.0.1 (Marshmallow)

MIUI 7 is much more stable and smooth now. Mi 3 which is really a late-2013 flagship but feels like I am owning a souped iPhone 6 (2014) with its theme app. An iPhone 6 only has 750p and 1gb RAM. Only thing terrible about it is no micro-sd slot and battery degraded to about 5-6h SOT.

I need my file manager, Bluetooth data transfer, universal micro-usb standard, torrent apps, and so on and so on. I hate iTunes media management dependency. Android rocks if you know what you are doing because Samsung doesn't represent all of Android users.

All my phones are customized in a different way where I memorized each pattern to get to apps easily. Unique and different. I also value UNIQUENESS. I hate having a phone that everyone and their grandma owns.

For me, i use what works best. I don't care how many people have the same phone as me. I just don't want to use a phone where everybody uses the same operating system.

For the life of me I don't understand why people buy iPhones, then torture themselves with iTunes like its 2012. It's so unnecessary.

I don't torture myself with iTunes: I use it regularly without issue. What is torturous about it?

I'm happy it works for you. In my opinion, when I compare it to using iCloud or third party content apps, using iTunes is an incredibly inefficient way to manage content on my iPhone. I'd elaborate, but I'm not sure what the point would be since, as you said, you use it with no problems.

I'm sure it's a consequence of everyone using these tools a bit differently. The way I use/manage my media will be different than the way you do. What I do may not work for you, what you do may not work for me, and so our perspectives on how effective a tool is will necessarily be different.

I think, in the end, if someone truly felt tortured by what they were using, they'd find an alternative.

My fiancee can use itunes ok.

When it comes to tech, well two short planks come to mind lol.

She never used itunes until 2 weeks ago and has grasped it quite well.

I use itunes as my media is local and not in cloud/etc.
Can get by ok, just need find an alternative for photo management and I be set.

I have found my iphone 6s plus will got 1.5 to 2 days on a charge.

S7 edge will got little over 1 day.

The 12 core GFX and hi res screen just knocks it out the battery!

for me the iphone plus screen is good enough and if it makes battery last longer then more important to me anyway than that super duper hires screen.

Still have a samsung tab s 8.4 and will not replace with ipad.
This is the only android device I use now.

rest is OSX or IOS.

One annoying thing on iphone is the inability to delete photos or videos which have been put on via itunes.

This I think is due to no file manager on ios unlike android.

Still loving my iphone 6s plus.
Samsung S7 still home in its box

First impressions don't really mean anything once your honeymoon phase is over with it. Fast and smooth now until Apple keeps forcing you to update.

You might starting missing...

- Back button
- Micro-sd slot
- File manager
- Sideload apps
- Delete, adding, moving files
- Multiple video codec support
- Custom launchers
- App drawer
- Ability to hide apps
- Gesture shortcuts

S7 edge is also known to have longer battery life.
