iOS 9 problems = considering Android?

[I7guy]

Because Huawei also makes a lot of its phones at Foxconn.

That's would be industrial espionage to share secrets. Just because Foxconn makes both phones, except for Alumimum, sand, sapphire, plastic and glass they use the smame exact materials or are the materials built to exact specifications of the designers?

Dont see what difference it makes.The Nexus 6P is hell of a looker even in the design department.This "Designed in China" product manages to still look better than many products of Motorola,HTC etc.Apple's phone in reality is just a Foxconn product

reality check: nope. iPhone is AN APPLE product, manufactured by Foxconn under Apple contract.

I'm curious, where does that "They are the reason people switched to iOS device in droves." and "Stutter is actually a major reason why many switched to iPhone in the first place." come from?

From their imagination, I guess...

Having tried out a S6 Edge once,its far from bloatware.Its one damn good smartphone rivalling the iPhone.
Yeah animations do play a big part in the overall experience on iOS.On Android the animations are very quick and precise and dont get in the way.iOS has a long and emphasized animation and in this case any stutter severely detracts from the experience.Just look at the way folders open on both OS.On Android its a quick and precise table animation and you cant even notice any lag.On iOS 4 out of 10 times I can easily notice a frame skip or two in the zoom in animation

Galaxy S6 is just another pathetic Samsung's product. Good on tech specs but awful to use. It's a "good" combination of hardware and software: Samsung really know how to design a bad product....
I said I wouldn't buy an Huawei smartphone, but I stand corrected: I would but a Huawei over any Samsung phone.

My point was Chinese designers are in no way inferior to American designers which is where the blind hate for Huawei comes from.The iPhone is made by Foxconn which is what matters because both Huawei and Apple are using the same expertise and materials for making their products

Chinese designers no way inferior to american ??? Lol, in which parallel dimension ?
Because China is famous for their "design" ..... copied from western countries.

Let's face it guys, the average Joe with money to spend will buy an iPhone because it is a status symbol. Even the poor Joe will stretch his dollar to show some level of success by buying an iPhone. You just need to open your eyes when you are in the real world to notice it. I see more iPhones everyday than any others. When I owned the S6, I only came across 2 people that had one. Every dog and its uncle owns an iPhone these days!

It's the as high school students and university student buying a MB or MBP to use MS Office. Purely a status symbol!

What does this topic have to do with your view of an iPhone being a status symbol?

Seems like you try to get into the heads of the consumer and determine why they bought an iPhone.

I think one of the points that Elisha is trying to make is that given a choice, most consumers would pick an iPhone over the equivalent Android device. But there is something to be said for that pesky price premium that iPhones go for. It's not very often that you can get the current iPhone for $.99 whereas deals for the Androids are dime a dozen. Does that make an iPhone a status symbol? Yes but more importantly it points to the fact that most prefer iPhones.

Android has so many security holes and when they are found you may or may not get a patch cause those are locked up with the device maker then the carrier. The whole model is just one giant slog of sadness. I am aware there are good android phones but those are not the ones that get tossed out for .99 from Verizon

i would probably be in the "poor Joe" category and i've never bought a phone as a status symbol. that seems a little silly, in my opinion. i just love my iPhones. they do everything i need them to do and more. so, yeah, i think your theory is pretty off. but, again, that's just my opinion.

Don't be ridiculous. Anyone can buy an iPhone on contract. WTF is it with status and symbols. Get of your high horse, stop smoking and get real.

The general quality level will be the same.Its the same guys making the product

reality check: nope. iPhone is AN APPLE product, manufactured by Foxconn under Apple contract.

And the phone you actually handle is made by Foxconn which is what matters.Who cares if it's an American,European or Chinese who designed the phone.I look at each neutrally as each one is capable of their own unique design

Chinese designers no way inferior to american ??? Lol, in which parallel dimension ?

Many Huawei phones manage to look better than Motorola which used to be an American company.This copying accusation is BS.Everyone knows Apple ripped off the HTC One M8 design for the iPhone 6 and HTC is a Taiwanese company

LOL, really? I want that pharmacy subscription too.

You have a very big problem understanding the difference between MANUFACTURING and DESIGNING/DEVELOPING.

Again, you can't understand what is the difference between manufacturing and designing .....

Lol, only a real Apple hater could define the iPhone 6 as a rip off of the HTC One M8 design .... lol
And an HTC executive.

they are so similar .... lol

I would say they are identical.
They are both made of aluminium and , surprise surprise, they are both ...... smartphones !
Do you want to see a copy ?

And guess who's copying who ?

 

[John Mcgregor]

Actually no it's not. Foxconn will manufacture device according to your specifications and materials. Apple has very strict guidelines for everything such as margins for component dimensions, seams between components and so on. Others usually have lower standarts for that because it costs money and since their devices already cost less it eats into their bottom line.

And you keep ignoring that WHO designs the product only matters to someone who is biased in favour of a company.To an unbiased shopper he will always buy the one which offers best performance and quality for the price and the Huawei Nexus matches the build quality of the iPhone and is arguably just as good in design

The One A9 is a desperate attempt by HYC to stay afloat which is why they blatantly copied the iPhone.Its not the same company who used to make great design .The iPhone 6 copied the plastic antennas and the rounded design of the M7/M8 originally

That's not proof, that's conjecture.

So basically any chinese copycat is good as Armani ....
Huawei Nexus doesn't match anything: it still is a Huawei phone.
The iPhone 6 copied "plastic antennas" ? reality check: antennas strips on an aluminium backplate where on the iPhone 5 well before the HTC One M8. Rounded design ? The HTC One backplate is ROUNDED while the iPhone 6 is FLAT. Could you understand the difference ?

There is no such thing as an unbiased shopper look at cars to prove how biased shoppers are. Really such nonsense. If there were brands like Lexus, Mercedes wouldn't exist because a civic gets the exact job done at a fraction of the cost to an unbiased shopper.

People are entitled to their shopping preferences, carrier preferences and phone manufacturer preferences for whatever their reasons are even if it "status"; whatever that is.

Edit: to close the loop on this line of thinking about status, status is perceived; what is a status symbol to you may not be for me.

 

[CoolKid26]

The Nexus 6P in its current state runs circles around the iPhone 6 I have on iOS 9.60 FPS animations and not a hint of stutter on it.I may switch to it or the Galaxy S7 unless Apple fixes my performance issues.Android is smoother than iOS 9 in its current iteration

Advice from a former android user: I think you may find yourself having the same problems after a year of owning those devices. I would take a bit of stutter over apps randomly crashing and other problems any day.

 

[BeeGood]

I won't say "never" to another phone/platform, but I am very happy with the 6s+ on 9.2. So far, it's the best experience I've had on an iPhone (I've had them all except for the 5 and 5c).

I just can't see myself on android anytime soon. I was tempted by android in 2013/2014 and tried the Galaxy S4, LG G3 and Nexus 5. Great phones, but I always went back to my iPhone, and the reasons for going back still remain.

So I voted "iOS 9.2 rocks". It's the most stable version of iOS 9 on the best iPhone I've ever had.

 

[bbrks]

Another senseless thread, but like always, very funny......let me grab peanuts and double on the rocks ......continue please

 

[Michael Goff]

Hey guys I can see a lot of people on this forum complaining about iOS 9.x is lag, sluggishness battery etc. Are you considering android? The nexus 6p is winning phone of the year etc. It's making me jealous!

People usually don't go to a forum to say how good their experience is.

That being said, I consider every piece of technology running everything from iOS to Ubuntu Touch to Windows Mobile. So far, iOS is providing me the best experience. If that changes, so will what I use.

 

[KiXeR]

Stop smoking bad w**d it´s bad for your brain mate.

Android will always have more lag and stutter than iOS imo

 

[Michael Goff]

Let's be honest with ourselves. Lag isn't the problem with the S6, an example of a modern Android smartphone.

 

[KAB2010]

I doubt that the 6s is much faster than the S6. I own one as well and it is a blazing fast phone. Still the fastest Android phone available until the new chipsets come out. Battery life is decent but could be better. My wife gets about 4 to 4.5 hours of SoT every day and when she plugs in at night she has about 15% left.

Speed wise, the S6 runs circles around my iPhone 6. This is partly due to the S6 using the full potential of our wifi speeds which is about 3 times more Mbps than the iPhone 6 will do for whatever reason. Amazing wifi chip in the Sammy. Also got about 4 hours SoT with the S6. Bump it up to 5-6 and I would've been a perfectly happy camper.

 

[kapp2]

Android is more smooth running and fast right now, But i still prefer iOS
