Oh yeah, we\u2019re going there.<\/p>\n
A couple of years ago, iOS was the obvious choice. It offered a better experience, had better apps and the iPhone had much better features.<\/p>\n
But recently, Android has caught up. In fact, Apple was even accused of copying Android\u2019s best features in their recent iOS 8 announcement (not by us, mind).<\/p>\n
It\u2019s alright to admit it, iPhone users: you\u2019re curious. You want to know what Android\u2019s about, but you don\u2019t want to tell anyone. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together this little guide.<\/p>\n
And, if you do decide to make the switch, you can sell your iPhone<\/a> to us too \u201d\u201c we promise we won\u2019t tell any of your Apple fanatic mates!<\/p>\n Bigger screens<\/b><\/p>\n Admit it: every time you see someone watching a hilarious YouTube clip on their Galaxy S4 or HTC One, you get a bit jealous. You might even briefly think \u201cI\u2019m going to sell my iPhone and buy one of those\u201d\u009d, although you quickly pinch yourself and go home to repent your sins in front of your Steve Jobs shrine.<\/p>\n But the bigger screens offered by Android devices are a major bonus in this video-centric age. They make everything looks better \u201d\u201c even that slightly dodgy pic someone took of you on the work\u2019s night out.<\/p>\n More choice<\/b><\/p>\n There\u2019s only one question iOS users planning to upgrade have to ask themselves: Should I sell my iPhone 4 and get a 5?<\/p>\n Boooooring. Switching to Android opens up a world of beautiful smartphone choices. You could use a Galaxy one year and switch to an HTC the next, and all you\u2019d have to do is redownload your apps, music and pictures. The smartphone world is your oyster.<\/p>\n Customisation<\/b><\/p>\n The customisation options for an iPhone are more or less limited to buying a pretty case from that bloke who sells iPhone 3 accessories at the market.<\/p>\n Alright, so it\u2019s not quite that bad. But it certainly feels like it compared to the customisation options available on Android. You can customise almost everything, allowing you to create a phone experience tailored to you.<\/p>\n Storage space<\/b><\/p>\n You can\u2019t put an SD card in an iPhone; you can in a Samsung Galaxy.<\/p>\n Although, admittedly, you can\u2019t put an SD card in a lot of Android devices either…<\/p>\n It\u2019s not all doom and gloom for Apple though. Here are a few reasons not to sell your iPhone…<\/p>\n Not as many good apps<\/b><\/p>\n iOS\u2019 earlier dominance means that it still gets the best apps first. Plus, a lot of apps are designed for iOS specifically and later converted to Android, so you get a better experience on the iPhone.<\/p>\n The native apps aren\u2019t as good<\/b><\/p>\n Although Google are working on it, the native apps that come with most Android phone can\u2019t compete with Apple\u2019s. It\u2019s not just the quality of the apps \u201d\u201c Google have done a pretty good job on that \u201d\u201c but the way they work with the phone.<\/p>\n On iOS, apps like Messages and iCloud feel connected, creating one simple experience. On Android, it all feels a bit disjointed.<\/p>\n Android is hit and miss because of different overlays<\/b><\/p>\n Android\u2019s greatest feature is also its worst. Some of the custom Android systems created by phone manufacturers are terrible, and lack the cohesion of iOS. Samsung\u2019s is alright for the most part, but on the whole, Android operating systems can be really hit and miss.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not iOS<\/b><\/p>\n Apple is the master of great user experiences, and it really shows with iOS. It\u2019s so easy to use, yet it offers enough options to keep experienced smartphone users happy too. Anyone can pick up an iPhone and find a use for its features, and that\u2019s the beauty of iOS \u201d\u201c it\u2019s built around the user.<\/p>\n So, are you planning to sell your iPhone after reading this post?
