After 18days With The Iphone X And Iphone 7 I Switched Back To My Android. Fact# by Nobody: 1:46pm On Jun 16, 2018
I've been an android fan for the past 8 years. I've hated iphone for no good reason. I've never used it, perhaps that was why I was so acting up.But how can I hate a phone without ever using it. It sounds weird. So then I decided this year to get my self an iPhone. I got an iPhone 7 to be exact. Reason for this is because its my first iPhone. And it had everything I wanted including water resistant. After some few days. My friend brought his iPhone x for me to sell. So I switched immediately to the iPhone X. And now Ive used this phone for good 18days, And I hated it. Right now I want to sell the iPhone 7.its a 128gb model. Please hilla me if interested.

Now the things I hated in iphone that made me go back to my android where

1:Notifications : they were so bad on iPhone. When you get a message from same person on WhatsApp, it will create multiple notifications of same contact. Making you have almost a thousand notifications from a single person.

2:Notification led: Mehn this pissed me off so bad. No notification led? Like I have to always press my phone to know when I have notification. Imaging in when I'm washing. With my wet hands. On and android you can have custom led lights, green for calls, blue for whatsapp, yellow for snapchat. Etc. Damn

3:App size are twice the size: Omg. I wanted to download Facebook only to see 325mb for just one app. In this country where data is expensive as Bleep. Almost every social media app ranges from 100mb up. Really!! Apple is this all you can do?

4:Third party apps down work so well: So I had SwiftKey board. On my samsung.so I decided since I'm switching to iPhone. I can as well download this app. Which I did. Over 100mb. After I installed. I got my account synced. But it only changed the theme and that was it. I count add number row. Etc. The most annoying part here, is that it also goes off from the keyboard on its own. Like if you want to type in password, it switches back to apple keyboard which I don't like.

5:Very slow chrage: Mehn takes ages to charge

6:Cant find a contact direct from dial pad: wtf apple?? This is 2018. I have to go all the way to contacts and scroll all the way down to find the contact. and it doesn't dial immediately. You have to click on the contact again before you see the dial button wtf mehn

7:Too hard to operate: no quick options. You can't hold down WiFi to go to WiFi setting. Or Bluetooth etc. You have to manually go to settings and select wifi.wtf??

8:Camera has no pro.. Mode option. Just basic. :The camera does not have anything again. Just click and shoot. Nawaoo

9:Not so many apps:Okay I have used an iPhone now, and I can comfortably say there are no much apps compared to my android oh yes. You doubt me? Let's try
Search for
Facebook lite
Messenger lite
YouTube go
Etc

10:File sharing doesn't work so good. Even iPhone to iphone: this one pissed me off. I sent a song through my phone with xender. Only to find out I cant play the song from music app. I have to go back to xender before I can actually play any song. So I asked. What's the need of have files in the app drawer?

11:Poor and bad network options: This is the worst. Imagine when you're in a hurry to google out something. Only to unlock your phone and ban. U see '' Edge'' or sometimes I get' 'gprs' ' that's on an iPhone x. Even if you select 3g only. U will still get 2g if the network is poor. This was the one that made me give up. On a 380k phone you don't give me option to force 3g.are you mad!! How can I select 3g and u bring back 2g for me.


If you're a core android. I will never advice you to use iPhone. You will miss so many things. You even loose your freedom. Unless you're ready to loose it then you can choose. Thanks

Modified ¤ I failed to add that their so called face scanner is not even good at all. Sometimes I will keep my face for ages without unlocking. If I wear glasses it fails to unlock. If I have a cap on it fails to unlock. If I have both, it's even the worst. Sometimes at night it's more harder. Though the screen lights up but sometime it won't unlock. And if I am lying down. It will never unlock. Unless I raise my head up.

Modified ; buy this phone is you have plans to jailbreak it.

Android all the way iPhone is not for people around hear. IPhone want security, they manage everything from hardware, software, store and data so that makes you kinda locked up. If you want freedom, customizations, user friendliness go for Android. I use iPhone and I realized iPhone is for dummies not for tech lovers.

Nice point. I forced myself to use an iPhone but I ended up switching back to an android device (samsung) after 4weeks.

iPhone is nice but if you want unlimited freedom, pls don't buy it even though if it is iPhone X

The notifications is annoying and there is no notifications LED. The sizes of apps is ridiculous. It is quite large but if you can afford to download them iPhone download very fast. The network is very fast on iPhone ( I have use mtn/airtel and glo) the network is even faster when you are in Ghana.

iPhone consumes data which is really bad. You can only send notes, files and pictures to iPhone users through airdrop( they have to be close by) You can’t share music at all. Even to download music na work . If you can get your hands on tubidy app you are good to go. It is actually very easy to operate for me o. It charges super fast. Op there are lots of apps on iPhone actually.

There is shortcut to switch on your Bluetooth, WiFi and hotspot but if you want to change the settings the process is long.

I never said there are no apps or even many apps. There are. But actually. Android has more. 10times more. 20times more. Actually 100times more. What iPhone has. For example. The basic apps I needed to switch to iPhone where.
Facebook messenger
Facebook lite not the full version. I don't need that.
YouTube go to easily download video
Total commander. Can't be found
Titanium Backup canr be found
Lucky patcher can't be found
Gmail doesn't work so well
YouTube doesn't work so well. It lags if you minimize a video from the app. A second or 2 seconds lag.
Etc if I keep naming the apps I never had.
At the end I only had messenger
Whatsapp
And snapchat
Others for where.

Use what suits you.
You're the kind who loves tweaking, saw your posts on S5 running 8.1, gcam and all that stuff.
Now you tried iOS with so much restrictions what do you think you will like there.

Hahahahaha, no be lie. You got me with that app size thing, it's very annoying. Sumthn that will be like 48mb on android will be like 105mb on IOS. Yes, swift key is also a nightmare on IOS and the IOS keyboard is crap, to my own standards.

Only two kinda people believe iPhones are better;
1. Those that haven't used a flagship model of top android brand (Samsung, HTC, Sony, even the new BB androids)
2. Those that just wanna be seen carrying an iPhone just because of the hype and market value. And most of these peeps don't do anything else besides chatting and social media.

Your observations are spot on OP.

However, using an iPhone over Android is a thing of personal preference and taste. Post switching from blackberry many years ago, I have always used an iPhone and don’t regret it. I didn’t even realize some of the things on Android you pointed out until now. Of course I agree the lack of grouped notifications is a total mess.

As to why I continue to use the iPhone, I like the fact that it hardly freezes, battery life isn’t terrible, apps don’t crash as often and the iPhones have very good 2nd hand value compared to Samsung and the likes.

Lolz, and someone told you a flagship android brand freezes?....like one that comes with 3GB ram and above and 1.8ghz octa core snapdragon or xynos, or higher?

Guess I can say you belong to the 1st category I was talking about. You have never experienced the power and versatility of a flagship android device.

Yeah right, no be only video editing. What model did you use?....you cannot do video editing on IPhone 6 or 7, and start comparing the performance with maybe a galaxy S3 of 2012 that you used. They not even of thesame generation. grin cheesy

About the network speed, it depends on d phone ur comparing with dear. You cannot come and be comparing iPhone with a budget Tecno or Infinix. Even the high end versions of those brands still come with less efficient MTK chips. You can Google the phone with the fastest network at d moment. wink

Well coming from someone that owns both the IPhone X , iPhone 7plus and a galaxy S9 plus, I will still choose iOS over android , and this is my reason, the iPhone has this extremely fluid feeling to it , and it very rarely fails on me neither does it disappoint. I can count multiple times my s9plus has failed on me and mainly it doesn’t feel as smooth as iOS for me .. I really can’t say one is better than the other, but I use my IPhone more because of how simple and smooth it is for me, the Android is more of a backup for things like tethering and some hacks which it can do that the iPhone can’t .. if you are mainly used to android , I mean android and not all these Tecno and infinix rolling around, the feature you will miss most is that you can’t set default apps on iPhone with 3rd party apps , yes you can use 3rd party apps and use it as a replacement for an app you wish to replace but you can’t completely replace stock apps with it .. but this isn’t really a problem because iOS apps work so much more and I’ll say apps are more optimized for iOS than Android .. I really don’t care which is better than the other and it just has to do with different individual choices, but I’ll say at the moment iOS seems more refined than the Android Os ..
