Hi all
I've been on Android for the last few years, having never owned an iphone.
One of the 'reasons' often touted by iphone users for Android users not having an iphone was "not being able to afford one" - that's just 'tosh' as I'm sure most of you will agree.
It's always been about personal prefs for me. I'm on almost 50K p.a so that sort of shoots down that theory (in my case at least)
My reasons were 'freedom of choice'.
With the very +'ve reviews that the 6 is getting, I'm wondering and weighing up the options of whether or not to make the jump, and to find out if the positives of the OS, outweigh the negatives (or not)!
Believe it or not, my #1 'like' of my existing Nexus 5 is the capability for wireless charging...it's soooo handy: whenever I get in the house, I just lie it on the small, cheap (£10) charging pads around our house - rather than the work-surface - 99% of handsets are just sitting in pockets or lying on desks etc (when not in use) waiting for a call or text, this is why my phone is never running low on power. I did consider the S5 but even this top-of-the-range handset doesn't have it 'built-in' ( a thin credit-card-like card fits on top of the battery underneath the removable back!)
My other gripe is having to do almost EVERYTHING thru iTunes. I've heard about jail-breaking to get around this (but doesn't that invalidate the warranty on my £600+ device??)
Another major for me is; if I've got a picture(s) or album(s) on my computer, I can just open my File Browser, go to My LAN> My Computer... to find the required item, then Copy+Paste to my phone. I do this a LOT!!
Is there an alternative way of doing this on IOS without having to find and plugging in a cable?
If there is, I might be a new convert!!
Regards
