I've always had Android phones but this past year my two kids got iPhones and the messaging and FaceTime made me feel left out so I paid off my Samsung 6 edge plus and got this with 128 gb. Wow! Ive always been hard on the battery, I have to use good messaging for work and I'm out of the office a lot so I'm on the phone a lot for other reasons too. I didn't even charge the phone last night and it's still at fifty percent! That never happened with any of my other phones, even at the beginning. Anyway, it seems like for the way I use phones the way Apple deals with the battery is perfect. It's also wicked fast and I got a software update without having to wait. Anyway, I'm a convert.
