Why Your Next iPhone Won't Be Ceramic

yep.. i can't overstate how annoying the change is in iOS 10 from swipe to unlock to pressing the home button. I understand they are desperate to introduce "widget" type interface, but that's only because the normal iOS experience is just mindless grids of app icons... ugh. I have to support iOS at work, but use Android personally. Once you go Android, you don't go back.

Been to Android and have developed on Android professionally. Android is widely known as a much more frustrating platform to develop with. I'm always open to change, but I couldn't leave Android fast enough.

I've been a user of Android since Eclair. It wasn't good the. So I went back to iOS. I have many friends who are android only or iOS only. I prefer to use whatever is best at the time.

I'm currently typing this from a 6S+. I was looking forward to the Pixel but I'm not impressed. So I'll see what happens after the Pixel.

I really wanted the Note 7 but you know the story...

i'm speaking in contemporary times of course, the current versions of android including the previous couple of major versions, have greatly surpassed iOS in terms of flexibility in usability.

I use Android and hate every moment of it.

I also hate iPhones. I used to use one for work because I wanted to try it out. I switched to the Nexus 6p this year. I still keep the iPhone around, though, just to remind me why I hate iOS so much.

I'm not a fan of either. I've considerably more experience with Android.

My point is that familiarity need not breed love.
