With the new version of iOS released and enough time has passed for people to give it a true assessment, the questions is this, Do I get the new iPhone or do i go to Android?
This is a simple questions that has does not have a simple answer, in fact this answer involves more than a simple "yes" or "no", it involves breaking out of what is comfortable and going into a new direction. In todays society our phones are more than a communication devices, it shows a lot about who you are and reflects your personality. When Apple was on top of the world, they were ahead, unique and innovative; these are the traits that we wanted to be associated with and that why, in my opinion, everyone wanted and owned an iPhone.
However that was yesterday and this is today, your contract is up for renewal and you ask your self a simple question "iPhone or Android?" this is a massive debate and there is no lear winner because everyone uses the phone different. So this simply isn't a math problem, this is more an philisophical question, "do you want more?" If the answer is no, then there really isn't a debate and this is the end of the article. But if the answer is yes.... Well then let go ahead and open Pandoras Box!
First Step: Come to the realization that everything doesn't have to match and be uniform. Go from a Monopoly (All Apple Devices) to "what have you done for me lately?" Understand the the majority of the applications and how you use the phone is available through the Play Store as well as the app store.
Second Step: Be the Smart Consumer! With a lot of the phones available for selection, everyone is a little different and one size doesn't necessary fit all. With the rise in popularity with Android, this is more of a question of how comfortable you are with the size and features now that one company doesn't control your device. If you want size - Galaxy Note, if you want an all-around good phone - Galaxy S4, if you want to be on the cutting edge and be different - Moto X, if you are price conscious and want the big screen - LG Optimus, if you want nice and cheap - Galaxy S3. All of these phones run Android OS but have different features to make them unique and fit you.
Third Step: Do not treat your Android like an iPhone! The reason you are even considering a switch and you are reading this is the fact that you want more, you want a customizable phone and you want something different. As log as you go into this with an open mind and you use an Android to be an Android and not an iPhone with a bigger screen, you will unlock a lot more. If you use it like an iPhone, then i recommend the Galaxy s4.
Being a smart consumer i feel is better for the economy, with Android having more activations than Apple in the recent quarter tells me that if Apple wants it share of the US Market back, then it has to push it self and be more innovative than what is right now. America loves cheesy romance movies like the Notebook and whatnot, we want to stay with the company we started with but just like in Hollywood and life, once you let someone in the middle it is hard getting them back!!!!! Well Apple.. it looks like you have your work cut out for you and you have a couple years to make us reconsider! Thanks for reading!
