Which iPhone did you get that you find it “clunky”? I used to see people with the large screened Samsung’s when they first came out and thought those were big enough to be described as “clunky”.

I was a devoted Blackberry user for years until they couldn’t seem to keep up with the latest developments. Then, due to family members having them, I went to the iPhone. It really sucked because I had one of the first models of the iPhone 5 which came with a defective battery. Problems ensued when I wanted to just have the dang battery changed, but they wouldn’t do it without me paying to have my screen replaced too. So, just a month ago I had a very difficult time deciding if I wanted to switch to the latest Samsung or go with the iPhone 6. I have zero experience using any of the android type operating systems and couldn’t find the information I wanted to see why it was allegedly so much better. So I went with the iPhone 6. Almost went with the 6 plus, just for the larger screen since I do ALL/EVERYTHING on my hand held device, but the screen was just a bit too large for my liking. Now I’m not so sure I made the right decision since the device ‘freezes’ up for a few seconds at a time every now and again, and I think it would be great to have the option to run a different operating system should I choose to do so, but as far as I know, such cannot yet be done on an Apple product.

IPhone 5. And by clunky, I don’t mean physically. The Galaxy is clearly not as ergonomic for one handed texting, etc because it is so big. I accept the trade off so I get a bigger screen.
I meant the software itself. It never does what I want as intuitively and easily as my android.

And I’ve had it a year. So its beyond the “get used to it phase”.

You have something wrong still. There should be no stuttering of freezes on an iPhone. They are known for their smooth operation. Check for a running app in the background that may be taking over the system. Even that should not happen. Are you anywhere near an Apple Store? If you are, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and have it checked.
