“Almost 4 Million Android Phone Users
Are Switching To iPhones Next Year!”
Not in the article.
As an IPhone user for many years, I tried the switch to an Android device a couple of years ago - a very nice Samsung.
Two days was enough, and went back to Apple.
After using both I still prefer my iPhone. The Galaxy has some odd quirks, outside of the one related to my job app (which sucks). It doesn't like being in airplanes, and requires a restart most of the time it goes to altitude. I also have to restart it a couple times a week when it stops receiving data. The fingerprint swipe is a multiple try operation.
The Galaxy does have a really nice camera, and I do like the ability to move files like a computer. I run one app that has a lot of settings, and it is interesting to see how open the Android architecture can be.
The iPhone just works. More reliable, and usually an easier interface.
We switched from Android to iPhone this year. We use t-Mobile. I tried a low end android and was disappointed with the phone call quality. Most reviewers ignore the audio quality of the phone and like to talk about apps!
It seemed that we would have to go to a higher cost phone in order to get suitable phone service with Android. So when my wife’s phone died, I noticed that Yugster was selling refurbished iPhones at a price lower than I would have spent on new Androids. I bought a pair so that we would have similar user interfaces.
We are happy with iPhone. It does what we need and has a friendly user interface. The Android could be daunting for my non-technical wife if she wandered out into the “weeds”.
As an added bonus, the iPhones supported wifi calling. Our cabin has wifi, but no cell service. Now, both our phones are still usable when we are out in the boonies.
I am disappointed with the iPhone podcast player. It plays my stuff in the wrong order and doesn’t give me enough options for managing content. It might do what I need, but unlike other Apple products, it is a fight.
Any android user that switches to Apple will first say where are all the features I used to have, then why are the screen colors so dull. Finally they will ask why did I pay so much more money for this phone.
I’m a Tracfone user, currently on an Android. I’d like to get to a better camera. The iPhone cameras look awesome! Is there an equivalent camera using Android, or should I switch to an iPhone? I want to stay on a pay as you go program such as Tracfone. My phone and text per month is in the single digits.
My wife just had to replace her Note 4 and I suggested she switch to an iPhone 6s Plus - she didn't like it at first but has warmed up to it and now thinks it is better for her - a non-technical person.
A SINGLE company commands nearly 44% of the entire cellphone market. Incredible.
Makes sense since corporations are starting to standardize on iphones, now lets see if they will switch their own phone
As long as Cook keeps the privacy needs of his customers as a priorty, I'm ok with whatever non-Jobs mistakes his company makes in design.
My son was an Iphone user since Iphone4.
He just switched to the Galaxy Note7 and he likes it a lot.
He was going to give his Iphone6 to his mom, but its got the “Touch Disease” which Apple says you have to buy a new phone to fix.
So He’s going to have to mail it off to be fixed before mom gets it.

Apple's mobile devices, which accounted for more than 70 percent of the company's 2015 revenue, has consistently stayed on top of other brands in terms of reliability. This is supported by a collection of well-documented annual studies in which Apple consistently held on to the top spot in the reliability metric — until now, that is.
A recent study by the Blancco Technology Group titled "State of Mobile Device Performance and Health" for Q2 2016 reveals that iOS devices are almost twice as likely to fail when compared with competing brands that run on Android.
iOS devices charted a 58 percent failure rate, which more than doubles the 25 percent they had for Q1 2016. Android devices, on the other hand, managed 35 percent, which is an improvement from its 44 percent back in the first quarter of the current year.
"Plagued by crashing apps, Wi-Fi connectivity and other performance issues, the iOS failure rate more than doubled to 58 percent quarter-over-quarter," says Blancco after noting that iOS lost the smartphone performance battle to Android.
I have been using a Windows Phone for Years.
Before that, Android.
The next Phone is an iPhone.
Why does Computerworld feel the need to lead with such a deceptive title, when the real news in the article is the moves FROM Android TO the iPhone???
