Every new release of the iPhone has Apple fanbois singing and dancing.
Yawn.
I will probably make this switch in a month.
Main driver: video talk with Apple owning family members. Other drivers: battery life, camera, larger screen size in the 6 Plus.

Apparently, it is the Android fanbois who are singing and dancing and switching...

Being an IT person, I prefer Android, because you can more easily ‘hack’ it, and get ‘under the hood’.
Apple is totally locked down, and you can’t do much with it that they don’t want you to. I don’t like that, though we have many Apple devices in our home. They just bore me.
Of course, I’m probably among 5% of users, if that. lol
Apple is a company conceived and born in the USA that showcases American ingenuity. Two guys tinkering with computers, 40 years later, results in a company valued at over $650 BILLION dollars. Arguably the most successful company on the planet.
Yet, some petty souls still aren’t impressed. Apple has revolutionized the PC industry, the mobile phone industry, and the music industry. They’ve created whole new markets (i.e. tablets). Their level of execution is second to none. I applaud their accomplishments.
Oh, and by the way, I don’t own an iPhone.
Agreed. I am new to Android, but I know long-time Andriod users always like to jab at iPhone users when they brag about the "new" features... Ya Android had that 2 years ago... or (brag, brag brag about the new iPhone) andriod user says, "so what you're saying is you got an Android.."
My phone (an iPhone 4s) is just that: a phone. I’m a “big iron” guy and prefer the soft hum of the Noctua fans in my gaming rig or the rhythmic cycles of the fans in my Cisco switches to the boring 4” screen on my phone.
I don’t understand the “mobile” movement.

We only started using Apple products when my wife picked an iPhone out of the current offerings several years ago. It worked so well and became such an indispensable tool that we all have a couple of Apple devices now. They just work and the quality control is superb. Side by side the apps I required worked on Apple products and many failed on the Galaxy. I have the gs5 and iPhone right now. iPhone wins.
I am a converted skeptic.
Good decision. The iOS family of products (iPhone, iPad, iPod) is great and it has great infrastructure to back up the hardware. Glad to hear you’re joining the rest of your family members!
Yeah, it’s quite AMAZINGLY what Apple has done and how they have REVOLUTIONIZED several different industries. It’s quite amazing, and of course ... Steve Jobs was the driving force.
Congratulations! Welcome to the Apple corner.
iPhone owners should be singing and dancing. Apple has brought the iPhone quite a way from the first model in 2007. Today’s model is like a Ferrari, compared to a Model T back then. That’s worth singing and dancing about! Just imagine what the next few years are going to bring!
The big difference is on an Apple, it works....
You’re quite right!
