I moved from Android to iPhone in 2012, and I haven’t looked
back. My old Android phone was prone to crashing; battery life
was poor; the system would grow increasingly slow until I restarted
it. Overall, I was not enjoying the Android experience. The phone’s
dependability became a problem, and it grew very frustrating to
use.
The iPhone took all those reliability issues away. Yes, it’s
expensive. But it works as promised. Battery life is good, though it
could always be better. It takes great photos. It has a great App
Store. Software updates are fast. Even Apple Maps works quite
well, and I’ve used it successfully for directions a few times now,
although it still needs more data in order to match the richness of
Google’s Maps app. After almost a year of use I have found the
iPhone to be reliable and consistent.
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase, and I would recommend this
phone ( or its 5S and 5C replacements) to others.
