Switch to iPhone X rather than Galaxy S9 say Apple: How to make the switch from Galaxy S9 to iPhone

Ive had the i4 i5 and the 6s. Love the ease of use but am sick and tired of the cloud. When i got the 6s the first thing i did was turn it off. Got a few apps took a few pics. Now my phone wont stop with the popups. Cloud usage 4.7 out of 5 used. Apple store signin seem set on auto repeat. More than 20 times a day. Not even getting new apps just constantly wants me to sign in. I have gotten bad apps from apple store. Had the phone less than a week. Got a flashlight app. Yes i had to download the app. I got a popup claiming my NEW phone was 80% infected from watching adult websites. Deleted the flashlight app. Problem was gone. Btw no adult stuff on it. Just bad app. Also hate the whole itunes thing. Used to have an lg many years ago and i could download my whole collection from my comp very easily. Miss the good ol days. When my 6s finally goes i dont think i will go the iphone route again. I just dred having to learn another system.

Hi Liz! I would probably suggest a Samsung Galaxy S7 instead rather than the C9. The Galaxy S7 is a lot better than the iPhone 6. However, the Galaxy S8 is currently out (will be more pricey than the S7), and the Galaxy S9 will be released probably early 2018. If it were me, I would suggest the Samsung S7 over the iPhone 6, or the Samsung S8 over an iPhone 8.

I have used both iphones and Androids. Both have their own advantages and Disadvantages. But in many ways Android rules. I used a Samsung S3 before. I own a iphone SE now and want to switch back to Samsung. Thinking of getting a Samsung S7 Edge. I hope Samsung is going to launch S8 soon. Do you think S8 is a worthy upgrade to S7?

I agree with your points, but I really dont think either one is inherently better than the other. I have personally had both and switched back and forth constantly. I find that android, while the customization options are SOOO much better and widgets are amazing, i find that if you dwell into the settings everything gets very cluttered if you arent a 100% techie and Google tries to shove all of its software down your throat and I end up having to turn of every google now software feature and disable all of the google apps except the play store. I find that apple has the much better app store and its an overall very simple experience. I love the big screen of most android phones and how cheap you can get some big screened phones, but as someone who wants a simple streamlined experience, im going to stick with apple, for now.

Very good article outlining differences between apple and Android. I myself have been a long time iPhone user, but I recently switched to a Samsung s7 and will never go back. The only problem I have with this article is that it says the Samsung s7 has an IR blaster as a feature, which it does not have. Sad because I thought this would be handy if I lose the remote and want to use my TV without tearing through the living room looking for it.

And one big thing about the hardward. This article is like alot of ignorant fanboy android users they think on paper android devices outshine iphones however in real life tests iphones out perform android just take a look at speed tests where users lauch cpu intensive games iphone launches way quicker. Check out also geek bench test scores iphone 7 plus way better scores than your samsung s7 edge and pixel xl phones. So I would just get the facts checked out straight first before you post about hardware. Sure on paper android looks great however REAL LIFE tests they fail.

Actually android is better than iphone because you cannot even access files and android is customizable non like iphone that depends on the ios for me that sucks and you cannot even expand the storage non like android and just to access files on iphone we need a computer non like android we can just access the files directly, we all know that android is cheaper than iphone but you cannot get these futures on an iphone

I love the physical back button on an Android phone as well! That was going to be one of my reasons listed in the blog post, but I decided against it. But, definitely an advantage in my opinion being able to hit a physical back button rather than doing all your navigating through on-screen arrows like on an iPhone.

If you watch youtube videos on waterproof test on the iphone 7 and samsung s7 the iphone lasts longer than 30 minutes and can go deeper than 1 meter while samsung when around 20th minute it dies and plus you state that iphone just had storage backup when ios8 came out if you do your research the icloud backup storage was there since the first iphone. you can also expand your memory on iphone to unlimited if you want. customizing your keyboard was there for a really long time on iphone not just when ios 8 came out

The iPhone X used a glass and stainless-steel form factor and "bezel-less" design, shrinking the bezels while not having a "chin", unlike many Android phones. It was the first iPhone to use an OLED screen. The home button's fingerprint sensor was replaced with a new type of authentication called Face ID, which used sensors to scan the user's face to unlock the device. This face-recognition capability also enabled emojis to be animated following the user's expression (Animoji). With a bezel-less design, iPhone user interaction changed significantly, using gestures to navigate the operating system rather than the home button used in all previous iPhones. At the time of its November 2017 launch, its price tag of US$999 also made it the most expensive iPhone ever, with even higher prices internationally due to additional local sales and import taxes.

Due to its different screen layout, iOS developers are required to update their apps to make full use of the additional screen real estate. Such changes include rounded corners, sensor "notch" at the top of the screen, and an indicator area at the bottom for accessing the home screen. Apple published a "Human Interface Guidelines" document to explain areas of focus, and discouraged developers from attempting to mask or call special attention to any of the new changes. Additionally, text within the app needs to be configured to properly reference Face ID rather than Touch ID where the authentication technology is used on iPhone X.[67] In anticipation of the release of the phone, most major apps were quickly updated to support the new changes brought by iPhone X,[68] though the required changes did cause delayed app updates for some major apps.[69][70][71]

However, despite Apple's promise of increased security of Face ID compared to the Touch ID fingerprint authentication system,[91] there have been multiple media reports indicating otherwise. The Verge noted that courts in the United States have granted different Fifth Amendment rights in the United States Constitution to biometric unlocking systems as opposed to keycodes. Keycodes are considered "testimonial" evidence based on the contents of users' thoughts, whereas fingerprints are considered physical evidence, with some suspects having been ordered to unlock their phones via fingerprint.[92] Many attempts to break through Face ID with sophisticated masks have been attempted, though all have failed.[93] A week after iPhone X was released, Vietnamese security firm Bkav announced in a blog post that it had successfully created a $150 mask that tricked Face ID, though WIRED noted that Bkav's technique was more of a "proof-of-concept" rather than active exploitation risk, with the technique requiring a detailed measurement or digital scan of the iPhone owner's face, putting the real risk of danger only to targets of espionage and world leaders.[94][95]

Additionally, Reuters reported in early November 2017 that Apple would share certain facial data on users with third-party app developers for more precise selfie filters and for fictional game characters to mirror real-world user facial expressions. Although developers are required to seek customer permission, are not allowed to sell the data to others nor create profiles on users nor use the data for advertising, and are limited to a more "rough map" rather than full capabilities, they still get access to over 50 kinds of facial expressions. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for Democracy and Technology raised privacy questions about Apple's enforcement of the privacy restrictions connected to third-party access, with Apple maintaining that its App Store review processes were effective safeguards. The "rough map" of facial data third-parties can access is also not enough to unlock the device, according to Reuters. However, the overall idea of letting developers access sensitive facial information was still not satisfactorily handled, according to Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the ACLU, with Stanley telling Reuters that "the privacy issues around of the use of very sophisticated facial recognition technology for unlocking the phone have been overblown. ... The real privacy issues have to do with the access by third-party developers".[96][97]

I really like the new gestures. It took some getting used to on the iPhone X but after six months, I find it much more seamless to use than a home button. Android users who rely on the current layout might also need to adjust, but it works really well and makes it much quicker to switch apps and move around the phone's user interface.

For Android devices you will have to switch off background app refresh individually on each app rather than a blanket switch off over all apps like you can do on Apple devices. Because of this, you may just choose to switch off apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Gmail and those regularly searching and retrieving new data. 2ff7e9595c
