An Android User's Perspective: Two Weeks with the iPhone 6s

[Becky]

Tech Spot have published their second article looking at the iPhone 6s from an Android user's perspective - here's a snippet:

I’ll start by expressing my frustration at one of the worst aspects of using an iPhone: the lack of a back button.

Apple has been obsessed with minimalism for years, which is why many of their products include the bare minimum amount of inputs: the MacBook with its ludicrous one USB Type-C port is just one example. The iPhone 6s features home, power, and volume buttons, and for a smartphone this really isn’t enough.

... have they got 2 button mice yet? I suspect they'll get the scroll wheel too.

When my iPhone 4 bites the dust - which it shows no sign of doing - at this moment in time I'd opt for Samsung/Android, that combo looks good to me.

However, I am quite fond of my iPhone 4, mostly used for music playback a la iPod and as a telephone though I have recently installed a couple of Apps, a Banking thingie and Uber minicabs. Adventurous huh?

Samsung/Android are gettin' a hammering over security ... If I were you, I'd stick to the Apple.

I'll keep me Nexus.

Really? My goodness gracious

I've no intention of changing anyway until the iPhone bites the dust which is unlikely. I've even bought a new battery for it cos I mistakenly thought the original battery was dying. But it isn't.

Well I've had a Nexus 6P for a week now and its fantastic and it confirms to me just how much I love and indeed missed stock Android. Even though the Oneplus One was running a very near stock Android 5.1.1 by Cyanogen, and some of the tweaks were nice, there's nothing like stock pure Android.

Marshmellow is amazing and the battery saving with Doze is outstanding.

Or the Motorola Moto X Play or Style/Pure are great phones along with the Oneplus X and Two (if you can get an invite!)
