Hey all,
I've been on windows phone since about 2011, and before that windows mobile. While I love the platform, I cannot take the app gap anymore. My contract is up now and I'm open to switch if I like. The only phone I'd switch to is the 6 plus. Android does not interest me. I just had some questions about things that I really like how windows phone does it, hoping that the iphone does it similarly.
1) Most importantly, all my contacts are synced to Outlook. I love this as I keep my contacts no matter where I go. Can I get my contacts on the iphone from outlook? And when I add a new contact, can I add it to Outlook?
2) Does it have a stock app that WP calls "data sense"? In that it tracks your data and what apps are using what. Both when you use it, and in the background (I have 6gb a month, but I like to keep track of it all)
3) I know there is some sort of shortcut panel you get to by swiping up from the bottom. Is that customizable at all?
4) Are there apps that pin specific settings to the home screen? As in can I pin the Bluetooth control page?
5) Is there a 'low battery' mode? For example on windows phone if you get to 20% it enters a mode where it turns off anything that uses data automatically, etc.
6) If anyone uses the SiriusXM app; can you multitask? Meaning can you keep the audio streaming while navigating to do something else on the device?
7) Can I pin certain folders within my outlook to the home screen?
8) Is iTunes still a must, or have they allowed drag and drop yet?
9) Can Siri add reminders, calendar entries, call people, text people hands free, etc? (apologies this may be a stupid question, just want to make sure)
Many thanks all for any help.
