Just wanted to introduce myself to the community here.
About me:
Where I come from (devices):
From late 2005 to late 2017 I was a "CrackBerry" - I was a BlackBerry fanboy as one could be.
All started with my beloved BlackBerry 8700 from then on I had lots of BlackBerry devices from every generation.
My last device was the BlackBerry Passport SE (2016 - Nov. 2017).
Why I switched:
As many of you might know, BlackBerry stopped (or is stopping) support for all BlackBerry OS devices. I was loyal until it came to a point where it couldn't serve my needs anymore (apps stopped working, lack of support for the OS itself etc.)
So I had to find an alternative route for myself.
And iOS comes closet to what I have loved about BlackBerry OS and Apple's hardware has always been outstanding including their device support over the years.
To "what" did I switch:
I bought the iPhone 8 (256 GB version) in black.
Now, after almost a half year of use I can report, that I'm still in love with that device! Powerful as it can be, all my beloved apps run better than ever (but I'm not that heavy app user), camera is outstanding.
Why I took the iPhone 8 over the iPhone X or iPhone 8 Plus?
Why the 8 over the 8 Plus?
Actually it's the size, it fits comfortable in my pocket and in my hand.
The weight is just right - don't wanted a more heavy device anymore.
Why the 8 over the iPhoneX?
No doubt the iPhoneX is an awesome, awesome device.
But it still is a typical "Apple first generation device", which means it shows the future for Apple devices but still needs to get to it's full potential (software wise) - until it gets there, there will be at least one successor.
Also, the iPhone 8 seems to be the most perfect iPhone in the iPhone 6 "design", they had enough time to get it to perfection.
Another reason is, I got the same chipset and main camera as on the iPhone X.
Why i chosed iOS over Android?
I have no doubt that Android is a great OS, especially for developers and nerds (I mean nerds in a good way).
But the thing is, I was used to have I high standard of security and privacy with my former BlackBerry devices.
I was able to set my privacy settings as high as I wanted with apps.
And it seems iOS comes closest to that.
Android makes a living from "collection" all user habits and data - unstoppable when it comes to the OS itself.
So, that's my story.
