Just 2 years ago, I was using Windows 10 Mobile. I absolutely loved it. With the time though, I saw that even me - a person who mainly checks their e-mail on a phone, plays light games and uses whatever the Windows Store can offer, can't deal with the so popular "app-gap".
I have played A LOT with Windows Phones, I've used different hacks (a.k.a. after-market add-ons), but I needed to do the switch to Android.
I really liked the Moto G³ and so a year and a half ago, I just got it. I really loved it but Nougat appeared. My phone didn't receive the update - that was a shame. I unlocked its bootloader and flashed some Custom ROMs. I love playing with Custom ROMs! I'm even using pureNexus right now. But my phone is getting kinda obsolete by now. The battery is AWFUL. I can't even get throughout a day. And I am keeping it all-day on battery saver. It's too late now to say it's defective - warranty is over.
So let me pose this question - as a developer, I would like to get an iOS device to develop on, is it worth it to get an iPhone 8? Keep in mind I'm coming from that Moto G³. The iPhone 8 here costs nearly 4.5 TIMES as the Moto G³. I don't want to sit 9 years with the iPhone 8, do I? I'm also afraid to get a 7, because it costs 3.5 times more than the Moto G³ and I know it's going to be dropped from software support a year earlier than the 8. Also, keep in mind I'm going to get a new phone the coming summer.
I'm going to wait for your answers below.
