Is this the year I finally give iOS and the iPhone a spin? Between having the ability to upgrade anytime at no extra cost 3 times a year, I think I may finally give the new iPhone a spin. Quick charging will be SORELY missed, but it sounds like the regular sized iPhone finally has respectable battery life. The stereo speakers were very unexpected (didn't think they'd utilize the earpiece as a second speaker like HTC, props to Apple) but incredibly welcomed. The camera is, as expected, up there with the best. The A10 Fusion is incredibly impressive. The water resistance is awesome. The headphone jack will be missed, but thankfully, I mainly use Bluetooth headphones and my car used Bluetooth audio and I have chromecast audio and video set up which is compatible with iOS anyways. AMOLED is still better but I guess Apple has plans for next year hopefully... IMessage is even cooler now with the extensions as well as maps (but I'm more of a waze/Google maps guy). Switching shouldn't be a concern since all of my Google services are on iOS (Google music and what not) and the moment a jailbreak drops I'd definitely jailbreak it to customize like an Android device.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I use iMessage and then switch back to Android, will I have a problem receiving texts? I remember hearing about people missing text messages after switching to Android because of iMessage. Considering that I have jump on demand and can upgrade frequently, it is definitely a concern of mine since I'll definitely be looking at the next Samsung, HTC and LG phones and would like to know that I won't have to worry about messages being lost in the ether.
I would love to hear some feedback from Android converts and long time iOS users alike!
