I owned an original iPhone when it released. I owned the 3G. But frustrated with Apple's stagnant iOS, I left.
I've owned various Windows Phone devices since. Samsung Focus (Windows Phone 7), HTC HD7 (Windows Phone 7), Nokia Lumia 900 (Windows Phone 7), Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8), Nokia Lumia 1520 (Windows Phone 8) and lastly, Microsoft Lumia 950 (Windows 10 Mobile).
I'll go into the reasons when I can post a link. I have to make 10 posts first. So, if you REALLY wanna know why I left, look at my post history over in the forums on WindowsCentral dot com.
But here I am, albeit with reservations. Without going into every reason why I left, I will say this; A lot of the reasons are gone, but some still remain. Hopefully after lots of searching, and hopefully getting beta access to certain apps, I can love this ecosystem again as I did when it first launched.
Having said all of this... I now own an iPhone 6s Plus, 64GB Space Gray variant on the Verizon network. I went with the plus because the Lumia 950 I had JUST owned was a 5.2" screen. Prior to that was the 6" beast of the Lumia 1520. Going to a 4.7" screen would have been too dramatic from the Lumia 950 screen. So, I easily took to the larger 5.5" screen of the 6s Plus.
So here I am. New phone. New carrier. New forums. Not too uncomfortable... but I tread lightly.
