iOS vs the competition

[kaktus1389]

Hello all so I just came over from Windows Central for a while and as you all probably know the times for Windows Phone users are getting worse. I would be very thankful if you guys would help me (and potentially other Windows 10 Mobile/Android users) with finding things that make iOS superior to other phone operating systems?

I don't know if I would use the word superior . I think they all have their pros and cons. . I think you need to find out what makes it better for you.

Although, some will disagree with the above statement you do need to make it to help suit your needs. BTW ...there is a lot of things I like about windows OS but unfortunately we are down to two OS's . Pick your poison

I've never used another platform. It's been iPhone from my first smartphone. But here's what I like. Ease of use, great customer support, OS updates come to everyone at the same time, iMessage and the new features that came with iOS 10, stability, and apps! There's so many really great apps. I do things on my iPhone with apps you simply can't do on other platforms.

iOS has more apps that any other platform, it's usually more stable and reliable than any other platform, you are guaranteed updates as soon as they come out for five years from the release of the device (as history shows right now), and the accessibility options are second to none. You really just need to try it for yourself and see what you think, some people just can't handle the closed system and lack of customization and they choose or stay on Android because of it. Even Windows Mobile has more customization of app layout than iOS does.

iOS just works. Period.

Android also worked, when I kept tinkering and tweaking on it.

Like apps I use for photoshopping. You can't find apps like Superimpose on Android or other platforms. They all have photo editing, but it's not the same.

I would dare to say that regarding customization of app layout Windows 10 Mobile has more options than Android and iOS, but probably looses everywhere else except for security and Continuum.

And is there anything that you guys dislike on iOS?

I would say the only things I really dislike are the lack of customization options, no home screen widgets, and waiting for Apple to implement features.

The mail app could use improvement. It works ok, just seems lacking in some ways. But there's plenty of 3rd party mail apps that are nice.

Wow. That's an awesome app. Thanks for the tip.

I like the stability of iOS and features like "in app sharing", and "extensions". I like Apple's innovative way to keep iOS apps sandboxed for security, though that they can work together. Much of that is app developer dependent, though many take advantage of these features.

Just bought it too!

I would highly encourage you to get your hands on a mid range Windows Phone (650 is the best bang for the buck). You don't and I don't suppose you want to replace IOS as your daily driver. My suggestion is based on you never using any other OS. I love the Win 10 Mobile OS. It's the most intuitive OS I have used and I have used all three for quite some time each.

I recently left the WM10 eco system for a 7+. I love the 7+. I just wish I could depend on WM as my daily driver but I can't. The eco system is solid but for one big exception; APPS. For someone that want to make calls, text, FB, Twitter, GPS, great camera, WM10 phone would be good for them. Doing anything like Snapchat, MLB app and many other apps important to most people just isn't possible.

If anyone here that is a many year IOS user and have never tried WM10, I would encourage you to give it a try. Don't buy a low end WM phone, get something in the mid to upper range to get the full potential of WM10.

It's a great app. But for the record I found it on the android App Store as well.

Just search for superimpose in the play store jackd. It's the first result. Let's you do some very cool pic edits.

Judging by some of the reviews in the Google PlayStore, it seems like an entirely different app.
