I know people write these kind of threads alot, but really im kinda torn where im at with my device ecosyestems. I originaly had my Iphone 4 for 2 years before getting a iphone 5. I didnt have alot of issues with ios during that time, but honestly was feeling kinda bored with iOS, so i sold my iphone 5 on ebay and purchased a nexus 4 phone.
Theres alot about android I like. Google now is cool, I like having first party access to my google music, and I admit having widgets and control over basic settings better than iOS was cool.
But honestly, im not sure if I want to stay with it and not go back to iOS.
See, theres a few things that I miss about my old iphone and iOS.
these things include build quality, app quality, battery life, and honestly, im getting a little tired of micromanaging my phone to make sure im getting optimal battery life. Also, i like having the comfort of my local Apple Store in case I ever have a issue with my phone. With my nexus 4, I have to deal with shipping to google.
Right now I have a ipad mini, and while I wish it had a better screen, I do like it quite a bit. (but even then im kinda thinking wether I might a new nexus 7 or not)
And after watching google IO yesterday, there were quite a few things that excited me. What with improved google now integration, google music expanding, improved maps, and etc.
And honestly, even though google has done great with putting their apps on iOS, I really am unsure how much they can improve them on iOS. Google cant have the same level as integration as they do on android. I dont know how goog google now is on iOS, but its pretty seamless on android, and I dont think theres ever going to be a official google music app on iOS (espeacily if apple does their own music streaming thing soon.)
So really, while I think iOS has the better quality of apps between the two, I just am worried that if I go back to it, im going to get hosed because im pretty tied to google at the moment. if I go back to iphone and I have my ipad mini, I might as well just use Itunes match instead of google music, but google music cloud storage is free, which I like. but there still isnt a truly great third party google music iOS app. (ive tried melodies and gmusic and still had some issues)
So, even though this is technically a iOS site, I would still like to get feedback from you guys on my current situation. I think theres alot of people who might have experience with both OS's that can offer some input.
thanks.
