[NFBCS] Switch to iPhone?

Fri Sep 17 22:11:16 UTC 2021

Huh, what does this have to do with the internet of things? To somewhat answer Dan's questions, I went from an iPhone to an Android phone and back to an iPhone, so I can't really talk about what it would take to go straight from an Android phone to an iPhone. I'd say the basics will be the same in that you'll be flicking, exploring by touch and double tapping. The individual gestures will differ from platform to platform though. Although Apple is letting you customize your system more, you have more control over your Android phone, so if you're particular about how your home pages are set up, you may be disappointed in the iPhone. I tend to think the iPhone is a bit more stable as IOS gets updated, but I've definitely been burned by regressions with both the iPhone and my Android phone.

IMHO, both platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, so it would be best if you could take an iPhone for a spin before deciding to take the plunge. If you told us what you do with your smart phone, and what's important to you, you may also get some more and better advice then what I'm offering.

Sounds like the electronics had a bad crash.  This happens when we try to push Internet of things down everyone's throat.  You can't put a truck in a doghouse.
