[NFBCS] Switch to iPhone?

Sat Sep 18 00:43:04 UTC 2021

I was talking about the buggy behavior of the phones.  I blamed the 
internet of things because as more devices are connected to the web, the 
more of a data bottleneck thus creating this issue more and more.  That 
was a foot note but it makes me think that we all may have no choice to 
switch do to the way the market is going.

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.

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.
