Will I make a huge mistake switching from a stock android phone to an iphone? What will I miss? What will I gain? Honestly like the very small form factor and extreme power of the SE, but it sucks balls for media content I guess, but I do all that jazz on my pc/4k tv. Just tired of all the small patches, general lagginess and bugginess of android, and need a great back camera. Please hold me /g/

I just picked up an SE last night to replace my lolhueg 6+, easily the best purchase I've made in a long time. Inexpensive but very slick and capable, so comfy. I haven't been impressed with a consumer-tier product in a while but this is just nice.

Before we get the manlet trolls in here, I'm 6'5" and have huge hands. I enjoy comfortably being able to use this thing with one hand.

The 6+ is better than the SE which cut corners on some parts. I honestly can't understand what you're so impressed about.

I think you're thinking of the 6S+. The SE is technologically better, in pretty much every way, than the 6+.

It recks the Nexus in every benchmark. It is much faster.
>>55707453
I agree, went from a 5 inch to 6, back to 5, and considering back to 4 since my daily usage was much more hassle free with a 5, and would be even easier with a 4 since I have smaller hands. Used to own an apple touch ipod which was ok, mev performance. Only thing Im really worried is about work stuff and the low resolution screen. Have to take another look at it again tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.

I've been using a Nexus 4 for four years and am also thinking of switching to iPhone. I don't care about it being locked down since I'm pretty much over anything that rooted Android has to offer aside from the ability to easily pirate apps onto it.

Plus I'm trying to move into the business would in a big city at agencies filled with hipsters and want to fit in to the work environment which is all iPhones and OSX aside from the Android test devices.

I'm sure I'll get shit on by all the thinkpad-using neckbeards here but would the iPhone 6s be a good upgrade from my Nexus 4? Particularly the battery life and camera which makes my Instagram look like shit to potential clients.
>>
>>55707967
>>55707967
To be honest,anything is a good upgrade. Se and 5x both have best in the game cameras, both do 240fps slowmo and hdr . Se is much faster, but worse for media and battery usage. Se is aluminium, but the nexus is very comfy too. aftermarket is huge for apple, if you need wagerproofness, you can buy it. Pick your poison.
>>
>>55706862
My feelings as well.

Android undoubtedly does not feel as smooth as iOS. But the sacrifice in functionality and hardware are not worth getting an iPhone to me.
>>
went from a galaxy to 6s. there's alot of questionable design choices, giving you almost no room for configuration, and the stock apps are complete trash. touch id only works half of the time, camera is somehow worse than i expected, no notification lights?? disappointed in iphone but at least its better than my galaxy rofl
>>
>>55708223
can you explain what you mean by no room for configuration and the stock apps being trash? I know that you can't change icons and add widgets etc but I'm curious what else is missing.
>>
>>55708223
The only problem I have with Touch ID is sweaty fingers (it's 91 degrees currently) and that Apple slowed it down in an update since the sensor recognized too fast.

The amount of money you pay for an iPhone can be used in every case to buy a better android phone.

I just bought an LG g3 for $110. A similarly priced iPhone would be the 4s. My mom has the 4s right now, with the latest ios. It lags way more, takes shittier pictures, and the screen is super tiny. This LG g3 is insanely responsive and quick.

I'm an admitted flopper between android devices and iPhones. While I'm currently using a Galaxy S7(which the whole "S" experience is pretty meh), I often get drawn back to iPhone for a couple reasons: more cohesive experience between apps, iMessage, being able to easily manage the phone and data on it through iTunes, easily repairable, and girls just like them more.

because of the price, the price is objectively shit and the design is fucking terrible, it's also slow compared to a phone running Android 6 (latest version) Android runs significantly better, has better software and better design, I love Android and I have used an iPhone then I switched to Android and I honestly despise iOS now, it's absolute shit

I like the design of the SE
>>

not the physical phone, the design of the Operating System, don't ever touch shitty samsung devices, those aren't real Android but rather a shitty Android, get a Google Nexus or a OnePlus phone, those are the best ones out there.

only on Windows and Mac OS, but if you are using GNU or BSD then it won't accept it, it has DRM to prevent reading of the drive, with Android this isn't a problem, you can read it entirely free of DRM

Had a 6, switched to the 6P and really love it but I'm probably going to switch back once the 7 comes out. Android just does not feel nearly as polished and all of Googles apps are way better on iOS. I honestly like the 6P a lot and Android N is excellent but there's just something missing.

Yes. I just recently switched from an iPhone 5s to a much cheaper stock Android and my nuts are still sore from the engorged semen.

not really, considering it can outperform most other smartphones

>no mSD slot
not a problem if you have 128/64GB onboard storage

but you can with jailbreak

>shit res screen
not really.

>shit camera
great software for it, nothing can compare

amazing stand-by and it's not really bad.

android didn't have one and I still think it doesn't

how is that an issue
you can access the filesystem via tweaks or iFunbox

>>55721856
>overpriced
On paper yes. In just about every technical aspect the 6P is superior. But one thing people fail to understand is that you can also use price to filter out a demographic you don't want. Apple wants the upper middle class and the rich to help reinforce their image. To some people that means that you pay more not to be associated with poor android users (granted most poor people have iPhones they can't afford anyway) and you also are part of a much more developed ecosystem. I guess what I'm saying is there are things to an iPhone that aren't exactly tangible that you get.
>nomSD slot
Legitimate gripe, although me personally I never had issues so long as you get the 64GB model. Audiophilia is a hobby of mine and I have tons of FLAC and SACD rips but the thing is for my phone I just encode to 320. Some people are autistic to the point they want their entire FLAC collection on their phone but to me that seems silly. I'm either going to be listening through earbuds or my car and it wont make a difference.
>shit res screen
I'll be honest here, when I first got the 6P what was immediately noticable to me was the gap between the glass and the display. The 6P display just seemed "dull" despite the high res to me. There's also issues with rainbowing at off angles on the 6P. Overall I prefer the 6P display but I don't think the resolution is a very big deal. OLED is definitely an improvement though.

No wonder you like your locked down appstore.

>>55721976
>shit camera
From a technical standpoint the S7 beats it but software is no comparison. The S7 is fast but using the camera on any other android phone is miserable. This is especially true inside of apps that use the camera like Snapchat or WhatsApp. iOS camera software is just much superior and the 7 will bring the hardware up to match.
>shit battery life
Mediocre on the standard model and great on the plus. There's pseudo "fast charging" because of the battery size but legitimate fast charging would be nice.
>shit mobile OS
That's a whole post on its own, I'll come back to this.
>no native file browser
The times I've ever cared about this were basically non existent.
>cant use phone as a flash drive
See above.
>have to use lagtunes
On OSX itunes is actually great so I don't mind as much but it's still annoying. Legitimate gripe although backup and restore process is a huge advantage.
>No back button
iOS' swipe from the left of the screen to go back gesture is better IMHO
>shit multi tasking
Right now split window on android is buggy anyway
>less apps
Sure I guess, although I'd be hard pressed to name an app I'm jealous that android has
>encryption full of backdoors
Google makes large profits off of data mining and selling your online profile while apple makes most of their money from consumer electronics with a diehard fanbase and an unmatched reputation not only in the techspace but in all of business. I'd be hard pressed to see them tarnishing that.
>>
>>55721976
>aren't exactlt tangible

It's called a status symbol. Warren Buffet and others would call those consumers useful idiots.
>>
>>55722151
Typical ignorant response I was expecting. I'm not talking about status. I'm going to use this analogy and it's a bad one but it'll show more of what I'm referring to. Inevitably the retards on this board will misinterpret what I'm saying but I'll say it anyway. It's in the same vein as an old sports car. A newer sports car is superior in every way and will destroy it around a track (in most cases). However, there's intangible benefits of the old car, most of which you could lump under "soul." Take an old E30 M3. Are people concerned with status going to give a shit about that car? No. But that car has things about it that make it better than a newer M3 that won't show up on paper (besides weight). It's the philosophy I guess of the car. The fact that the electronics are stripped down, the driving experience is more pure and more of an embodiment of what the car is supposed to represent. That's the type of thing I'm talking about with the iPhone. Maybe it's the attention to detail. The fact that unboxing it is an experience on its own while unboxing my 6P was just like unboxing another gadget. It's that tried and true refinement that makes as difference over chasing bleeding edge at the cost of being unrefined.

iPhone 6 user here. What Android phone should I upgrade to?

The Chinese are making fake ones, they are like 120-150$ work and look exactly like the same thing, If You are just curious then You could spend 500$ less on the experiment, Thats how I rationalize the experiment.

>>55722312
>$600 future paper weight
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Since iPhones depreciate so slowly I can sell my current one for most of it's value right before release and upgrade for minimal cost. Meanwhile android flagships tank in value. Oh, and how many are running Marshmallow?

All i can do is share my experience.

Had an S4 for a while, but threw it agaisnt a wall in a fit of rage.

Decided to try an iphone 6s, beautiful little fucker. Build quality is great, good camera obv. But it just didnt feel right. Navigating through apps was cumbersome to me.

Ended up returning it the next day for a cheapass galaxy grand prime. Saved like 400$ and this phone is essentially a galaxy S4 specs, so feels like home. No regerts
>>
>>55707453
I'm down for an SE from my current 4S. I've got some cases and lens adapters that'll fit a 5s/SE.

The new phones look like they'll have better cameras but will be much more expensive, also the lens bumps are hideous.

SE is beautiful design at a good price. Probably won't get a discount in September just disappear like the 5c did.
>>
>>55708600
>I just bought an LG g3 for $110
Woah, the second hands go for between 170-230 $ in my country. Did you get it for reall cheap or is this price is normal in your country?
>>
>>55722376
It's economics you dip. If I have a 6S and I'm expecting to buy the 7, why should I keep the 6S when the 7 comes out? I will have more money and thus it will be cheaper. Probably you pay everything with your credit card, that, my friend is the definition of being poor, and stupid.
>>
>>55722914
The SE won't be going anywhere when the iP7 is released. Wouldn't expect a price change or spec bump either.

>tfw been Linux/Android for years but debating going iOS/Mac
I just want Unix laptop where I don't have to worry about random compatibility issues and a phone that just performs well at normal phone things and actually gets updated. For some reason it seems like Apple is my only choice.

Switched from pretty much stock Xperia to SE, it's fucking awesome and I don't miss anything. Only iTunes is bit annoying.

Then I installed iOS 10 Beta and shit began to lag almost as bad as Android, feels right back home.
>>
>>55723886
From my experience I wouldn't install a iOS beta until at least the 4th iteration. The first couple are usually not very stable.
>>
>>55723958
Well, it was my first iDevice, so had to experience to rely on. (And OSX Betas were rather good sans Yosemite) Funny enough the first beta performs pretty much like finished Android, at times it runs fine but you get the shitty responsiveness moments; I am used to that, so it wasn't a biggie either way.
