Switching from iPhone to Android

[GlocknSpiehl]

I’m seriously considering going to a Samsung Note S9, now that the prices are reasonable. Is it hard to switch? Is Android easy to get used to?

Android is excellent. I can't stand the iPhone, very confusing.

Android is all I've ever used and hate having to try and do anything with my moms Iphone.

It will be considerably different but the same. Th Android system is really hard to beat, and won't own your soul in the way Apple wants to.

Google is great, but has it's own quirks, so take it FWIW.

Happy Shopping

It's tough switching from any system to another, but having used both I'll take android every time.

Nothing "wrong" with the iPhone OS, just personal preference.

After you adjust to Android I'll bet you will enjoy how configurable it is.

Best of luck.

If you make the switch, be prepared for a few days of confusion / frustration.  The phones have different interfaces.  It takes a little getting used to.  To me it was worth the switch.

I prefer android.  I was never a fan of being locked into the proprietary world of Apple.

Oh yeah, if you purchased anything from iTunes; it may not work on a non-Apple platform.  That was one of my motivations to get away from AAPL.  Back in the day, I bought a bunch of music from iTunes.  When my iPod died, I had nothing to play my music on.  I don't know how things are today, but back then iTunes music wouldn't play on a standard MP3 player.

As recently. or as long as, seven years ago, iTunes could be configured to work on an MP3 player. A friend did several for us on our project. It took him the better part of the two week hitch to get it done the first time, after that it was still a labor of love, but he knew how. The sad part is, he put all that music into iTunes. Apple will "enhance" music and although a fantastic feature, they claim it for themselves. It was very clear they didn't want the music on a non-apple device. The guy was one of our IT guru's, so it wasn't like someone like,,,,oh,,,,,,me, who knows just enough to be dangerous. LOL

I've heard it's much easier to switch from iOS to Android instead of the other way around.  I've always used Android, but do have experience with iOS due to my Grandpa having an iPhone 6 (I think).  Honestly, anything Apple sucks in my eyes.

For me, life is much better with as much distance between me and Google/Alphabet as possible.

I made the switch from apple to android also.  The adjustment, for me, was very easy and I am kinda dumb with these things.
