I went Android > iPhone 4, HTC HD7, Lumia 900, Lumia 925, Note 4, iPhone 6s+, iPhone 7+. My iPhone 4 was terrible. Replaced 3 times because it kept breaking (drops calls randomly, random reboots) But I've had nothing but terrible experience with Android. The first month is fine then it slows down to a grinding halt... My windows phones to date are still the best phone experience. But MS didn't release the newest phones in Singapore so I went iPhone. I'm basically an iPhone convert now. 0 issues. No slow downs. Just rock solid phone. My flat mate had nothing but androids and thee I the towel with the nexus 6 for an iPhone 6s+ and now he refuses to touch Android again. I don't understand Android popularity. (Personal opinion)

Android popularity is due to it's multi vendor nature. You don't like the latest Sony? Then buy HTC or moto or Xiaomi or whatever. You will even keep your apps and settings. Your problem with Windows was really due to lack of this.

Youe issues with android are easy to explain. You were not using android. You used horrible forks by HTC and Samsung. Its kind of sad that peoples android impression gets downed when they actually never run a clean Android..

  That's not entirely true. The problems I encountered on the Note 4 were no different from those encountered by my flatmate who was using the Nexus 6. For example if we did a clean install. What's App or LINE would both open the camera in ~1-2 seconds. With only installing a few apps (facebook, twitter, whats app, line...) after 1 month, both the note 4 and nexus would degrade in performance that What's App or LINE would take ~8 seconds to open the camera... After using an iPhone 6s+ for over a year, the camera opens instantly, every time... I thought it was my Note 4 and got it replaced twice... my flatmate couldn't replace the nexus since he bought it in Hong Kong and Google Singapore wont help. Everyone I know who has Android says iPhone sucks, but constantly complain their (android) phones are slow and laggy. Again, I don't understand why people like Android.

    well ok. Guess i have to take this. Personally i never experience such issues at all with clean android flavors (Nexus or AOKP). I use a different camera app since ages tho, maybe thats why i never experienced that issue. Overall i remember especially Samsungs flavors slowing down a lot after just a few months.
