why not pay more ?
1) A CAN$100 phone gives you 75% of the experience, a CAN$250 gives your 95% of the experience
2) Android doesn't lock you to use a single app depot
3) Android doesn't require 2 or 3 login / password (iCloud + iTunes)
4) Android accounts work worldwide, it doesn't fail to log you in if you change countries (I had to re-create an AppleID when I moved to Canada because the US one no longer worked)
5) You don't have to use an extra step when migrating, just log-in et voila ! (ie. not iTunes shenanigans)
6) generally poor software full of UI glitches
7) No pressure sensitive touch-ID which fails to work with aging users (try to explain the concept to a +80 yo).
8) I can still use my $2 earplugs without an adapter
9) Android does not care what OS you use on your main desktop
10) MULTIPLE SIM ! Dual SIM phone is pretty much getting standard. I wish there was triple or quadruple SIM phones
11) External storage
12) Removable batteries
etc.

- alacombe 9y agoI wasn't really speaking about the touch-ID feature per-se, but the lack of physical feedback from the pressure sensitive home button, as you can last find on the iPhone 6/6S. My uncle had all the trouble in the world to use it. For such an expensive device, this is just not acceptable.
