I switched to iOS this past year after using Android since the G1, and working as an Android developer for the past 5 or so years. Pretty happy with the iPhone X, less happy with iOS 11, I think previous iterations were better.
Things I like:
* typing feels much nicer, no lag in character input
* phone runs much cooler, does not make hand sweaty to hold
* far fewer random freezes or lag
* password management much better by default, every app with important information has faceid which is quite nice
* I prefer the photos taken by the iPhone camera
* I find tethering on iPhone works more consistently
Things I don’t like:
* no back button
* some Google apps for iOS don’t seem as good as their android counterparts. YouTube app keeps getting buggy updates, Inbox still doesn’t support full iPhone X screen.
* Prefer Android’s notification system
* A bunch of apps have video playback issues, I suspect there’s an OS level bug

Google is simply sabotaging iOS with all of that. There's no way Google can't afford to pay developers to fix that. They just want to annoy people. My solution was to quit as many Google services as I could.
- saagarjha 8y agoOddly enough, many Android apps are actually inferior to their counterparts on iOS, or lacking in features. Hangouts, for example.
- Improvotter 8y ago> * typing feels much nicer, no lag in character input This is huge for me. I feel like every Android phone has some kind of lag when typing and scrolling. It's really annoying me to the point of sticking with iOS even thought I'd love to switch to Android.
