This time I switched to Android via a Nexus 5. Battery life is still not acceptable
I switched to Moto X after using an iPhone for four and a half years. With the same usage patterns, my Moto X lasts as long as my iPhone 4 before. The Nexus 5 is apparently notorious when it comes to actual battery life.
Having to kill an app or cleaning their local cache are things I don't want to do on my phone. Specially when I'm trying to get around or find a very urgent information.
Never had to that that. In fact, my experience is quite the opposite. Even after all those years, iMessage messages would arrive minutes to ours too late or in the wrong order (very annoying when you have to meet with someone). iTunes Match would often only download albums partially. Calendar sync was not immediate (there was often a delay between adding an appointment and it showing up on the Mac and vise versa).
Since switching to Android I wouldn't want to go back. It has decent keyboards (finally coming in iOS 8), I can actually share data between apps (finally coming in iOS 8), I can attach files from within the e-mail client (rather than only being able to pick a file from an app and then saying that I want to share it via e-mail). Google Now and voice recognition are awfully much better than Siri, especially because it's actually integrated in the Google Now Launcher, and not an island on its own.
Besides that fact that I find Android far more pleasing, I bought my Moto X for half the price of an iPhone 5 and I have a data plan for 10 Euro per month. This means I can upgrade my phone every 8-12 month without spending a dime extra.
