My 1st iPhone…..and I Love It!
Let me start off by saying that every smart phone I have had was a droid, even though I have several apple mac computers. My wife has had her iPhone for about a year now and she just likes it. I really liked my motorola droids. However, my latest droid was acting really sluggish, slow on camera shutter, and just different anomalies even after factory resets. (It is over 3 years old). But I did not want to change. I knew the android system and felt comfortable.
I spent like a month off and on researching smart phones. Not too big, yet not too small. Fast and easy to use with a great camera. It boiled down to either a Samsung S5 (removable battery and SD card and it is water resistant), or the iPhone 6.
My wife said get the iPhone then I could "discover" more ways of using the iPhone and share with her. So I reluctantly made the switch.
Here is my opinion: The software is not "intuitive" like so many have said. I think features are awkward and you must know how to use it. But once you do, it is easy and fast!
The screen is absolutely clear and natural looking. I can even see it in daylight outside. The camera is spectacular and also fast. Videos fast and clear. The controls are easy to reach, even one handed. Email is fast and very easy to scroll through. Web access is fast, and I even use and like "Siri". It is just loaded with features I just really like.
And the phone. Yes the phone. I make and receive calls easily and they are clear. The list of pros is long. My battery lasts me well into the evening and I have been using the heck out of it to get use to it.
There are some things I do not care for such as when turning the screen off and then realizing I forgot to look at something else, I have to go through the passcode again. There may be a way to lengthen the time delay, just haven't found it yet. And not being able to change any settings while in an app like a droid, you have to go to the phone settings and access the specific app you want to modify. It is just getting used to the system. And I hate iTunes, but like the rest of the phone, I just need to learn how to use it.
In conclusion, I am now a convert! I love my iPhone. I can't believe I am saying that.
