I am a long time Android user. I have many friends that carry the iPhone and see it everywhere. I have long wondered the advantages and preferences to the iPhone over an Android. Can you share some of the reasons it would be a better buy to switch to the iPhone? Thanks.

I ended appreciating Android, since I had a bad experience with iOS, so I can`t answer as a loyal fan of iPhone would do
What I can say is that Android models are more reliable for daily tasks, while iPhone is a more glamorous model with a fine design, but I don`t see it going underwater as some Xperias

In my experience, Android phones tend to have a variability in terms of hardware specs and quality. The apps released for the Android also don’t have to pass quite as rigorous of testing from what I recall.
However, you can get Android phones far cheaper than any IPhone, even older models. Yeah, there’s risk in getting a bad model of Android if you’re not careful. Read reviews, shop around, you’ll probably find a nice one.
IPhone on the other hand tends to be very much what people expect in a more expensive product, their quality control is pretty tight.

In my opinion, iPhones are great because you know you are getting a high quality product. Samsung has a larger line-up of phones and may be cheaper but some of their phones are not very powerful. I have the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 X and it is quite slow. However, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is definitely up to par with the iPhone.

Yeah, that’s a very good point. With the IPhones, they’re all meeting a certain CPU spec, and for the specific series they’re all using the same processor I believe. However, android phones and devices can vary a lot there and you may get a device that can’t run apps effectively.

Ironically, even apps on iOS can be a headache, it depends on what you intend to use. If you download apps from a developper little known, you have all the chance on both platforms to come acros a bad app
Android constantly developed, similarly to iOS, usually older versions are slower and don`t receive security updates, so whether you like it or not, you would use your old Android-based smartphone for buy back, to purchase a better model

I don’t have any first-hand experience with iPhones, but I find it interesting that almost everyone in this thread is citing “high quality” as their main reason for going the Apple route. Yet within my circle of friends, the ones who have iPhones are the ones who are always complaining that every time there’s a significant update, they’re off to the Apple store because their phones won’t work at all. They’re also the ones who are most often asking for contacts again when they get mysteriously ‘wiped’. My question is, when you all say “quality” do you mean physical construction; because I honestly can’t recall any of my Android friends complaining as much. Or is it simply that iPhone people like to talk about their phones so much that they even like to say bad things about them?
