Has anybody switched from an iPhone 5 to an Android phone?
It seems like everytime this gets asked a flame war starts but I'd really like some honest opinions.
Right now I have an iPhone 5 and here what I like about Android:
1) Swype keyboard
2) Google Navigation (offline cached maps, etc)
3) Google Now (tell you traffic before appointments, etc)
4) Background tasks (downloading podcasts overnight even if they take more than 10 minutes!)
5) Bigger screen
6) Java (I'm just not a fan of Objective-C)
7) Location events (turn off Bluetooth at work, etc)
8) Intents (i.e. upload photos directly to Flickr, etc)
9) Face Unlock (just seems neat, but I know it's somewhat pointless - but this just shows how open Android is compared to iOS)
My concerns:
1) iPad - I have an iPad and it integrates nicely with the iPhone (i.e. pictures sync over, universal apps sync games to iPhone, etc)
2) Wife's iPhone and parents - Photostream is great to share pictures
3) Camera quality (this is important so hopefully Android can somewhat match it!)
4) Games seem to come out faster for iOS, but that's why I'm keeping my iPad.
5) AirPlay (mostly for music)
Does anybody have any honest opinions for me? Has anybody switched from the iPhone 5?
EDIT: I'm thinking about trying a Galaxy S3 from Amazon (unlocked/no-contract) so I have 30-days to see if I like it...
