For Note or Android users thinking of switching over to iPhone 7/7+, I'd like to offer my experience using iPhones. I had used all the iPhone series since first model with exception of iP5S
Be prepared for a " shock" at how closed IOS is vs Androids
Here are some :
It is basically the management of files on IOS vs Android
To me is quite an important issue but could be totally unimportant to others
IOS restricts any file type to only one app and one must reassigned the same file to other apps if needed eg a PDF file if assigned to Adobe Reader cannot be read by any other apps unless I reassigned it again and that needs iTunes
Using iTunes to manage my files collection is troublesome
Unlike Android you can do practically anything on phone itself eg delete, edit file names, move, copy etc
Most files ( except video) I am unable to delete directly on phone unless to use iTunes
All files downloaded through Mail app if I assigned a certain app to open it , I must use the same app to access it again
Whatsapp : every image and video files is lumped together in one single Camera folder together with all my other photos. Deleting any images/videos on whatsapp will not delete the file and I need to manually go into camera folder to delete it and than select empty from Deleted folder
Downloading attachments on Mail app is terribly slower vs even my lowest end Android. One still need a separate app to send attachments thro Mail.
I had purchased Sandisk iXpand 64GB drive to act as external USB OTG drive but is overall a disappointing experience - file transfer speeds is so terribly slow vs Android. And the Sandisk drive isn't cheap either - last year I paid nearly RM300 for the 64GB unit. All copied files goes to a single My Downloads folder on phone and you cannot placed your files on any folder of your choice
The iPhone is overall a very good efficient phone other than these file management issues. Such files management is easily done on any Android and on the phone itself. I could easily create any folders on phone internal memory or ext SDCard and move files easily within phone itself. No need to connect the iPhone with PC to do such simple tasks
thanks uncle benny.
this actually the 1 of major reasons holding me back from getting I7plus.
I mean i know how great the OS efficient etc. new dual camera with portrait mode does attract me alots (I like taking lots of photos)
but comes to itune and app management... does feel not that simple and convenient.
Last but not least, extra RM1420 for I7plus 128gb, really not worth the money in my mind (personal opinion and above my personal budget)
waiting T&L HK release V20 and will give LG a try. (Hope they price agak agak RM2699 like that)
though I heard lots of people complain G4 and V10 bootloop issue ( I suspect snapdragon 808 issue), but some still mention even new G5 with S820 also having bootloop issue.
Just hope LG did discover problem on previous bootloop in G4 and V10 and manage to sort out and fix on V20.
Can't bear if V20 bootloop after 1year warranty, then another few hundred/thousand buck to fix the motherboard etc.
Then the total cost will be phone price + repair cost. (might peak RM3k~RM4k)
All these keep spinning in my head for few days . Dilemma I7plus and V20.
hahahahahaha
