    Sorry if there's already a thread for this, if so please move.
    I'm wondering whether to change from an Android to i-phone and was wondering if there's much difference?
    Anyone using one now?
    The one i'm looking at is the 16e, any good?
    Thank ya in advance. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I just left apple due to Data reasons government has requested apple release encrypted data they hold on customers so i switched to galaxy s25 or my kids picked it out for me.

    The UK government has requested Apple to provide access to encrypted data stored by users on iCloud, specifically through a Technical Capability Notice (TCN) issued under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA). This demand has sparked controversy, with privacy advocates and some governments raising concerns about potential breaches of user privacy and the precedent it might set. Apple, in response, has reportedly removed Advanced Data Protection (ADP) from the UK market, which is an optional feature that encrypts user files on iCloud.

    I flit from Samsung to iPhone every couple of years or so and other than a short adjustment period find Android and Apple equally intuitive and straightforward to use.

    Like changing from one car to another, for a while you put the windscreen wipers on when you're intending to turn left but you soon get used to things.

    I have both an iPhone (personal use) and an android (work phone). Each has their own quirks but there isn’t really much difference when all is said and done. I think iPhones are a bit more intuitive but that’s probably because I’m more used to them.

    Made the same move a couple of years back with no regrets. Apps work better/smoother in my limited experience of the apple ecosystem.

    I find Iphones much easier to use than androids.

    Never had an Iphone, nor would I; tax dodging Yank ****s get not a penny of mine, I doubt they notice but, **** 'em anyway - my daughters prefer to them Android if that helps?

    I’ve got an older iPhone an X best phone I’ve ever had, completely up to date and the battery life is still almost 90 percent.
