I have a love-hate relationship with Apple and Android….
A few weeks ago, Apple launched their new iPhone 6 and the XL iPhone 6 Plus.
The iPhone 6 is the one that interests me more than anything. I currently use a Samsung Note3, albeit one that long since jettisoned the original Samsungised version of Android that it is intended to use and one that now runs Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly).
I love and hate the size of the Note3, the screen is pretty good in all but bright sunlight and the lightly extended version of AOSP plus Google services adds up to a nice phone.
There are very few things about the Note3 that I dislike.
– The battery life is poor, I struggle to get through a busy day
– There are still vestiges of Samsung – the home button for example.
– The camera is really ‘not all that’ and when you run a third-party ROM you are giving up many things, NFC is a prime example of this.
So, why am I writing about the iPhone 6Â Â ?
Because deep down I beleive that the Apple ecosystem is a better one than the Android / Google one.
