    My Wife has an I phone & mine is a Samsung . You can give me a Samsung any day , she is always in trouble with the I phone & asking me to sort it , most times We have to wait for one of our kids to come to fix it were with mine bit of fiddling for 5 min's & all sorted. Mine is about 8 years old now & am starting to have trouble with charge cable coming unplugged , have replaced the cable so socket must be worn. Wife also had an Apple watch , that was a waist of money , battery only lasted life of warranty so needs to buy a new one .

    Some people just shouldn’t have tech Oops, new respect for Chinese phonesOops, new respect for Chinese phones

    iPhones are one of the easiest, hard to stuff up OS out there. Inherently hard to cause problems with as they ask before any changes can be made.

    Using both the major difference is that droid allows people to make it “pretty” with visual customisation a key point. The iOS ‘look’ is more fixed.

    Other than that they essentially are the same in significant points.

    Having said that - The new Lidar feature is awesome on the iPhone 12 Pro!

    I have an iPhone 10 and my daughter still has my old iPhone 5 (which I recovered from the junk drawer and installed a new battery in when her Nokia finally died). My wife has a relatively new Samsung.
    We never have any problems at all with the iPhone - can't say the same for the Samsung.
    I've now changed right away from Microsoft - have a MacBook and iPad as well as the iPhone. Love they way they all sync with each other with no effort from me at all - would never go back to a Microsoft computer (though I do currently also run parallels and Windows 10 on my MacBook just so that I can run a couple of work software programs that don't have an IOS version).
    When I first started using Apple products - yes, it did take a while to get used to the operating systems as they can be very different from Microsoft equivalents. But once I got used to it, I would never go back.

    But I can't justify the dollars for an Apple watch (and I don't like them anyway). I have a Huawei smart watch because my doctors told me to get something with good live pulse monitoring, and it does everything that I need and I only have to charge it about every 10 days.

    That is all soooooo true.

    I had macbooks from the start of me using computers, so never really got into the MS thing.

    Then iPhones starting with a 4s. I 'needed' it for contract work I was doing at sea. (got called an elitist by some in town, but just smiled because the quality, including the batteries means they're cheaper in the longer term)

    The first phone drowned accidentally, went to Geelong and got another, plugged it into the macbook which said something like 'I see you have a new iPhone, would you like to restore emails, photos, contacts, etc, etc, etc.'

    I ticked the boxes and said go, it said please wait, then said 2 minutes 35 seconds and it was done. All done, just like the same old phone but it wasn't the same phone. Soooo easy.

    Have been in a car working with a mate doing stream barrier data collection and he had a high end Asus with a GIS program on it. Every time he'd turn it on and open the program it would do the Monica and then take 5 minutes or more to reboot. Cost us a lot of time.

    He went Mac / iPhone after he was shown a reboot on a macbook took maybe 20 secs. He's never looked back.

    The other thing I'll say is that every time I open either of my macbooks or use the phone I look forward to using them. Can't say that about some other stuff I've had to use at work.
