Re: Today I have...
With the music thing, that's just what I mean about how you use it.
I don't use my phone for music, but if I did it couldn't be much easier. I buy my Music on iTunes, so I can just play any song without transferring anything from the music app on the iphone which is obviously linked to your itunes purchases.
So for me Android was harder for music. I couldn't get my iTunes purchased music on it as easy as on my iPhone, which is pretty obviously going to be the case. Just like how if you use all of Googles services, you are going to have a much easier time on Android.
It wasn't that I found it hard to use. It was just all the stuff like you have a home page, and then a button to view all your apps, and then you can hide icons and unhide icons and all this stuff... I kinda like the fact I can't do any of that on my iPhone because I really can't be bothered. Honestly, I have never moved an app on my iPhone 5S. I've had it for many months now and i've never ever moved the location of a single thing. Dunno why, that's just how I got used to using my phone. So when I started using android it drove me crazy because i'd lose track of where apps and stuff was. It wasn't anything android or the phone was doing wrong, I was just so used to iOS by that point it seemed such a hassle.
I guess i'm a bit weird really. Because I am pretty much the total opposite on my PC. I have everything organised properly in folders and sub folders, desktop shortcuts put in certain places and so on.
I didn't even need my computer for anything I did with Android besides obviously using Mightytext. The phone had a screen code so I needed to use iTunes and recovery to reset (no it wasn't stolen, I was being too lazy to ask since I swapped SIMs already). But I mean with Android, I copy over MP3s to my mSD and I can automatically use those as tones. For the iPhone I had to convert all my ringtones to ACC then the ones I wanted to use had to change the extension then sync to my phone to use. People say they prefer iPhone and Apple for "simplicity" but that isn't exactly simplicity. In my mind I'm thinking if you think you're too "dumb" to use Android then you can do this, you're obviously short handing yourself.
I don't even use my phone for internet and rarely use it for calling. I use it for texting and the camera. I decided to use the iPhone because of the camera but the other thing I do I can't because I don't have a Mac and I'm not on iOS 8 (as mentioned by iFargle).
I think the common misconception with Android is you need to be tech savvy to use it, but it's extremely easy to use and IMO with my current experience way easier to do simple tasks. Music? Simply copy pasta. Tones? More copy pasta. No extra BS with either. To do all Google based functions takes one sign in during initial setup and you can use the whole phone based on that. I had to create an Apple ID, then login with iTunes store before I could use the App store, then sign in with Facebook to share things on Facebook rather than simply using the app which Android can do. Download an app? Oh yea, need the password for that.
Basically to me all I see is extra unnecessary steps to do basic tasks rather than simply doing them on Android.
