It has been a month that I have had the iPhone and I think I can give a good impression of the switch.
I initially waited for the Galaxy S5, till they announced it. The problem for me is the phone is getting too big for my needs as I have a tablet for reading, etc. Next I stared at my phone to determine what do I really do with a cellphone... It came down to normal phone use, calendar, internet, whatsapp and very important, taking pictures. So I started checking what other Android phones are available with a smaller screen size, but nothing came to light that had a top spec processor, camera, etc.
The iPhone 5s remained...
So I did it. At first I had a slight bit of buyers remorse. But started to get the hang of it. In the end I am fairly happy with the move. The iPhone is def not intuitive enough that you can do it without a lot of googling. And I am not totally new to IOS as I have had the iPad since the first version (on 3 now).
The good stuff:
It works nice and quick
Battery life is still great (for now)
The fingerprint thing is nice for security with the requirement lately for corporate email. I actually took my email off my Galaxy S3 as I didn't want to type a passcode everytime.
Size
The bad stuff:
It is not very intuitive
You can't share a photo directly to Whatsapp (huge PITA)
It appears when the phone sleeps if the data is cut off from Whatsapp
I am still exploring the functionality. Got a book that guides you through the iPhone on all aspects. I am not halfway through yet.
Now I need to check my back every day to ensure I don't become an iSheep
