So many think that Google copied things from Apple to create the Android platform. Well iPhone users can be happy that it happens all the time.
Apple copies a bunch of features from Android, calls it iOS5
Just goes to show you that there are no new ideas, the best ones are stolen from your competitors!
Android & only Android

This really isn't a big deal at all.
Companies do this type of thing all the time to remain competitive, this competition leads to a better product for the end-user.

Apple only good at sueing. They should come up with iSues.

Idea Sharing
They're all constantly grabbing content from each other, so this really isn't anything new. Every month we get another lawsuit opened that any one of the bigger manufacturers stole some idea from another group.
i think will be awesome to be using iphone in droid cos droid is the best

Let people know about this. This is normal there is no need for sueing. Everybody get their ideas from somewhere to start with. They get creative and build something better. At the end of the day we will see a fast growing tech development for the betterment of all people.

Hi guys, I'm considering to replace my old trusted HTC desire with an iPhone 4s. Will I miss my android? Anyone make a similar jump?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
The simplest answer is, yes.
I don't know, but I can guarantee Android won't miss you.
How so? Well maybe I will miss the widget feature but other than that I think iPhone kinda do a pretty good job IMHO.

No need to flame guys, it's just a simple question.
Now to the OP, try IOS put, if you like it, keep it. If not, you care slate trade the 4S for an android device. Once it comes down to it, it's all preference.

I went from being an iPhone user (iPhone3GS then an iPhone4) to android and would never go back. There isn't much you can do on an iPhone in was of customization without jailbreaking, and a jailbroke ios4.0 was very unstable for me with horrible battery life. Not to sure about a jailbroke ios5 since I bailed before it was released, although my wife now has the iPhone4 with ios5 (stock) and it is fast, so I'm sure the 4s would be snappy as ever with the improved processor. I like optons, so for me android is a better experience.

It depends on how much money you spent on apps from the Android market.

You will by default miss something about android. That's just natural. Will that thing be enough to make you regret your purchase? Only you can answer that. Hell I miss some things about WebOS on my Touch pad. But will I go back? Nah B-)

i don't really get why you'd want to go the iphone route unless you're feeling a little retro today.
the main reason iphone users dont switch (from my observations) was the money spent on apps, but i've never heard of android users switching to an iphone unless it was an entry-level phone (ie: optimus one, galaxy gio)
edit:
if you're bored with your phone, you can try a different manufacturer like samsung, moto or maybe go stock with a gnex. it'll be a completely new experience.

Actually considering gnex too especially with ics. Samsung for me I dont like touchwiz even if I get one I will definitely install AOSP rom. In that case I will still feel like same old android. Thanks for the input.

The biggest thing for me that keeps me away from ios other than it being closed and no customization is the lack of a dedicated back button. I think its a huge thing to leave out and makes things like opening links in one app that brings up another very disorienting. I think its a huge flaw in the design of the OS. The one home button is incredibly inconvenient and clunky.

Not really, In two years of Android, I've spent a total of $5 on Android apps from the market, I'd miss Android if I left.

That's why I said 'it depends,' and followed it with a smiley. Some people would miss the money they spent in the market/app store. Others will only care about ideology or the OS.
i switched to iphone4 for about two weeks and oh hell no lol i couldnt get back to android fast enough, but i like the roms and just the hacking in general for android
My friend did that... switched from android and now whenever I flaunt my android the look on his face is hilarious...
Hey everyone, it's true. I got a hipster white iPhone. And I love it!
Here's how it happened. I some how got water under my battery and it's cover (a decent amount) and I tried turning it on and charging it. It didn't start so I put it in rice, for two days nothing happened.
I needed a phone so I used my upgrade for the fruit phone. I noticed the battery life is amazing, like really amazing. I haven't jailbroken it yet because I'm starting to think its just waste of time. Unless your cracking apps...
Or tethering
Overall I couldn't be happier, I won't say I'm an I sheep because I don't even have iTunes on my linux machine so I only use pandora. But yes, I will buy the iPhone 5 unless the next nexus (jellybean 1) is able to feel as fluid as ios. No more exuces. Duces.
Oh yeah I found out the nexus battery got shorted out by the water so I just order the extended battery. So I'm braking my Optimus s and puting the nexus on. So yes I will still be around these parts of the Internet.
Also why is the iPhone forum here blank?
Feel free to post your android to IOS transition here I suppose.
Why aren't there more iPhone posts on an Android forum? I'd think that would be self-evident. >.>
Glad you're enjoying your iPhone, dude.

"hipster white iphone"
Hahahahahahahahaha......
Sorry, but every time i see a white iphone,
Either i, in my mind, see a chihuahua in a lv bag,
Or those fancy high-class socialites wearing fur coat having tea time and holding tea cup with the pinky raised.
For the OP and many others...in case you haven't noticed, XDA has a sister site (iphone-developers) where you can show all of the love for the iphone.
So post there . To the OP..one more and you are out of xda for sure.
Thread closed.
I am now making enough money to buy any smartphone of my choice on or off contract.
But with that power comes great thought.
I love the nexus line, I just love everything about it. Its the defintion of cool.
I love my iPhone, I love how "everyone" thinks "oh an iPhone" like mindless sheep. It makes me feel like I'm in the inner circle. If that makes sense. But they some how make it feel like its the best and there's nothing else in town. Even though that's complely wrong. Buts that's how it feels.
Nexus vs iPhone is going to be a huge problem for me later in the year. I just wish Android could use emojis and cut trying to make apps for slower phones.

And I won't break any rules this time, I'll make sure to ask permission from the creator to edit his/her content and post it on our device, and this will be the LAST ROM I will be porting, if I do. After that, I'm done porting and I will be upgrading to either the iPhone 5 or the HTC One or S Blaze
OT: Which should I get?
(A) a Nokia Lumia windows phone
(B) An HTC One/One S
(C) an iPhone 5
(D) a Galaxy S family phone

I've thought about getting a Windows Phone. Specifically the Lumia 521. I love the UI and hardware but I think not having apps like Instagram would be hard (its my favorite social network). I have also thought about the LG L9.

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. So 1 for One S and 2 for iPhone 5. The vote will end by May 15th.
